How this was tested

Assumptions and limits

Independent $1,000 cash account with 5 basis points per side plus a one-cent external sell fee; signals use the previous completed close, fills use the next eligible open, and sale proceeds must settle before reuse.

The historical period was reused during research and is not an untouched holdout.
The six-window evaluation index chains independent flat-start accounts; the chart and total return here describe the separate continuous account.
The source market-data and execution archive is owner-held and is not redistributed.
Past simulated results do not establish future returns or authorize trading.
