🛠️ Troubleshooting

EA not opening trades:

Make sure EnableAutoTrading = true. Lower MinVolatility value. Set TradeMode to AGGRESSIVE. Check Session Filter.

Too many signals:

Set TradeMode = MODE_BALANCED. Increase MinVolatility value. Set UseStochastic = true.

Stop Loss too tight:

Set TPSLMode = MODE_SWING or MODE_FIB. Increase ManualStopLoss value.

Breakeven not working:

Make sure UseAggressiveManagement = true. Lower profit values (e.g. 2 → 1.5).
