How Are Measured Moves Used As Targets?


With measured moves, you don't have to guess. You measure the move out and say, "This is my target." A target is not necessarily where you exit a trade. A target is where an action is required. Whether that action is to cut, take off part of the trade, take off the whole trade, tighten your stop to break even, tighten it up to a smaller loss, or even add to it.

If you're a trend trader, many trend traders, when they have a winning trade, add to it because they take some of those winnings and double or triple the position. I don't do that. That approach assumes I can predict how far the move is going to go.

I use measured move targets as a high-probability place where I know the market may pause. It doesn't mean it's going to stop, but it may pause.
