Verification
Verification log
Every behaviour we name in public has cleared the same bar first. This is the record of what cleared it, and when.
A pattern is easy to assert and hard to prove. Before a behaviour gets a name here, it has to hold up on data we can check, stay separable from the move that looks like it, and survive the test that would have caught it if it were wrong. The method is on the methodology page. This page is the ledger it produces.
Stop-widening
verified 17 July 2026- What it is
- A losing trade whose risk grows instead of shrinking.
- What it is not
- Moving a stop to break-even on a trade that is working.
- What it had to show
- Separate cleanly from the move above, on trades where both appear.
- Where it appears
- Named in the pattern set, surfaced in coaching when it fires.
Patterns are added here one at a time, as each one earns it. A short list is the point.
