    Help with exit points for swing trading (pic)

    If my partial profit doesn't add up to much, then I'd close my trade as soon as I make reasonable profit on the position. Taking what the market gives and ringing in consistent winners helps one's confidence in the long run. I'd increase on trade size , only after I've convinced myself...

    Help with exit points for swing trading (pic)

    I'd have booked atleast partial profits when the price approached the bollinger band ; allowed the balance position to ride but would get off before the price returned to hit break-even. Be stingy with your money & keep banking profits whenever available , especially when you're a newbie.
