Ectra AI: Looking at your SMC trades:
- Win rate is 45% (below target 50%)

- The market has been ranging, SMC works better in trends

Indicators:
- RSI (14) for momentum
- Stochastic for entry timing
- EMA (20) for trend filter

Rules:
- Long: RSI < 30 + Stochastic cross up
- Short: RSI > 70 + Stochastic cross down
- SL: 0.3% | TP: 0.6% (2:1 R:R)
