Place Price Targets On Your Chart

 

Price Targets Facilitate Trading Success

Every trader has his or her own style of trading. For most daytraders, the question is where and when to place a trade and in what direction. Place price targets on your chart will facilitate trading success. Market prices are determined by the collective opinion of all traders who are participating in the market. Each trader’s opinion is based on their trading style and the tools that he or she uses to form those opinions. Almost every trader uses candlestick patterns to view price action. Also, almost every trader uses indicators to assist in their assessment of where the market is going and if the time is right to place a trade. In addition to these basic tools, I suggest also using targets to determine where prices are headed in the immediate future. The fact is that the market does have targets that it frequently reaches. These targets can be a powerful tool to assist in where when and what direction to place a trade. The daily trading zone is one of those tools and traders who use it are far better prepared to place better informed trades that work to their advantage and lead to profit.
