Before the code reviewer approved new rules, the paper desk tested whether its plan would comply with them:
- Cost gate (≥1.2% expected move): passes.
- Daily circuit breaker (6 straight losses or −0.5% on the day): not triggered normally. Only a worst-case 2×ATR gap would touch it.
- No chasing stretched moves (%B and RSI extremes): an extra entry check is needed.
- Volume above 1.5× average: consistent.
- No new trades near FOMC/CPI/PCE/payrolls: no such events in the plan window.
- Stop based on ATR or structure: compliant on structure; a hard 1×ATR minimum would need a tighter entry.
Open items were left for the other roles (cost-gate back-test, drawdown baseline, event calendar).
