I believe brad almost always exits at 38.2% of CD, but I do not. Although brad and i use the same methodology in terms of pattern recognition, we do have different ways of interpreting patterns especially in determining stops and limits. In other words, we don’t consult on our individual trade recommendations, so in that sense we have slightly different and independent styles which still, however, fit within the general confines of pattern characteristics. I base my exits on several factors primarily based on the confluence of trend and pattern development/placement across multiple timeframes. Generally speaking, I more often use 38.2% as an initial risk management level where stops are moved to break even, for example, rather than a hard target. This may result in more break-even trades, but it opens the door for far more advantageous risk/reward ratios and by extension more profitable trading in the long run. In other words, my targets vary on a case by case basis.
