The profit is too concentrated for consistency rules

The result came from 775 active trading days, yet most of the profit arrived on a much smaller group of days. Missing those periods could change the account outcome sharply, while strict consistency limits penalize the same pattern.

Stacking increases account pressure

The audit records 968 additional entries while positions were already open. Most were added with the move, so this is not classified as a dominant averaging grid, but the larger stack still increases margin use and rule exposure.

The long record is useful but not decisive

The first trade appeared 22 days after the start of the available history, giving this review a broad record rather than a late-starting sample. Even so, the observed concentration and stacking remain part of the strategy, not gaps that a longer chart removes.

The useful conclusion is narrow: the EA produced a positive historical result after costs, but its profit distribution makes it a poor match for accounts governed by strict daily consistency rules.
