🧠 Logic of Operation
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Stop Loss | 🛡️ Adaptive — calculated via ATR based on the volatility of the specific currency pair. Higher volatility = wider stop; lower volatility = tighter stop. Bounded by MinStopPips / MaxStopPips . |
| Trailing Stop | 📈 Based on Parabolic SAR — trailing follows Parabolic reversals rather than a fixed distance. This dynamically locks in profit and avoids premature exit. |
