// 🎯 TRANSFORMATION ACHIEVED:
// ===========================
//
// FROM SWING-LIKE (Current 5M):        TO TRUE SCALPING (This v1):
// • MACD: 8,21,5                       • MACD: 5,13,3 (ultra-sensitive)
// • Stop: 1.8%                         • Stop: 0.15% (12x tighter)
// • Target: 2.7%                       • Target: 0.30% (9x smaller)
// • Hold: 10.5 hours avg                • Hold: 30 minutes max (21x faster)
// • Trades: 21 total                   • Trades: 20-100+ daily (50x more)
// • Risk/Reward: 1:1.5                 • Risk/Reward: 1:2 (better ratio)
//
// ⚡ SCALPING FEATURES IMPLEMENTED:
// =================================
// • Ultra-fast MACD (5,13,3) for maximum sensitivity
// • Micro-structure analysis (8-period micro-trend)
// • Volume spike detection (2x average for institutional flow)
// • Strong candle confirmation (60% body requirement)
// • Momentum acceleration/deceleration tracking
// • Time optimization (London/NY overlap 7-16 UTC)
// • Multiple quick exit mechanisms (momentum/profit/time)
// • Breakeven protection system
// • Force exit after 30 minutes (prevent swing behavior)
// • Real-time execution optimization
//
// 🚨 EXPERIMENTAL WARNING:
// ========================
// This is v1.0 experimental code in testing lab
// - Paper trading only - no live trading
// - Comprehensive testing required before any live use
// - Performance validation needed vs current system
// - Risk management stress testing required
//
// 📊 EXPECTED PERFORMANCE PROFILE:
// ================================
// • Holding Period: 95% trades ≤ 30 minutes
// • Trade Frequency: 20-100+ trades per day
// • Win Rate Target: 65-80% (high frequency approach)
// • Daily Return Target: 2-5% account growth
// • Risk Control: Ultra-tight 0.15% stops
//
