Fade vs continuation decision tree after the first London impulse

After the first London impulse I used to improvise. Improvisation is expensive.
Decision tree I run now:
Speed matters at the open; a short tree beats a long essay you will not read while the tape is moving.
Overrides happen — I am human — but naming the override later is part of the review.

- Did the impulse close with acceptance beyond structure? → lean continuation / pullback
- Was it a spike into a level that immediately reclaimed? → lean fade / reclaim
- Is Asia already huge or news due? → stand aside
- Am I already up on the morning? → fewer extras, smaller size

- What does your fade-vs-continuation tree look like?
- Where do you still override it emotionally?
