# Safe Mode

When **Safe Mode** is enabled (`Yes`), the EA prioritizes safety and capital preservation.\
It becomes more selective with trade entries by applying additional internal filters to confirm market direction, volatility stability, and price structure.

This mode is ideal for users who prefer:

* **Lower drawdown**
* **Fewer but higher-quality trades**
* **More consistent performance in volatile or uncertain markets**

When **Safe Mode** is disabled (`No`), the EA will trade with its standard logic, still safe, but more active and responsive to shorter-term opportunities.

**Recommended Use:**

* **Enable Safe Mode** when market conditions are unstable, low account balance, during major news events, or if you prefer conservative growth.
* **Disable Safe Mode** if you want more frequent trades and can tolerate slightly higher drawdown.

**Example:**
