Updated Analysis CORRECTIONS + FOLLOW-UP
Re-running E3/E4/E5/E8's own backtest code found a VWAP lookahead bug (E8), an entry-price lookahead bug (E4), a full-day volume-profile target lookahead bug (E3, found Sep 2026), a day-level ATR sizing bug shared by E3/E4/E5 (also found Sep 2026, fixed — moved every affected result by only a few hundredths of PF), and a shared crash bug. E5's implementation checked out clean. Corrected numbers, an out-of-sample-validated 15-variant follow-up study, a systematic OI+CVD+Volume confluence test, and a September 2026 hardening pass that closed out the two confluence categories which had survived the first correction (plus three further new signals, all null) are below.
Method
Discipline: one entry per signal (cooldown until flat), next-bar-open fills (taker), ATR-normalized R, net of taker+slippage. Strategies frozen before testing. Signal-only research, not investment advice. 60-day window → 3 monthly bars on the heatmaps (will thicken as history accumulates).
