The Pattern
7 consecutive BTCUSDm trades closed at a full stop-loss between 2026-09-16 to 2026-09-22. Reviewing the trade log: every one of them peaked at floating profit between $3.37 and $9.76 -- between 41% and 117% of the way to that trade's own profit-lock trigger -- before reversing and running the full distance back down to the stop.
This was flagged automatically by scanning the last 10 closed BTCUSDm losses for a recurring shape, not written after the fact. Whether it's a one-off cluster or a structural issue with how the trigger is sized for this symbol is exactly what the next batch of BTCUSDm trades will show.

What This Means
No corrective change has been deployed for this specific pattern yet -- this article was generated automatically the moment the cluster was detected, before any fix. The profit-lock trigger is currently configured as 40% of each trade's own risk amount, scaled per position size, and arms at 70% of whatever peak a trade reaches. This page will be updated, or a follow-up filed, once a change ships and enough trades have closed to check whether it worked.
Pending Verdict
No verdict yet -- this pattern was just detected and nothing has been changed in response. Publishing it now, before a fix, is the point: the claim and the fix (if one ships) both end up on the permanent record, in the order they actually happened.
This page will be updated if a fix ships and gets verified against real BTCUSDm trades, the same way the XAUUSDm profit-lock and time-based-exit fixes were.
