Track A Close-Out Summary (Session 2 Final)

Completion Status: ✅ ALL 5 ITEMS COMPLETE

Commit: 4da4fe3 - feat(pme-1.5): A3 enum migration + A5 cleanup + gitignore expansion

---

A1: Profit Buffer Semantics (Percent-Based) ✅

Status: COMPLETE + COMMITTED (6fe50af)

• Changed InpPartialProfitBuffer from absolute points to percentage above trigger
• Modified signatures: SetRetracementGate(), SetSymbolClassGatePresets(), ResolveGateSettings()
• Dashboard gate comparison now uses percent-based scaling
• Backward-compatible: existing fixed configs still work via threshold fallback

Files Modified:

• Modules_PME/ProfitMaximizer_PME.mqh: Gate logic, function signatures, logs
• Experts/Advisors/ERMT_PMEx/ERMT_PME_1.5.mq5: Dashboard UI labels

---

A2: Dashboard ATR vs Fixed Display ✅

Status: COMPLETE + COMMITTED (6fe50af)

• ATR_STATE label now shows both ATR and fixed triggers side-by-side
• Format: A:<atr_trigger> F:<fixed_trigger> when ATR mode active
• Includes gate execution status (EXEC/DEFER) and retracement %
• Dashboard also shows symbol classification and efficiency metrics

Files Modified:

• Experts/Advisors/ERMT_PMEx/ERMT_PME_1.5.mq5: UpdateDashboard() function

---

A3: Enum Migration (Partial Mode) ✅

Status: COMPLETE + COMMITTED (4da4fe3)

Implementation Details:

// Enum definition (line 62)
enum ENUM_PARTIAL_MODE {
    PARTIAL_MODE_FIXED = 0,       // Fixed points only
    PARTIAL_MODE_ATR = 1,         // ATR-only
    PARTIAL_MODE_HYBRID = 2       // ATR preferred + fixed fallback (default)
}

// Input replacement (line 150)
input ENUM_PARTIAL_MODE InpPartialMode = PARTIAL_MODE_HYBRID;

Backward-Compatibility Remapping (line 300-311):

// HYBRID (default=2) → true (ATR mode, matches old bool=true)
// FIXED (0) → false (fixed-only mode)
// ATR (1) → true (pure ATR mode)
if(InpPartialMode == PARTIAL_MODE_FIXED)
    g_cfg_use_atr_partials = false;
else  // ATR or HYBRID (default preserves legacy bool=true)
    g_cfg_use_atr_partials = true;

Validation Update (line 932-947):

• Changed condition from if(InpUseATRPartials) to if(InpPartialMode == PARTIAL_MODE_ATR || PARTIAL_MODE_HYBRID)
• Validates ATR multipliers only for modes that use ATR
• Fixed/FIXED mode skips multiplier validation

Benefits:

• Explicit mode selection (no ambiguous bool)
• Future-proof for HYBRID mode expansion (HTF gate, blended logic)
• Existing SAFE/AGGRESSIVE profiles still set g_cfg_use_atr_partials = true
• Zero breaking changes for live configs

Files Modified:

• Experts/Advisors/ERMT_PMEx/ERMT_PME_1.5.mq5: Enum def, input, remapping, validation

---

A4: Commit Docs ✅

Status: COMPLETE + COMMITTED (6fe50af)

• 3 docs staged and committed:
  • DESIGN_v1.5_ATR_PARTIALS_RETRACEMENT.md
  • Guides/IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN_ROADMAP_v2.2.md
  • README.md
• No longer showing as unstaged changes

---

A5: File Hygiene & Gitignore ✅

Status: COMPLETE + COMMITTED (4da4fe3)

@!!@ File Cleanup:

• ✅ Archived ERMT_PME_1.5_@!!@.mq5 → Archive/ERMT_PME_1.5_@!!@.mq5
• ✅ Archived ERMT_PME_1.5_@!!@@!!@.mq5 → Archive/ERMT_PME_1.5@!!@_@!!@.mq5
• Both files preserved for historical reference, out of way
• Added Experts/Advisors/*/Archive/ pattern to .gitignore (untracked)

Example Robot Noise Suppression:

Added to .gitignore:

Experts/Examples/**/*.ex5
Experts/Free Robots/**/*.ex5
Experts/Previous/**/*.ex5

• Suppresses ~50+ untracked example/template .ex5 robots
• Cleans up git status output significantly
• Preserves existing Experts/Advisors/**/*.ex5 rule for managed EA binaries

Files Modified:

• .gitignore: 4 new patterns added (Archive/, Examples/, Free Robots/, Previous/)
