1.       Exiting winners too early.  Exiting a profit early is tempting, especially if you have been on an unlucky streak.  If you buy a stock at $30 with a target of $36 you cannot sell when the stock goes to $33.  The major reason this can be hard is knowing that a wining position can turn around.  It is natural to want to get out before that, but a strong position can also stay strong. Remember letting your winners ride will go a long way.

Swing Trading - Bouncing Between Bollinger Bands

February 10th, 2008 by admin

One useful tool in our trading toolbox is the Bollinger Band. Bollinger bands are upper and lower trading bands plotted at standard deviation levels above and below a moving average. Selecting a +2 standard deviation for the upper band and a -2 standard deviation for the lower band would mean, according to statistical theory, that 95% of all price observations would reside within these bands. 68% of all price observations would fall between these bands if a +1 standard deviation and a -1 standard deviation were used.
