Rage of the Machine

• Confirmed Bias - the SYS Bias forecast (source, not the market's own price) identifies a candidate bucket at 9am, but no capital commits then. Only if that same bucket is still the market's own unique top pick at 10am does the trade actually enter, priced at 10am, not 9am - two independent signals (a real forecast source, and the market's own subsequent agreement) both have to line up.
• Stable Momentum - Delta Trend's own proven "Early Morning" condition (baseline 6am-8am, price moves 2-6 points within 3 hours) reused directly, plus an added gate: the bucket has to have been the market's uncontested leader at every hourly checkpoint from 7am through entry, not just at the baseline and entry moments. Restricts Delta's proven edge to the ~53% of city-days that never see the lead change hands at all (see the distinct-leader-count chart on the Tap Out research page).
• Wide Lead - buys the market's own top bucket once its lead over the runner-up clears a threshold looked up per hour from the Divergence research page's own gap-vs-win-rate curve (searches 9am, 10am, 11am in order, entering at the first hour that qualifies). Not one fixed number - at 9am a 44-point gap is needed to clear the bar, but only 25 points by 1pm, since a given gap means less once the market's had more of the day to converge.

• Stop-loss - currently turned off. When enabled, it checks continuously and closes every remaining unit immediately once YES drops to 0.20 or below. A full-history backtest comparison showed every condition's PnL improved with it off (Confirmed Bias -4.91 → +0.33, Stable Momentum +8.05 → +15.77, Wide Lead +6.08 → +25.30) - 24.4% of stopped-out positions went on to win anyway, and the average stop-loss loss was already bigger than the average take-profit gain. The real tradeoff: without it, the worst single-trade loss runs close to -0.99/unit (a near-total wipeout) instead of the roughly -0.45 to -0.62 a stop-loss caps it at - better average, worse tail risk.
• Staggered take-profit - 3 units open per entry, checked at 12pm, 1:50pm, and 3:30pm. At each checkpoint, if the price has moved at least 10 points above entry, one unit closes via the offsetting NO purchase (same deterministic lock-in Tap Out uses) - at most one unit per checkpoint, not all at once.
• Anything still open after the last checkpoint holds to normal daily resolution.

At each checkpoint, before the plain take-profit check runs, Confirmed Bias first asks whether a different bucket has now developed a wide-enough lead of its own (the same Wide Lead threshold, for that checkpoint's hour). If so, the held unit closes via the offsetting NO at its current price and a fresh unit opens on the new bucket instead - rotating capital toward whichever pick is strongest right now rather than staying anchored to the 10am entry. This doesn't replace the plain take-profit exit, it's evaluated first at each checkpoint: rotation only fires when a genuinely different, currently-stronger bucket exists, otherwise the checkpoint behaves exactly as it does for the other two conditions.
