Structural Exits, Time Exits, and Moving Stops
Decisions, Execution & Validation
Lesson / WY-06-29
A structural exit occurs when price breaks the predefined local trade structure. It may execute automatically via a stop or manually after a completed bar confirms a breach and acceptance. The first reacts quickly but is more vulnerable to wicks and ticks; the second waits for information but may increase loss. Predefine intraday touch, closing confirmation, or sustained presence and the exit order type; do not choose whichever interpretation best suits the result after execution.
