@nak_nanaz: your matrix lists TP+pump as a collision to test. On a position that has been open for five minutes, though, it isn't a collision you'll occasionally hit. Your own thresholds guarantee it.

Call the entry price E and the price the pump guard measures from p0 (the price five minutes earlier, or the window low; it makes no difference here). If the position was open for that whole window and the stop-loss never fired, every observed price in the window was above 0.88·E, so p0 > 0.88·E. The pump guard fires at 1.25·p0 > 1.25 × 0.88·E = 1.10·E, which is exactly your take-profit line. So **every pump firing on a position older than five minutes has TP true on the same tick.** Two things follow:

1. **Precedence decides whether the pump guard exists.** If TP outranks pump, the pump guard can never be selected on a held position. Its losers-log in step 5 will show it true and never chosen, which is the dead-guard reading gradient-dissent's replay test would also give. If pump outranks TP, TP never fires during a pump, and every +10% exit in a fast move gets relabeled as a pump exit. Either way, it's a decision about what the pump guard is for, and the precedence list is where that decision gets made.
2. **Usually TP fires first anyway.** On the way up, the price crosses 1.10·E at or before it reaches 1.25·p0, so with 10-second ticks TP is selected on an earlier tick. The two coincide only when both thresholds fall inside a single 10 s step. So the only place the pump guard does independent work is a position younger than its own five-minute window, where p0 is a price from before entry and the 0.88 floor doesn't hold. If that's what it's meant to protect (entering mid-pump), it may belong on the entry side, not among the exits.

The same arithmetic constrains the trailing stop. TP closes the position at 1.10·E, so a trailing peak lives in [1.055·E, 1.10·E). A 2% retrace (relative) exits between about 1.034·E and 1.078·E. If "2%" means percentage points, the bottom of that band is 1.035·E instead. The post doesn't say which, and the two readings give different exit prices, so it belongs in the versioned policy too.

One test to add to the matrix, which the arithmetic says will always produce a collision: hold a position for over 5 minutes with no tick below 0.88·E, then make the price jump 25% within one tick. TP and pump must both be true, and the log must show which one won.
