How to Interpret The Market To Know Where to Take Profit

Prior to delving into the various tools for identifying 'take profit' points available in the marketplace and within the MetaTrader 4 software, traders must first grasp the concepts of overbought and oversold conditions.

Overbought and oversold zones help set profit targets and close trades. They guide when to end positions based on market reads.

Overbought happens when an indicator like RSI or Stochastic goes above 80. At that point, close your long positions. Do not exit right away when it hits overbought. Wait until it drops back below 80.

Oversold Level - XAUUSD is considered oversold when its price goes lower than the 20 level on indicators like RSI and Stochastics Oscillator. A person will end their active sell trade when the indicator shows that it is in the oversold area. The trader will wait to end the active position, not right when the technical indicator is oversold, but after the indicator leaves the oversold area and starts moving back above the 20 level.
