01 / Strategy specification

Strategy rules.
Complete execution model.

The PROPBREAKER implementation applies MadCharts' published Baseline framework to OANDA Gold. Direction is established before execution, then price must pull back into the zone between the 50 EMA and 50 SMA while the 9 EMA remains correctly aligned with the 18 EMA and the full Baseline. A valid signal candle closes back through the fast averages and the position is triggered beyond its high or low. MadCharts grades clean multi-timeframe alignment as an A setup and reduced alignment as a B setup, with lower risk for the B grade. Protection remains beyond the adverse setup structure plus the Gold buffer; the position is never widened after entry. Profits are managed around qualifying Exhaustion Areas, first reducing exposure, then protecting breakeven and retaining a final structural runner.
