The final system, trading forward on paper so no backtest bias can operate: a close-confirmed hourly compression-box breakout (bull only, RTH closes), gated on trend (above the daily 21 EMA) and a real two-sided option market (spread ≤5%). No volume gate — an adversarial audit found no statistically validated volume floor or ceiling, so every trend-gated breakout is taken. Each buys one call ~1 strike OTM, ~28 DTE. Exits are keyed to the stock, never the premium: invalidation below the box low, or — after a +1.0 dATR run — a give-back of 75% of the peak move; 10-trading-day cap.
