The rule as it ran

Anchored move, fade or follow. Run on RTY, the E-mini Russell 2000.

One trade a day, the first signal in the window, on one-minute bars, with one tick of slippage each way and commission. Trades dated 2023 or later are the seen era; the years before decide the verdict. Tested September 15, 2026, under SHELF-01.

It is real and it is slow: 36 months without a new high is in the record, so size to the drought, not to the win.

That is what the record says about the rule as written. It is not what next year says.

THINRIDGE ENGINE REPORT  -  SCORED UNDER PROTOCOL v1.1
==============================================================

SCOPE: Scored under Protocol v1.1 on FirstRate 1-min unadjusted via Thinridge engine. Intake testimony: NOT received (rule tested as locked). Contamination map sworn: no (seen era as declared or by archive date). Human review of reconciliation residue: NO.

1. THE RULE AS LOCKED
   family      : A - The morning move
   as you locked it:
     The morning move, at the settings the door shows before anyone touches them (SHELF-01 v1.1): anchor 800; signal 930; threshold 0.4; exit 1015; anchor_ref open; mode fade; sides Both
     seen era from 2023, the split the six teardowns were scored on
   as the engine read it:
   exit model  : time only
   filter      : none
   lineage     : #1
   bars        : one-minute (every signal, fill and exit is on the one-minute series)
   entries     : one trade a day, the first qualifying signal in the window
   history     : 18.6 years, seen era = 2023 onward (declared by submitter, not sworn)
               : trades dated 2023 or later are the seen era; trades before 2023 are the unseen era, and the unseen era decides the verdict

12. THE AUTOPSY (where the money came from and went; the rule as it ran, no new try)
   Exits: time 789, $39,551.20
   On the books, unseen era (net $28,865.00): 10:00 $27,230.00  11:00 $28,865.00  12:00 $28,865.00  13:00 $28,865.00  14:00 $28,865.00  15:00 $28,865.00

   Plateau: 116% retained on a 10% nudge; sign flip no
   Drought: 36 months without a new high (ending 2025-03); median year $1,742.20; years of median to recoup 7.4

   Longest wait for a new equity high: 36 months, median year $1,742.20.
   No next run is pointed at: no single change is pointed at; the verdict stands as written.

13. IF YOU TRADE THIS BY EYE
   It is real and it is slow: 36 months without a new high is in the record, so size to the drought, not to the win.
   That is what the record says about the rule as written. It is not what next year says.

WHAT THIS CANNOT TELL YOU: the score assumes this rule walked in
once (see lineage) and that your development did not touch the
unseen era. Neither was sworn. A Thinridge audit exists to take
that testimony. Not investment advice. No guarantee of future
results. Statistical analysis of a mechanical rule as submitted.
