How To Trade Double Top and Double Bottom Patterns
https://forextraininggroup.com/trade-double-top-bottom-reversal-patterns/
[Pros:
1. Bracket Orders have the advantage of “set and forget”.
2. When your target is executed, your stop loss gets automatically cancelled. No manual intervention is required. Vice versa is true. In a normal order sometimes one may forget to cancel their Stop Loss and that might get executed as a separate order, without the individual’s attention, and will get squared off in evening at whatever price it gets.
3. Able to fix the target and Stop Loss in a single order.
4. Entry is possible through a limit order and this avoids slippage.
5. Have trailing Stop Loss option which is good if the price moves in the favourable direction.
6. All quantity will get executed since it is a market order during exit.
7. Bracket Orders also protect one from any technical glitches of the brokerage.
8. Bracket Orders make sure that profit or loss lies between two limits of an acceptable profit and bearable loss that you set.
9. A loss is covered as there is a compulsory stop loss.
10. The best feature about Bracket Order is that a trader can put the orders and be rest assured that either the Target Order gets executed and gives him profit or the stop loss gets executed and the trade would be executed at a loss. There is no need to monitor the screen for booking a loss or profit.
{Cons:
• Limit orders are not possible during exit.
• Executed exit price will be market price and can slightly move up or down and form a slippage from your assumption.
• Entry through Stop Loss trigger is not allowed so one has to submit the bracket
• Order cancellation is not possible, one needs to close their position once they have entered.
• Need to be logged in while target order executes as compared to a cover order.
• Becomes a little tough to modify a bracket order after it’s placed.
But considering how the markets go so volatile, brackets still seem like the most sensible strategy to protect your investments and still make some money.
