══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔹 HOW IT WORKS
The strategy uses a smoothed MACD system to detect trend changes:
- MACD Line (White): Fast EMA minus Slow EMA - shows raw momentum
- Signal Line (Yellow): EMA of MACD - shows smoothed trend direction
- Trend Zone: Changes when the smoothed signal line crosses zero
- Entry Signals: Generated at zone transitions
When the trend line crosses above zero → GREEN zone → BUY signal 🔺
When the trend line crosses below zero → RED zone → SELL signal 🔻
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔹 STOP LOSS OPTIONS
🛑 Percentage: Fixed percentage from entry price
🛑 ATR-Based: Dynamic SL based on market volatility
🛑 Fixed Points: Set number of points/pips
🛑 Swing Low/High: Uses recent swing levels as stops
