Execute · Operations & procedure

The zone is not
the trade.

Conditional procedures for Route Continuation, Route Transfer, and Formation behavior. The behavior revealed at the zone — not the zone itself — determines whether a Playbook applies.

Location, reaction, procedure
Location
Where
Where is price relative to the Anchor and measured Expansion?
Reaction
What behavior
Is the test producing acceptance, rejection, or containment?
Procedure
Which Playbook
Which Playbook matches the observed state?
Every Playbook uses the same five-part structure

Consistency improves preparation without forcing identical trades.

Context
Where and under what conditions?
Confirmation
What behavior must be observed?
Participation
How is the transition engaged?
Management
How is risk handled as behavior changes?
Invalidation
What evidence cancels the premise?
A Playbook is incomplete until its invalidation is as clear as its opportunity.
Example: Route Continuation Playbook

Participate when Route Confirmation develops and directional price formation persists. Do not chase the first movement — participate only after price demonstrates Route Confirmation.
