Admitted 2026-09-21 by owner override — the replay did NOT clear the bar (n=254, PF 1.05, dd 3%, net +72): admitted on the owner's instruction of 2026-09-21: a live audition on the test account regardless of the replay; the retirement rules decide. Every other rule applies: it retires at 40 closed live trades below PF 1.0 or after 120 days, and the live record decides. The hourly bars are resampled from the IEX 5-minute feed — live and in this replay, so both read one tape — and IEX is a thinner slice of the market than the consolidated tape, so an hourly high or low can miss where the wider market actually traded. Whether a stop or a target was HIT is decided on the consolidated tape instead (N7), because that is what a resting order really fills against; a replay that checked the touch on the thin feed would quietly spare the book every stop-out IEX happened to miss. The book also holds overnight, and a broker's stop and target legs do not execute outside regular hours: it is protected during the session and exposed from 16:00 to 09:30, where a gap fills at the opening print rather than at the level — and a bar that OPENS beyond a level is booked at that open, target first, because that order was already marketable when the bell rang. When the pattern behind a resting order is invalidated the order is cancelled — in this replay and in the live runner, which is what makes the two comparable. The remaining difference is timing, not behaviour: the replay frees the slot on the first decision bin after the pattern dies, while live the cancel goes in on the next five-minute tick after that bin and has to settle at the broker first.
