Rule 9: Standard label
Every result shows, in order: test number, instrument, length in words, average trade, profit factor, win rate, equity curve; then average signed ticks, trade count and drawdown.
Example data: Matt Berg Full Mech (diagnostic, below 100 trades per window)
All money figures are net of $5 commission per trade. The Jul–Dec 2025 rows are context only, not one of the three template windows.
