ok   POC by hand (volume spread evenly over the ticks)
ok   POC tie goes to the tick nearest the VWAP, then the lower
ok   stop by range fills at the stop
ok   an open beyond the stop fills at the open
ok   stop and target in one minute: the stop
ok   the entry minute range counts for the target
ok   no event: the close of the last minute
ok   long: previous bar above, pierce, close back above; entry next minute open; stop 1 tick below the bar; 16:00 close
ok   long: the 2R target
ok   POC-CL: the same signal, no target
ok   pierce of exactly 15 points counts
ok   pierce of 15.25 points: no trade
ok   a low exactly at the POC is no pierce: no trade
ok   previous bar closed below the POC: no long
ok   signal bar ending 10:00 (first 30 minutes): no trade
ok   signal bar ending 15:30 counts, entry 15:31
ok   signal bar ending 15:35: no trade
ok   short: the mirror image
ok   FOMC day: no trade
ok   first signal untradable (entry beyond the stop): no trade that day, a later signal is not taken
ok   only the first signal of the day
ok   POC-2R-CF: no VWAP or overnight level within 10 points: no trade
ok   POC-2R-CF: overnight high 8 points from the POC: trade
ok   POC-2R-CF: overnight level 11 points from the POC: no trade
ok   POC-2R-CF: overnight low after 18:00 of the previous day counts
ok   POC-2R-CF: the first signal WITH confluence (VWAP pulled near the POC later in the day)
data: 2373779 minutes, 1735 regular sessions
