Decision score: A valid trade can earn 350 points for direction, 200 for a structural stop, 200 for at least 2R to the fixed target, and 150 for staying within the 1% risk limit. A correct pass earns 900. Passing a qualified setup earns 250. A timeout subtracts 200 from the pass score. Wrong-direction trades are capped at 450; over-risk trades at 300. Maximum: 7,200.
How fills work: Market orders enter at the last visible close. Retest orders wait at the displayed limit. Position size rounds down to whole units at $1 per price point. Stops take priority if one candle touches both stop and target. Targets can’t fill on a retest entry candle. Open trades close after eight candles. No fees, slippage, or gaps are modeled.
What this teaches: The setup rubric is a simplified practice framework, fixed before the reveal. Prices are synthetic. Some sound plans lose, and some poor plans win. The expanded library has 24 directional families with bullish and bearish versions, plus eight trap families: 56 templates. Each new run draws eight different families and varies swing timing, retracement depth, candle ranges, target room, and future paths. New tapes favor less overlap with your last five runs in this session. Familiar principles can recur; identical scenarios aren’t promised never to recur. Old challenge links retain their original tape. Challenge links reproduce the same tape; shared scores are self-reported.
