๐ Overview
NouveauTrend Core Engine is a sophisticated automated trading system engineered specifically for the XAUUSD (Gold) market. Leveraging a multi-layer Exponential Moving Average architecture combined with intelligent filters and a proprietary "Hold & Wait" recovery system, this algorithm captures high-probability trend movements with exceptional precision on M1 and M5 timeframes.
Unlike conventional grid bots, NouveauTrend Core Engine employs an institutional-grade trend detection system with ADX confirmation, ensuring trades align with the prevailing market direction while adapting to changing volatility conditions.

- RSI Confirmation โ RSI > 52 for Buy, RSI < 48 for Sell
- ADX Validation โ ADX > 25 ensures strong trend
- Price Momentum โ Current bar closes in direction of signal
- Signal Confirmation โ Configurable number of confirmation bars
