Sharper week-day entries.
A three-day study series re-tuned entry timing for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Each day got the discipline its character actually rewards — and backtest profit jumped on all three. Live from 2026-05-12.
- Monday: tighter entry timing on pullback days.
- Tuesday: dual-path entry so missed-breakout days don't slip by.
- Wednesday: longer hold for continuation regimes.
