Actual Trade Example

I executed the trade based on a signal from the 1-hour chart.
Accordingly, the stop loss (SL) was set at the most recent 1-hour low.

The entry timing was confirmed using the 1-minute chart.
In hindsight, using the 5-minute chart for timing would have avoided the drawdown.

I exited the trade as the market was approaching a session change.

The blue vertical line marks the entry time.
The yellow vertical line marks the exit time.

The risk-to-reward ratio was 1:0.7.

Actual Trade Example

The 4-hour and 1-hour charts were showing buy signals.
I entered a trade based on a buy signal from the 1-minute chart.
The stop loss (SL) was set at the most recent low on the 1-minute chart.

Although it was a new order placed just before the London session, I trusted the signal and anticipated momentum following the market open.

I exited the trade near the recent high.

The blue vertical line indicates the entry time.
The yellow vertical line indicates the exit time.

The risk-to-reward ratio was 1:0.66.

I'm sorry.
The version I posted earlier is not the current one — it's a test version used for dashboard integration with FNC_DB.
I've uploaded the current version to Post #1.

I noticed the discrepancy because the dashboard signals from FNC_DB did not match the signals generated by this tool.
Apologies once again.
