Reference · What Skips / What Doesn't

Allowed to Skip on Fallback Days

Never Skipped — Even in Fallback

●DRC §1 Temperature Check — without Risk Mode nothing downstream is permitted
●§2 — bias, regime, 4H structure, 1H structure, alignment (4 hard fields)
●SDL pre-session scan + Cooldown check + yesterday's Constraint
●Atlas 7-condition checklist on any taken Setup ID
●TCJ within 60 min of exit — skipping = T3 E3 breach
●DRC §5 EOD — Process Score computed, no partial fills
●DRC §6 Locked Constraint — one verifiable rule, no exception
●Real-time breach logging — Block 4 cannot batch missed breaches
●Risk Mode obedience — C = A-grade only, D = observe, F = stand down
●Max 3 trades / week cap — fallback does not reset the counter
Readiness Gate Impact

How fallback affects the 6 criteria

#1 Win Rate ≥ 45% (35+ cases)
Throughput slows. Phase 1 mostly fallback may need extension week to hit 35-case floor.SLOWS
#2 Avg R:R ≥ 1.2
Unchanged — R:R set in Pre-Trade Plan, preserved on fallback.UNAFFECTED
#3 Playbook complete + updated
Indirect risk — Atlas edits limited to Review Days; WR Fallback collapses §6 to summary-only.INDIRECT
#4 Drawdown Protocol written
One-time field, unaffected.UNAFFECTED
#5 Process Score ≥ 7 (×2 wks)
Fully achievable on clean fallback. Phase 3 fallback floor = 8/10.ACHIEVABLE
#6 DRC every single day
Clean fallback = streak +1.ACHIEVABLE
Hard rules ≥ 3 consecutive fallback days → Day 4 prompts time-availability audit · ≥ 14 fallback days in a phase → milestone re-evaluation · Phase 3 Week 8 → max 2 fallback days; a third defers Promotion Decision by 1 week.

07:00 → 07:15 · Block 1
Sleep 4 · Energy 3 · Cognitive Load 3 · Distractions 2 · Time 2h → T = 3.5 → Risk Mode B.
Bias: Long · BTC.D: Down · Regime: Trending · 4H: HH-HL · 1H: HH-HL · S/R 66,400 / 68,900 · Aligned.
SDL scan: no cooldown active. Yesterday's Constraint: "Set TradingView alert before any entry." Acknowledged.

07:15 → 07:25 · Block 2
Atlas open. Setup 1 (4H EMA50 Reclaim, Trend Continuation Long) matches.
7-condition checklist: 6/7 pass (C5 partial — driver narrative weaker). Grade B. Risk Mode B permits B-grade.
Atlas §5 inherited: Entry 67,100 · SL 66,400 · TP1 68,500 (2.0R) · Invalidation: 1H close below 66,400.

07:25 → 08:40 · Block 3
Monitor 1H for trigger candle. At 08:12 1H bullish engulfing closes above prior swing high.
Pre-Trade TCJ written in 4 min. Alert set at SL. Entry placed 67,140. Position size 0.5%.

08:40 → 09:00 · Block 4
Position still open at EOD. DRC §4: Hold Quality 4, Drift 1, 0 breaches.
DRC §5: Trades Taken 1, Matched Plan Y, TCJ Pre-Trade Y, Breaches 0 → Process Score 9.5/10. Adherence 100%.
§6: "Did well: Waited for 1H close, not wick. Differently: Pre-set TP2 in Atlas tomorrow. Constraint: Tomorrow I will not check the chart between 11:00 and 14:00 while position is open."
SDL audit clean.

Result: Clean fallback. DRC streak +1. Gate Criterion #6 on track. Process Score qualifies for Criterion #5.

▾

07:10 — Skipped Temperature scales. Wrote "feeling fine, 2h available" in §1. No Risk Mode computed.

07:15 — §2: "BTC looks bullish today." No bias / regime / structure / alignment. §2 incomplete.

07:18 — Skipped SDL scan. Class E process failure flagged at EOD audit.

07:25 — Atlas glance: "Setup 1 looks close enough." No 7-condition check. "Feels like 6/7." Class B6 breach.

07:40 — Saw BTC pumping. Entered without written Pre-Trade Plan. No SL set. B3 + B5 breaches (T3 + T1).

08:30 — Price reversed. Moved SL "to give it room." C1 breach (T3).

09:00 — Closed –1.4R. TCJ logged at 11:45 (2h45m after exit). Edited Thesis to read "BTC.D was rising." E4 (T1) + E5 (T3) + D3 (T3).

EOD — §6: "Bad day. Will try harder tomorrow." Banned phrasing. §6 rejected.
Process Score: components (a)/(c) zero, breach count 5. Process Score 1.5/10. Adherence 0%.

Result: Day incomplete in streak. 5 SDL breaches → 72-hour Cooldown. Gate Criterion #6 broken. Setup 1 flagged for demotion at next WR §6. Auto-Constraint Day 37: "No entries for 72h. Backtest + Atlas update only."
