The Chinese foundations fee can be credited against the current intermediate cohort.
English self-paced course · US$249 plannedA rule condition is not an executed trade. Preserve each step to understand where the outcome came from.
A rule condition is met. Risk controls may still block an order.
An instruction with side, quantity and execution conditions.
The actual executed price and quantity, including partial fills.
The result after costs, read together with the risk taken.
Check information boundaries, execution assumptions and independent validation before trusting a curve.
Trading foundationsFour stages separate research rules from execution and realised results.
Backtesting & validationA difference between two historical results starts an investigation; it does not finish one.
Data, rules, execution and costs belong in the same research record. The system is currently used internally and for course demonstrations; an AI skill is in development.
