the problem is when i display the resut of USD Currency that is impacted by news at that hour i have always false instead of true at that hour and minute always see false on the Register console and the positions doesn't close but i have the pop up displayed
Now i found that JSON IS UPDATED CORRECTLY TO TRUE VALUE BUT THE PROBLEM IS IN READING THAT VALUE FROM API HE DOESN't read it he doesn't refresh on the program until i stop the bot and i rerun it again
