1. Entry 28 Oct 2026 14:55:00 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 0.60R, protecting +0.20R [exposure x1.00, risk 14.32, atr 4.88, be trigger 12.20 (0.85R), moved 8.60]

   peak 0.60R · protects 0.20R

3. Exit · Stop loss hit 28 Oct 2026 18:30:46 UTC

   Closed for +0.20R after 216 minutes.

   Peak 0.66R → kept 30.1%, 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.
