I might be able to help you solve this 'exit' problem.

you have to learn to exit like a institutional trader. What they generally do is exit @ 1:1 or 1:2 depending on trend or range conditions.

Don't try to guess where price will go and exit. Simply set 1:1 or 1:2. The reason for this is the traders equation. Google it and learn to use the traders equation and your should find it easier to exit.

Most people get greedy and think price will trend or they will hope that price will go in their favor 'just a little more' , only to see it turn around and take their stops.

you need good discipline to exit, which most people simply don't have.
I think this is also mentioned somewhere in one of the Al Brooks books. No matter where the market goes, one is a winner as long as he/she meets their rule defined target.
