1. Entry 15 Sep 2026 00:45:00 UTC

   Opened with a stop and a strategy target set by the rule — the level it was aiming for, not an order resting at the broker. The levels themselves are shown to investors on their own dashboard.

2. Stage 2 · BREAK EVEN stop moved up

   stage 2 break_even: peak 0.66R, protecting +0.20R [exposure x1.00, risk 16.66, atr 5.81, be trigger 14.52 (0.87R), moved 10.96]

   peak 0.66R · protects 0.20R

3. Exit · stop loss 15 Sep 2026 01:38:45 UTC

   Closed for +0.20R after 54 minutes.

   Peak 0.66R → kept 30.4%, gave back 0.46R.

The range-exhaustion and liquidity take-profit logic is built and measured but is not enabled in live operation: across 11,037 development trades it added +3.2R in total and landed exits further from the eventual extreme than doing nothing.
