    "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."

The catalog extraction pipeline did not independently backtest these records. Its separate selected testing ledger does not validate the wider corpus.
