One third of the trade closes at each target, and the stop moves to the entry after target 1.
XAU/USD has rebounded from its daily low of 4035.77 to test the previous day's low at 4057.74, which now acts as intraday resistance. We look to fade this 5-minute pullback in alignment with the daily downtrend. A limit sell near 4057.70 provides a tight risk profile. The stop is placed at 4066.00, beyond the 03:00 UTC swing high of 4065.96. The initial target is the S1 support at 4048.77, with lower targets near the session lows. This setup aims to close well before today's high-impact US NFP release.

Every hour of the London and New York sessions, ForexR AI reads 5-minute, 15-minute and 1-hour bars with the same facts pack the analysis desk uses and proposes at most one quick trade per instrument (orders wait up to an hour, trades last up to three hours), or none. Code checks every level against the 5-minute ATR before it is published; it stands aside when a high-impact release is due within 30 minutes.
The idea, explained: Forex scalping
The trade expected the previous day's low at 4057.74 to act as resistance during a pullback in the daily downtrend. Instead, price immediately surged through this level and triggered the stop loss.

The sell limit was filled at 4057.70 at 08:15 UTC. Price made virtually no progress in favour, managing a brief positive excursion of just 0.1 R. During the very same 5-minute bar that opened at 08:15 UTC, the market rallied to a high of 4066.53, hitting the stop loss at 4066.00 and closing the trade for a full loss at 08:18 UTC.
The hypothesis that 4057.74 would provide intraday resistance was instantly disproved. Bullish momentum carried price straight through the entry level and beyond the 03:00 UTC swing high at 4065.96 that anchored the stop.
Lesson: No clear lesson: the setup was valid and the stop was hit by normal volatility.
