Hypothesis
Long-only OP (Optimism) 4-hour strategy on BINANCE USD-M futures. Direct analog of the landed BTC/ETH/SOL/BNB/AVAX/XRP (Sharpe 1.84 just confirmed at risk_review)/APT/ICP/ARB FourHourVolumeBreakoutLong family — applied to OP. Pivoting to 4H avoids daily-bar audit-refill issues. Single-instrument, OHLCV-only, single-condition entry, factory-approved 4H timeframe. The 2.0x volume surge trigger keeps trade frequency high enough (~30-60/year) for valid walk-forward optimization — explicitly avoiding the low-frequency channel-breakout pathology that killed the ADA daily multi-week trend strategy.
Backtest and paper results are hypothetical. Trading involves risk of loss.
