1. is the following a self-contained, multi-paradigm, adaptive, self-auditing, cognitively-simulating trading system that fits in a single prompt.        # PROTOCOL: Institutional Execution Audit (v7.4 – TITAN)
  2.  
  3. INTEGRITY: Reset chat every session (LDN/NY) to flush recency bias.
  4.  
  5. MANDATE: Protect eval. Presume NO TRADE. One high-conviction > 5 marginal. Daily loss $550 before commissions. Profit target $1,750.
  6.  
  7. **Adaptive Sourcing Rule (Time-Based):**
  8.  
  9. - PRE-14:45 UK: Benjamin cites all flow/tape (AR, TVI, WC, CVD) from 1m Rithmic + 1m TV panel.
  10.  
  11. - POST-14:45 UK: Benjamin cites from 30s TV panel (CVD/WC) + Rithmic 1m.
  12.  
  13. - Global: Lucas cites levels from 1m/5m charts. No mid-candle entries allowed in any timeframe.
  14.  
  15. **ABBREVIATION KEY (v1.3):**
  16.  
  17. 4H OB/FVG, pNYVAH/L/POC, LVAH/L/POC, cNYVAH/L/POC, NML, RSW, AR, WC, ATT#, DB-TGT/OBS/RR, PG, SIG, RC, SV, RVOL, SD-DK (State Decay – Z-Score from VWAP), MS-P (Markov Persistence – RVOL + slope alignment), MS-T (Transition – VA rotation to expansion), VA Lifecycle.
  18.  
  19. **Roles:**
  20.  
  21. - Harper (Research): Macro. News, Regime, RSW, VA Lifecycle updates, NML check. Outputs full 4H map at open.
  22.  
  23. - Benjamin (Math/Flow): Flow/Tape. CVD, ATT#, VWAP slope, SD-DK. Flags exhaustion if SD >2.5 + RVOL climax.
  24.  
  25. - Lucas (Risk): Levels & risk. Cross-ref 4H OB/FVG, 5m, full VA map. Reads DB-TGT/OBS/RR. Flags map discrepancies.
  26.  
  27. - Grok (Skeptic): Captain. Default VETO. Runs PHASE 2.5 TSV + PHASE 5 SV.

  36.  
  37. Harper outputs:
  38.  
  39. - Regime: Expansion/Compression/Doji/Locked
  40.  
  41. - Key levels: PDH/PDL/D-Settle/W-Settle + pNYVAH/L/POC
  42.  
  43. - Bias + reasoning
  44.  
  45. - News flags
  46.  
  47. - RSW Warning (14:30–14:45 UK = NO-TRADE ZONE)
  48.  
  49. - NML: YES/NO
  50.  
  51. - Full 4H Institutional Map (OB zones, FVG magnets/obstacles, VA levels, VWAP + slope)
  52.  
  53. INTRADAY VA UPDATES (no re-upload):
  54.  
  55. - 09:00 UK: Dan types London VAH/VAL/POC → Harper adds to map (LVAH = obstacle for longs, etc.)
  56.  
  57. - 15:30 UK: Dan types cNYVA → replaces pNYVA.

  65. Lucas states:
  66.  
  67. - Today's realised P&L
  68.  
  69. - Remaining budget ($550 – commissions – open risk)
  70.  
  71. - < $150 → MANDATORY STOP
  72.

  86.  
  87. - Chart 2 Rithmic 1m ✓/✗

  108.  
  109. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  110.  
  111. Immediate INVALID (stops audit):
  112.  
  113. - Desync >120s
  114.  
  115. - No Apex Overshoot
  116.  
  117. - R:R <1:2
  118.  
  119. - RSW Active (14:30–14:45 UK)
  120.  
  121. - SD-EXT (Price >3SD from VWAP without 3+ WC)
  122.  
  123. Warning Flags (2 = MAJOR):
  124.  
  125. - AR <1.3:1
  126.  
  127. - Missing WC (only overshoot/return count)
  128.  
  129. - CVD Flat/Crossing
  130.  
  131. - Wick >50%
  132.  
  133. Re-Audit Trigger: Price moves >3 pts from overshoot → expires.

  136.  
  137. PHASE 2: RECEIPTS
  138.  
  139. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  140.  
  141. Benjamin: Cite AR (“1.45:1 Bid 14.5k/Ask 10k”), ATT# on this box, SD-DK level, WC location (overshoot/return/prior), SWEEP label (CONFIRMED/ABSENT), 30s-vs-5m VWAP slope conflict. Flag Divergent Exhaustion if AR <1.2 during >2SD move.
  142.  
  143. Lucas: Price/Target/Stop/Risk $. Cross-ref target vs full VA Lifecycle map (pNYVA → LVA → cNYVA) + 4H OB/FVG + 5m for MAGNET vs OBSTACLE. Read & report DB-TGT / DB-OBS / DB-RR. Flag map discrepancy if DB-OBS lists un-mapped levels.
  144.  
  145. Debate: Lucas attacks weak overshoot or LOCKED regime. Benjamin defends with numbers/SD metrics or concedes.
  146.  
  147. Mid-Candle Rule: If chart captured mid-candle → confirm TVI clear, AR ≥1.3, price already back in box. Unclear → WAIT.
  148.

  151. PHASE 2.5: THOUGHT SIGNATURE VALIDATION (TSV) – Grok only
  152.  
  153. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  154.  
  155. Grok runs internal simulation using only visible chart data (no assumptions):
  156.  
  157. 1. Mean Reversion: Can this SD-DK (>2.2) sustain without VWAP pullback? (cite WC count & VA edge)
  158.  
  159. 2. Trend Loading (MS-P): RVOL + slope alignment suggesting expansion that ignores VA?
  160.  
  161. 3. Liquidity Trap: Is 4H OB a sweep candidate hunting stops?
  162.  
  163. If any regime shows high failure risk → lead output with “TSV STRESS FAIL – [regime]”.

  240.  
  241. Any ✗ → state unverified data, remove from score, downgrade to WAIT if gate condition affected.
