Usage Notes:
It is strongly recommended to run the Expert Advisor (EA) in the Strategy Tester first.
Brick size is measured in price units, not points.
Virtual Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) require the EA and the trading terminal to remain operational. These are not broker-executed protective orders.
Trade execution may be subject to delays due to closed market sessions, connection disruptions, or execution limitations.
Price gaps can potentially lead to losses exceeding the nominal stop levels.
Trade requests are evaluated against the symbol's trading session schedules.
Renko and momentum history resets upon EA reinitialization.
Existing positions or active orders for the same symbol will prevent new entries.
Utilize one EA instance per symbol and ensure a unique Magic Number for each.
The historical performance presented does not constitute evidence of a consistent trading edge and is not a guarantee of future profitability.
