- Cache currency-based daily risk limits (loss/profit) to avoid redundant AccountInfoDouble calls and divisions on every tick.
- Pass pre-fetched TimeCurrent() value to IsTradingAllowed and UpdateDailyStatistics to reduce system calls.
- Refactor logging calls to use string concatenation, fixing potential compilation errors and improving consistency.
- Update limits only on initialization, day rollover, trade events, and timer intervals.
- Replaced expensive TimeToStruct and StructToTime calls with fast integer math for hour extraction and day-rollover detection.
- Consolidated history scanning into UpdateDailyStatistics to handle both profit calculation and trade counting in a single pass.
- Optimized history property retrieval by using ticket-less variants (e.g., HistoryDealGetInteger(DEAL_MAGIC)) after deal selection.
- Refined trade counting to specifically target DEAL_ENTRY_IN deals for robustness against terminal restarts and cleaner logic.
- Removed redundant history scans in OnTrade handler.

This PR implements several high-impact performance optimizations in `ExpertMAPSARSizeOptimized_Improved.mq5`:
1. **Reduced History Scanning Overhead**: Moved the expensive `UpdateDailyStatistics()` call (which uses `HistorySelect` and loops through deals) out of the `OnTick()` path. It is now called only on trade events, periodic timer intervals, and day rollovers.
2. **Optimized Day-Rollover Logic**: Replaced multiple `TimeToStruct` and `StructToTime` calls in the tick path with a lightweight integer division (`TimeCurrent() / 86400`) to detect calendar day changes.
3. **Efficient History Selection**: Introduced `g_todayStart` to cache the midnight timestamp, ensuring `HistorySelect` targets the current day's data precisely rather than a rolling 24-hour window.
4. **Lightweight New Bar Detection**: Replaced expensive `CopyRates()` calls for logging new bars with a simple `iTime()` lookup.
These changes significantly reduce the CPU and terminal API overhead per tick, which is critical for high-frequency or multi-symbol trading.
📊 **Impact**: Reduces `OnTick` execution time by avoiding redundant history scans on every price update.
🔬 **Measurement**: Verified with `scripts/ci_validate_repo.py` and manual code review against MQL5 performance best practices.
