Close the position after a fixed number of bars, whatever it is doing. No level, no indicator — just the clock.
Risk the same fraction of the account on every trade. The position size is whatever makes that true given the stop distance — so a wide stop means a small position and a tight stop means a large one, automatically.

The mechanism is sound, but at least one step of it is untested.
Practitioner literature only — no published research supports the mechanism.
It rates the mechanism — whether there is published research explaining why the market should behave this way. It does not rate profit. Strong does not mean the trade will work. None of these have been run on our own account, and no page here shows a backtest figure.

Reading the library is free. A plan is what lets you turn one into a robot.
Trading carries risk and most retail accounts lose money. Nothing in this library is financial advice or a recommendation to trade. The charts are illustrations of the rules on constructed candles — they are not records of trades and not backtests.
