medium · Volume Profile Analysis trading-strategies
An intraday trader enters a long position at $1.2650 with a target of $1.2690. A review of the last 10 sessions shows a 'Naked POC' at $1.2683.
Based on the concept of 'naked POC decay' and magnetic pull, what is the most disciplined target adjustment?
- Extend the full target to $1.2700 since the naked POC will likely be 'blown through' by momentum.
- Keep the target at $1.2690 because naked POCs older than 3 days lose all gravitational influence.
- Move the stop-loss to $1.2680 to protect profits as price approaches the POC.
- Book 50% of the position at $1.2683 and move the stop to break-even.
