📋 Today's Trade Execution Steps
- Check price first:

- Set Buy/Sell Limit mid-zone + place SL immediately
- Split TP into 3 parts (30% + 40% + 30%) to lock profits
- Move SL to Break-even when price hits TP1
- Let remainder run to TP3 · use Trailing Stop
- Don't fight the market — if price runs mid-range without entering zone, don't trade
