Rule: After TP1, move stop to entry. Stops go just beyond the activation side (small buffer), never beyond the opposite threshold
Stops: place just beyond the activation side with a small buffer; never beyond the opposite threshold.
After TP1 or maximum, after TP2, move stop to entry to protect gains and manage any runner.
Treat thresholds as decision zones: if price cannot hold above/below the line, the signal weakens.
