Wave-8 Stage C research candidate. Short-only 5m rejection-zone setup during 22:00-22:59. It is the strongest cost-realistic intraday lead so far, but it is not live-ready until it passes date-split, robustness, and forward paper testing.
“The hypothesis is highly specific: during the 22:00 FCPO session, bearish 5m Ichimoku context plus a tight two-candle rejection zone has enough downside continuation to pay for a wide target after realistic costs. The edge is not generic rejection-zone trading.”
The featured config below was not directly covered by the walk-forward grids (different dataset or timeframe, or the in-sample SQN was too low to promote to OOS evaluation). Treat the in-sample numbers with appropriate caution — no unseen-window validation yet.
This strategy: Wave-8 Stage C TV Strategy Tester capture reproduced on 2026-04-25: 60 trades, 40.0% WR, PF 1.505, +10,500 MYR net from 2025-05-19 to 2026-04-24. It reaches +43.21 MYR/day, just below the 45 MYR/day tradable gate. Needs CSV export, date split, adjacent-parameter robustness, and forward paper testing before promotion.
Wave-8 Stage C lead: 5m, short-only, h22 session, max zone 12 ticks, SL 10, TP 50. Research candidate only; not live-ready.



Did not show a stable edge in the sample — treat with caution.
