Hi
To calculate the target, stop loss and for entry & exit level or points, I will suggest you to get acquainted with Fibonacci retracement and extension & different types of Pivot point levels. (I hope being a trader you must have idea about all these)
I will suggest you to follow both the way of trading because the combination of these two way of trading will help you to grow your asset very well........... So if you totally rely on technical then always go for intraday trading as it will be very helpful. And for swing trading, apart from technical analysis you need to have some grip on fundamental studies & news because as per me in the market only one factor can make technical studies wrong is the Fundamental factors only.
Being a Technical Trader, I take my decision for intraday trade on the basis of the combined analysis of technical studies + Candle stick patterns + support & resistance level on the basis of Fibonacci analysis. I follow selected indicator for my Intraday trading. Currently there are more than 280 types of technical indicators in the market and it will be very difficult to learn & track all of these indicators. So I will suggest you to learn few of them which will make you comfortable to use it. Currently Im using Directional Movement, MACD, RSI, Price Oscillator& Stochastic. Apart from this Candle stick patterns also help a lot in decision making specially if it is at support or resistance level.
The important part is that I follow my risk management very strictly.
As I already mention that I Use Spread strategy for trading. For intraday trading I use this strategy on Silver and for swing I use it on Crude Oil, Lead, Zinc & Aluminium & Gold.
You mentioned that you only trade during evening session only. So as a friend I will suggest you to go for spread trading it will be very helpful for the trader like you.
