Strategy Lab
Prop-firm strategy research, ranked by survival first. The current best shelf anchor is the MNQ/MES DBP Morning Filter Router: a demo-gated candidate with strong funded survival math, but still blocked from paid-eval automation until fresh live data and one supervised paper bracket are proven.
Each strategy has a deeper dashboard and PDF research brief.
Paid releases will include parameters, code, and execution notes.
Use the shelf like a filter.
The shelf is sorted by decision quality: current demo candidates first, then archived routers, then free study examples. Live automation is not claimed until broker-connected paper logs prove fills, timestamps, brackets, and fail-closed behavior.
Current decision sheet
Best current routeable candidate: MNQ/MES DBP Morning Filter Router. It keeps 556 trades from the detector-ready opening-structure portfolio and skips one DBP open-drive reclaim slice during 08:00-08:59 entry time to reduce failure-tail risk. It is a site candidate and demo candidate, not paid-eval automation yet.
| Model | Status | Trades | Freq | Win | Exp | PF | Eval | Funded | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MNQ/MES DBP Morning Filter Router | Demo candidate | 556 | 3.56/wk | 60.8% | +0.383R | 2.06 | 74.33% pass / 26d median | 98.69% payout | Current best anchor; blocked only by live-data/paper-bracket proof |
| Strict Funded Observation Guard | Internal watchlist | 350 | 2.25/wk | 64.9% | +0.285R | 1.80 | 57.6% pass / 86d median | 95.3% payout | Good funded survival; not eval automation yet |
| Raw Detector-Ready Book | Research context only | 620 | 3.98/wk | 65.7% | +0.389R | 2.30 | 90.8% pass before strict route | 99.8% payout before strict route | Useful, but not the orderable result |
| No-Leak Prop Anchor | Corrected research anchor | 605 | 3.88/wk | 64.6% | +0.285R | 1.85 | 89.2% pass / 61d median | 99.7% payout | Keep as audit anchor; no live account yet |
| MES Power-Hour Positive Add-On | Rejected: leakage audit | 26 add-on rows | Outcome-filtered | Invalid | Invalid | Invalid | Do not promote | Do not automate | Rebuild only with pre-entry regime labels |
| MNQ Prior-Day Sweep 4R Sleeve | Internal watchlist | 55 | 0.36/wk | 32.7% | +0.529R | 1.71 | Improves speed only as tiny-risk sleeve | Strong but sparse | Keep researching; not standalone |
| MNQ Rolling Sweep 1.75R | Rejected for routing | 163 | 1.04/wk | 49.7% | +0.226R | 1.39 | Worse than anchor after strict stress | Not enough portfolio value | Detector passed; route failed |
| PBX Pullback Expansion | Mutation family only | 55-98 | Sparse | 32-38% | +0.20R range | ~1.3 | Did not beat anchor | Funded behavior acceptable | Modify, do not sell |
What this means: the current best anchor is no longer the older strict 350-trade observation guard. The DBP morning-filter router has better public shelf stats, stronger funded survival, and a detector patch that can be observed live.
Current robustness gate: 556 trades, 60.8% win rate, +0.383R expectancy, 2.06 profit factor, 5.63R historical max drawdown, 74.33% 44-day pass, and 98.69% funded60 payout under the safe/default governor.
Current blocker: the launch gate is still NO-GO for paid evaluation because fresh current data, one fresh accepted signal, and one supervised paper bracket have not been proven.
Prop account timing: use this for paper/demo observation first. Buying an evaluation before the paper-bracket gate passes would be testing platform plumbing with real challenge risk.
Research Archive
Archive context: older candidates are retained for comparison and evidence review. They are not the current automation anchor unless they pass the newer no-leak audit, local paper rehearsal, and broker-connected paper observation gates.

Practical recommendation: paper-test the governed filtered prior-sweep candidate before any live account. The confirmed gate is frozen: early NY-open signals only, pre-entry regime contains positive, $225 eval risk, $125 funded risk, max three trades per day, $400 daily stop, $650 daily lock, and half risk after $800 modeled drawdown.
Exact 50K rule update: the governed version was confirmed across 15,000 paths per row against Topstep-style and Tradeify Select Flex 50K rule models. Base pass + payout held near 97.8%-98.0%, random missed-fill plus extra-cost stress held near 95.4%-95.6%, and p99 evaluation drawdown stayed around $1,634-$1,650. This promotes it to demo automation candidate, but not live-funded ready until broker fill logging and intraday breach monitoring are verified.
Demo package status: a paper-prep package is staged with live-safe signal replay, order-intent replay, governor-state template, fill-log schema, kill-switch rules, and acceptance checklist. The live-safe files contain 455 replay rows and intentionally exclude outcome fields such as result, MAE, net R, and hold time.
Observation harness: replay validation processed 455 live-safe signals with zero order or fill events. A separate fail-closed test blocked 80/80 signals when the news calendar was unavailable. This is observation-ready, not broker-routing ready.
Two-phase prop policy: the best current eval-to-funded route is anchor at $250 eval risk, then M1 Active RTH at $125 funded risk after passing. In 20,000 modeled paths this produced 81.8% pass + payout, 2.3% eval fail, 0.04% funded fail after pass, and 105 median trading days on successful paths.
New research branch: the strongest mixed policy uses the Open-Drive Reclaim sleeve for evaluation, then switches to the M1 State Router for funded mode. In 10,000 modeled base paths it produced 84.7% pass + payout, 2.0% eval fail, 0.05% funded fail after pass, and 102 median trading days.
Risk frontier: the cleaner aggressive sleeve now uses Open-Drive Reclaim variant 066 at $275 eval risk, then M1 State Router at $125 funded risk. In 20,000 paths it reached 87.9% pass + payout, 2.9% eval fail, 98 median trading days, and 80.4% pass + payout under miss-every-7 stress. $300+ is not the default because breach risk rises too much.
Filtered prior-sweep update: the frozen positive-regime prior-sweep filter reached 89.99% pass + payout, 2.53% eval fail, 95 median trading days, 89.6% miss-every-7, 82.6% miss-every-5, and 80.0% random missed-fill plus extra-cost survival across 20,000 paths. It is promoted to demo candidate, not automation candidate, until split-period validation holds.
Rule update: strict live-guard simulation is now the default prop gate. Raw detector-book pass figures are retained only as research context.
Detector gate status: complete for the 620-row signal book and the midday sweep add-on. Strict routing currently accepts 410 trades. Next gate is observation-only forward logging before paper routing.

Free B- research previewPassing faster without breaking the edge.
The current flagship is slow because it waits for rare, clean setups. To improve eval speed, the right move is not forcing low-quality trades. The right move is adding independent validated modules that trade different conditions while sharing the same prop guard.
- Clean path: add one or two independent modules with non-overlapping market states.
- Riskier path: size 2 ES for the challenge, then drop size after passing.
- Bad path: loosen filters until it trades daily and destroys the drawdown profile.
