Learn how to identify trading targets using higher timeframe candles for swing trading and day trading. I'll show you exactly how to set primary and intermediate targets using Candle Range Theory (CRT) so you never close too early or hold too long again.

What Are Trading Targets?

Trading targets are the price levels where you exit your trades. Most traders use arbitrary risk-reward ratios, round numbers, or just hope price keeps running. That's guessing. Real targets come from higher timeframe candle ranges—the highs and lows of liquidated monthly, two-week, and weekly candles. When you understand the relationship between these candle ranges, you always know where price is heading before you enter.

What You'll Learn:

✅ Why most traders struggle with targets (arbitrary R:R, round numbers, no exit plan)
✅ The core principle: price moves from liquidity pool to liquidity pool
✅ Primary targets: higher timeframe candle range extremes
✅ Intermediate targets: mid-timeframe candle highs and lows
✅ How to stack monthly, two-week, and weekly targets
✅ Live EUR/USD examples with multiple 2-5R trade setups
✅ When targets don't get hit and how to adapt
✅ Must-haves and common mistakes to avoid

The Framework:

Price ultimately moves from candle range to candle range. Your primary targets are the extremes of your higher timeframe candle ranges—if you're swing trading on 12-hour charts targeting monthly moves, your primary target is the high or low of the liquidated monthly candle. Your intermediate targets are the weekly and two-week candle extremes that sit between your entry and primary target. This gives you options: take profit at intermediate targets for conservative 2-3R trades, or hold for primary targets for 5-8R swing positions.

Live Examples:

EUR/USD Breakdown: Multiple trade opportunities using monthly, two-week, and weekly candle context. Shows how to identify liquidations, structure shifts, and internal range liquidity entries. Demonstrates 2.4R targeting monthly high, 1.2R to weekly target, 1.84R to two-week target, 2.37R conservative entries, 5.34R swing setups, and how to adapt when higher timeframe structure shifts.

Each example shows exact entry from order blocks or fair value gaps, stop loss placement covering structure, and clear exit plans at intermediate and primary targets.

How to Identify Targets:

Start with higher timeframe candle ranges (monthly, two-week, weekly for swing trading)
Identify which candle ranges have been liquidated (swept lows/highs)
Mark primary target: extreme of liquidated candle range
Mark intermediate targets: mid-timeframe candle extremes between entry and primary target
Wait for structure shift and entry from internal range liquidity
Execute with clear exit plan at intermediate or primary targets
Adapt if higher timeframe structure shifts

Must-Haves:

Clear view of higher timeframe candle ranges
Identified primary and intermediate targets before entry
Structure shift confirmation (liquidation + rejection)
Entry from internal range liquidity zones
Stop loss covering relevant swing points
Exit plan aligned with higher timeframe structure
Emotional control to hold through retracements

Common Mistakes:

Using arbitrary R:R targets without candle context
Aiming for targets that don't align with HTF structure
Changing targets mid-trade without confirmation
Ignoring structure shifts on higher timeframes
Holding for 5R+ when only 2R exists to primary target

Perfect For:

Swing traders using Candle Range Theory
Traders who close too early and miss big moves
Traders who hold too long and give back profits
Day traders needing HTF target framework
Forex and crypto swing traders
Those combining CRT with liquidity concepts

This is how I trade 32 forex pairs with minimal chart time—I identify my primary and intermediate targets from higher timeframe candles before I enter, so I always know where price is going and when to exit.
