Historical TradingView exports, reconstructed trade studies, paper journals, failed branches, chart/indicator research, outside source work, strategy references, and the open questions that drive the next controlled tests.

Headline Internal Studies

The tests that actually moved the project.

Each sample stays attached to its own instrument, timeframe, date range, rules, and evidence class so the numbers remain useful.

Reconstructed V138 trades

Simple baseline earned more research

The reconstructed V1 study produced PF 1.78, +$2,381.25 net and +$62.66 expectancy/trade at a 31.6% win rate. The result made the baseline worth studying further while keeping sample-size and tagging limitations visible.

V6ES · 15m

Midpoint continuation became the strongest large historical export

V6 recorded 156 trades, PF 1.431, +$32,750 net, 39.1% win rate, and $8,875 max drawdown in the checked-in comparison file. A near-duplicate V6 export is tracked separately so it is not treated as a second independent sample.

Retest + confluence returned positive

R1.3 produced PF 1.284 and +$546.25 with 74 reported trades. The source lists 30 winners and 41 losers, so the three-outcome mismatch stays flagged for reconciliation.

Higher win rate did not equal better expectancy

R1.2 reached a 43.9% win rate but finished at PF 0.949 and -$203.75. It remains useful negative evidence when comparing activity, win rate, and expectancy.

The archive is bigger than four backtest rows.

Strategy code, TradingView exports, journal exports, screenshots, decision-tree work, optimizer experiments, robustness tooling, component studies, and live data infrastructure all feed the research process.

External Research Stack

Outside sources feed the research room too.

Outside material supplies definitions, market context, platform references, and candidate mechanics that can be translated into cleaner implementation and better test questions.

8:00 ORB method family

The April research dossier collected public material around the 8:00–8:15 ORB, break/retest execution, HTF context, equal highs/lows, confirmation, and non-ORB liquidity behavior, with source notes preserved for later comparison.

Reference strategy source

Multi-session ORB mechanics

A preserved external Pine strategy exposes configurable New York/Asia/London ORBs, breakout/retest modes, multi-target management, staircase stops, re-arm logic, and adaptive sizing. It serves as a mechanics library for candidate ideas.

RVOL + correlated-asset ORB

A separate preserved ORB script combines a range breakout with relative volume and correlated-asset data. It gives the research queue a concrete implementation to compare when volume/correlation filters are isolated.

Research Map

What is already useful versus what still needs isolation.

The current question is which combination of clock, location, confirmation, context, risk, and target behavior survives controlled comparison.

StructureORB · sessions · prior levels

Objective levels are easy to compute. Preferred ORB clock and range-quality rules still need matched tests.

LocationSweep · FVG · edge · midpoint

Multiple candidate locations exist. Their independent contribution is the next attribution problem.

ContextHTF · VWAP · EMA · session state

Useful in the discretionary process; each filter needs a defined job and controlled on/off comparison.

TriggerReclaim · reject · displacement · MSS

The next attribution harness should compare trigger families on the same underlying opportunity set.

OutcomeTarget travel · MAE/MFE · no-trade result

Signal Bridge is being built to store this automatically so future research uses session-level forward records.

Historical Comparison

Configuration results in one place.

Instrument, timeframe, date range, and logic differ across rows, so the table is most useful for tracing how the system changed over time.

Research Stages

Every result has a place in the stack.

Signal Bridge tracks whether a rule exists in code, has historical results, has been isolated against a control, or has been observed in forward market sequence.

Implemented

Operational

The rule or module exists in code and can be reproduced.

Backtested

Historical sample

A defined configuration has measurable historical results.

Attributed

Component isolation

A specific change was compared against a controlled baseline.

Forward

Market sequence

Replay, paper, funded, and live observations stay separated by source and date.
