A Question About Risk

* Bob Iaccino is a chief market strategist and co-founder of Path Trading Partners. He joins us live every Thursday from 11am ET, as our Risk Management educator.

Why Should Traders Have a Plan for Their Target?

A target is a point where action is required, not optional. You must take action at your target, especially if it’s a measured move target, because you identified that target well before you entered the trade. Therefore, that target is important. The only time you can think clearly about a trade is before you're in it.

A common mistake many traders make is when they see the price approaching the target, they think, "Oh, I'm almost at my target," and feel relieved. But then the day closes, and the next day the market opens lower—remember, this green area is the open, and the bottom of this candle is the open. Suddenly, you're thinking, "Oh my God, I'm going to make a fortune on this trade."

In that excitement, you might prematurely exit your trade or fail to adjust your stop. You don't tighten your trailing stop, or you hesitate to reduce your stop loss because you don’t want to get stopped out. This behavior is careless and could cost you profits.
