  "abstract": "DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: No single rule survives hostile scrutiny — the ICT \"breakout after revisit\" edge is timeframe-dependent (h1 only) and conflicts with our 15s–7m scalp mandate. The 5m bench (-37.5R) proves the core signal is noise at our speed. The proposed E8 filter (node alignment + 0.25 ATR proximity) is speculative — no backtest evidence shows it rescues a 13.5% win-rate strategy. EXPECTED IMPACT: Win-rate would drop (ICT h1 14.5% wr vs our ~50%), forcing us to hold 50+ bars — impossible for 15s–7m exits. Profit would degrade due to 20+ trade losing streaks and spread costs on 5m. RISK: Over-trading ranging markets; false FVG identification on low TF; stop-losses hit by E8 rhythm noise before target; model complexity without proven additive edge. TEST: Before any reconsideration, run frozen 90-day EURUSD 5m shadow with exact ICT rules + E8 node filter. Must show ≥45% win-rate AND ≥+20R over 500 trades (not 2,622) to even approach viability. Current data predicts fai\n\nAuthor: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series. Platform: e8intelligence.com",
