WARRIOR EA - URLs TO WHITELIST FOR ALTERNATIVE DATA
===================================================

The EA downloads its own alternative-data history (COT positioning, VIX / dollar
index, EIA petroleum) and keeps it updated while it runs. MetaTrader blocks all
outbound HTTP until you list the hosts explicitly.

WHERE
-----
MT5 menu:  Tools > Options > Expert Advisors
Tick:      "Allow WebRequest for listed URL"
Then add each line below as its OWN entry.

THE URLS (copy-paste one per line)
----------------------------------
https://publicreporting.cftc.gov
https://api.stlouisfed.org
https://api.eia.gov
https://cdn.cboe.com

WHAT EACH ONE IS FOR
--------------------
https://publicreporting.cftc.gov
    CFTC Commitments of Traders (weekly positioning). No API key needed.
    Feeds: cot_spec_net, cot_idx_1y, cot_idx_3y, cot_chg_4w.

https://api.stlouisfed.org
    FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis). Needs the FredApiKey input.
    Feeds: vix, vix_chg5 (VIXCLS) and usd_chg5 (DTWEXBGS broad dollar index).

https://api.eia.gov
    U.S. Energy Information Administration, Weekly Petroleum Status Report.
    Needs the EiaApiKey input.
    Feeds: eia_stk_idx1y, eia_stk_chg4, eia_util.

https://cdn.cboe.com
    CBOE delayed option quotes - open interest and gamma per contract.
    No API key needed.
    Feeds: NOTHING YET. This is a forward RECORDER: it appends one row a day
    to gex_{SYMBOL}.csv because no free history of option open interest
    exists anywhere. It becomes a feature only once the file is long enough
    to screen (roughly a year). Every day the EA is not running is a day of
    that history you cannot get back later.
    Recorded once per weekday after 21:00 UTC. The SPX chain is ~13 MB, so
    this is the one large download the EA makes - once a day.

NOTES
-----
* Takes effect IMMEDIATELY. A running EA picks the whitelist up on its next
  hourly retry - you do not need to remove and re-attach it.
* If a URL is missing the EA prints error 4014, raises ONE alert, and writes
  these same copy-paste lines into the Experts log, then retries hourly.
* Until then the EA runs normally on whatever it has already cached - features
  stay valid but stop updating past their last downloaded date.
* Enter the HOST only, exactly as written above. Do not add paths, query
  strings or trailing slashes.
* The Strategy Tester cannot make web requests at all (platform rule). Tester
  runs read the cached files, which is what makes them reproducible.
* Keys live in the FredApiKey / EiaApiKey inputs - see docs/API_KEYS.txt.
