## 📍 Where to Check EA Status RIGHT NOW

||||
**Look for these SUCCESS messages:**
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||

```
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Should show:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Sniper EA - ACTIVE ← EA is running
|
||||
Session: LONDON/NY/ASIAN ← Current session
|
||||
Balance: 10000.00 ← Account balance
|
||||
Positions: 0/10 ← Current/Max positions

```
|
||||
