Setting Price Targets
Hullo again FTSE Beater.
A coupe of days ago, you suggested we have a look at setting some price targets. As you know (I think) that I’m pretty new to this, then be please gentle ;-)
If I’ve followed your instructions correctly, here’s the chart
Subject : Amvescap
My 'trade' should begin with how much I can lose:-
Stop Loss first : 240p
And now on the upside...
Short Term target :330p
R/R 1.25
Medium Term target : 375p
R/R 2.4
Longer Term target : 435p
R/R 3.9
The targets are ‘round’ numbers, based on support and resistance only (I’m still reading about secondary indicators at the moment) and have been picked on examination previous levels of S/R (in last 6 months).
Time scales – finding this a tricky one. With a prevailing wind, it looks like the Longer Term target of 435p could be met in 6 weeks.
If the share began to rise, would you advocate a rising stop loss, locking in / keeping constant the R/R e.g. say aim for 375p, keep moving stop loss up to maintain R/R of 2.4?
Cheers and look forward to where I’ve gone wrong !
