## 📦 Project Overview
This project refactors the monolithic `QuarterTheory_VIZION_FINAL_v5.8.mq5` (1,175 lines) into a clean, modular architecture with **15 separate files ** for better maintainability, readability, and extensibility.

2. **InputParams.mqh ** - All input parameters organized by groups
3. **GlobalVariables.mqh ** - Global state variables and arrays
4. **Utilities.mqh ** - Helper functions (price checks, conversions, etc.)
### Systems
5. **Indicators.mqh ** - Indicator initialization and updates
6. **FibLevels.mqh ** - Fibonacci level calculation and drawing

## 🎯 How to Use
### Current State
The project includes **9 working .mqh files ** that can be included in your main EA. See `EXAMPLE_MAIN_FILE_STRUCTURE.mq5` for implementation pattern.
### To Complete
1. Review `REFACTORING_GUIDE.txt` for full specifications
2. Create remaining 6 files by extracting code from original
3. Test each module independently
4. Integrate into main EA file
5. Compile and backtest

- **Small Files** - Each under 500 lines (most under 300)
- **Focused Functions** - Do one thing well
### Testability
- **Unit Testing** - Test each module independently
- **Mock Dependencies** - Isolate components for testing
- **Debug Isolation** - Issues contained to specific files
### Scalability
