How the plan reads the chart 图示说明

1. The self-adjusting rail — KAMA

It measures how efficient recent travel is: net distance divided by total bar-by-bar wiggle. Clean one-way travel → the rail tightens onto price and reacts fast. Aimless chop → it slows right down and stops chasing noise.

2. The turn — timing

We watch the rail’s slope. Rolling from down to up is a fresh up-turn (long bias); rolling from up to down is a fresh down-turn (short bias).

3. The clear-water gate — Choppiness Index

A 0–100 gauge of how murky the market is. High = range-bound washing-machine water; low = clean, one-direction water. We accept the rail’s turn only when it reads below 61.8 — skipping the muckiest chop where turns are just noise.

4. The quiet-market gate — ATR

If the range sits well below its own 50-bar average, the plan waits. Thin, listless bars make weak turns.

Risk & position rules

Protective stop: 1.5 × ATR from entry.
Target: 1.6 × the stop distance (reward-to-risk ≈ 1.6).
Sizing: a fixed 1% of balance per plan; lot size is computed from the stop distance.
Daily cap: at most 10 entries a day, auto-reset next day; one position at a time.
Watchdog: if no entry fires for 3 days, the EA prints and alerts to re-check parameters.
