Extraction warnings
Claim warnings
- IMPLAUSIBLE WIN RATE: claimed 98.9%. Sustained win rates this high on retail FX effectively only occur when losses are deferred rather than taken (grid/martingale) or when the test is broken.
- HIGH PROFIT FACTOR: claimed 5.02. Treat as an in-sample or curve-fitted figure until reproduced out of sample.
- RECOVERY SIZING: position size increases after losses (martingale/grid/averaging). Equity curves look smooth until the run that does not recover - judge it on worst-case exposure, not win rate.
- GRID SIGNATURE: a 98.9% win rate combined with recovery sizing is the classic profile of a system that wins often and loses everything rarely. The win rate is not the risk.
Opacity warnings
- UNDEFINED ENTRY TERM: the entry conditions are prose naming a concept with no numeric definition, so two readers would implement them differently. Advisory only -- this does not affect the score.
