Extraction warnings
Claim warnings
- THIN SAMPLE: 48 trades - below the ~100 needed before a win rate or profit factor carries much information.
- 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.
