1. Entry 26 Oct 2026 15:30:00 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 0.47R, protecting +0.20R [exposure x1.00, risk 19.06, atr 3.28, be trigger 8.20 (0.43R), moved 9.04]

   peak 0.47R · protects 0.20R

3. Exit · Stop loss hit 27 Oct 2026 00:07:16 UTC

   Closed for +0.20R after 517 minutes.

   Peak 0.56R → kept 35.9%, gave back 0.36R.

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.
