xauusd alert..sell target 2880

1 329
The trade setup me provided contains a contradiction: selling gold at *2913* with a target at *2980* (higher than the entry) conflicts with the bearish (sell) direction. Let’s break this down:

---

### Key Issues to Address:
1. *Third Target (2980)*:
This is *67 points above the entry price (2913), which is illogical for a sell trade. This is likely a **typo* (e.g., intended *2880* instead of 2980).
- If *2880*, the trade aligns with a bearish outlook.
- If *2980, this would require a **buy trade*, not a sell.

2. *Stop Loss (2918)*:
Very tight (5 points above entry), which is risky in volatile markets like gold. A small spike could trigger the stop loss.

---

### Assumed Corrected Trade (Target 2880):
| Entry | Stop Loss | Target 1 | Target 2 | Target 3 |
|---------|-----------|----------|----------|----------|
| *2913* | *2918* | *2900* | *2890* | *2880* |

#### Risk-Reward Analysis:
- *Risk*: 5 points (2918 – 2913).
- *Reward*: 33 points (2913 – 2880).
- *Risk-Reward Ratio: **1:6.6* (very aggressive but favorable if the market moves as anticipated).

---

### Recommendations:
1. *Confirm Targets: Ensure the third target is **2880* (not 2980) for a sell trade.
2. *Adjust Stop Loss*: A 5-point stop loss is extremely tight. Consider widening it to avoid being stopped out by normal volatility.
3. *Scale Out Profits*: Close partial positions at each target (e.g., 30% at 2900, 30% at 2890, 40% at 2880).
4. *Market Context*: Gold is sensitive to macroeconomic data (e.g., Fed policy, inflation). Align this trade with broader trends or news catalysts.

### Example Trade Plan (Corrected):
- *Direction*: Sell
- *Entry*: 2913
- *Stop Loss*: 2918 (50 points risk)
- *Targets*:
- 2900 (-130 points)
- 2890 (-230 points)
- 2880 (-330 points)
