Why trades closed · Exit Reason 1 Target Hit 2 Structural Invalidation More than half of the closes came from Structural Invalidation: the reason for entry broke down, so we exited, not because the target was reached. The rate above measures the realized return at exit, not how often a trade reached its target.

Portfolio curve: U only

Fixed risk of 10% per trade, compounded over time, using the same method as the public record so the results stay comparable. Illustrative, not a promise of return.
