Trade Execution & Risk Warnings

Counter-Trend Warning: The higher timeframe (4H) trend is Bullish. Counter-trend scalps carry higher risk—keep position sizing strictly reduced (0.5% – 1% max risk).

Take Profit Rule: Do not hold past TP3 ($0.8100) as the overall 4H bullish structure is expected to react strongly from lower demand levels.

Stop-Loss Management: Shift SL to Breakeven ($1.0144) immediately upon securing TP1 ($0.9450).
