⚠️ IMPORTANT: WHY YOU SHOULD FORWARD-TEST THIS EA ⚠️

Please be aware that MT4 Strategy Tester results will NOT reflect the true performance of Nova AI Gold Scalper. Because Nova AI is an institutional-grade algorithm, it relies heavily on live external data. Whereas the MT4 Strategy Tester backtesting operates offline and completely disables internet access (WebRequest).

If you run a historical backtest:

• 🧠 The AI Sentiment Engine is disabled (The EA cannot reach the API to read historical news sentiment).
• 📰 The Auto-News Filter is disabled (The EA cannot download historical ForexFactory calendars).
• 📉 Tick Data Limitations: MT4 uses simulated tick data, which is historically inaccurate for 1-minute VWAP scalping.

In the Strategy Tester, the EA is forced to use "dummy" data and trade blindly without its fundamental AI protections.

✅ THE SOLUTION: To see the true power of Nova AI, please Forward-Test it on a Live Demo Account for a few days. Ensure your URLs are whitelisted, and watch the HUD update as the AI reads the market and the bot safely navigates around red-folder news in real-time!
