## 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

Claim warnings: IMPLAUSIBLE WIN RATE: claimed 95.8%. 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 3.138. Treat as an in-sample or curve-fitted figure until reproduced out of sample.
