Are There Any Specific Key Factors or Market Conditions That Determine When to Use Measured Moves?

I use measured move targets if I don’t have another version of a target. For example, in a trade rotation zone like this, if I had some price action here that contradicted the measured move target, I would use this price action because recent price action is more important than past price action.

Consider these as common pitfalls or mistakes related to measured moves. Process these factors before you enter the trade. The common mistake is saying, "Well, it's reached 3750. I'm already up two and a half percent. I'm just going to cover it." That's the most common mistake. The beautiful thing about measured moves is you don't have to overthink. You just measure them.

How did you get your target? It's a measured move target. What does that mean? It means it takes all of the emotion out of finding a target.
