A complete signal contains the direction (buy or sell), an entry level or zone, a stop loss and one or more take profit levels, followed by updates such as moving the stop to entry after the first target is hit.

Gold can move several dollars in seconds during news. Always use a stop loss, size positions so one loss is a small part of your account, and be careful with leverage around major US economic releases.
