## 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: HIGH WIN RATE: claimed 87.59%. Attainable, but nearly always by banking many small wins against rare large losses - check the payoff ratio and the worst single trade before trusting it.; HIGH PROFIT FACTOR: claimed 3.79. Treat as an in-sample or curve-fitted figure until reproduced out of sample.
