FailedBreakout_Down_20D
Recent breakout failed — price closed back below breakout level NOTE (audit 2026-07-07): requires_signal_history is not implemented and the setup∩trigger donchian intersection is Mid_Range-only — the signal detects bearish drift near highs, not a verified failed breakout; semantic rework tracked as a Tranche-B issue.
Setup — what must already be true
- Donchian channel position is one of Near High / Mid Range
- EMA stack (5/10/20/50 alignment) is one of Bearish Full / Bearish Partial / Mixed
- Liquidity gate is Pass
Trigger — what fires the signal
- Donchian channel position is one of Mid Range / Near Low
- Volume vs 20-day average < 1
- Momentum trajectory (RSI + MACD direction) is one of Both Deteriorating / Mixed
Trade box & conviction bar
- Entry: market
- Stop: market exit
- Target: none (exit-managed)
- Conviction: BUY-grade at ≥ 65, STRONG at ≥ 85 — a counter-trend family, so the bar is deliberately higher than the default 55/75
- Requires signal history — it watches how a prior signal on the same name resolved.
