One method.
Everything else is evidence.

A three-year engineering journal of an MES opening-range method — the research database behind it, the raw tape it was trained on, and the numbers that survived independent verification.

Honesty note: simulated fills are optimistic — touch fills, zero slippage. Nothing on this desk is treated as real until a fully independent TradingView port reproduces it trade by trade. This curve passed that gate on 2026-07-05.

The methods per-method status

The four playbooks traded from one P1 signal — Master, Master Flex, Fast, Fast Flex — rules, stored-book results, and which job each is for.

The Confluence Courtroom permanent record

Every confluence ever put on trial: the six live gates, the 2026-08-07 candidate screen, the bits dropped before they cost a multiplicity slot, and the ones it is now forbidden to re-run.
