1. Entry 22 Oct 2026 11:45:00 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. No stop changes

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

3. Exit · Stop loss hit 22 Oct 2026 12:47:44 UTC

   Closed for -1.00R after 63 minutes.

   Peak 0.30R → kept -328.1%, gave back 1.30R.

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.
