2. From observation to model conditions

Read the selected rule version

A tab name does not replace its current guide. Find the technical-setups screen labelled ABCD / Signals in the current interface and open its guide. Check exactly which structure, breakout, retest and confirmation that version describes. In Movements, examine continuation and reversal separately. The ABCD label alone does not establish that every rule matches the geometric AB=CD exercise in the theory course.

Before reviewing a situation, read the scales stated on the card and in its guide: structure candle, confirmation, leader-selection period and forecast horizon. These are different measures; do not look for a selector that the selected screen does not provide. For example, a 12-hour change does not mean entry confirmation on a 12h candle. Save the screen label, rule version, displayed scales and actually available settings so another learner can reproduce the check.

First read a card as a sequence of states: observation, satisfied model conditions, waiting for fresh data and model entry. Separately check cancellation, expiry and insufficient data. A model event does not confirm that an order filled on your exchange. History retains observations, including earlier rule versions; combining them into one new performance series without separating versions is invalid.

Check the whole plan

Write down direction, available entry price, SL, TP1, TP2, reasons for the levels and the validity period. In an initial paper plan with loss risk, a long stop is below entry and a short stop is above it; the target is on the profitable side. This does not describe a protective stop already moved after entry. Any unclear element is a reason to investigate further. Do not invent a missing second target.

For a partial exit, clarify position fractions and the protective-order rule. A TP1 mark in a model does not prove that the required fraction closed or the stop moved at your venue. Keep the card’s observed state separate from the assumed execution sequence in your paper journal. Compare the two only after every assumption has been made explicit.
