Entry & Signal Rules
01
Trade Only Constitution-Approved Signals
Only enter positions that score 80+ (BULL), 82+ (CAUTION), or 85+ (BEAR) on the overnight scanner. No exceptions, no gut-feel trades outside the system.
Both
02
Entry Window — 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM ET
Optimal entries only in the first 90-minute window after the open volatility settles. Avoids gap fills and false breakouts from the open.
Operator Enforced
03
Minimum R/R Ratio of 1.5:1
Every signal must offer at least 1.5x reward for every 1x of risk. Signals failing this check are automatically rejected by the scanner before they reach the dashboard.

04
Market Regime Awareness
Signal thresholds rise with market risk — BULL 80/70, CAUTION 82/72, BEAR 85/75. SPY vs 20-day MA determines regime each night. Cash is always a valid position in BEAR.

Risk & Stop Loss Rules
05
Stop Loss Armed on Every Trade
Every position carries an OCO bracket order with a stop-limit at the scanner's calculated stop level. No position ever runs without a stop. Stops are set below key support with a 2% buffer.
System Enforced
06
Maximum Stop Distance — 8% from Entry
Stop loss may not be placed more than 8% below entry price. Prevents oversized risk on wide-ranging setups. Clarke rejects any trade where stop distance exceeds this limit.
System Enforced
07
2% Account Risk Cap Per Trade
Maximum dollar risk on any single trade is 2% of total account equity. Position sizing is calculated from this — shares = max risk ÷ risk per share. Hard cap, no override.
System Enforced
08
Daily Loss Limit — 3% of Account
If realized losses on any trading day reach 3% of account equity, Clarke locks all new trading for the rest of that session. The overlay activates automatically. Resume the next day.

Profit Management Rules
09
Profit Ladder — 25/25/50
At Target 1 (1.5x risk): sell 25%, stop moves to breakeven — trade is now risk-free. At Target 2 (3x risk): sell another 25%, stop moves to Target 1 — locking real profit. Remaining 50% trails with stop raises every 5% gain.
System Enforced
10
Trailing Stop — Raise Every 5% Gain
After both ladder targets are hit, the remaining 50% position has its stop raised automatically every 5% of additional gain. Stops only move up — never down. Lets winners run while locking in profit.
System Enforced
11
Maximum Hold Period — 20 Days
No position held longer than 20 calendar days. Prevents capital being tied up in stalled trades. If a position hasn't reached Target 1 within 20 days, exit and redeploy into fresh setups.
Operator Enforced
Capital Deployment Rules
12
80% Deployment Cap — 20% Reserve
Maximum 80% of account equity may be deployed at any time. 20% is always held in reserve — dry powder for high-conviction opportunities and protection against black swan events.
System Enforced
13
Fundamental Floor — Rule 12 Disqualification
Stocks with declining revenue (3+ quarters), D/E ratio above 2.0, institutional ownership below 20%, or negative analyst consensus are automatically disqualified — regardless of technical score. Financials are truth.
System Enforced

8 Consecutive Compliant Weeks Before Live Capital
Paper trading must demonstrate 8 consecutive weeks of Constitution-compliant operation before any real capital is deployed. No rule violations, no accidental shorts, no manual overrides. The system must earn trust.
