Broker settings & ALBR cost simulation
Default broker profile is versioned in GitHub and used by the research workflow. Changes here are temporary what-if scenarios only; they do not update approved contracts, save broker parameters or submit orders.
Observed instrument specifications
| Pair | CMC symbol | Observed contract | Tick size | Tick value (GBP) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EURUSD | EURUSD.£ | 10000 | 0.00001 | £0.1 |
| GBPUSD | GBPUSD.£ | 10000 | 0.00001 | £0.1 |
Broker metadata is taken from CMC Shadow EA logs and remains provisional. Minimum lot, lot step, maximum lot and real fills are not independently verified.
Research scenario — assumed cost per resolved trade
SCENARIO ONLY: Costs are assumed, not measured. Candidate OHLC touches are not verified fills. This re-prices the 82 resolved historical candidates, leaves 10 unresolved outcomes excluded, and does not perform a new backtest, portfolio sizing or statistical validation. Drawdown is measured in cumulative trade pips, not GBP account equity.
Risk settings — research reference only
Planned risk: 1% of equity per trade · maximum 2 entries per London trading day · reference equity £10,000.
Executable position sizes cannot be certified without verified lot-step/min/max and broker-specific price conversions. CMC live order routing remains disabled.
