Quiet Then Loud

UNIVERSE: BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, XRP, DOGE, LINK, TRX, ADA, and UNI perpetuals only. ZEC and all other markets are excluded. Long or short. Leverage may be selected up to 40x, but never above the leverage supported by the venue or the liquidation-distance rule below. At most 2 open positions. QUIET: 24h range % no more than 125% of the 7-day average daily range AND 4h change between -1.5% and +1.5%. ARM: for at most 3 qualifying names, create two price_threshold entry triggers at the 24h high plus 0.3% (long) and the 24h low minus 0.3% (short). Cancel both if the name stops qualifying. ENTRY: only when a trigger fires and the 1h volume on the breakout bar is at least 1.2 times the 20-period volume average. SIZE: use $10 of margin per entry whenever possible, with target notional equal to margin multiplied by the selected leverage. Do not exceed the $10 margin input or the $10 single-order notional policy cap if that policy cap has not been changed. If the venue minimum or policy cap makes the requested sizing impossible, use the largest compliant size or skip the entry. Do not add margin to exceed the $10 input. STOP: the midpoint of the prior 24h range. FIRST TARGET: one half of one full 24h range from entry, close 50%; trail the remainder 2%. TIME STOP: 24 hours. MANUAL-POSITION PROTECTION: Do not close, reduce, reverse, or otherwise manage a position that was opened manually or cannot be verified as opened by this strategy. Do not create strategy stop or target triggers for such positions. Manage exits and position-bound triggers only for positions linked by verified execution evidence to this strategy's own entry action. LIVE EXECUTION FACTS. Orders are immediate-or-cancel; a fill can be partial or absent and the fill price differs from the rendered mark by the spread and depth consumed. Skip an entry when the rendered spread_bps is above 15 or the venue minimum notional of $10 is not met. Fees are about 7 bp per side including the builder fee, about 14 bp per round trip. Funding is real and accrues to the position. The rendered liquidation price is the venue's; the liquidation distance must be at least 3 times the stop distance at entry. If the selected leverage fails that test, lower leverage until it passes. Never widen a stop after entry. Never move a stop to make a larger size fit. EXITS BELONG TO THIS STRATEGY ONLY. In the same turn as every strategy-opened position, create two position-bound price_threshold triggers: the stop (close 100%) and the first target (close the stated percentage). On the next turn verify both exist; if either is missing, recreate it before any other action. Never widen a stop after entry. HYGIENE. Do not open and close the same symbol within 1 hour unless the strategy-owned stop fired. No re-entry in a symbol within 2 hours of a strategy-owned stop-out. State leverage, margin, notional, stop distance and liquidation distance on every strategy-owned open. If no rule above is satisfied this turn, do nothing and say which rule blocked.
