Execution Checklist
- Wait for price to interact with 8.547 - 8.690 before considering execution.
- Size risk so a full stop at 8.830 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.
