Every rule is written in full as a parameter list (sessions, setup conditions, entry, stop, target, max trades, bias) with a version number and a date before any data is run. Nothing changes once testing starts. Any change is a new version, and that version starts again at rule 1.
Not yet tested (backtest). Locked parameter list below; the faithful top 20 rerun is in progress after the 2026-10-04 audit.
