From August 20, the momentum rule is logged every 30 minutes with no live cash. Separate files from the breakout book.
From August 20 I log the momentum rule every 30 minutes with no real money. Files never mix with the breakout ledger. As of August 23: six names held, seven new passes.
Rule name: Setup momentum_spec. State prefix state/momentum_*.
Isolation
All artifacts use state/momentum_* prefix. Breakout paper, Alpaca paths, and D3 portfolio files are untouched.
