Short-term trading based on technical indicators is a risky and skill oriented practice, which may result into huge losses or profits.
It is not advisable to trade a stock if it reaches the target price first and then comes within recommended range. Target prices are
just indicative based on the various technical parameters. Actual stock prices may come nearer or breach those levels. Always
follow stop losses to avoid larger losses.
