Execution Checklist
- Wait for price to interact with 5,236.52 - 5,271.72 before considering execution.
- Size risk so a full stop at 5,201.89 is acceptable for your account.
- Target one is mapped to roughly 1:1.4 reward-to-risk; partials should respect that structure.
- If structure breaks before entry, skip the trade and wait for a cleaner setup.
Session Range: 1.08%
Invalidation: If price closes below 5,201.89, the long thesis is invalid and risk should be reduced or closed.
Watchlist: XAUUSD around 5,236.52 - 5,271.72 with 24h change +1.21%; execute only on confirmation.
