PERFORMANCE METHODOLOGY & FILL RULES
The Day Trade Edge performance ledger is governed by deterministic, path-dependent post-market tape evaluation. Every setup published in the morning briefing (08:35 ET) or intraday scans is recorded permanently without exception.
01 // ENTRY & INVALIDATION RULES
Entry occurs strictly if the stock's price trades through the published trigger price during its valid market window. If the invalidation stop is touched first, the position is settled as STOPPED (-1.00R).
02 // EXITS & SESSION CUTOFF
Target 1 locks in the primary trade gain. Open runners are trailed to Target 2 or closed at the 15:55 ET session cutoff print (TIMED_EXIT). Setups untriggered at session close are recorded as EXPIRED (0.00R) and excluded from win rates.
03 // R-MULTIPLE MATH
1.00R is defined as Trigger - Stop. Win rate is strictly Wins / (Wins + Losses + Scratches) on triggered trades. Scratches are trades with $|R| \le 0.05$.
