TRAILING STOPLOSS(SINGLE MOVING AVERAGE)
In this kind of exit we take a single moving average like 20 MA/EMA,50 MA/DMA. We wait till the price cuts the moving average decisive

TRAILING STOPLOSS(FIXED %)
This exit is based on predefined percentage for example 5% is our SL
We buy a stock at 100.
5% SL.
So initial SL is 95.
Price moves to 105,SL is moved to 100
Price moves to 110,SL is moved to 105.

TRAILING STOPLOSS(LAST SWING LOW METHOD )
In this kind of EXIT we identify last SWING LOW and put the SL below it.If TREND is strong last swing low is not breached and it goes on to make a new higher low and SL is shifted below new SWING LOW
Chart of TINPLATE is a good example

EXIT/ENTRY based on MOVING AVERAGE CROSSOVER.
We can enter/exit a trade when a two or more moving average crossover.Example crossover of 20 EMA and 60 DMA on the downside as EXIT & vice versa al ENTRY

EXITING PARABOLIC MOVES
Parabolic moves are never sustainable and reverse anytime. If catch the right trend of a parabolic move we want to squeeze maximum profit out of the move without giving away any gains.
There are two ways to exit
1)Keeping last candle low as SL

TRENDLINE EXIT
This is one of the most followed way to exit a trade.Price breaking a predefined TRENDLINE is clear indication of change of trend.For confirmation break of TRENDLINE should be followed by VOLUMES and after the complete close of the candle below the TRENDLINE

SUDDEN NEWS or EVENTS
In case of sudden news that you may judge is going to impact a stock price like news of fraud, an allegation of wrongdoing against management.For safety if we are aware of a event before hand like quarterly results or court hearing we can exit or the trade.

SIDEWAYS MOVEMENT/STAGNANT PRICE
Another important reason to exit a trade can be sideways movement of a stock or stocking moving within a range. As a trader we lose opportunity if stock does not move for a period.The capital can be deployed else where.

TIME BASED STOPLOSS
This kind of SL is used mainly when price is neither moving towards TARGET nor STOPLOSS. So we predefine a time period and exit the trade.Some senior traders start tightening their SL with passing of time and squeeze themselves out of the trade
