01

Lock the rules before testing

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.

Evidence: parameter list (draft)
Trade evidence
02

Fixed instrument and data

Name the instrument and the data file. Times are New York time, prices are rounded to the tick, and contract roll weeks are removed. The same cleaned data is used in every window.

Evidence: not yet tested
Trade evidence
03

Tuning window: 1 Jan to 30 Apr (four months test)

This is the only window where settings can be adjusted. Rank settings by net profit after commission. Anything with fewer than 100 trades doesn't qualify. Keep the top 20 and lock them.

Evidence: not yet tested
Trade evidence
04

Out-of-sample: 1 May to 31 Jul (three months test)

Run the locked settings once, exactly as they are. No changes after seeing the results. A setting passes if it makes a net profit and has a profit factor above 1.

Evidence: not yet tested
Trade evidence
05

Holdout: 1 Aug to 14 Sep (about six weeks test)

Run only the settings that passed out-of-sample, unchanged, once. Passing here is the promotion gate. Failures are marked failed and stay visible.

Evidence: not yet tested
Trade evidence
06

Commission out of everything

$5 per round turn on NQ comes off every trade before any figure is shown.

Evidence: not yet tested
Trade evidence
07

A-plus gate

A trade only counts if it passes the trader's written A-plus checklist at entry: right session, liquidity swept, bias agrees, entry model confirmed, and stop and target where the checklist says. Failures are logged as B or C trades and kept out of the results.

Evidence: 4 checks
Trade evidence
08

Code forensic on real A-plus trades

Every known real A-plus trade from the trader's videos or posts is traced through the A-plus definition, each filter (session, bias, sweep, timeframe, news, caps), the Roman/ZZ entry path (trigger, confirmation, order type, expiry) and the fill. Record the exact step where each one dies. Misses are fixed in the next version, never the current one.

Evidence: not yet tested
Trade evidence
09

Standard label

Every result shows, in order: test number, instrument, length in words, average trade, profit factor, win rate, equity curve; then average signed ticks, trade count and drawdown.

Evidence: not yet tested
Trade evidence
10

No shortcuts

Windows run in order, with no extra out-of-sample passes and no retuning after a peek. Under 100 trades or under about three months is a diagnostic, not a pass.
