The first H1 range is the stop

The rule was written before Play. The next hour ended the sitting.

Direct answer

This is one finished Training sitting on BarionQuant Desktop 0.1.4. EURUSD, H1, Free sample, Dukascopy. Session dates 2026-10-23 → 2026-10-29 UTC.

Before any Step I wrote the first bar’s high and low: 1.12232 and 1.12102. The next hour, 2026-10-23 02:00, printed a low of 1.12087. That bar is the stop. File → End Training. No ticket. Size stayed 0.1.

The lesson this sitting follows is already public: Size & stops for training. This page is the record, not a second copy of that lesson.

The sitting ended on that second bar. The desk picture below walked a few more hours after 02:00 so the empty-wall chart could be read (candles on the left). The catalog for that pull listed 103 H1 bars. The sitting did not walk the rest of the week.

Where the data came from

Desktop 0.1.4, signed in, Status Ready. Get market data, Free EURUSD H1. The dialog was filled 2026/10/24–2026/10/30. The catalog intersection the session actually used is 2026-10-23 → 2026-10-29, Dukascopy, 103 H1 bars.

The equity bar showed PRO. The tape is still the Free EURUSD H1 sample. Free can run this sitting. Windows. Not Mac. Not a browser replay.

The rule, copied before Play

I wrote these three sentences before the first Step. They are the same three sentences on the lesson.

1. One size for every training ticket in the sitting. If you change size, the sitting is over. 2. Invalidation: the high and the low of the first H1 bar on the chart. If a later bar trades beyond either price, the experiment is over. 3. Those two prices are on this chart. This page does not add a pip distance or a percent of an account.

Size for this sitting: 0.1, the account default. I did not change it. I did not open Indicators. I did not open Trade → New Order.

What happened

One Step.

The next H1 bar traded through 1.12102. Low 1.12087. That is the stop-out the rule named. I left the two prices where they were written. I ended Training.

Session complete: Trades 0, result +0.00. There was no ticket to close. The stop is the bar, not a broker stop on an order. The lesson asked for that.

The workspace already showed MACD(12, 26, 9). I did not open the Indicators menu to put it there, and I did not read it as a signal for this sitting. The red SELL and green BUY numbers on the quote strip are the spread. They are not a filled order.

Went well: wrote 1.12232 and 1.12102 before any Step. Size stayed 0.1. Indicators and New Order stayed closed.

Mistakes: the next bar already traded through 1.12102. Moving the low after that print would have been the mistake. The two prices stayed.

Next plan: keep this rule on the next EURUSD H1 Free week. Do not add a live ticket. End Training on the first later bar that trades the range.

When this sitting does not count

It does not count if later bars stay inside that first range for the whole seven-day sample. It does not count if size changes mid-sitting. It does not count if the high or the low is moved after a later bar has already traded through it. It does not count if the right side of the tape was visible before the first Step. It does not count if Trade → New Order was opened.

None of those happened here. A stop on the first later bar is still a sitting. It is a short one.

This page does not tell you to walk the file yourself. There is no attached .bqproj.

Skip it if you wanted a winning sitting, or a file you can double-click.

Skip it if you have not read the lesson. The three sentences live there.

The author’s longer note on writing the invalidation before size is Write where you are wrong first. That page is a method note. This page is one tape.
