A LONG-SHORT, single-instrument, pure-OHLCV momentum-confluence trend follower on TRXUSDT.BINANCE (USD-M perpetual). Mechanism is IDENTICAL to the three strategies that actually reached paper_stage (BTC 4H+1D confluence Sharpe 1.99, ADA Sharpe 1.60, ETH TSMOM 1.06): take a directional position ONLY when a FAST (4-hour) trend signal AND a SLOW (daily) trend signal AGREE in sign; stand flat when they disagree.

A LONG-SHORT, single-instrument, pure-OHLCV momentum-confluence trend follower on TRXUSDT.BINANCE (USD-M perpetual). Mechanism is IDENTICAL to the three strategies that actually reached paper_stage (BTC 4H+1D confluence Sharpe 1.99, ADA Sharpe 1.60, ETH TSMOM 1.06): take a directional position ONLY when a FAST (4-hour) trend signal AND a SLOW (daily) trend signal AGREE in sign; stand flat when they disagree. This is deliberately NOT a new mechanism — the meta-learner has shown (L92) that bolting regime/efficiency/volatility gates onto momentum does not create edge, and (L88, L77, L45) that baskets, TSMOM books, and cross-sectional rotations are dead. The ONLY thing that survives here is slow directional confluence on a CLEAN-TRENDING large cap. The novel, falsifiable claim is about the INSTRUMENT, not the recipe: every failed symbol-swap of this family (XRP, LINK, SOL, AVAX, NEAR, DOT — all overfit/fee_edge) is a high-beta, mean-reverting, whipsaw-prone L1 whose 4H trend flips constantly and manufactures losing round-trips; the three SURVIVORS (BTC, ETH, ADA) are large, liquid, persistently-trending names with lower relative noise. TRX has a structurally distinct return process from the failed L1s: demand is anchored to Tron's dominant USDT-settlement flow (the largest stablecoin transfer rail), giving it a persistent low-volatility drift and far fewer whipsaws than the high-beta alts — a regime profile closer to the BTC/ETH/ADA winners than to the failures. TRX has never been tried in the corpus (74 of 767 collected instruments were ever used) and has multi-year Binance USD-M history (listed 2020) for full statistical power. 3 parameters only, to resist the overfitting that killed the symbol-swap clones.

Backtest and paper results are hypothetical. Trading involves risk of loss.
