- Worth noticing
- The page distinguishes balance-based stops in v2, v3, and v5 from entry-price-based stops in v4, v6, and v7.
Field notes
The version history varies trailing-stop rules and pyramiding settings while keeping the entry direction random. The page reports that one v7 configuration gained $1,446–$1,865 across three seeds, while a version using a wider step broke the account. It also notes that stop-loss calculations use different bases in different version groups, while keeping the basis fixed within each comparison.
