Targets put a ceiling on the exact thing you came here for. You showed up to this market because it produces enormous trends. And then your first instinct is to cap your upside at some arbitrary level you decided on before the move even started. You've kept all the chaos, but you've removed the payoff that justifies enduring all of it. The goal is staying in the trade as long as the trend is intact. Targets are fundamentally flawed when applied to a strategy whose edge depends on open-ended winners. With targets, you've chosen a game defined by asymmetry and then eliminated the asymmetry.
