# Bully Bear AI — Expert Advisor Description (v2.40)
## Overview
**Bully Bear AI** is a fully automated MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor built around **Bollinger Bands pullbacks in a confirmed trend**, with optional hammer/strong-candle confirmation. It is designed for **H1 major FX pairs**, with higher-timeframe (H4) bias filtering, ATR-based risk, breakeven, trailing stop, and optional partial take-profit.
Core idea:
1. Trade only when trend strength is present (ADX + MA alignment).
2. Enter on a **pullback toward the Bollinger middle** in the trend direction (not at the extreme outer band).
3. Confirm with RSI range and a directional candle (and optional strong/hammer bar).
4. Align with **H4 MA** so H1 trades are not taken against the larger trend.
5. Manage risk with fixed fractional risk, ATR stop, 3R target, trailing, and optional partial TP.

## Strategy logic (summary)
| Stage | Rule |
|--------|------|
| **Trend** | Fast MA > Slow MA and rising (buys), or opposite (sells); price on the correct side of Fast MA |
| **H4 bias** | Price above H4 MA(50) for buys; below for sells |
| **Volatility** | Bollinger width ≥ `MinBBWidthATR` × ATR; ADX ≥ `MinADX` |
| **Entry zone** | Price between BB middle and ~70% of the way to the outer band |
| **Momentum** | RSI in a moderate band (not extreme); prior bar is a pullback, current bar continues with trend |
| **Risk** | Lot size from `% risk` and SL distance; SL = `SL_ATR_Mult` × ATR; TP = `TP_RR` × SL |
| **Management** | Breakeven, ATR trailing, optional 50% partial at 1.2R |
Trades are evaluated **once per new bar** (not every tick). Open positions are managed every tick for BE / trail / partial.

## Recommended pairs & timeframe
| Priority | Symbol | Timeframe | Notes |
|----------|--------|-----------|--------|
| **Primary** | **GBPUSD** (or GBPUSDm) | **H1** | Best backtest result on 2025–2026 sample (~break-even to slight profit) |
| Secondary | EURUSD (or EURUSDm) | H1 | Near break-even; usable with defaults |
| Cautious | USDJPY (or USDJPYm) | H1 | Weaker on the same sample; use only after your own forward test |
| Optional | Same majors | H4 | Fewer trades; can be cleaner for EUR/JPY |
**Not recommended as primary:** crypto (e.g. BTCUSDm), low-liquidity crosses, or M1–M15 with these defaults (filters were tuned for H1 majors).
**Broker:** Works with standard and “m” (micro) suffixes. Keep `MaxSpreadPoints` realistic for your symbol (default 100).

## Risk & usage notes
- Default risk is **0.4% per trade**, one position max — conservative for H1.
- Always confirm **Journal** shows `Bully Bear AI v2.40` after compile.
- Backtests on one period are not a guarantee of future results; forward-test on demo before live.
- Best practical deployment from current testing: **GBPUSDm H1** with defaults; treat EUR/JPY as secondary after your own validation.
