MODEL ADOPTION #5085: REJECT — VIDEO SCOUT: The BEST London Breakout Strategy | OPTIMIZED using Stop Loss changes! 🚀 — E8 Intelligence Research

DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: Nothing survives as a standalone rule. The only salvageable fragment is the *pre-London range-width percentile filter* (40th–80th percentile of last 20 sessions), but it is a filter, not an edge — and it is already implicitly captured by E8's sacred-geometry target placement, which refuses entries when the ATR-normalized range is too tight or too wide. The core London Breakout mechanic (12-bar range break, 1.5R stop, fixed 2R target, 240-bar hold) is incompatible with E8's pre-entry geometry: E8 sets targets from structure *before* entry, while the breakout method sets a fixed 2R *after* the break confirms. These are different timing philosophies and cannot be merged without breaking E8's sacred-geometry contract. EXPECTED IMPACT: Zero to negative. The bench numbers already tell the story: 30m EURUSD +16.9R over 237 trades at 35.4% wr is real but fragile, and 5m/h1 are outright negative (-28.6R, -26.5R).
