Entry:
Entry Price: $2,491.50
Rationale: The price has broken above a significant resistance level at $2,490. This breakout level often acts as a point of confluence, indicating potential support on a retracement, especially since it aligns with recent fractals on the 1H chart.

Stop Loss:

Stop Loss Level: $2,480.00
Rationale: This stop loss is placed just below the significant level of $2,485, where a retracement could be expected if the breakout fails. Setting the stop loss here minimizes risk while allowing the trade room to breathe. You would be risking $11.50 per ounce, which is within your risk tolerance.


Take Profit (Target):

Target Price: $2,520.00
Rationale: The target price is set at $2,520, where there’s likely to be higher liquidity and potential resistance. This gives you a reward-to-risk ratio of approximately 2.5.


Trailing Stop Adjustment:

Adjust Stop Loss: Adjust the stop loss to $2,500.00 if the price reaches $2,510. This helps lock in profits as the trade moves in your favor while protecting against sudden reversals.

Consideration:
Market Context: The overall trend in the daily chart is bullish, and with the fractal pattern forming a higher low on the 1H chart, the probability of the price continuing upward is strong.

Execution:
Order Type: Use a Buy Limit Order to enter at $2,491.50.
