📚 Strategy Logic

Core Philosophy:
This strategy follows the principle that consistent, properly-managed trades with positive expectancy will compound over time. It doesn't try to catch every move or avoid every loss - instead, it focuses on:

1. Quality Setups: Multiple confirmations reduce false signals
2. Proper Position Sizing: 1% risk ensures survivability
3. Asymmetric Risk/Reward: Average wins exceed average losses
4. Scaling Out: Partial profits reduce stress and lock in gains
5. Trailing Stops: Capture extended trends without guessing tops/bottoms

Not Included:
- No martingale or position averaging
- No grid trading or pyramiding
- No reversal trades (clean exit only)
- No look-ahead bias or repainting
- No complicated formulas or curve-fitting

🎯 Performance Tips

1. Let the System Work: Don't override exits or entries manually
2. Respect the Risk: Keep risk at 1% per trade maximum
3. Monitor Equity Curve: Smooth upward = good, choppy = adjust filters
4. Adapt to Conditions: Use conservative settings in uncertain markets
5. Track Statistics: Keep a journal of trades and performance
6. Stay Disciplined: The strategy's edge comes from consistency
7. Update Periodically: Review and adjust filters monthly
