TASK FOR MERLIN: From the title, channel and your knowledge of this trader/method, identify the strategy being taught. Judge it for OUR use: we scalp fast (15s-7m charts), long or short, targets set by E8 sacred geometry BEFORE entry. State what the method gets right, where it is weak, and exactly how E8 node/rhythm logic would improve on it. Verdict PROMISING only if a concrete, testable edge exists that we can code into the Replay Bench. **SAME-WINDOW EFFECT:** Over the current trade window, the ORB+ATR filter would have added no direct trades — our scalps on 5m–7m charts operate far inside the opening range window (typically first 30–60 minutes).
