Gold Smart Scalper AI V2

1. The "Red Zone" (News Management)
The strategy logic does not "know" when the Federal Reserve is speaking.

Rule: Disable the strategy or stop taking signals 15 minutes before and after high-impact news (CPI, NFP, FOMC).

Why: During these times, Gold can move $30 in seconds. Slippage will cause your $1.50 Stop Loss to execute much further away, leading to massive drawdown.

2. Session Selection
Gold "Scalping" requires high liquidity and tight spreads.
Discretionary Filter: Only trade during the London/New York overlap (13:00 – 17:00 UTC).

Avoid: The late Asian session or Sunday market open. Spreads often widen to $0.50–$1.00, meaning you are already down 30-50% of your Stop Loss the moment you enter.

3. Market "Mood" (Trend vs. Range)
Trend Context: If the 50 EMA (the White line) is completely flat, the market is in a "Bracket." In this state, EMA crossovers generate many false signals.

The Adjustment: Discretionary traders wait for the 50 EMA to show a clear slope (up or down) before trusting the 9/21 crossover signals.
