EN-12 — signal-bar range cap DROPPED
Corpus lane — EN-12 · Killed before scoring, in the open, with a written reason.
BURNED DATA — 2019–2026 was selected on before this lab existedNOT TV-VERIFIEDSCREENING ≠ CERTIFICATIONOPTIMISTIC FILL MODEL — touch fills, zero slippageMES ONLY · P1 M2 managementSOLO LEDGER IS NOT A BOOK — never summed
What it asks
Reject the signal if the bar that produced it is too large — 'a certain percentage' of something, per the source.
Drop record — verbatim
DROPPED: the source itself states no number ('a certain percentage'), so any cap we wrote would be tuning-by-authorship on a mechanism adjacent to the dead `n3-displacement`. b_dryup's 0.70 is also ours, but its mechanism — volume contraction — is nowhere near a dead bit; the asymmetry is recorded here (design §A.2) as a judgment, not an accident.Status — DROPPED
DROPPED in the open: the source itself states NO number, so any cap we wrote would be tuning-by-authorship on a mechanism adjacent to the dead n3-displacement. The asymmetry with b_dryup (whose 0.70 multiple is also ours) is recorded deliberately in design §A.2 as a judgment, not an accident: dry-up's mechanism, volume contraction, is nowhere near a dead bit, while a bar-size cap sits directly next to one.
Retest path
Only if a source supplies an actual number. Inventing a parameter next to a dead mechanism is how a killed idea gets resurrected under a new name.
Standing caveats
- Fill model optimistic: touch fills, zero net slippage, entry-bar SL/TP not checked inside the fill minute.
- Not a holdout — 2019-2026 was selected on, tuned on and reported on before this lab existed. A good number here means 'worth pre-registering', nothing more.
- MES only; the P1 edge is MES-centric and recent-regime.
- Masters miss four Sunday-evening blocks (May-Jun 2026); data ends 2026-07-31.
- Mean solo R is an average per candidate. The solo ledger is not a book and is never summed (PROTOCOL.md §0).
- Per-era cells are reported separately and are NOT pooled into a verdict; each is a smaller sample than the headline.
- Nothing on this page is TV-verified. A backtest number becomes actionable only after an independent TradingView Pine port reproduces entries AND per-trade PnL on a Deep Backtest export.
- Screening is not certification. Promotion requires all seven PROTOCOL gates, ending in a forward paired evaluation and a Pine referee.
