Executive Summary
EURGBP V5.26 was tested during ISO Week 26 as a preliminary continuation of the EURGBP V5 research line.
The robot closed 28 paper trades and finished the week at -4.5398R. The weekly research target was +5R net per week, so the target was not achieved.
This result means that V5.26 did not become a robot candidate. The version produced enough live paper activity to evaluate the idea, but the weekly result and trade structure were not strong enough to justify candidate status.
The purpose of this report is not to present V5.26 as a finished robot. The purpose is to document how the V5 idea behaved during Week 26, what weakness was found, and what logic change was prepared for the next version.
Based on the Week 26 result, the next version in this research line is EURGBP V5.27 with opposite second-slot logic.
Weekly Result Summary
EURGBP V5.26 failed the Week 26 research target.
Weekly target: +5.0000R
Actual result: -4.5398R
Difference from target: -9.5398R
Closed paper trades: 28
Gross positive R: +9.2842R
Gross negative R: -13.8240R
Mode: PAPER_SIM_ONLY
Orders sent: NO
The version produced enough trades to evaluate the idea, but the negative side was stronger than the positive side.
The gross positive R shows that the robot was still able to produce profitable paper trades. However, the total negative R was larger, and the week closed below both the +5R research target and the 0R break-even level.
This makes V5.26 a useful preliminary test, but not a candidate.
Changes Compared with the Previous Observation
EURGBP V5.26 was tested as the next step in the EURGBP V5 research line.
The purpose of this version was to check whether the V5 structure could produce a stronger and more reliable weekly result after the earlier observation period. The main focus was not only the final number, but also whether the behaviour was clear enough to move the version closer to candidate status.
Week 26 did not confirm that.
EURGBP V5.26 closed 28 paper trades and finished the week at -4.5398R. This result was below the +5R weekly research target and also below the 0R break-even level.
The version produced enough activity to evaluate the idea, but the trade structure was not strong enough. Both BUY and SELL behaviour remained weak, and the corridor breakdown did not show a stable positive group that could justify candidate status.
The main change after this period is the creation of EURGBP V5.27. The next version keeps the V5 research line but adds an opposite second-slot structure. The goal is to test whether controlled opposite-direction participation can improve the weak Week 26 behaviour.
This means V5.26 is not removed as useless data. It becomes part of the version evolution record: the version was tested, the weakness was identified, and the next logic change was defined.
Net R by Direction and Corridor Type
The direction and corridor breakdown is used to understand which parts of the V5.26 logic supported the week and which parts damaged the result.
КАРТИНКА 2
The breakdown shows that V5.26 did not produce a strong enough positive group to justify candidate status.
The version was designed to explore the EURGBP V5 research line, but the Week 26 result showed that the current structure was still too weak. The negative groups were strong enough to pull the total weekly result below 0R.
This is why V5.26 should remain a preliminary research version rather than a candidate.

Exit reason summary:
TP: 7
SL: 11
MAX_HOLD: 10
MAX_HOLD positive: 6
MAX_HOLD negative: 4
Closed paper trades: 28
The exit distribution confirms that the V5.26 structure was not strong enough during Week 26.
The number of SL exits was higher than the number of TP exits. MAX_HOLD exits also remained significant, which means that a large part of the weekly behaviour was not resolved cleanly through target hits.
Some MAX_HOLD exits were positive, but that was not enough to offset the total negative structure of the week.
Weekly Behaviour and Research Interpretation
EURGBP V5.26 produced a negative but useful research week.
The version did not fail because there were no trades. It failed because the trades were not strong enough as a group.
The weekly result showed three important points:
First, the V5 idea generated enough activity to be analysed. With 28 closed paper trades, the version produced a meaningful sample for a preliminary live paper week.
Second, the weekly result was not close to the target. The final result of -4.5398R was materially below the +5R target.
Third, the structure did not produce a clear candidate pattern. There was no strong enough positive direction and corridor group to justify promoting V5.26 to candidate status.
This is why the correct decision is not to abandon the entire V5 line immediately, but also not to promote V5.26. The correct decision is to create a controlled next test version.
Why V5.26 Did Not Become a Candidate
A robot candidate should show a more convincing structure than V5.26 showed in Week 26.
The weekly target was not achieved. The result was negative. The SL count was higher than the TP count. The corridor and direction breakdown did not show a strong enough stable positive component.
For that reason, V5.26 remains a preliminary research version.
No realised balance path chart is published for this report because V5.26 is not a candidate. Balance path charts are reserved for candidate-level versions where the robot may move closer to demo testing and where the full trade path is more important for evaluation.
For preliminary versions, the focus is different: result, behaviour, weakness, and next logic change.
Logic Change for V5.27
The Week 26 result led to the next version in the V5 research line: EURGBP V5.27.
The main change in V5.27 is the introduction of opposite second-slot logic.
The goal is to test whether the weak Week 26 behaviour can be improved by allowing a controlled second paper position only in the opposite direction.
The next version keeps the V5 research line, but changes the position structure:
Maximum paper positions: 2
First paper position: allowed by the V5 logic
Second paper position: allowed only in the opposite direction
Same-direction second position: blocked
Mode: PAPER_SIM_ONLY
Orders sent: NO
This change is not intended to increase exposure aggressively. It is a controlled research test to see whether opposite-direction participation can improve the weekly result and reduce structural weakness.
Research Evolution
EURGBP V5.26 is part of the evolution from idea to possible candidate.
The research path is:
Initial idea
Preliminary live paper test
Weekly result
Weakness identified
Logic change prepared
Next version tested
Candidate status only if repeated behaviour becomes clear
This is the purpose of the FX Trading Robot Lab process.
A failed preliminary version is not treated as hidden or useless. It becomes part of the evidence used to decide what should be changed, continued, or excluded.
In this case, V5.26 failed the Week 26 target, but it provided enough information to justify a controlled V5.27 test.
Methodology Clarification
This report uses strict ISO-week reporting.
The reporting period is ISO Week 26, from 2026-06-22 00:00 UTC to 2026-06-28 23:59 UTC. The active market observation window for EURGBP ended on 2026-06-26, because Forex trading is normally closed during the weekend.
All results in this report are paper-only.
No real orders were sent.
Safety Status
EURGBP V5.26 remained in paper simulation mode during the reporting period.
Mode: PAPER_SIM_ONLY
Orders sent: NO
Real-money execution: Disabled
Purpose: Preliminary live paper research only
This report should not be interpreted as financial advice or a recommendation to trade. The result is part of a research record for evaluating robot behaviour under live paper conditions.
Week 26 Conclusion
EURGBP V5.26 failed the weekly research target during ISO Week 26.
The robot closed 28 paper trades and finished the week at -4.5398R, compared with the required weekly target of +5R.
The version produced enough activity to evaluate the idea, but it did not produce a strong enough result or structure to become a candidate.
This does not remove the EURGBP V5 research line. It means V5.26 becomes a documented preliminary test result, and the next logical step is V5.27.
The next version, EURGBP V5.27, adds opposite second-slot logic and starts from 2026-06-29.
