Exiting an uptrend

What's an optimal way of exiting an uptrend / upside breakout?

Most of the ride the stochastics, RSI etc are all overbought..

So how do you decide when to exit?

thanks

Trailing Exits. I use Hawkeye Trend+Stops b/c it flattens and gives the market space when the trend pauses.. Something like Parabolic will keep trailing tighter and exit during a normal correction (with most settings).

Alternatively, you can use targets based on swings and swing ratio analysis/fib projections or measured moves.

For intraday, you can look at the Average Daily Range (5), this can be projected from likely hi or lo at beginning of session and give you an idea of maximum reasonably expected range for the day. I suppose that could be extended or contracted to other time periods.

Loss of momentum
Price action signals (key support / Resistance levels . failed highs, lows)
Targets hit

Millions of reasons to call it a day ....mostly they work

think about splitting your trade into smaller pieces as well...adopting different Exit methods on each

hey NB...........what do you think of Hawkeye ?

I met Anna and David recently at the London Forex Expo...they seem very genuine ....I didnt bite as the Hawkeye is very aligned to my own strengthmeter style of trading already .............but it is much fancier !

i have the fatman and the trend+stops - it works most of the time. sometimes fatman falls out of sync, but usually its on point. I'd like to try their volume for FX indicator at some point soon. Combining what they do with what i do (patterns & multiple timeframes) is fantastic.. I wouldn't take every fatman signal, but in good context it rocks. Relative Strength gives both timing and direction (with pair selection in the case of Fatman)...and like i said the most distant trailing exit on the trend indicator (there's two of them far and barrier stops) is effective for holding trades

regardless of your settings, oscillators like RSI and stochastics can stay overbought or oversold for as long as they can whenever there is a trend. do keep that in mind

I don't think you read very well... that was my point.

i did not read very well because your second sentence was grammatically ambiguous

your question is open-ended, it does have several possible answers. see the first two replies
