The 1 rule that changed how I exit every trade

You don’t just enter a trade and that’s it.

The truth is…

Most traders obsess over entries.

The “perfect” candle. The signal. The setup.

Let’s be real now…

What kills your PnL more often?

It’s not bad entries. 

It’s terrible exits.

I’ve been in your shoes:

→ You get out too early and leave money on the table.

→ You freeze the second the trade turns red and say, “Fk it. If it comes back, it does. If not, I’ll just lose it all.”**

→ You start to blame the person staring back at you in the mirror.

​​That’s when it stops being about money and starts messing with your self-belief.

Let me save you from digging your own grave.

Here’s the 3-step exit filter I use:

🎯 1. Plan the exit before the entry:

This sounds simple, but it’s the most ignored rule in trading.

Before I enter, I know two things:

•Where I’ll scale out (first profit target)

•Where I’ll kill the trade (hard stop)

Why? Because when you’re in the climax of the trade, your emotions lie to you.

Planning in advance keeps your execution clean and conviction strong.

🎯 2. Use price levels, not feelings:

Exits should never be based on hope.

Instead, I mark:

•Prior highs and lows
•Key supply/demand zones
•VWAP or anchored support levels

If price nears a level and volume stalls, that’s a clean exit zone.

I don’t argue with structure—I respect it.

🎯 3. Scale out. Don’t guess out:

This is the secret sauce.

I exit in pieces, not all at once.

The first 30–50% off the table locks in profit.

Then I let the rest ride with a trailing stop—or exit at the next level.

This keeps my winners running and my losers from turning toxic.

This system is not magic:

It’s clean. It’s simple. It works

So the next time you’re tempted to wing it…

Pull this out, run it, and build your own version of it.

This is how profitable traders are built:

Take a system. Implement it. Personalize it.

You got this.

I’m rooting for you.

Until next time,

Nicholas.
