Brackets — what-if TP/SL

Pick a market entry time, direction, take-profit and stop-loss distance (in ATR multiples). We show which one historically got hit first — a what-if lookup, not a recommendation. Scope: index, energy, metals futures.

Descriptive statistics, not signals — touching a level is not earning money on it. Every number on this page ships with its sample size (n) and confidence interval. See methodology.

"First hit" resolves the case where both TP and SL are inside the same bar's range using the what-if convention documented in methodology — it is not proof of fill order, only a modeling choice applied consistently.
