The target-vs-stop model counts a near-miss of a far S/R target as a full loss
and ignores the partial gains you actually bank — so it measures a different
strategy than "scalp the early pop, take +8%". Add a realistic take-profit exit
model next to it (original untouched).
Per setup the replay now also records risk%, whether the stop was hit, the
favourable excursion reachable before the stop (MFE), and the horizon-close move.
From those a fixed-take-profit sweep (4/6/8/10/12/15%) is scored in R: bank +X%
if reached before the stop, else -1R, else the horizon close. Hit rate = how
often +X% was banked (the MFE CDF), so you can pick the EV-optimal TP without
top-ticking fantasy. Shown as a new table in the Backtest panel; the IC,
calibration and momentum sweep are unchanged.
