XAU Imperial Pullback Matrix

XAU Imperial Pullback Matrix 
 The Supreme 4-Level Momentum Recovery Gold Engine 
 
XAU Imperial Pullback Matrix is a highly sophisticated, institutional-grade automated trading system explicitly designed for Gold (XAUUSD). Inspired by the absolute power of the Imperial Matrix, this EA uses a strict **Structured 4-Level Grid Recovery** logic combined with **Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis**. It strikes the market exactly when a pullback occurs in the direction of the dominant momentum. 

Most importantly, this EA **DOES NOT USE MARTINGALE**. Every grid level executes with the exact same lot size (Fixed Lot) and is strictly protected by a **Hard Basket Stop Loss** to ensure maximum capital protection and 100% compliance with prop firm rules. 

=== WHY XAU Imperial Pullback Matrix? ===
1. 4-LEVEL MOMENTUM RECOVERY: If a pullback dips further than expected, the EA executes up to 4 carefully spaced recovery levels. This creates an extremely high win rate without risking the entire account on an infinite grid.
2. NO MARTINGALE (FIXED LOTS): We absolutely despise dangerous exponential lot sizing. Our system enters 1x, 1x, 1x, 1x. It recovers through precision and Ghost Trailing, not by doubling down on bad trades.
3. HARD BASKET STOP LOSS: Every single entry sequence is capped by a strict Maximum Basket Loss (measured in Pips or Equity). The EA will cut the basket immediately if the hard stop is breached. Zero blown accounts.
4. AEGIS SHIELD 3-STAGE DD: Prop firm defense mechanism that monitors daily drawdown. It cuts lot sizes by 50% in the defensive stage and completely halts trading before you hit your daily limit.
5. GHOST PROTOCOL V3: Completely hides your Stop Loss and Take Profit levels from your broker to avoid stop-hunting wicks.

=== PARAMETER GUIDE ===
Pullback Engine:
- InpTrendLookback: The H4 EMA period used to determine macro momentum.
- InpPullbackEma: The M15 EMA period. Price must dip below/above this for entry.
- InpGridDistancePips: The pip distance between each of the 4 recovery levels.
- InpMaxGridLevels: Maximum allowed levels (Max 4).
- InpBasketSlPips / InpBasketTpPips: Hard Stop Loss and Take Profit for the entire basket.

Core Risk:
- InpBaseLot: Fixed lot size if AutoLot is disabled.
- InpUseAutoLot / InpAutoLotRiskPct: Auto scales lot size based on equity and risk percentage.

=== IMPORTANT NOTES ===
- The luxurious emerald and gold HUD displays real-time grid status, lot size, and DD stage.
- Because this EA uses Ghost Trailing, you will not see SL/TP lines on the chart. Do not close trades manually as it disrupts the mathematical recovery cycle.
- This system DOES NOT use martingale.
