Phase 2 Implementation Details:
SMC Logic:
- Order Blocks: Scan 200 bars, detect strong impulse candles (60%+ body)
- OB Strength: 1-5 scale based on body size percentage
- FVG Detection: 3-candle gap pattern, min 30% of ATR
- BOS Detection: Price breaks recent swing high/low
- Entry Confluence: Only enter if price touching OB + trend aligned
Basket Management:
- Groups positions opened within 60-minute window
- Calculates total basket profit (sum of all P/L)
- Closes entire basket when total >= $50 USD
- Smoother exits, prevents "left-behind" positions
Protect Logic (Inspired by Gold Grid EA):
- Triggers when position has -30 pips floating loss
- Opens hedge position (50% size, same direction, better price)
- Reduces average entry price → faster recovery
- Max 1 protect per position (controlled risk)
- Auto-removes protect tracking when parent closes
Macro Checks:
- DXY: Blocks BUY if DXY rising >0.5%
- DXY: Blocks SELL if DXY falling >0.5%
- Oil: Blocks BUY if Oil falling >1.0%
- Oil: Blocks SELL if Oil rising >1.0%
- Fallback: If symbols unavailable, filter passes (graceful degradation)
