Hi all... I am reletively new to share trading and have been going along in theory for a while, now that i have real money invested the hardest part seems to be deciding when to get out. While this is a good problem to have, here is the situation. Bought some CFD's that are returning good profits but going in i had an idea as to when i was going to get out of 50% of my holding and when the sell the rest (using technical analysis). Now that i am close to that level i am second guessing myself and thinking of holding on for a while longer, the risk being that i lose some profits if the share turns. I know that a trailing stop-loss seems to be the preffered system, but with geared instruments (like CFD's) in order to maintain some profits you must set the trail to a very small percentage otherwise you will lose all of your profits (5% trail = +-30% profit). What exit strategies are all of you using with geared instruments, and how have they worked out for you? Werner
