Condition Lifecycle Example Layout — Illustrative
Illustrative example of how a mathematical condition moves through its lifecycle — ARMED, ACTIVE, CLOSED — under our framework's rules. Not live data, not trade recommendations or advice.
ARMED · conditions forming ACTIVE · all four layers aligned CLOSED · alignment closed

This illustrates the lifecycle the engine tracks for each symbol: a condition becomes ARMED when the framework confirms a trend, ACTIVE when the symbol meets its pre-defined entry condition within that trend, and CLOSED when the trend condition ends. Members can study what the model showed at each point in time. This is an illustrative example, not live data, and not a buy/sell signal, rating, or recommendation.
