Approaches
Same entries and stop for every card — the only thing that differs is what happens once price is in the trade. The large R figure is net of fees (taker = 0.055% per side, maker = 0.020% per side), the same ranking metric as the strategy ranking. Default view is each combo's historically best target among 1R / 1.5R / 2R / 2.5R / 3R. Use the toggle to compare every card at a fixed multiple; combo drill-downs stay at 2R.
Fixed Target Exit
Target held at a fixed R multiple above/below entry for the life of the trade. Stop stays at the initial-period POC throughout — no dynamic management. This is the baseline approach used everywhere else in the analysis.
Breakeven-after-1R Exit Tested, underperforms
Identical entries and initial stop, but the stop moves to breakeven the moment price first touches +1R, keeping the same fixed target above that. MAE/MFE data showed 44.6% of eventual losers had already touched +1R before reversing — this rule was built to test whether protecting that profit early would help. It doesn't: crypto breakouts retrace through entry constantly en route to bigger moves, so this clips winners before they reach the 2R–3R zone more often than it rescues true reversals.
