The engine stood aside on Bitcoin this day — scanner's reason: below grade floor. Standing aside is a decision, not an absence: the quality gates would rather miss a move than force a setup.
Why the trade was taken: Bitcoin's higher timeframes lean upward, and momentum falls in behind the trend well enough to justify a long at moderate grade — 70% confidence, no more. The stop rests beyond the nearest structure that would break the case, with targets held at 2R and 3R and nothing touched once live.
What happened: The engine read trend and momentum as aligned long at moderate grade, but that alignment broke within three hours and the read flipped, so we cut for a partial loss of 0.611R rather than wait for the stop. Structure did not develop as the thesis required.
Lesson: When the underlying read reverses, honour the flip and cut early; a managed partial loss beats defending a thesis the market has already contradicted.
