Trading on "Instynct" (NQ)

Quote from jackson222:

You don't have any opinion which way and how far the market will go when taking a trade? How do you establish your targets? For example, you're long here 78.25, what's your target in this trade? When do you know to sell?

Target on this one is 87, im trailing my stop as we speak.

One tick above the HOD? If I may ask why a single tick? That's considerably optimistic isn't it; why not a tick below? If you miss and you probably will you'll give up many ticks before you realize it.

Wasn't trying to target exactly one tick above the high, just a general area i was shooting for. There are several possibilities that can unfold as price moves, my job is to position myself to prepare for those moves. I trail a stop based on what the price just did.
