A LONG-SHORT, single-instrument, pure-OHLCV intraday CONTINUATION strategy on DOTUSDT.BINANCE USD-M perpetual using 1-HOUR bars — the next per-asset instance of the factory's VALIDATED and PROMOTED impulse-bar-continuation family (ETH-1H ~1.40 promoted, SOL-1H ~0.69 paper), applying the EXACT validated single-impulse trigger to the deep-history asset that best fits the now-legible winning discriminator. The family's boundary is mapped on two axes: it needs HIGH VOLATILITY (so intraday thrust moves are large enough to clear the ~0.10% round-trip fee — BTC failed here, fee-bound-zero across USD-M/HL/CoinM) AND CLEAN TREND-PERSISTENCE (so thrusts continue rather than mean-revert — LINK/XRP/DOGE failed here, news/legal-driven whipsaw). DOT satisfies both: a high-volatility L1 with the DEEPEST clean history of the untested candidates (Binance USD-M listing Aug 2020, ~5.5yr of dense 1H bars for a fully-populated walk-forward), consistently liquid, and structurally trend/flow-driven rather than single-event-spike-driven. It deliberately AVOIDS every dead/blocked path proven this session: NOT BTC (fee-bound, dead all triggers/venues — stop porting), NOT a funding/basis/carry/cross-venue strategy (entire family fee-dominated/event-sparse, confirmed across BTC/ETH/SOL), NOT relative/cross-sectional momentum (decayed), NOT a daily-trend basket refinement (correlated with promoted AbsoluteMomentum), NOT options (engine), NOT reversion (dead), NOT sub-1H (fee-dead), NOT HL intraday (data wall). It is distinct from the in-flight AVAX-1H (different asset) and from my ETH/SOL ORB and ETH-4H variants (different asset and the canonical 1H single-impulse trigger). To pre-empt the LINK overfit failure (its impulse_mult was left unbounded and the optimizer fled to a sparse corner), it bakes in the SOL-sibling hardening: impulse_mult CLAMPED [1.0, 1.8], strong_frac FROZEN, <=4 tunables, flat-between-signals. Engine-safe: discrete enter-once/exit-once, single position, hard-capped notional, no continuous rebalance/vol-scaling.
