The rules
Rules 1–7 are P1 Master's, unchanged. Only the management differs.
- Opening rangeFirst 5 minutes of RTH (09:30–09:35 ET) on MES 5-minute bars. Mark OR high, OR low, OR mid.
- SignalFirst 5m close beyond the OR high (long) or OR low (short). Eligible closes run 09:40–15:30. One signal per direction per day.
- RSI guardSkip the breakout bar if 5m RSI(14) > 70 (long) or < 30 (short). The next clean breakout close can still signal.
- EntryLimit order at the OR level (the retest), valid 30 minutes. No fill in 30 min → no trade.
- StopStructural stop = tighter of OR-mid or 1.2×ATR, floored at 0.5×ATR, then padded 0.25×ATR further.
- GradeSix confluence bits; take A/B setups only (≥4 bits).
- SizeContracts = risk ÷ (stop points × $5). Start the eval at $200/trade.
- Manage (M1be)One fixed limit target at +2R for the full position. Once +1R prints, move the stop to breakeven. No partials, no trail. Flat by 15:55.
- Daily disciplineDown 2R on the day → done. Same seatbelt as Master.

★ = the book charted above and the PRO25K winner (96% of 2026 starts passed within 30 trading days; 68% across all three years). Same 225-trade sequence in every row — only nominal risk and the honest per-trade contract cap change. Tight-stop trades size-truncate at the cap, so net does not scale linearly with risk.
How to use it
- What it's for: PRO-style evals — no consistency rule, no minimum days, EOD-trailing drawdown. In the stored campaign sims (PRO25K, $800 risk, 20-micro cap): 96% of 2026 starts passed within 30 trading days, 100% within 45, 28% passed on day one; across all three years, 68% within 30 days.
- What it's NOT for: the TPT 25K eval — its consistency rule punishes M1be's chunky $700–1,500 win days. Use P1 Master there.
- Why it works there: the eval target is ≈ two clean +2R days at this sizing. Breakeven-at-+1R converts most would-be losers into scratches; a failed start costs one ~$90 reset, not a slow grind.
- Live/automated: the deployed Pine (p1_fast_flexR.pine) adds needed-taper sizing near the target — see P1 Fast Flex.
