A useful constraint

Do not optimize the chart after every losing trade.

Pick one execution timeframe and one context timeframe. Finish a meaningful sample before changing either. The guides show what to measure at each pace; they do not promise a profitable timeframe.

For deeper samples

Use the full archive with Pro.

Replay across different months, tag the setup, and compare results by timeframe instead of judging one good week.
