MODEL ADOPTION #4639: REJECT — VIDEO SCOUT: ICT Concepts - London Session Raids 2:00am to 5:00am, New York Local Time — E8 Intelligence Research
- 1Independent Researcher, United Kingdom
Abstract
DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: No single rule survives hostile review — the "sweep Asian high/low + displacement reversal" is already implicitly covered by E8's fade-polarity logic, and the 02:00–05:00 NY time filter adds no new edge for our 15s–7m scalping cadence. The video's method is a slower, discretionary version of what we already execute mechanically. EXPECTED IMPACT: +0R to +2R/month at best — the time filter would only remove trades we already avoid via E8 rhythm gating, while the displacement-confirmation requirement would delay entries past our pre-set geometry targets, degrading fill quality. Win-rate would not improve because our losses are not time-of-day dependent but rhythm-misalignment dependent. RISK: Adding a kill-zone filter would blind us to valid fade setups that occur outside 02:00–05:00 NY (e.g., late-news reversals, Asian-session range breaks that align with E8 nodes). It would also increase model complexity without addressing the actual drawdown source: over
