## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent or user needs the full text of Coil's published backtest research on the trend-template and volatility-contraction breakout rule — for reading, citation, strategy validation, or due diligence. This is a static research document, not a live signal or screener; prefer Coil Scanner or Coil Single-Name Score endpoints for real-time trading signals.

- HTTP 404 if the article URL is moved or unpublished
- HTTP 503 if the coil.trade server is temporarily unavailable
- Content may be static and not updated if the underlying study is revised
