⚠️ 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
