Trading strategies have two important components, the entry and the exit. For the most part, much has been said about entry strategies, and it is very important that we understand when to open a trade based on a strategy. Of course, we would not want to take trades that are low probability.

However, most traders tend to forget about the second part of trading, which is equally important, the exit. Without this, it is unlikely that we could get the most out of a trade setup.

There are many profitable strategies that are hinged around being able to make as much profits from winning trades as much as possible. One type of strategy that requires this is a moving average crossover strategy.

The entry isn’t the focal point of this strategy. In fact, you could use any strategy that allows you to catch big moves. For this strategy though, we will be using a crossover of the 5-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) over a 200-period EMA.
