Wind-down (Thu 19:00 server = Thu noon ET -> weekend close): cancel
entry pendings, no new grids, trail tightened to 200/150pts so open
positions walk out at their natural end instead of being chopped at the
midnight deadline. Hard close unchanged as backstop.
Shadow metric: first tick of each new server week, every EA reports what
its weekend-flattened positions would have done through Friday (MTM at
Friday's last H1 close + worst adverse excursion) — quantifies the cost
of the no-Friday policy from live data.

The ea-watchdog inferred tick starvation from expert-log silence, but a
stable placed grid is also silent — it restart-looped the container 11
times on Jul 15-16. The heartbeat fires on any tick once per hour before
every gate (weekend block, stand-down, drawdown), so silence >1h during
market hours now unambiguously means a dead chart feed.

100 pips was reachable on metals only — FX winners kept cycle-closing
before the trail engaged (GBPUSD +70 pips Jul 15 had an unmoved SL).
Input renamed InpTrailStart -> InpTrailStartPoints so every chart picks
up the new 500 default on recompile without per-chart preset reloads;
metal presets set it back to 1000 explicitly.

Monday's pivots and ATR are built from Friday's session and the first
server hours are the thin Sunday-evening ET market — historically the
only losing weekday (-$121 across 204 trades vs all other days
positive). New CheckMondayStandDown() blocks new grids on Monday
before InpMondayStartHour (default 7 = midnight ET), and because it
sits above the daily pivot recalc, Monday's pivots/ATR are sampled at
the resume hour instead of the rollover. All 17 presets set
InpMondayStartHour=7. Trading week is now Mon 00:00 ET -> Fri 00:00 ET.

CheckWeekendProtection previously returned true after the one-shot
weekend close, so the EA resumed placing new grids for the rest of
Friday. Now it stays blocked until the next trading day and keeps
sweeping stray positions/pendings while blocked.
All 17 presets: InpWeekendCloseHour 17 -> 7 (server UTC+3), closing
everything at Friday 07:00 server = Thursday midnight ET, per the
no-weekend-carry policy.

ApplyTrailingStop() runs every 5s on open positions: activates after
1000 pts (100 pips) of profit, trails SL 500 pts (50 pips) behind price.
SL only moves in the profitable direction, never backwards.
New inputs: InpUseTrailingStop, InpTrailStart, InpTrailStop (all presets
set to true/1000/500). EA version bumped 5.0 → 5.1.

Breakout variant of the Smart Grid: uses BUY_STOP/SELL_STOP orders
above resistance and below support rather than mean-reversion limits.

orders when market returns to range. Mandatory SL on all presets.
Includes 17 .set files: 3 templates (major/volatile/steady) and 14
per-pair presets covering all Grid EA pairs plus EURCHF, EURGBP,
AUDNZD, XAUUSD, XAGUSD.
