## ⚠️ Important Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Confluence EA
|
||||
1. **Current Issue**: Only taking LONG trades - need to verify short signals
|
||||
2. **Best Pairs**: JPY pairs, USD pairs (clear trends)
|
||||
3. **Avoid**: Exotic pairs, low liquidity times
|
||||
|
||||
### Grid EA
|
||||
1. **Best For**: Ranging markets, Asian session
|
||||
2. **Avoid**: Trending markets, high-impact news
|
||||
3. **Risk**: Can accumulate many positions during strong trends
