Does vWAP reclaim work on YM? Eighteen years, tested

==============================================================
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      : T - A line and a shape
   as you locked it:
     A line and a shape, at the settings the door shows before anyone touches them (SHELF-01 v1.1): line vwap; length 20; distance 0.3; shape reclaim; anchor 930; session exchange; hold 60; window 1000-1500; mode follow; 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

2. VERDICT
   SCORE   : 14 / 100
   VERDICT : REJECTED
   GATES   : G7 era-manufactured edge (expectancy sign)
   CRATERS : pillar(s) below 50%: II, III, IV, V, VI
   Pillars : I=5  II=0  III=0  IV=7  V=0  VI=2

3. RESULT
   Trades 2563   Net $8,055.40   Per trade $3.14
   Seen era (2023+): 497 trades, $10,027.60
   Unseen era    : 2066 trades, -$1,972.20
   Win rate 49.1%  (1259 of 2563 trades closed above zero after costs)
   Exits by type: time 2563

4. THE NULL (random-side twins, 5000 seeds)
   Full window  p = 0.0322  (161 / 5000)
   Unseen era   p = 0.0836  (418 / 5000)   <- governs
   Lineage-adjusted p (variant #1) = 0.0836

9. LIVABILITY (no points; could a person have held this?)
   Longest stretch without a new equity high: 165 months (ending 2022-12)

12. THE AUTOPSY (where the money came from and went; the rule as it ran, no new try)
   Exits: time 2563, $8,055.40
   On the books, unseen era (net -$1,972.20): 10:00 $0.00  11:00 -$4,518.20  12:00 -$2,513.80  13:00 -$1,652.40  14:00 -$5,338.60  15:00 -$4,948.80
   Eras: unseen -$1,972.20, seen $10,027.60; largest unseen year 2022 = n/a of the unseen net
   Plateau: 0% retained on a 10% nudge; sign flip yes
   Drought: 165 months without a new high (ending 2022-12); median year -$922.60; years of median to recoup n/a

   The era is the rule: the seen years carry all of $8,055.40; the unseen years made -$1,972.20. The numbers are a spike: a 10% nudge either way keeps 0% of the result. Longest wait for a new equity high: 165 months, median year -$922.60.
   No next run is pointed at: no change fixes an era; the rule as written is the seen years' rule.

13. IF YOU TRADE THIS BY EYE
   Everything this rule made, it made in the years you learned it in; the fifteen before them say the written rule is a coin, and whatever you do on top of it is where any edge is.
   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.
