The Prompt
Adjust the provided trading script to allow easy configuration for any currency pair, not just XAUUSD.
To achieve this, introduce a variable or input parameter that enables the user to specify the desired symbol (currency pair or instrument) dynamically.
Ensure the script consistently references this parameter wherever the symbol is used, including:
– Data fetching
– Indicator calculations
– Order placements
Maintain all existing functionality and logic while making the code adaptable to different symbols.
# Steps
1. Identify all occurrences of the hardcoded symbol ‘XAUUSD’ in the script.
2. Replace these hardcoded references with a variable or input parameter named `symbol`.
3. Provide a mechanism (e.g., script input or function argument) to allow the user to set this `symbol` when running the script.
4. Ensure that all functions and operations using the symbol refer to this parameter.
5. Test the script with multiple currency pairs and instruments to verify correctness.
# Output Format
Present the modified script code with:
– Clear inline comments explaining the changes made to enable symbol configurability.
– Any necessary instructions on how to set the desired symbol when running the script.
