Position management<br />
In my opinion, the best place to quit your position early is exactly at the entry level (at Breakeven)<br />
because the level usually works as a support/resistance zone.<br />
If the price doesn‘t respect the level, goes past it and the level starts to work as a resistance zone<br />
(when you are short) or as a support (when you are long), then it is a good idea to get out at BE<br />
and look for the next setup. It is essential to get out exactly at BE. Usually, the reactions to the<br />
volume-based levels are really precise so being greedy and not quitting the trade at BE would just<br />
cause you to lose an opportunity to get out of a bad trade.<br />
Also, such opportunities (to get out at BE), in my experience, don't last long. In fact, they usually<br />
take only a few seconds or minutes. For this reason, it is best not to try to quit the position<br />
manually, but to move your Profit Target order at the BE level so it gets triggered automatically.<br />
Whether you will manage your positions this way or not is optional and solely up to you. It is not<br />
a bad method but sometimes being patient with your position pays off more than trying to get<br />
out of every second trade you enter. I was personally using this method few years but then I<br />
decided I would simplify my trading. So, I stopped getting out of trades at BE and in most cases, I<br />
hold my positions until the end no matter what happens.<br />
