Note: the accounts mirror the same signal stream, but they diverge because they were subscribed at different times, some ran legacy-engine trades before the Power switchover, and one account was intentionally paused mid-session (Lucid eval management). The cleanest read of the current engine is the account that ran pure Power end-to-end (Lucid 100).
| Account | Trades | Win% | Gross/ctr | After Cost | Engine |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lucid 100 | 36 | 55% | +$268 | +$178 | 100% Power |
| Big 150 | 146 | 48% | +$334 | −$29 | mixed |
| Lucid Big 2 | 52 | 51% | +$102 | −$27 | mixed |
| Lucid Big 3 | 48 | 50% | +$68 | −$51 | mixed |
| Lucid 1 | 16 | 43% | −$42 | −$82 | legacy |
The gross-vs-net gap is the story of this dataset. Big 150 traded 146 times and turned +$334/ctr gross into −$29/ctr after ~$360 of commissions. Lucid 100 traded 36 times and kept +$178 net. Same signals, wildly different outcomes — the difference is almost entirely trade count.
Classifying every Power-engine loss by where it exited relative to its stop:
| Loss type | Count | Cost | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-stop | 13 | −260 pts | Trade went wrong from entry, hit full stop. The dominant leak. |
| Tightened (give-back) | 9 | −67 pts | Went into profit, then reversed back through. The stepped ladder targets these. |
| Near-breakeven scratch | 11 | small | Cut quickly and cheaply. Working as designed. |
Power-engine win distribution: 6 wins over 20 pts (top five: 48, 34, 30, 28, 28), 15 wins of 10–20 pts, 14 wins under 10 pts. The big winners are being captured — the runner logic is working when a real move appears. The concern is the cluster of sub-10-point wins: trades cut before they matured. Some are correct (momentum genuinely faded); some are the trail being too tight and exiting on normal pullbacks.
Across all accounts, 30 exits carried the daily-hard-loss code, concentrated in the mixed/legacy accounts. On the pure-Power account (Lucid 100): zero hard-loss exits. This confirms the latched-lockout fix holds on the current engine — the thrash pattern lives only in the legacy-contaminated accounts and the pre-fix history. Not a current-engine concern, but a reason to get every account onto clean Power.
| Session | Power Trades | Win% | Gross/ctr | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asia | 36 | 50% | +$74 | Steady, workmanlike |
| London | 17 | 47% | +$98 | Choppy but net positive |
| New York | 15 | 60% | +$23 | Best win rate, but flat $ — give-back signature |
NY's high win rate but flat dollars is the clearest evidence for the give-back refinement: winning often, but the winners aren't being kept large enough. Asia and London carried the session on volume.
The cost drag is the dominant leak. Raise the entry bar so the bot takes fewer, higher-conviction trades. Concretely: nudge Min Power 80→85, Power Gap 50→55, and Min ADX 20→23. Target: cut trade count 30–40% while keeping the best setups. Expected effect: turn the mixed accounts' after-cost losses positive. Test one variable at a time.
Full-stop losses are the biggest point leak, and a single ~$700 loss occurred. Add a max-loss-per-trade cap (candidate $400): before entry, if stop-distance × contracts would risk more than the cap, reduce contracts or skip. Also verify the broker disaster-stop is never placed wider than the cap. Protects the downside without touching the edge.
The performance spread across accounts is mostly engine contamination (legacy trades) and different start times. Once every account runs pure Power v4.2.3 with recreated alerts, the mixed-result noise disappears and the true edge shows on all four. Confirm each account's first trade reason code reads "Power."
The mid-size winners suggest the trail may be slightly tight in some conditions. Rather than guess, build the exit-model dropdown (stepped / 80%-peak / structure / ATR) and A/B them on identical entries. Let data pick the trail, matched to A/Storm confidence (high-conviction trades get more room).
The near-breakeven scratch cuts, the confidence-based sizing, the latched lockout, and the runner logic that catches the 48-pointers are all working. The 1.46× win/loss ratio is the crown jewel — protect it. Resist the urge to over-engineer a system that is already profitable.
