## 3. AI MODES EXPLAINED
### MODE_INTERNAL (Recommended to Start)
**How It Works:**
The Internal AI Engine uses a sophisticated weighted scoring system. Seven technical indicators each contribute a score from -100 (bearish) to +100 (bullish). These scores are weighted based on your chosen personality, then combined to produce a final decision.
**Calculation Example:**
```
RSI Score: +60 (bullish)
MA Score: +70 (strong uptrend)
MACD Score: +50 (bullish momentum)
BB Score: -30 (near lower band)
Price Action: +40 (bullish candles)
ADX Score: +60 (strong trend)
Stochastic: +45 (bullish)
Weighted Total = (60×1.0) + (70×1.0) + (50×1.0) +
(-30×1.0) + (40×1.0) + (60×1.0) + (45×1.0)
= 295 / 7 = 42.1
Result: Score > 30 = BUY signal
```
**Advantages:**
- Zero cost (no API fees)
- Instant decisions (no network delay)
- Works offline
- Fully transparent logic
- Highly customizable
**Best For:**
- Learning how AI trading works
- Backtesting strategies
- Live trading on a budget
- Stable, predictable performance
### MODE_CLAUDE (Anthropic AI)
**How It Works:**
Sends comprehensive market data to Claude Sonnet 4, which analyzes patterns using advanced natural language understanding and pattern recognition. Claude provides both a decision (BUY/SELL/HOLD/CLOSE) and human-readable reasoning.
**What Claude Analyzes:**
- Recent candlestick patterns
- Technical indicator values and trends
- Cross-indicator correlations
- Market context and regime
- Historical pattern similarities
**Cost:** ~$3 per 1000 decisions (approximately $0.003 per decision)
**Advantages:**
- Advanced pattern recognition

- Natural language reasoning
- Continuous learning from training data
**Best For:**
- Complex market conditions

### MODE_CHATGPT (OpenAI)
**How It Works:**
Similar to Claude mode but uses OpenAI's GPT models. You can choose between GPT-4o (most advanced), GPT-4 Turbo (balanced), or GPT-3.5 Turbo (economical).
**Model Comparison:**
**GPT-4o** (~$2.50 per 1000 decisions)
- Latest and most capable
- Best pattern recognition
- Highest quality decisions
- Recommended for live trading
**GPT-4 Turbo** (~$1.00 per 1000 decisions)
- Fast and capable
- Good balance of cost/performance
- Suitable for active trading
**GPT-3.5 Turbo** (~$0.20 per 1000 decisions)
- Most economical
- Good for testing
- Higher frequency strategies
**Best For:**
- Flexible cost/performance options
- High-frequency decision-making (GPT-3.5)
- Latest AI capabilities (GPT-4o)
### Comparing the Three Modes
| Feature | Internal AI | Claude | ChatGPT |
|---------|------------|--------|---------|
| Cost | Free | ~$3/1000 | ~$0.20-2.50/1000 |
| Speed | Instant | 1-3 sec | 1-3 sec |
| Offline | Yes | No | No |
| Customizable | High | Low | Low |
| Pattern Recognition | Good | Excellent | Excellent |
| Reasoning Quality | Clear | Natural | Natural |
| Backtesting | Perfect | Limited | Limited |
**Recommendation:** Start with Internal AI for 2-4 weeks, then test API modes if desired.

## 9. BEST PRACTICES
### Risk Management
**1. Position Sizing**
- Never risk more than 1-2% per trade
- Calculate: Lot Size = (Account × Risk%) / (SL Pips × Pip Value)
- Start small, scale up gradually
**2. Stop Loss**
- Always use stop loss
- Minimum 30 pips for forex majors
- Increase for volatile pairs
- Let EA manage, don't modify manually
**3. Diversification**
- Don't run EA on highly correlated pairs
- Max 3-5 pairs simultaneously
- Use different magic numbers
**4. Leverage**
- Keep leverage reasonable (1:100 or lower)
- Higher leverage = higher risk
- Consider broker's margin requirements
### Money Management
**Account Growth Strategy:**
```
$100-500: Lot 0.01, CONSERVATIVE
$500-2000: Lot 0.02-0.05, BALANCED
$2000-10000: Lot 0.05-0.20, BALANCED/AGGRESSIVE
$10000+: Scale proportionally
```
**Drawdown Management:**
- If drawdown > 10%: Review settings
- If drawdown > 15%: Reduce lot size
- If drawdown > 20%: Stop and analyze
### Testing Protocol
