MIDAS AUTO - QUICK START

1. Open MetaTrader 5, log in, and make sure Algo Trading is enabled
   (the button in the MT5 toolbar must be green).
2. Make sure gold is in your Market Watch - XAUUSD, GOLD, or whatever your
   broker calls it.
3. Start MIDAS Auto. Your browser opens on the MIDAS screen.
4. Enter the licence key from your purchase email.

IT IS ON DEMO RIGHT NOW
That is deliberate and you should leave it there for a while. MIDAS Auto will
not touch a live account until you open settings, click "Go live", and type the
word LIVE to confirm.

YOUR FIRST TEN MINUTES
  - Set RISK PER TRADE. Start at 0.5%.
  - Set DAILY LOSS LIMIT. Start at 3%.
  - Tick "Place trades automatically".
  - Leave it running on demo and go and do something else.

Expect roughly one trade a week, not one an hour, and only between 07:00 and
15:00 server time. A quiet week is the system working.

THE STOP BUTTON
STOP EVERYTHING is on the main screen. It halts new trades immediately - it
writes the stop before making any broker call, so it works even if MetaTrader
has hung. It will also offer to close your open MIDAS positions at market.

To start again, click Resume.

WHY DID IT SKIP THAT SETUP?
It will tell you. Every refusal is shown with its reason. The usual ones:
  - "Your risk setting does not allow even the smallest position" - your stop
    was too wide for your risk percent on this account size. It skips rather
    than sizing up.
  - "Price moved past the signal" - the market ran before it could act.
    Chasing is a different trade from the one that was tested.
  - "Down X% today" - your daily loss limit stopped trading until tomorrow.

WHAT IT WILL NEVER DO
Touch a trade you placed yourself. MIDAS only sees its own positions.

OPTIONAL: THE WRITTEN READ
Install Ollama (ollama.com) and MIDAS will write a short explanation under each
trade - the context, what would invalidate it, what to watch. It runs entirely
on your PC and costs nothing. The app will offer to set this up on first run.

MY BROKER CALLS GOLD SOMETHING ELSE
Change the symbol in settings to match your Market Watch exactly.

BEFORE YOU GO LIVE
Watch it take at least one losing trade on demo. The strategy wins about one
trade in three, and its worst run on record is ten losses. If seeing that
happen would make you turn it off mid-run, reduce your risk percent until it
would not.
