3. Usage Requirements
Because this code relies on external connectivity and newer .NET tools, keep the following in mind when deploying it:
Security Prompt: When you drop this instance onto a chart in cTrader, a security dialog will pop up stating the bot requires "Full Access." You must click Allow so the HTTP functions can fire.
Backtesting Limitations: cTrader disables HTTP requests during standard backtests. To test how this bot performed over historical news events, you would need to feed it historical CSV news files rather than using a live JSON API.
