How to find out the expected targets and what should be the exit criteria when you enter a trade - 🧵

Possible ways to find out the target:

Check if any patterns forming - it gets quite easy to figure out the targets that way. (1/15)

Let's say cup and handle. Our first target in this case will be the height of the handle and final target will be height of the whole cup. It's the same with H&S. First target will be the height of the shoulder and final will be the height of the head. (2/15)

In triangles, the targets will be height of the whole triangle.

Sometimes, after hitting the first target.. stock starts consolidating or take a retest of the breakout. On some occasions, stock gives one sided move non-stop.. without any pullback. (3/15)

A lot depends on the stock behaviour too. If a particular Index gave a breakout, then too stock gives final target without pullback.

Also, if stock gives weekly breakout and market is trending during that time.. even then it gives a one sided move. (4/15)

Recently, we've seen many such stocks -- Kotak Bank, TataMotors, TataPower.

Other helpful thing I learned from @Traderknight007 about exit criteria is using volume expansion and DMA/EMA. I began using it and benefitted. This is recently observed in TCS, DLF & many others. (5/15)
