Donchian Breakout

Did close break a prior-only Donchian boundary? Walk the evidence clock one stage at a time. This lab teaches the publication contract; it does not simulate returns, platform parity, or trade performance.

Selected expression

up_break=C_t>max(H_(t-n..t-1)); down_break=C_t<min(L_(t-n..t-1))

Availability rule

A state at t may use only observations available through t; confirmed swings retain their confirmation timestamp and are never relabeled as known at the pivot bar.

Verified synthetic fixture

This lab is paired with datasets/implementation-fixtures.json: 96 deterministic, oldest-to-newest observations spanning oscillating, rising, and moderating regimes. It is teaching data—not market history or predictive evidence.
