The "always late / miss the move" problem was structural: entries waited for a
1-min bar to CLOSE above the breakout then walked the ingest->watch->execute
cadence (~2 min), and rested a limit AT the trigger that a runner never fills.
Add a top-6 armed-trigger book (runtime/triggers.py): keep the most-promising
gappers ready with a pre-computed opening-range trigger/stop and FIRE the
instant LIVE price crosses, via TradingExecutionService.submit_breakout_now —
a marketable order (capped above the trigger) that actually fills — reusing the
same risk gates (daily-loss breaker, max-concurrent, 1%-risk sizing, dedup).
- structure.py: opening_range() helper (shared with the ORB detector)
- run_live_paper.py: step_arm (rank + arm, 20s) + step_trigger (price-cross
fire + snapshot, 4s)
- momentum_cli.py: rewrite the watch board — market clock + countdown, loop
heartbeat, the 6 armed triggers with live price / gap / rvol / trigger /
distance / stop, and a plain-English "what it's hunting" line
- tests: opening range, trigger book state machine, submit_breakout_now gates
