How to Analyze/Interpret The Market To Know Where to Take Profit
Before learning about the various gold take profit indicators available in the market and on the MT4 platform, gold traders need to learn about overbought & over-sold levels.
Traders use overbought and oversold levels as profit targets in gold trading. This kind of analysis helps decide when to close your open positions.
Overbought Level - When the stats on things like RSI and Stochastic Oscillator show that the price is above 80, we say it's overbought. A trader will end their active buy trades when the indicator gets into this overbought area. They won't shut the position right away as soon as the indicator goes over 80: instead, they will wait until it drops back below that number.
Over-sold Level - Oversold levels in gold trading is when price is below the 20 mark for indicators such as RSI & Stochastic Oscillator. A trader will close open sell trades once the technical indicator is in the over-sold region. The trader will not close the open position immediately after the technical indicator is oversold but when the indicator leaves this oversold level and moves & heads back above the 20 mark.
