- Sells when RSI > 70 (overbought) or price near upper band
- Best for range-bound markets

⚠️ Security Considerations
- NEVER enable withdrawal on API keys — trading only
- IP-restrict your API keys on Binance
- Use a sub-account with limited funds for bot trading
- Start with tiny amounts ($50-100) and paper trade first
- Monitor actively during first 24 hours
- Set up Binance email alerts for all trades
- API keys on disk — secure your server (SSH keys only, firewall, chmod 600)
