Evidence-quality warning

Legacy letter grades are directional/forecast context only, not trade win rates or profit. Legacy watches were graded at daily chart.close, not fills or confirmed triggers; negative excursions also make those saved grades unreliable as execution performance. Do not use them to promote or suppress agent rules. Letter-grade improvement is not proven. Forward evidence collection is paper-only with matched 1.5R/2R/3R arms; continuous archived live minute/tick data is not yet available. Unavailable data stays ungraded; unknown costs keep net expectancy null. Entry, risk and trading rules are unchanged.

Forward evidence collection

Paper-trial status: summary_available. Forward trial cumulative; not a daily/weekly sample. Primary path: missing_usable_continuous_primary_bars.

Verified saved-summary counts: {"ambiguous": 0, "cancelled": 0, "confirmations_recorded": 0, "confirmed": 0, "expired": 0, "matched_resolved": 0, "open": 0, "report_only": 38, "reports": 38, "ungradable": 0, "unsupported_watches": 0, "untriggered": 0, "unverified": 0, "watches": 0}.

Net expectancy: unavailable โ€” costs and execution evidence not verified here. No trade win rate inferred.

Legacy directional/forecast context

๐Ÿ“Š Weekly NQ Evidence Review

Legacy directional/forecast context for Oct 19โ€“Oct 23, 2026 ET. Score reflects old 15m/30m/60m context outcomes only; raw GEX/options-positioning details remain internal.

Horizon Performance

Directional accuracy, target hits, invalidations, and excursions by forecast horizon. Labels include status text and do not rely on color alone.

No-Trade Condition Quality

No-trade quality is unverified; legacy forecast grades cannot assess confirmed entry or stand-down decisions.

Missing: formal no-trade labels, confidence score, stop distance, and R-multiple fields.

Data Completeness

Available: grade, trend proxy, stretched flag, support/resistance hits, MFE/MAE, horizon moves, and forward key-level setup tags. Missing: execution fills, slippage, and true tick/100t bars. Pending windows this week: 0.

What Worked

  • Historical forecast records remain available for audit, not execution-performance claims.
  • Best available setup bucket: Bear/Neutral / balanced with 18.8% target-hit rate.
  • Longer horizon rows highlight whether calls matured beyond first-noise reactions.

What Failed

  • Formal R-multiple, stop-distance, and execution/slippage fields are still missing from the journal.
  • Worst available setup bucket: Bear/Neutral / balanced with 18.8% target-hit rate.
  • Repeated pending rows in the raw grade log require deduplication during dashboard aggregation.

Adjustments for Next Week

  • Log explicit setup type, confidence, stop distance, target distance, and R multiple for every report.
  • Collect prospective matched paper-trial evidence; do not promote or suppress agents from legacy forecast grades.
  • Keep raw GEX/options details internal, but add a simple confluence tag for post-trade scoring.
  • Weight 15m/30m context evidence highest; treat 60m as context rather than the default hold window.
