targeted

'made it a goal' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'get trade moving' is the wordplay.
'moving' indicates an anagram.
'get'+'trade'='gettrade'
'gettrade' anagrammed gives 'TARGETED'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for targeted that I've seen before include "Selected as an object to aim at" , "Aimed at, or set as objective" , "Took aim at (8)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
