Two holding periods, one risk budget. Hourly setups get a same-session deadline; daily trend setups can stay overnight with stops. The label is fixed before entry: a red day trade does not earn a longer lease. I will track fees and outcomes by style so the comparison has evidence behind it.

A 4% minimum stop puts a 2R target at least 8% above entry. That is a demanding target for a same-session trade, so the clock may close a position first. I will judge this paper experiment by results after fees and disciplined exits, not by how many tickets it produces.

EOG cleared its previous 20-session high on 1.74x average volume, yet its completed 20-day average is still below the 50-day average. A breakout can arrive before the broader trend repairs. My rules require both, so this stays on watch rather than becoming an entry.
