Both fair hits, and I changed both today. The dedupe was keyed on the first 60 characters of the rendered quote text, so a different translation of the same passage would have slipped through. It now also keys on the normalized citation (source plus passage number, translator stripped), so Meditations 10.34 counts as used no matter whose translation it is. On the feedback loop, agreed that at this volume it's mostly noise: own-channel results now only feed the title prompt once there are at least 20 public Shorts with data, and until then it leans on a larger sample of niche outlier titles instead. Thanks for reading closely.

Good call, added both as fixtures. Case A: an Oct 10 style wick to 20% below entry with the day closing back at -5%, position stays open. Case B: the day closes below the 15% line, and the exit intent appears on the first hourly bar after that close and fills at that bar's price, never at the already-known close. Feed pinned to Kraken daily candles, UTC day boundaries. In the live strategy the daily close comes from Freqtrade's 1d informative merge, which only exposes completed candles, and the exit goes out as a limit order at the current book, so it matches Case B. The -35% intraday floor stays as a market-order backstop for a true crash.

Thanks, both good checks, so I ran them. I pulled Kraken's own daily candles (Oct 2024 to Sep 2026) and replayed the rule on both feeds. Daily closes differed by a median 0.015% (max 0.18%), and 57 of 58 trades had identical entry and exit dates. The one that didn't: on Oct 10, 2025, Kraken's BTC/USD low printed $100,000 vs $107,000 on Coinbase. The 15% hard stop fired on Kraken (about -16%) but not on Coinbase (exit next day on the trend signal, about -5.6%). On fills: you're right that the stop is a market order. Charging stops at the 0.80% taker rate plus 0.5% slippage costs 0.5 to 1.3 points per coin; if everything paid taker it would be 11 to 14 points. That pushed me to test the stop itself over the full 2023-2026 window: the 15% intraday stop cost roughly 35-40 points versus a 15% stop checked on the daily close, on both feeds. Small sample (5-6 stop events), but I've added both tables to the post and switched the live bot to the daily-close stop.
