How to read this
- R is a risk-multiple: +1R means a trade made one unit of the risk it put up. Total R sums the week; expectancy is average R per trade.
- These are paper/backtest research configurations over a short, single-week window — small samples are noisy and heavily regime-dependent.
- Strong weekly numbers are not adoption or performance claims. Nothing here is live money, and past results don't predict future results.
Standing caveats: research lines only; no adoption or performance claims; weekly samples are small and regime-sensitive; gold has been in a fast-moving regime.
