MODEL ADOPTION #1003: REJECT — TG AUTO: New edge proposed: pivot_point_reversal_absorption — E8 Intelligence Research

DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: The pivot_point_reversal_absorption rule is not compatible with E8 geometry timing. E8 scalps on 15s–7m sacred geometry targets, not on 20-bar pivot structures that require multi-bar confirmation. The 3-bar reversal window alone can span 3–15 minutes in 1m data, which is outside the E8 entry window and would cause constant misalignment with the Gods-Clock rhythm. Additionally, the 60% lower shadow filter is a static ratio that does not account for spread, slippage, or the noise of fast scalping—it will produce false positives on micro-wicks and false negatives on genuine reversals where the wick is shorter due to tight spreads. EXPECTED IMPACT: Zero to negative. In the current trade window, zero entries triggered. Over 3–6 months, the pattern may produce 5–15 signals per pair, but at E8's typical 50–100 trades per day per pair, this edge would contribute <0.1% of trades. Even at a 60% win rate, the impact on overall win percentage is negligible. The restrict Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series.
