1. Entry 17 Sep 2026 13:20:03 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. No stop changes

   The trade did not reach the first protection stage (+0.6R).

3. Exit · Closed by the system 17 Sep 2026 13:20:41 UTC

   Closed for -0.00R after 1 minutes.

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.
