03 — RISK & VALIDATION

Every proposal.Within boundaries.

Risk is part of the decision process from the start. Independent checks decide whether the evidence, the plan and the available capacity allow a proposal to proceed.

Defined capacity. Explicit conditions. No bypass.

01 / ELIGIBILITY

Seven conditions. One required standard.

The framework tracks seven required gates. Satisfying most of them does not compensate for a failed requirement: eligibility depends on the complete set and the additional execution checks.

  1. 01

    Session — the decision falls within the configured New York trading window.

  2. 02

    Structure — consecutive higher timeframes agree on direction.

  3. 03

    News — the required research is complete and no applicable event block is active.

  4. 04

    Area — a validated primary weekly or daily area is present.

  5. 05

    Setup — the required breakout/retest or reversal sequence is complete.

  6. 06

    Confirmation — an allowed closed-candle pattern supports the direction.

  7. 07

    Risk plan — entry, stop, target and sizing are complete and consistent.

02 / THE PLAN

Define the downside before entry.

A proposal specifies a protective stop beyond the relevant wick and structure. Its position size is derived from the configured risk budget and the stop distance. The selected target must satisfy the allowed reward-to-risk rules and avoid a nearby higher-timeframe barrier.

The current strategy uses one order and one target. It does not rely on position stacking, partial exits or trailing stops. Simulation includes configured fees and slippage assumptions, which do not fully represent every possible live-market condition.

01

Per-position checks

Direction, price ordering, stop protection, target clearance and position size.

02

Portfolio checks

Concurrent-position capacity, pair exclusion, daily entry limits and a daily loss stop.

03 / REJECTION

Sometimes the decision is to wait.

A candidate may remain on watch while price approaches its area or a confirmation is incomplete. It can be rejected when evidence conflicts, a target is obstructed or a required rule fails.

Stale data, unknown execution costs, invalid quotes and relevant news blocks also prevent progression. A news block expires according to its policy and requires a fresh assessment when eligibility resumes.

04 / EVALUATION

Separate simulation from execution.

The base configuration is currently in shadow mode. Proposed trades can be recorded locally as simulations without sending a broker order. Paper and live modes require separate, explicit gates and protective-order checks.

Trading can result in losses. Stops, software checks and exposure limits constrain the intended process; they do not eliminate gaps, slippage, model errors or operational failures. This website describes the framework and provides no investment recommendation.
