HexEntry Confirmations (Critical / Kill‑Switch)
These confirmations are designed to stop bad entries before they happen. If any mandatory confirmation fails, the entry is invalid — log the relevant error code and stand down.
Minute‑Lock: Context = M15, Execution = M5. Trading outside this frame is NSR (not standard).
HXC Namespace (HXC01–HXC12)
HXC confirmations are setup‑agnostic. They act as a kill‑switch and map into the six setups through a fixed matrix.

Stage Guide (what each HXC does)
| # | Stage | Code | Unique Confirmation | Parent Setups | Short Description | Pass / Fail Method |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Context | HXC01 | State Lock (NSR) | All Setups | Only trade when the market regime is objectively clear (trend up / trend down / range). | Pass: regime can be proven by structure. Fail: unclear regime → log NSR and stand down. |
| 2 | Level | HXC02 | Level Validity (NSR) | All Setups | Your level/zone must be real (key high/low, demand/supply, or valid range edge), not noise. | Pass: level is identifiable and has clean prior reaction/structure. Fail: guessing/noise → NSR. |
| 3 | Risk | HXC03 | SL‑Fit ≤ 10$ (NSR) | All Setups | Stop placement must match the fixed 10$ invalidation constraint. | Pass: invalidation is defined first and |Entry−Invalidation| ≤ 10$. Fail: >10$ or no invalidation → NSR. |
| 4 | Range | HXC04 | Range Zone Lock (MID) | RGT / RBT | In a range you only trade the outer zones (Top/Bottom 20%). Mid‑range is forbidden. | Pass: entry is inside Top/Bottom 20% (prefer within ±1$ of the boundary). Fail: mid‑band entry → MID. |
| 5 | Safety | HXC05 | CFK Stabilization (CFK) | Pull / Range | If the move into the level/edge is sharp, you must wait for stabilization before entry. | Pass: stabilization criteria are met (cool‑off / overlap / contraction). Fail: entry before stabilization → CFK. |
| 6 | Trigger | HXC06 | Rejection Close (Pull/Range) | BUP / BRP / RGT / RBT | A pull/range entry requires a confirmed rejection close. | Pass: rejection candle closes with direction + midpoint confirmation. Fail: no confirmed close → NSR. |
| 7 | Execution | HXC07 | Order Type Lock (MIR/NSR) | All Setups | Order type must match the setup (stop/limit/market) to avoid MIR/NSR violations. | Pass: correct order type is used for the chosen setup. Fail: wrong order type → MIR or NSR (depending on case). |
| 8 | Structure | HXC08 | No V‑Shape Base/Compression (NSR) | BUB / BRB | Break setups require a base/compression before the break (no V‑shape breaks). | Pass: a base exists (≥3 execution candles with overlap). Fail: V‑shape break → NSR. |
| 9 | Trigger | HXC09 | Break Close Validity (UCB) | BUB / BRB | A break entry requires a valid break candle close beyond the level (not a wick break). | Pass: close beyond level + body ≥50% + close in top/bottom 25%. Fail: pre‑close/wick → UCB. |
| 10 | Filter | HXC10 | Big Break Candle Filter ≥ 8$ (NSR) | BUB / BRB | A huge break candle blocks direct entry. Only a controlled retest may be traded. | Pass: if candle ≥8$, you wait for retest and still respect SL‑Fit ≤10$. Fail: direct chase entry → NSR. |
| 11 | Confirmation | HXC11 | Acceptance after Break (UCB/NSR) | BUB / BRB | After the break, acceptance is mandatory (second close or retest‑hold confirmation). | Pass: acceptance confirmed. Fail: no acceptance → UCB/NSR. |
| 12 | Discipline | HXC12 | REB Block (REB) | All Setups | No re‑entry after BE/SL unless a fresh setup forms (new structure, new trigger). | Pass: a new setup is present. Fail: re‑entering the same idea/level → REB. |
Kill‑Switch Decision Path (5 steps)
State Lock
Does the market regime (trend or range) match the chosen setup?
Level / Zone Validity
Validate the key level/zone or the range edge zones (Top/Bottom 20%).
Safety & Structure
Require stabilization after sharp moves (pull/range) or a base/compression before breaks.
Trigger Confirmation
Confirm rejection close (pullback) or a valid break close (break).
Risk & Discipline
Enforce SL‑Fit (10$), acceptance after breaks, and the strict no‑reentry rule (REB).
Place Order
You place an order only after every required confirmation above has passed. If you cannot name the setup and confirmations, you do not click.

Consistency Audit
✓ Each of the 6 setups has exactly 5 kill‑switch confirmations (no ambiguity, coach‑judgeable).
✓ Break setups (BUB/BRB) require Break Close and Acceptance (UCB protection via HXC09/HXC11).
✓ Range setups (RGT/RBT) are Limit‑Only and use Zone Lock (Top/Bottom 20%) (MIR/MID protection via HXC07/HXC04).
✓ All setups have structural invalidation and are controlled by SL‑Fit ≤ 10$ (HXC03).
✓ CFK Stabilization blocks entries after sharp moves (HXC05).
✓ REB Block blocks re‑entry after BE/SL without a new setup (HXC12).
✓ Minute‑Lock is explicit: Context=M15 and Execution=M5. Outside this frame → NSR.
✓ A decision path + matrix exists to make execution a single, consistent workflow.
