Current research candidate. The formal review waits for 50 forward trades.
Forward progress
Waiting is now measurable.
The system records live-market paper trades every day and shows two streams side by side: the leading research candidate and the older baseline retained for comparison.
Tracked in parallel so the new candidate is compared against the old one.
PF ≥ 1.10 and max drawdown ≤ $3,000 before any next-step review.
The actual dashboard
Progress first, P&L second.
The dashboard makes the trade-count bars dominant because small samples are noisy. A red week, a quiet week, or a handful of losses is not enough to judge the strategy.
Trading model
Simple rules, strict boundaries.
Market
MNQ on five-minute bars during the regular session, flat by the close.
Setup
Opening range breakout aligned with trend. Signals wait for bar close.
Risk
Fixed stop, fixed target, one micro contract in the paper phase.
Review
At 50 trades, arithmetic decides whether to continue, stop, or review.
System boundary
No AI in the order path.
The trading system is deterministic from signal intake through risk checks and order handling. Any analyst or narrative layer is read-only and downstream. This website is static Cloudflare Pages content; it cannot place trades, change risk settings, or mutate journals.
