according to me...any pattern targets can not identify like this. you have to consider oscillators and price levels. but book wise pattern height is the target.

I only look at the target price based on the strongest time frame with a divergence and the level of the MACD.

It's implied that the oscillators are main tools to define the chart patterns. I have two questions : what do you mean with strongest time frame ? 1-2 weeks example or longer or shorter .. and the divergence is refer to the index or the stock ?

Hi Antonio,

I normally look at various timeframes to understand the type of foundation (strength) the chart has. Therefore, I can go as high as a monthly chart, and as low as a 1 minute chart. Since I use it for options trading I normally look for patterns in the higher time frames (monthly, weekly, daily) and then trade on the shorter time frames when they are moving in the same direction. The divergence is referring to the difference in the level of the MACD versus the PRICE for any chart. It can be SPY, FB, GOOD, FSLR, VXX. I never care what the ticker is (I only need to know that when it comes time to place an order). I simply just trade patterns.
