FeedForwardConv emits POSITION-MAJOR output, matrix_o[out + window_out * i],
so one bar's window_out filter responses are contiguous and consecutive bars
sit window_out apart. Both pooling implementations (FeedForwardProof and
CPU_FeedForwardProof) slide FLAT over that buffer - pos = i * step, reducing
`window` CONSECUTIVE elements. On a position-major layout those neighbours
are different FILTERS of the same bar, never one filter across time.
At the shipped 3/2 the pool computed max(bar0_f0, bar0_f1, bar0_f2), then
max(bar0_f2, bar0_f3, bar0_f4), with every 8th window straddling a bar
boundary. So it collapsed unrelated feature detectors into whichever fired
hardest, passed gradient to that winner only, and halved the feature map
while doing it - all below every learnable layer, where nothing above can
recover it. The removed inputs' own labels ("3 Bars") show time-axis pooling
was the intent throughout.
Measured cost: CONV sat pinned at ~40% balanced accuracy for 510 eras with
Sell recall 0%, while plain MLPs on the same data reached 57-61%. HYBRID,
which also carried this stage, came second-worst of the batch-norm group.
Not fixable in the topology: pooling one filter across time needs a stride
of window_out BETWEEN samples within a window, which a consecutive-window
kernel cannot express at any window/step. That needs a stride-aware kernel
in Network.cl + WarriorCPU.cpp + WarriorDML.cpp and a DLL rebuild, and is
only worth doing if a conv front-end earns its place without downsampling
first - with 20 sliding positions there is little to gain by halving them.
ConvPoolWindow/ConvPoolStep and their enums are removed with it, along with
the |CP: fingerprint term added earlier today.
Both builds compile 0 errors, 0 warnings.

DRY - topology construction
---------------------------
CSignalCONV and CSignalHYBRID each built the Conv+Pool front-end from scratch;
CSignalLSTM and CSignalHYBRID each built the LSTM stage from scratch. The
duplicates had already drifted: HYBRID guarded the LSTM step with
MathMax(1, historyBars/2), CSignalLSTM divided unguarded, so a historyBars of 1
gave two different steps for what is documented as the same layer.
Extracted AddConvPoolStage() and AddLstmStage() onto CExpertSignalAIBase. The
three overrides are now compositions:
CONV = AddConvPoolStage
LSTM = AddLstmStage
HYBRID = AddConvPoolStage && AddLstmStage
HYBRID's "matches the standalone CONV front-end exactly, then adds LSTM" is
enforced by construction instead of by comment. Took the guarded step for both.
Also fixed a descriptor leak the duplicates shared: on a failed topology.Add()
the CLayerDescription was neither owned by the array nor deleted.
Dead code
---------
- CNet::SaveCheckpoint / CNet::LoadCheckpoint (123 lines). Superseded by the
in-memory CaptureWeights/RestoreWeights pair; Network.mqh:1312 already said so
("This replaces the file-based SaveCheckpoint/LoadCheckpoint"). Zero call
sites - every remaining mention was a comment. The five comments that
referenced them have been reworded rather than left dangling.
- CExpertSignalCustom::CheckForDuplicateTrade / FindLastTradeIndex /
UpdateTradeStatusAndExit: declared, never defined anywhere, never called.
They only made it look as though duplicate-trade detection existed.

Add MACD_FAST, MACD_SLOW, MACD_SIGNAL presets and Ichimoku Tenkan, Kijun, Senkou presets to InputEnums.mqh. All combinations are designed to satisfy the respective indicator's validation rules (fast < slow for MACD, Tenkan < Kijun < Senkou B for Ichimoku), eliminating init errors and allowing the auto-tuner to perturb settings independently.
Introduce VOTE_CLOSE_PRESETS enum with a Disabled option (value 101) that bypasses vote-driven position closing via arithmetic thresholding, removing the need for a separate boolean flag. This ensures positions exit only via stop-loss, take-profit, or trailing when disabled.
Add `MA_TYPE_PRESETS` enum covering advanced (ALMA, DEMA, ZLEMA, T3, Kalman) and standard (SMA, EMA, SMMA, LWMA) moving averages. Integrate `maType` and `bestMaType` into `CADIndicatorTuner` struct, update flatten/unflatten routines, and bump `AD_TUNE_PARAM_COUNT` to 33. This allows the auto-tuner to search over MA type alongside period, improving feature discovery.
- Added optional `weighScale` parameter (default -1.0) to `CNeuronBase::Init` and `CLayer::CreateElement`.
- Updated `CNeuronPool::Init` to use LeCun-uniform scaling (1/sqrt(window+1)) for its base initialization.
- Updated `CNet::CNet` to use He-scaled initialization (sqrt(2/neurons)) for dense layers.
- These changes enable more flexible and statistically sound weight initialization, matching the rationale used in OCL-based implementations, leading to better training stability and convergence.
Remove verbose book references from input parameter comments in
Network.mqh for clarity. Add #ifndef guard around ENUM_OPTIMIZATION
to allow inclusion from multiple headers without redefinition.
Document the MQL5 Market DLL restriction in NeuronDirectML.mqh and
introduce WARRIOR_MARKET_BUILD macro to conditionally compile out
DirectML DLL imports for Market-compliant builds.
Replace old ATR_MULTIPLIER, THRESHOLDS_PRESET enums with new
STOP_LOSS_MODE, TAKE_PROFIT_MODE, AI_EXIT_MODE enums that support
ATR-based, intelligent confidence-scaled, and swing-anchored modes.
Also fix LSTM signal identity string.
Audit turned up a real gap for a prop-firm-portfolio-manager use
case: nothing in this codebase watched for account-level daily-loss
or max-drawdown breaches - the single most common way a prop-firm
evaluation actually gets failed.
New Signals/SignalRiskGuard.mqh (CSignalRiskGuard), wired into the
exact same filter-composition chain as SignalNewsFilter/
SignalSessionFilter (CreateSignalWithRetry/AddFilterToSignal, no new
architecture). Vetoes new entries only (never closes existing
positions - a materially bigger behavior change, left to the
trader/EA's own SL/TP handling) once either MaxDailyLossPct or
MaxDrawdownPct (new RISK_LIMIT_PCT_PRESET inputs, both default
disabled) is breached. Peak equity and the current broker day's
starting balance persist to a small local per-symbol-per-magic state
file - peak equity in particular must survive a restart to mean
anything, otherwise a restart would silently reset drawdown tracking.
New RISK_LIMIT_PCT_PRESET enum (2/3/4/5/8/10/15/20%) rather than
reusing PERCENTAGE_PRESETS, which steps by 10 starting at 10 - too
coarse for prop-firm-style limits (commonly single-digit daily loss,
~8-10% max drawdown). Compiled clean (MetaEditor, 0 errors/0
warnings).

CalendarValueHistory() was called with no country filter at all, so
ANY country's economic calendar event vetoed a trade regardless of
relevance - a JPY release blocked a EURUSD trade just as readily as a
USD one, making NF_MinImpact's fine-tuning far noisier than intended.
Adds System/NewsRelevance.mqh (GetRelevantCountryCodes/
ImpactWeightedProximity), a shared utility that cross-references
CalendarCountries() against the symbol's base/quote currency to get
the actually-relevant ISO country codes, then uses
CalendarValueHistory()'s country_code-filtering overload. Shared so
the upcoming NN news-input feature reuses the same relevance logic
rather than duplicating it.
Compiled clean (MetaEditor, 0 errors/0 warnings).

- Variables/Inputs.mqh: drop the dead commented-out HybridSignals input
line; add a one-line note above the section-header input strings
clarifying they're intentional MetaTrader GUI dividers (consumed by
the terminal, not any MQL5 statement) so a future audit doesn't
re-flag them as unwired.
- Signals/SignalSessionFilter.mqh: replace the never-filled-in MQL5
Wizard template header (ProjectName/CompanyName placeholders) with
this codebase's real header, matching every other Signals/*.mqh file.
- Signals/SignalNewsFilter.mqh: remove the stale NEWS_IMPACT template
macro - it was only ever used as the constructor default, immediately
overridden by the real NF_MinImpact input at wiring time.
- Expert/ExpertSignalAIBase.mqh: guard the SERIES_LASTBAR_DATE read in
ScheduleTrainingIfNeeded() so a failed lookup (0) can't silently be
read as "no new bar pending" and stall training/signal refresh.
Compiled clean (MetaEditor, 0 errors/0 warnings) after each change.

Replace hardcoded lr and momentum with new input variables for Adam and
SGD+momentum. Add OpenCL kernel LSTM_UpdateWeightsMomentum alongside the
existing Adam kernel. Update comments and revert beta1 to book default 0.9.
- Ensure `tick_volume` array is set as series in ADShorteningOfThrust.mq5 to prevent future-data leak in volume calculations.
- Ensure `open` array is set as series in ADWyckoffFailedStructure.mq5 to prevent future-data leak in structure detection.
- Add missing PReLU gradient scaling (multiply by 0.01 for negative outputs) in CPU_CalcHiddenGradient and DirectML shader to match expected derivative behavior across all backends.
Warrior_EA.mq5: clear Comment() and destroy the control panel before
Expert.Deinit()'s object-purge cascade runs out from under it; stop
re-registering the same signal filters on every DB retry (was causing a
double-delete of the same pointer on shutdown).
DirectML/WarriorCPU.cpp: bound the worker-thread join in ThreadPool::Stop()
instead of blocking forever - CPU_Shutdown() held g_mutex across an unbounded
join, so a watchdog-killed calling thread could leave it locked forever,
poisoning every future call into the DLL (matches reports of the EA getting
stuck on "initializing" after being removed and re-added to a chart).
Also includes prior era-0 label-cache prebuild and pullback/reversal
label-quality work in AI/Network.mqh, Expert/ExpertSignalAIBase.mqh, and
Variables/Inputs.mqh.
