Why I took it
Bought +0.06% past the pivot. Taken against two of the system's own flags: market in CORRECTION with 9 distribution days, and a stage 3 base. Fundamentals strong — EPS +103% quarterly, sales +141%, ROE 47%, RS 85. Sized down deliberately rather than skipping: 10 shares against the rulebook's 18, intended as a one-third probe to test whether the other six criteria can carry a trade when market and base stage are against it. Actual risk ₹2,720 = 0.54% of capital, versus ₹4,896 = 0.97% at full size — that is 56% of full risk, not the one third intended. A true one-third probe would have been 6 shares (₹1,632, 0.32%). Note for next time: size the probe off risk, not off rupees, since the 8% stop is the widest permitted and skews the two apart. Breakout day confirmed on volume: 4.13M vs 2.15M 50-day average (+92%), closed 3,427.70, 60-day high. Test is only worth running if the outcome is logged and allowed to move the rule. Broker check (Groww, 24 Sep): one order only — Delivery · Limit, Buy 10 @ ₹3,400.00, filled 09:38 AM on NSE. Holdings confirm avg ₹3,400.00, LTP ₹3,427.70, +₹277.00. Important caveat on rule C: the +92% volume is the full-session figure. At 09:38, 23 minutes into the day, it was not knowable — the box is satisfied in hindsight, not at entry. A GTT/trigger stop could not be verified at the broker; confirm the 3,128 stop actually exists as a live order.
