The Codeability Index

• Which side to trade? The setup starts 'if we're bearish' and must align with 'your bias' and 'the narrative of the day'. This lecture gives no rule for either; it points viewers to the 41 videos of the 2022 free mentorship [22:38], which we did not score.

• Where is the stop? Not given in this video.
• Where does the trade close?

• How do you tell that a 'sell program' (or 'buy program') is under way? The full lecture describes it as the market 'algorithmically spooling in a direction' [42:39] and ICT writes down which one he expects 'based on what I think is likely to happen' [114:31]; no observable test.
• What makes a reversal a 'change in the state of delivery'?

None. Conventions, not gaps:

• Daily ATR(14) smoothing (Wilder's or a simple average of true range) and using only completed days are the tester's conventions.

None. Conventions, not gaps:

• The document gives two complete systems (System 1: 20-day breakout in, 10-day out; System 2: 55-day in, 20-day out); we scored System 1.
• Its 'Whipsaw' stop is an alternate that 'a few Turtles traded', not System 1's stop.
• Picking among several markets' signals ('buying strength') matters only for a portfolio; a one-market test does not use it.
• Tick size and intraday fills at the breakout level are the tester's conventions.

• Puzanov (MQL5) reports that the authors want the trader to 'analyze how the price approaches the channel borders', and that they 'do not provide any details'; Pezzutti (S&C) lists 'Your judgment about market conditions'. What observable test would stand in for that read?

• What are the trailing-stop numbers (none given by either restatement)?
• Plus One variant: entry 'at the earlier 20-day low' (S&C, no offset) or offset like the base pattern (MQL5)? Stop: S&C gives none, MQL5 uses the two-day extreme; MQL5 also allows re-entry at the same level after a first- or second-day stop-out.
• Are '20-day' lows counted on daily bars only? (S&C's own example runs on a 60-minute chart)

• Which bar of the squeeze is the entry bar, and what is momentum trending higher/lower in numbers?

• Which extension, or the previous high, is the target?
• How is the trend decided?

• Which of the two or more valid wave counts is the right one? The page asks the reader to 'carefully assess the probability of each interpretation' and calls 'preferred' the count that satisfies the largest number of guidelines; this page doesn't list the guidelines.
• Where does the wave count say to enter?
• Where is the count wrong (stop)?
• Where does the trade exit?

• What tolerance applies to the 0.618 and 0.786 ratios?
• How are the X, A, B, C and D points picked?

• How is the profit target found ('prior swing high', 'morning high or prior resistance') and how is the remainder trailed?
• Which days and clock window are allowed ('clean trending days', 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM ET, avoid the first 15 minutes)?

• Where do we anchor: which event, swing low or gap counts? The interview calls it 'the art'; the host says anchoring is 'definitely in your book as well' [50:28], and the video description links Shannon's book. We scored the interview.
• Which 'level of interest' qualifies: how many of AVWAP, 50-day average and Fibonacci level must coincide?

• Where and how much is sold, and how is the stop trailed (no price target)?
• Which five-day moving average, and how is 'declining' measured?

• Is this trading range accumulation or distribution? The page asks the analyst to 'anticipate and correctly judge the direction and magnitude of the move out of a TR'; its phases and nine buying tests are guidelines for that judgement, not a rule that decides it.
• What counts as a spring: how far below the range's support, how quickly back inside, and what is 'low-volume'?
• How large is the 'partial long position', and when is the rest added?

• Gap-size cut-off: 5% minimum or 20% 'usually'?
• Which entry: break of the pre-market high (touch, close, or anticipated), or one of his other setups (first and second pullback, red-to-green, opening-range break)?
• Where is the stop? Not given in this public video; Ross Cameron says where to get in and out is taught in his Warrior Pro classes [01:46]. The description also points to a free class (registration needed) on how he determines entries and exits; we did not score it.
• How is the trade exited? The video says 'either to take profit or to hold for a bigger move' [18:25] and points to the classes for the rest.

• How is a hidden divergence found (RSI length, bars on each side of a swing)?
• Which stochastic settings, and which cross counts as the trigger, and how soon after the divergence?
• How many bars make the swing high for the stop, and how far above it does the stop sit (or an ATR stop)?

• What counts as the 'tap' of the 9 EMA and the 'new low' trigger?

• When does the position close: RSI at 70, a cross back below 70, or 50?
• Where is the stop?
• Should signals be taken only with the trend or only in a range, and how is that measured?

• Is the buy level RSI(2) below 10 or below 5 (above 90 or 95 for shorts)?
• Is the signal the first close beyond the level, or any close beyond it while flat?
• Buy at the close of the signal day or the next open (Connors prefers the close)?

• How far below zero is 'way below the zero line'?
• Which MACD settings are used for the crossover?
• What makes a crossover 'confusing' enough to skip?
• Which swing low is 'the pullback of the trend' for the stop, and how far below it?
• Which profit target: 1.5 times risk, or 25 percent at 1 times risk and the rest at 2 times?

• Which MACD settings (the video calls the signal line a 26-day average)?
• Is the support/resistance step required, and what makes a level 'key'?
• How far below the 200 EMA is the stop, and is it fixed or does it follow the EMA?

• Which averages (50/200 or 5/15), simple or exponential?

• How far is 'just below the Cloud' for the stop, and when does it move to break even?
• Which confirmations are required: price side of the cloud, Lagging Span, cloud colour or thickness, RSI?
