Evidence comparison
Compare the evidence, not just the return.
Only the current Quant configuration has a published numerical forward record in this dataset. The backtest column makes the missing comparison explicit; it is not evidence that a comparable backtest has been published.

What this comparison does not establish
- No cross-product return ranking
- Scanner observations, Recovery Expert trade management and indicator signal examples are not equivalent to Quant strategy returns. Comparable numerical performance is not documented here for those products.
- No cross-platform extrapolation
- Availability on MT4, MT5, TradingView and NinjaTrader does not establish performance on each platform. The documented configuration here is Metals / XAUUSD on MT4.
- No reconstructed missing metrics
- Not documented means the approved source does not supply a value. It does not mean zero performance, no trades or an unsuccessful test.
- No universal ranking from one period
- Comparable evaluation would require disclosed periods, instruments, execution assumptions and risk context. A single static cumulative record does not establish future profitability.
