How to read a gold signal ticket
Read a gold ticket in this order: side, symbol, invalidation, session, then target. If the symbol is not XAUUSD, it is outside this site. If the invalidation is missing, the ticket is a slogan. Example cards here say 'not a live price' on purpose.

The CFTC's public education pages describe how trading-signal pitches go wrong. A ticket that arrives with a broker login form is a different product from a ticket you can read and then ignore.
Questions
Should I copy the example numbers?
No. There are no example prices to copy. The cards show the fields a live ticket would need, and they stop there.
