Is the MA momentum real?

Engine state as of 2026-09-01: LONG aged 40 bars, open uPnL +13.3%, total return -10.1%. Momentum is treated as a step-four check only — it never overrides the quality (100/100) and valuation gates that come before it.

How to read an aging signal

40 bars is relatively fresh, but every signal still owes you a current reason. uPnL measures the engine's history, not your future.
