; === Range Drift ===
; Daily pivot band only refreshes once per server day. Gold spent all of
; Jul 20-22 sitting above that stale band (no fresh buy-stop could be
; placed — no-trade-zone guard correctly refused one too close to price),
; so the sell-side-only grid kept getting cancelled/re-placed without a
; fill. Re-center intraday once price drifts ~1x hourly ATR from the
; band's midpoint so both sides stay reachable.

; === Session Notes ===
; Best BO events: FOMC decisions, NFP, geopolitical escalation, CPI surprises
; Gold trends very cleanly once ADX > 30
; ADXMax=30 set higher than other pairs — Gold needs confirmed trend before BO fires
; Avoid thin Asian overnight sessions for BO entry
