MODEL ADOPTION #1064: REJECT — TG AUTO: New edge proposed: night_session_asia_gap_fade — E8 Intelligence Research

DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: The rule is concrete and testable, but incompatible with E8 geometry timing. E8 scalps on 15s–7m windows using sacred geometry entry triggers, not fixed UTC clock windows. The candidate forces a single Monday 01:00 UTC entry, which cannot be aligned with E8's dynamic rhythm. Additionally, the 0.5 ATR target is a fixed price level, not a geometry-derived exit — this would override the existing target logic and introduce a conflicting execution paradigm. EXPECTED IMPACT: Zero PnL delta in the current window (as Merlin already confirmed). Over 3–6 months, at most 1–3 trades/month, but each would require overriding E8's entry timing and target logic. Even if win rate were 60%, the disruption to the existing model's coherence would likely degrade overall performance more than the marginal gain. RISK: - Timing mismatch: E8's 15s–7m scalps would be abandoned for a fixed weekly window, breaking the model's continuous rhythm. - False signals from genuine news ga Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
