DAY TRADE EDGE PLAYBOOK RULES
DETERMINISTIC PLAYBOOK RULES GOVERNING CARD QUALIFICATION, TIMING CLOCKS, STATUS DEFINITIONS, AND LEDGER SETTLEMENT.
The trading day runs on two separate clocks: an 8:35 AM ET brief calibrating at 9:25 AM ET, and a 9:45 AM ET intraday discovery window rescanning every 15 minutes with 60-minute untriggered expiry.
Every setup must clear four independent survival gates (Liquidity, Catalysts, Traps, and Geometry) before publication.
Cards require a deterministic trigger price, hard invalidation stop, two-stage profit ladder, and a minimum 1:2.5 planned-R floor.
Card states transition deterministically between TRIGGERED, EXPIRED, STAND_DOWN, STOPPED, T1, and T2 with exact ledger impact.
The 0–100 Edge Score measures catalyst strength and volume velocity without LLM inference, functioning as a conviction filter rather than a price target.
Realized outcomes are audited against 1-minute tape prints using the identical fill and accounting rules published on the performance ledger.
Field-by-field breakdown of trigger prices, invalidation levels, SEC citations, and live telemetry badges.
Filters require $50M+ 20-day ADV for core market leaders and $2M+ baseline floor for event expansions to eliminate slippage.
Automated audits screen EDGAR filings for toxic convertible debt, active S-3 shelf registrations, and offering dilution risks.
The engine evaluates anchored intraday volume-weighted average price strictly as an institutional boundary, not a generic retail oscillator.
Setup levels and timestamps freeze permanently upon publication and can never be adjusted retroactively.
Day Trade Edge is an institutional research terminal, not a registered broker-dealer, trade-copy service, or speculative alert room.
