Period 1 Transparency only — pre-protocol
Apr 2023 – Oct 2024
Discovered, then tested against itself
The edge crystallized in 2023 after years of work on entry criteria, risk anchoring, regime behaviour, and operator discipline. A subset of trades — 196 calls, Apr 2023 – Oct 2024 — was posted in real time to a private Telegram channel as the original edge was being executed. That record predates the locked Falsifiability Protocol (no witness, no Stage-1 / Stage-2 gates armed, no per-trade OP-04 tagging at the time) and is published for transparency only — not as evidence.
Between 2023 and 2026 the operator continued working on this strategy — refining entry triggers, risk anchoring, and sizing rules — while also developing a separate strategy, the Ekantik Accelerator ↗. The Period 2 live record runs the refined EPIG 500 engine, published trade-by-trade under the locked protocol.
Pre-protocol record. The 196-trade block is published for transparency but is not the basis for any sustainability claim — the protocol-bound record begins in Period 2.
