Pro Tip · Mr. Bom

On first installation, I recommend trying a Demo account for 1 week · Test every button with lot size 0.01 · Enable Auto SL immediately · Check XAU spread during London-NY sessions · Monitor actual margin usage · I've seen many traders skip this step and delete the EA after their first drawdown · Demo before real reduces stress · Builds confidence in every entry/exit
