How to Walk It
Entry / Stop / Target structure:
- Long 267.00 pullback | Stop 262.00 | Target 274.00 | R:R 2:1
- Long 274.00 breakout | Stop 271.17 | Target 279.00 | R:R 1.5:1

Experience-level guidance:
Beginner: Reduce size to half your standard. Trade only the cleanest setup from the entries above. If the tape opens against your bias, do nothing — wait for the second hour, when the institutional flow has tipped its hand.
Intermediate: Use the levels table to define the trading range. Fade the extremes with defined stops, take profits before the round-number resistance levels.
Advanced: The vol regime supports defined-risk structures around the key pivot levels. Keep notional small relative to your book — asymmetric speculation, not core positioning.
