========== LONG ENTRY (all must be true) ==========
1. EMA 9 > EMA 21
2. Price > VWAP
3. RSI(5) crosses above 50 (was below 50 last candle, now above)
4. Candle closes above EMA 9
5. Volume ratio > 0.8
→ BUY at candle close price
 
========== SHORT ENTRY (all must be true) ==========
1. EMA 9 < EMA 21
2. Price < VWAP
3. RSI(5) crosses below 50 (was above 50 last candle, now below)
4. Candle closes below EMA 9
5. Volume ratio > 0.8

========== STOP-LOSS ==========
1.0x ATR(10) from entry price.
Cap at 0.15% max. If ATR stop > 0.15%, skip the trade.
 
========== TAKE-PROFIT ==========
TP1 = 1.0x stop distance → close 50% of position
TP2 = 1.5x stop distance → close remaining 50%
After TP1 hit, move stop to breakeven.
 
========== EMERGENCY EXIT ==========
If trade is open 3+ candles and hasn't hit TP1 → close at market.
If RSI(5) crosses back through 50 against your direction → close immediately.
