## Scope and limitations

These are machine-extracted research records, not verified trading systems. Catalog rank measures specification detail and claimed evidence, not profitability. The catalog extraction pipeline did not independently backtest these records. Its separate selected testing ledger does not validate the wider corpus. Rules, labels and parameters can be incomplete or wrong; consult the original source and its reuse terms.

No endorsement, ownership claim or source-code reuse permission is implied.

## Extraction warnings

No automated warnings recorded; this is not validation.

- 3-tier circuit breaker: reduce lots, halt adds, then flatten + cooldown at 3 / 4 / 6% equity drawdown
- absolute close from the TRUE equity peak: flatten and stop for good
- worst-case preflight: skip new entries whose full-grid worst case exceeds your % of equity (opt-in)
- kill scope + halt guard: a protection stop can also flatten other EAs on the symbol or the account (opt-in)
- daily equity stop and day halt after N stops, for prop-firm rules; regime gate for extreme volatility (opt-in)
- spread, rollover, margin and exposure guards
