; The Impossible Gold v2.0 — PROP FIRM SETTINGS (GENERIC)
; Base: Live-tuned set file (Trail 25/5, genetic optimised 2024-2025)
; Prop adjustment: Risk, protection, and guard parameters tuned for
;                  typical prop firm rules (5% daily loss, 10% max DD)
;
; DESIGNED FOR: FTMO, The5ers, E8, FundedNext, Blue Guardian and similar
; ACCOUNT SIZE: Works on any size — risk is percentage-based
;
; KEY CHANGES FROM LIVE-TUNED:
;   RiskPerTrade:    1.5% → 0.75%  (halved — prop firms penalise DD hard)
;   MaxDailyLoss:    0 → 4.0%      (hard daily loss cap — stays under 5% rule)
;   MaxTradesPerDay: 10 → 3        (limits daily exposure)
;   MaxConsecLosses: 0 → 2         (auto-pause after 2 losses in a row)
;   EnableShield:    false → true   (locks in profits, prevents give-back)
;   ShieldArmPct:    400 → 75      (arms after ~8% profit on prop accounts)
;   ShieldDrawdownPct: 10 → 5      (tighter trigger for prop protection)
;   ShieldRecovery:  0 → 1         (resets next day, not permanent)
;   EnableNewsFilter: false → true  (avoids volatile news spikes)
;   MaxDrawdown:     0 → 8.0%      (emergency stop before hitting 10% rule)
;   CompoundAggressive: true → false (use starting balance, not equity)
