The rule as it ran

A sweep of the reference candle's edge, a close back inside it, a fair-value gap against the sweep, first close back into the gap; clock exit. Run on CL, the Crude Oil WTI.

range_start 900; range_min 60; last_entry 1100; exit 1530; min_gap 2.0; mode follow; sides Both

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.

The rule never fired on Crude Oil WTI in eighteen years. Its gap floor is 2.0 points, and a point of Crude Oil WTI is $1,000, so the setting the door shows is sized for the index futures and does not travel; this is a units note, not a verdict. A floor in ticks is on the board.
