### Apex Pullback
Apex Pullback is a single-position, multi-timeframe Expert Advisor built for GBPUSD, EURUSD, XAUUSD, and USDJPY.
Most retail mean-reversion systems fail because they fade strong directional trends, and most breakout systems fail because they buy exhausted tops. Apex Pullback solves both problems by
separating trend direction from entry timing: it uses the H1 EMA(100) to define the active directional regime, then waits for a short-term M15 volatility and momentum flush (2.5 SD
Bollinger Band pierce + RSI 14 extreme) against that trend before entering.
Every trade is independent and protected by a hard, volatility-scaled Stop Loss and Take Profit from the moment the order is sent.

### Core Architecture
• Macro Regime Filter (H1): Long setups are permitted only when both H1 and M15 closes hold above the H1 EMA(100). Short setups are permitted only below the H1 EMA(100).
• Extreme Value Entry (M15): Enters when price stretches beyond the 2.5 standard deviation band while RSI(14) reaches < 28 (for Longs in an uptrend) or > 72 (for Shorts in a downtrend).
• ATR-Scaled Exits: Stop Loss (2.5x M15 ATR) and Take Profit (2.0x M15 ATR) adapt automatically to current market volatility.
• Time Stop: Closes stagnant positions after 24 hours (InpMaxHoldHours) to prevent weekend or multi-day exposure drift.
• Built-In Execution Guards:
• Spread Filter: Blocks entries when live spread exceeds 35% of current M15 ATR.
• Spike Filter: Blocks entries on abnormal news/manipulation candles exceeding 2.2x M15 ATR.
• Economic Calendar Blackout: Pauses new entries 30 minutes before and after high-impact (High Importance) news events affecting the pair's base or quote currency.
