Why examine it? A rounded recovery returns to a horizontal rim. The shallow handle leaves a defined breakout level and a visible place where the idea fails.
What must happen? Wait for a completed 4H close above 100 and review the available fill. A touch of the rim is not a confirmed breakout.
Risk and alternative. The example stop is 95, below the handle. A failed breakout or loss of the handle weakens the setup; there is no verified Elliott origin in this example.
At the fictional reference: risk 5.00%, reward 16.00%. Excludes costs and gaps; no filled trade.
Why examine it? A narrow price range gives way to an upward move. The example separates the compression state from the directional entry rule.
What must happen? A squeeze release alone does not determine direction or guarantee acceleration. An actual report must verify the frozen squeeze settings, momentum and entry date.
Target basis. Separate example target model: 52 + 2 × (52 − 49) = 58.
Risk and alternative. The illustrative stop is 49. The fixed target is a separate 2R example model, not an intrinsic TTM Squeeze target.
At the fictional reference: risk 5.77%, reward 11.54%. Excludes costs and gaps; no filled trade.
Why examine it? A short pullback within a rising daily trend becomes a paper candidate only when the stock and lagged benchmark filters also pass.
What must happen? Entry is only at the next regular-session open. Its price is unknown here; recheck gaps, costs and eligibility before any hypothetical fill.
Risk and alternative. The 76 stop is a tactical ATR level. It is not an Elliott boundary. Paper exits also depend on RSI2 and holding time under the frozen rules.
At the fictional reference: risk 5.00%, reward 7.50%. Excludes costs and gaps; no filled trade. This nominal example does not calculate the frozen paper strategy’s net entry eligibility.
What a real edition must include
Actual coverage and failures, exchange and completed-bar timestamps, source/settings, verified indicators, earnings context, the competing count and a reviewable outcome history. None of those is implied by this fictional sample.
