Entry and Exit Confessions of a Champion Trader: 52 Ways a Professional Speculator Gets In and Out of the Stock, Futures and Forex Markets

Good trading systems depend on two crucial decisions: when to enter and when to get out. In Entry and Exit Confessions of a Champion Trader, Kevin J. Davey brings together 52 approaches to those decisions for readers interested in stock, futures, and forex markets.

52 approaches, organized around the trade

The book separates its ideas into 41 entries and 11 exits, then adds two bonus entry strategies. That structure lets readers focus on one side of a system at a time—or consider how different entry and exit rules might work together.

Explore different entry signals

The entry chapters range from breakout methods and day-of-week patterns to moving-average crosses, RSI triggers, Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, and price-pattern approaches. The variety makes this a useful collection for comparing how different kinds of signals frame a potential trade.

Give exits their due

Exits receive their own dedicated section, with approaches that include timed exits, date- and time-based rules, percentile exits, profit protection, and tiered exits. The focus is practical: a strategy’s entry is only one part of the decision-making.

For systematic traders and strategy builders

Readers developing or studying rule-based approaches can use the book’s organized set of examples as material for further investigation. Davey’s disclaimer is clear that the book is educational, not investment advice, and that past or simulated performance cannot guarantee future results. As with any trading method, careful independent testing and attention to risk matter.

Study the rules, test the ideas

With its broad mix of entry signals and exit rules, this book offers systematic-trading readers a structured way to examine the mechanics behind getting into—and out of—a trade.
