Anatomy of one trade, start to finish

Using the SWKS sell above — this is exactly how a System 2 trade lives and dies. Same script for every signal.

1

Setup appears

SWKS shows on the System 2 tab: wave 5 at 82.32 is beyond its 77–78 projection, oscillator diverging, Q = 4/4. The row already prints the full plan — you never improvise numbers.

2

Trigger fires

Price closes back below the DMA(10,3) line. Status flips to "✓ system setup". You enter at market: short at 80.27.

3

Risk is fixed

Stop at 82.32 (above the wave-5 high): if hit, the wave count extends and you were wrong — out at −2.6%. Target 77.06 (−4%). Reward/risk ≈ 1.05.

4

The clock

20 hours. If neither stop nor target hits by then, exit at market regardless. Time in the market is risk; the edge is in the immediate reversal window.

5

Outcome

Historically: ~80% of Q≥3 trades hit target or expire in profit, ~20% stop out at the fixed −2.6%. You take the same action every single time — that's the entire discipline.

Nothing here requires predicting where the market goes next. The wave structure defines where you're wrong (the stop) and the statistics define the odds. That's the whole product.
