## ⚙️ How Valhalla Works

### Three Entry Methods
1. **Bar-Close** — Enters on a confirmed closed candle with multi-condition EMA alignment and candle structure validation (body size, range, wick ratio, prior bar breakout).
2. **Momentum Retrace** — Identifies strong impulse moves then waits for a shallow pullback (≤55%) before entering in the direction of the original momentum.
3. **Range Break** — Detects tight micro-consolidations and trades the breakout when it aligns with the higher timeframe trend.

### Signal Quality Engine
Every entry must pass a **minimum conditions filter** — at least 3 out of 5 technical conditions must align simultaneously. This eliminates noise and keeps trade frequency at a manageable, high-quality level.

### H1 Trend Filter
All entries are filtered through a **50-period EMA on the H1 chart** — trades are only taken in the direction of the higher timeframe bias, dramatically improving the quality of each signal.

## 🛡️ Risk Management — Built to Survive

- **Fixed % risk per trade** — position size is calculated automatically based on your account balance and exact SL distance
- **Minimum 2.0 R:R ratio** — every trade must offer at least twice the reward vs risk before entry is allowed
- **Break-Even** — SL moves to entry + buffer once the trade reaches 0.7R in profit
- **Partial Close** — 40% of position is closed at 1.8R to lock in profit
- **Trailing Stop** — activates at 1.0R with a 60-point trail distance to ride extended moves
- **Pyramiding** — optional second position added at 0.8R for trend continuation
- **Daily Loss Limit** — trading halts automatically if daily loss reaches your defined % threshold
- **Consecutive Loss Pause** — automatic cooldown after 3 losses in a row
- **Friday Close** — all positions closed before weekend gap risk
- **Time Exit** — positions that haven't hit TP within 60 minutes are closed to avoid overnight risk
