Entry model · v1.1
Turtle Soup (refined)
Fade a failed raid of a significant level. Only quality pools qualify — PDH/PDL, weekly extremes, Asian range, equal highs/lows — and only in a ranging market.
- LONDON
- NY AM
- MIN R:R 2:1
- RISK 0.5%
Required
Every box checks or there is no trade
- Swept level is significant (PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, Asian H/L, EQH/EQL)
- HTF is ranging, not trending through the level
- Spike cleared the level but BODY closed back inside
- LTF MSS against the sweep with displacement
- Entry on retrace into the displacement FVG/OB
- Stop beyond the sweep wick + buffer
Optional confluence
Not mandatory — each one adds weight
- Inside a kill zone (avoid lunch hours)
Warnings
If one of these fires, stand down
- Body closed beyond the level — that is a breakout, not soup
This checklist ships inside the workstation: the Decision Cockpit scores every rule against the live chart and holds the plan at “needs confirmation” until the required boxes check. Where the model is automated, the backtester replays the same rules over years of history — no lookahead, stop-first fills.

Discipline
The model is half the trade.
Judge over samples, not single trades
A good trade can lose and a bad trade can win. Evaluate your model over 20+ executions before changing anything — otherwise you're steering by noise.
No revenge trading
After a stop-out, the next trade must qualify on its own merits. If you feel the urge to "get it back", the session is over — close the platform.
Journal every trade
Screenshot, model, checklist state, emotion, result in R. The journal is where your edge is actually built — the charts just express it.
