Reconstructed V138 trades
Simple ORB baseline
PF 1.78, +$2,381.25 net and +$62.66 expectancy/trade in the reconstructed study. A small but useful sample that kept the ORB branch alive.
Mason · Strategy & Research.
This is the flagship trading desk inside Signal Bridge: the current Mason ORB framework, the full decision process behind it, historical versions and backtests, external research, research gaps, and the testing path feeding the next indicator and strategy builds.

Current model
Mason ORB
The live flagship framework: session map, 8:00–8:15 opening range, retest/reclaim/rejection behavior, confluence, liquidity objectives, and the Signal Bridge event lifecycle.
Decision processMason Trade Bible
The full desk process in plain English: map structure, build the ORB, read pre-New-York behavior, evaluate retests, stack confluence, define liquidity targets, and manage risk.
Research roomResearch & Evidence
Historical backtests, reconstructed trade studies, research inventory, outside sources, configuration comparisons, research stages, and the next questions to isolate.
Current Framework
The morning model in one pass.
The details live in Mason ORB and the Trade Bible. This is the top-level map connecting them.
01Map Asia, London, prior-day and overnight structure
02Build the 8:00–8:15 ORB high, low and midpoint
03Read the pre-NY break, sweep, hold or failure
04Wait for location + retest / reclaim / rejection
05Use HTF, VWAP, EMA, FVG and participation as context
06Target the next plausible liquidity objective
07Journal the trade or pass and feed the next review
Strategy Lineage
The versions that changed the desk.
Each version stays attached to its own sample and rules. The point is to see how the system evolved, not merge unlike tests into one performance number.
R1.282 trades
Adaptive second-trade model
43.9% win rate, PF 0.949 and -$203.75. More flexibility and a higher hit rate did not improve the configuration.
R1.374 reported
Retest + confluence
PF 1.284 and +$546.25. The historical export returned positive while keeping a three-outcome trade-count mismatch flagged for cleanup.
V6156 trades
Midpoint continuation
PF 1.431, +$32,750 and 39.1% win rate in the largest checked-in ES historical configuration.
What The Research Is Doing Now
Turn the discretionary edge into cleaner questions.
The current work is less about adding more confluences and more about defining which pieces actually improve the same opportunity set.
ORB clock / range qualityTesting
Compare range definitions and filters on matched dates, timeframe, costs, position size, and exit logic.
Entry modeTesting
Immediate breakout versus boundary retest versus midpoint retest on the same underlying opportunities.
Context filtersAttribution
HTF structure, VWAP, EMA, displacement, FVG, range, volume, and liquidity need defined jobs and isolated on/off tests.
Risk / exitsReconcile
Lock costs, sizing, stop logic, target model, break-even behavior, and forced-flat timing before comparing strategy variants.
Forward session dataBuilding
Signals and journals are becoming durable records so no-trade days, setup states, outcomes, and post-session behavior can be studied later.
From Mason To Signal Bridge
The flagship desk is the first full example of the product loop.
The same structure can later support a member’s own strategy, indicators, signals, and journal without mixing their records into Mason’s research.
