Best Operating Practices for BTCUSD cBot

Run only during high-liquidity hours:
→ Prefer 12:00–03:00 UTC (London–New York overlap).
→ Avoid 03:00–09:00 UTC (Asian close — low volume & false moves).
Do not trade weekends:
→ BTC volatility becomes erratic; spreads widen and MA signals lose reliability.
Use manual monitoring instead of auto equity stops:
→ Watch Total Profit (Realized + Unrealized) on cTrader.
→ When it reaches your Target Profit parameter, stop the bot manually if needed.
Re-enable only after clear market direction resumes:
→ Wait for 30–60 minutes after a big BTC spike before restarting.
Keep logs visible:
→ The [DEBUG] Total Profit message is your main confirmation of progress toward target.
Avoid overlapping runs:
→ Only one instance per symbol — prevents double exposure or conflicting positions.
Monitor during high volatility events:
→ Examples: FOMC, CPI, or Bitcoin halving-related news.
→ Either pause the bot before such events or supervise actively.
