I've read this entire conversation and I think you and I trade in a similar manner. I react to immediate market conditions, placing trades based on those conditions. Those conditions being either long term or short term in nature. I set profit targets and look for exits around those target areas based on the original specific conditions. I set hard stops protecting each trade, just in case the conditions I reacted to immediately reverse against my trade.
