2 for 1 strategy

The 2 for 1 strategy is a method in the field of technical analysis that aims to limit losses and lock in profits.

The 2 for 1 strategy means that you should always buy at least 2 trading lots, a trading lot is the minimum number shares which are traded in a stock. The 2 for 1 strategy means that we put a stop-loss level at X amount of dollars down from the current share price. If the stock price goes down to our stop-loss level, we sell all of our trading lots, if the stock price goes up by X dollars from the purchase price, we sell half of our position and continuously move up our stop-loss level with X dollars for every X dollars that the stock price rises.
