## ⚠️ 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
