## Preset selection using the complete June 15-August 4 tester span

| EA | 01:00-05:00 net / PF / max equity DD | 02:00-05:00 net / PF / max equity DD | Better span preset |
|---|---|---|---|
| UT V4 | $34.68 / 1.53 / 2.69% | $52.42 / 1.99 / 2.50% | 02:00-05:00 |
| UT2 V4 BURST | $59.15 / 1.75 / 3.76% | $85.61 / 2.43 / 3.76% | 02:00-05:00 |
| UT2 Orderflow | -$16.87 / 0.88 / 4.08% | $9.59 / 1.08 / 3.76% | 02:00-05:00 |
| GOLDBURST UT2 Guards | -$166.99 / 0.34 / 17.98% | -$150.15 / 0.55 / 17.39% | Neither; 02:00-05:00 is less bad |

Best practical candidate: UT2 V4 BURST with the 02:00-05:00 broker-time preset. It ties for best Monday-only net and has the strongest full-span net profit and profit factor. The eight-Monday result is sparse and should be treated as a screening result, not proof of durable edge.

## FVG Alpha Master — 2026 YTD saved Gold preset

Period: 2026-01-01 through 2026-08-04, XAUUSD H1, 100% real ticks. Saved preset used: `LPH_FVG_Alpha_Master_MT5.set` (`FVG_H1_XAUUSD_NORMAL_ALPHA`, fixed 0.05 lot, H4 trend filter on, 08:00-20:00 session).

| Net profit | Profit factor | Max equity drawdown | Trades | Win rate | Expected payoff | Sharpe |
|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| -$32.91 | 0.95 | $776.16 / 52.26% | 14 | 42.86% | -$2.35 | -0.21 |

Conclusion: this saved Gold Alpha preset does not show a positive 2026 edge. The combination of negative net profit, PF below 1, negative expectancy, and 52.26% maximal equity drawdown rejects the interesting-performance claim for this exact configuration.
