+========================
+
+Read MQL5 indicator signals (e.g. Alpha Trend) from MT5 GlobalVariables
+through the mt5bridge-ccxt wrapper, and react to them in Python.
+
+This is the recommended pattern when you want to use complex MQL5
+indicators in your Python strategies without re-implementing them.
