### Which decision was available at the time?

Before reading the answers, calculate the entry ceiling from a $200 signal close. Do $202.00 and $202.01 pass? When does a Monday entry reach its five-day time exit? Does a Thursday setup permit a second position?

The 1% ceiling is $202.00. Equality passes; $202.01 fails. Cash, stop and execution checks still apply.

For the opening-price study, Monday through Friday are five full holding-day bars. The time exit is Saturday's opening; a stop or target can end the position earlier.

A Thursday setup cannot add to an open position. The indicator has no position state, so use the journal to decide eligibility. Require a fresh signal on a later bar after the exit day before considering re-entry.
