Most of the patterns in these modules come with a built-in way to estimate a target: the measured move. The core idea is simple — measure the size of the move (or pattern) that preceded the breakout, and project that same distance from the breakout point.
How it works
For a flag or pennant, measure the pole's height and add it to the breakout level. For a rectangle, triangle, or head and shoulders, measure the pattern's height (top to bottom) and project it from the break. The logic is that the energy that produced the first move tends to produce a roughly equal second move once the pause resolves.
Use it as a guide, not a guarantee
Measured moves are probabilistic objectives, not promises — price often falls short of or overshoots them. Their real value is in planning: they let you set a realistic target before entering, judge whether a trade's reward justifies its risk, and decide where to take partial profit. A target that barely clears your stop distance is a trade not worth taking.
Combine with levels
The best targets are where a measured move lands near an independent level — a prior high/low, a round number, or a higher-timeframe zone. When the projection and a real level agree, the objective is far more credible than a number floating in space. As always: confluence over any single tool.
