Enhanced Gold Scalping Strategy (Backtest with Time Filter)
This script is a scalping strategy designed specifically for trading gold on lower timeframes, incorporating popular technical indicators and a session filter for optimal performance. The strategy aims to achieve consistency by combining trend-following and volatility-based conditions.

Key Features:
Indicators Used:

Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Filters trades based on the trend direction using a 50-period EMA.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): Ensures trades are taken in favorable momentum conditions (above 30 for longs and below 70 for shorts).
MACD Crossover: Identifies potential trade entries based on MACD line crossing above/below the signal line.
Average True Range (ATR): Used to dynamically calculate Stop Loss and Take Profit levels and ensure trades occur in high-volatility conditions.
Risk-Reward Optimization:

The strategy uses a customizable Risk-Reward Ratio (default is 2:1) for setting Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels, ensuring that winning trades outweigh losses.
Volatility Filter:

Trades are only executed when the current ATR exceeds the 14-period ATR moving average by a defined threshold, filtering out low-volatility periods.
Session Filter:

The strategy only trades during active market hours (8:00 AM to 8:00 PM Amsterdam Time) on weekdays. This ensures trades align with periods of high liquidity and market activity.
Dynamic Entry and Exit Levels:

SL and TP levels are plotted dynamically on the chart to provide a clear visual of potential risk and reward for each trade.
Buy and Sell Signals:

Visual markers (green triangles for buy, red triangles for sell) on the chart to highlight entry points for better trade visibility.
