My Google Cloud Project was suspended due to “hijacked instance”.  I submitted an appeal stating this: I still have access to project in ai studio. I’ve deleted all old  API  keys and create a new API key. My project operates as a forex trading engine. The system functions as an advanced market analytics server that processes tick-level data for multiple financial pairs (Forex, Crypto, Commodities) concurrently over WebSockets. High-frequency calculation of technical indicators (Bollinger Bands, RSI, ADX, EMA-200, and Divergence patterns) requires sustained, continuous server-side execution with minimal lag.  To provide accurate retracement signals to our clients, our platform keeps highly active, persistent bidirectional channels open with global endpoints. Google's automated threat detection engines may have identified this polling and streaming behavior as a distributed coordinated network action (DDoS or network scanner profile), whereas it is actually dedicated financial market data ingestion.  Calculating dynamic indicator metrics on multi-timeframe candles (M5, M15, H4) across 20+ pairs consumes significant network I/O and processor cycles. This intensive data parsing is required to run our proprietary mathematical models and filter out false market entries. I Stated clearly that I am running a financial analysis and WebSocket streaming app and   that the outbound network spike originates from legitimate analytical data polling (consuming public WebSocket API services) rather than a hijacked instance.
