Field Note

Why Grid EAs Need Path Variation

Why basket recovery can look stable until the path changes.

Grid and recovery systems often hide fragility inside sequence risk.

The same distribution of prices can produce very different basket pressure when the path order changes.

A grid EA that survives one path may still fail when adverse movement, pauses and recovery timing appear in a different order.

Practical implication

If the claim depends on one curve, run a Reality Check before assigning trust.

The backtest is the pitch. AntiOverfit is the check.

Use public evidence or apply AntiOverfit directly to the EA.
