The structure, or the check that stopped it.

01 → 04 · the first fail ends it
  1. 01HistoryEnough daily bars to judge anything at all.
  2. 02DirectionA direction worth paying premium for.
  3. 03TradeableA strike you can enter and leave without the spread eating it.
  4. 04PricePositive modeled value against the target it recorded.

The first failure ends the check and says which one. A stopped check is a finished check and counts like one; so does a cleared one. Every threshold is on the methodology page.
