Executive Summary
EURGBP V4 Control completed the Week 25 live paper review with a strong observation result of +11.5341R.
The internal weekly target for the EURGBP research track was +5R net per trading week. During this live paper observation window, V4 exceeded that target by a wide margin while remaining technically stable throughout the review period.
During the weekly pre-close check, there were no open paper positions, no weekend carry issue, and no real orders were sent.
Weekly decision: EURGBP V4 Control remains unchanged and is classified as a Demo Candidate.
The next live paper week is used as an additional confirmation week before preparing V4 as a Demo Robot package for independent member demo testing.
Methodology Clarification
This report was originally prepared from the first strong live paper observation snapshot for EURGBP V4 Control.
At the time of the original Week 25 review, EURGBP V4 Control showed a strong live paper result of +11.5341R. This result was used as the first supporting evidence for classifying EURGBP V4 Control as a Demo Candidate.
After the weekly reporting process was standardised, FX Trading Robot Lab moved to a stricter ISO-week reporting structure. Under this structure, weekly results are reviewed by ISO week boundaries so that future reports, comparisons, and robot decisions remain consistent.
Because of this reporting update, the +11.5341R figure should be understood as an early live paper observation result from the Week 25 review window, not as the only strict ISO-week calculation method used for later weekly reports.
The Demo Candidate classification for EURGBP V4 Control remains valid as a research status decision because the version produced strong live paper evidence, remained technically stable, operated in PAPER_SIM_ONLY mode, and sent no real orders.
Future weekly reports will use the stricter ISO-week format for consistency. This clarification is added to make the reporting method transparent and to avoid confusion between an early live paper observation result and the later standardised ISO-week reporting format.
Weekly Result Summary
The internal weekly objective for the EURGBP research track is +5R net per trading week.
EURGBP V4 Control exceeded this target during the Week 25 live paper review and finished the observation window with +11.5341R in live paper mode.
| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| Weekly target | +5.0000R |
| Live paper observation result | +11.5341R |
| Closed trades | 83 |
| Take profit exits | 31 |
| Stop loss exits | 20 |
| Max hold exits | 32 |
| Orders sent | NO |
| Mode | PAPER_SIM_ONLY |
The result confirms that V4 produced a strong positive observation result while remaining within the controlled research environment.
Realised Balance Path During the Initial Observation Window
The chart below shows how the realised balance developed during the initial live paper observation window used for this report.
The starting value is normalised to 0R. Entry markers show when paper trades were opened, and exit markers show when realised R was added to the running balance.
This chart reflects the same observation period that produced the reported result of +11.5341R from 83 closed paper trades.
Strategy Performance Breakdown
The Week 25 result was not distributed evenly across all direction and corridor groups.
The strongest part of EURGBP V4 Control was SELL + PARALLEL_ASCENDING, which produced +9.3575R during the review window. This group was the main driver of the result.
Two additional groups also contributed positively:
BUY + PARALLEL_HORIZONTAL: +3.4252R
SELL + PARALLEL_HORIZONTAL: +1.7625R
The weakest groups were:
SELL + PARALLEL_DESCENDING: -0.8112R
BUY + EXPANDING_UP: -2.2000R
These weak groups reduced the final result, but the total live paper observation result remained strongly positive.
The main interpretation is clear: SELL + PARALLEL_ASCENDING was the strongest contributor, while BUY + EXPANDING_UP and SELL + PARALLEL_DESCENDING reduced the final result.
The exit distribution was:
Take Profit: 31 trades
Stop Loss: 20 trades
Max Hold: 32 trades
This distribution shows that the robot did not depend only on take-profit exits. A meaningful part of the result also came from positions closed by the maximum holding time logic.
The presence of 32 MAX_HOLD exits is important for future monitoring because it shows that time-based exits remain a significant part of the strategy behaviour.

Interpretation of the Result
The Week 25 review confirms that EURGBP V4 Control performed strongly during this live paper observation period.
The robot did not simply reach the internal +5R research target. It exceeded the target by a wide margin and finished the review with +11.5341R.
The strongest contribution came from SELL + PARALLEL_ASCENDING, which confirms that this corridor condition remains the main performance driver inside the current V4 structure.
At the same time, the positive contribution from BUY + PARALLEL_HORIZONTAL is important. It shows that the current V4 structure should not be reduced to a pure SELL-only model at this stage.
The weaker groups are visible, but no rule changes are being applied to V4 based on this report.
Because V4 produced a strong positive observation result, exceeded the internal +5R research threshold during the review window, and remained technically stable, it is classified as a Demo Candidate.
The next live paper week is used for additional confirmation before preparing V4 as a Demo Robot package for independent member demo testing.
Version Decision
Decision: KEEP UNCHANGED
Priority: Demo Candidate
EURGBP V4 Control will remain active without rule changes.
EURGBP V4 is classified as a Demo Candidate because it has already produced one strong live paper observation result and met the main technical and research requirements.
Reasons:
the internal +5R research threshold was exceeded during the review window;
the final observation result was strongly positive;
Task Scheduler execution remained stable;
heartbeat and status files updated correctly;
no real orders were sent;
orders_sent remained NO;
the robot remained in PAPER_SIM_ONLY mode;
no open paper positions remained before the weekend;
the logic is understandable and auditable;
the weekly report and risk note are available.
EURGBP V4 will continue unchanged for one more live paper confirmation week.
The confirmation week is not required to classify V4 as a Demo Candidate. V4 is already a Demo Candidate.
The confirmation week is used before preparing V4 as a Demo Robot package for independent member demo testing.
Operational Notes
The technical operation of EURGBP V4 Control remained stable during the Week 25 review.
Confirmed operational points:
the scheduled task remained active;
Task Scheduler returned Last Result 0;
heartbeat files updated correctly;
status files updated correctly;
the robot remained in PAPER_SIM_ONLY mode;
orders_sent remained NO;
no real orders were sent;
no paper position remained open before the weekend.
This confirms that the Week 25 result was collected under controlled live paper conditions.
What Changes After This Report
No trading logic changes are applied to EURGBP V4 Control after this report.
The main process change is the reporting method. FX Trading Robot Lab will use stricter ISO-week boundaries for future weekly reports so that all robot versions can be compared using a consistent reporting framework.
This means that later weekly summaries may show different values when the same robot branch is reviewed under exact ISO-week boundaries. This is a reporting-method update, not a change to the underlying Week 25 live paper observation evidence.
Risk Note
This report is part of a live paper research process.
EURGBP V4 Control operated in PAPER_SIM_ONLY mode, and no real orders were sent.
Live paper results, historical observations, and internal robot research do not guarantee future performance. Market conditions can change, and a robot version that performs well during one observation window may perform differently in another week.
Forex and CFD trading involve significant risk. This report is provided for research and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
Final Conclusion
EURGBP V4 Control produced a strong live paper observation result of +11.5341R during the Week 25 review window.
The robot exceeded the internal +5R research threshold during that review, remained technically stable, sent no real orders, and had no open paper positions before the weekend.
Based on this evidence, EURGBP V4 Control is classified as a Demo Candidate.
After this report, FX Trading Robot Lab standardises weekly reporting around strict ISO-week boundaries. Future weekly reports and comparisons should therefore be read using the ISO-week reporting method.
EURGBP V4 Control remains a Demo Candidate, but it is not a Demo Robot and it is not presented as a guaranteed profitable system. The next live paper week is used as additional confirmation before any independent member demo testing package is prepared.
