A normal forward sample says more than a polished screenshot. For gold trading, 79 setups on Asian session feels like a fair first read.

For gold trading, the practical question is whether it reduces bad decisions. A 55 setup journal on New York open makes that clearer.

This is easier to judge on H1. A sample of 41 setups with 1.5R target gives a cleaner read than one good result.

Better to treat it as a side filter for gold trading. A 39 setup check on London open can show whether it improves the actual trade routine.
