RR: 1:2 to 1:5

📋 Today's Trade Execution Steps
- Check price first:
- If price rises to $4,564+ → prep Setup B (Sell)
- If price drops to $4,496- → prep Setup A (short-term Buy)
- Look for confirmation — Pin bar / Engulfing / Rejection at zone edge
- Set Buy/Sell Limit mid-zone + place SL immediately
- Split TP into 2-3 parts (40/60 or 30/40/30) to lock profits
- Move SL to Break-even when price hits TP1
- Don't fight the market — if price runs mid-range without entering zone, don't trade
💡 Today's Plan Summary
"Price is still in range · Wait for price to enter zone before entering · Pulls back to blue zone $4,496-$4,472, there's a short-term BUY opportunity · Bounces up to red zone $4,564 and above, then sell at resistance · Trade by zone, don't fight the market"
📌 Reading Chart Zones — Simple Guide
Our analysis uses the Supply & Demand system — looking for spots where price previously had strong buying or selling pressure · Then wait for price to return and retest those zones
Red Lines = Sell Zone
Resistance — Where price was previously sold off · When price returns = Sell opportunity
Place SL: Above zone (if broken = plan invalid)
Blue Lines = Buy Zone
Support — Where price had previous buying pressure · When price pulls back = Buy opportunity
Place SL: Below zone (if broken = plan invalid)
