Traders must rid themselves of such thoughts. Instead as the stock is climbing they should be planning their exit strategy Okay the stock is positive. I m either going to keep the stop at 215 8 or trail it to breakeven. I don t want to take a 3 8 loss on a failed breakout. I d rather take the flat trade. Maybe I ll use 2115 16 so that if 22 fails I take a small loss but my break of the 22 stop is confirmed. The idea is that traders have to have the exit strategy.

In the chart we again see a volume increase as well as the break of 221 2. At that moment holders of the stock began to consider exiting at least half their shares above the 221 2 level into strength. 223 4 is a good level to sell into strength on the price and volume increases line 2 . Holders would trail the stop to 221 2 as we broke over 23. The next few volume bars from the point at which we took half our shares began to fade. The slowing pace of buying with decreasing volume indicated that the top of this stage of movement was near. We now wanted to look for a price to exit our remaining shares. As the stock moved over the 231 2 level buying dried up considerably line 3 . We saw a drop in the bid to 231 2 and then .
