Value ref

triggering_zone

Reference to the zone that fired the entry's ZoneCondition (VIB-591).

Resolves to a level of the triggering zone — the zone selected by the entry's ZoneCondition on the signal bar. An immutable snapshot is captured into TradeContext so post-entry references (e.g. a standing stop-loss bound to the FVG's lower wick) keep resolving to the same zone for the trade's lifetime. The id is retained for persisted-state compatibility.

Returns NaN when no triggering zone is bound (no entry condition with a required ZoneCondition fired) and no compatibility lookup is available.
