Raptor 4: Earlier First Target

The first-target experiment. One variable changed: TP1 moves from 1.5R to 1.0R through the InpTp1RMultiple default. Everything else is P2C, untouched.

The exact change

One input default changes. The 75% partial now banks at 1.0R instead of 1.5R; the runner to 3.0R and every stop and filter are untouched.

input double InpTp1RMultiple = 1.0;   // P2G: TP1 at 1.0R (P2C used 1.5)

Stop, detector, bias logic, runner target, and 1% risk stay exactly as P2C had them.

Verification · 2026-09-30

Single-variable confirmed. Token-by-token diff against P2C: the InpTp1RMultiple default is the only behavior change. Everything else is identical.

Source review: no issues found. In-house token diff plus brace/paren/bracket balance and entry-point checks (exactly one OnInit, one OnTick) found zero behavior drift across all 751 lines. Not a MetaEditor compile, that still needs F7 on a real terminal.

Status: compiled and backtested 2026-10-01. Result invalid: the intended TP1 change produced no observable difference.

What it does

Hypothesis

Only 16% of P2C trades ever reached TP2. Banking 75% at 1.0R instead of 1.5R takes the first achievable leg instead of demanding the deeper move.

Unchanged from P2C

Pattern geometry, bar-shape and RSI filters, pullback zone, D1/H4 bias logic, detector, 0.5x ATR stop, 3.0R runner target, breakeven +0.1R after partial, scale-in, 1% risk, 12-bar pending expiry, 21:00 cutoff, 3% daily loss halt, max setups. If P2G wins where P2C lost, it is purely the first-target placement.

Verdict: tabled, result invalid. Output was identical to the P2C control to the penny. The intended TP1 change produced no observable difference, and the TP1 mechanism requires diagnosis before a valid test.
