The Gold Reaper: weighted lots left the risk warnings unchanged
The Gold Reaper earned $4,041.83 with weighted lots on and $4,042.31 with them off, after commission and swap. Both runs retain a red prop-fit rating and a caution on position stacking.
What switching the flag changed
The comparison covers version 4.6 on XAUUSD, using start-lot sizing. The recorded inputs differ only in whether weighted lots are enabled.
| Recorded result | Weighted lots on | Weighted lots off |
|---|---|---|
| Net profit | $4,041.83 | $4,042.31 |
| Closed trades | 1,742 | 1,742 |
| Average lot size | 0.017 | 0.017 |
| Prop-fit rating | Red | Red |
These runs show almost unchanged profit when the flag is switched off. They do not establish the cause of the small difference or show that the flag is irrelevant in every sizing mode.
The sizing limitation remains
Switching weighted lots off did not produce a fixed-size trade history. Both audits withhold the fixed-lot survival map because position sizes vary. The shared average in the table does not mean every trade used that size.
Both runs also concentrate 80% of profit in 60 trading days. The audit's IQ Capital Classic consistency check records breaches in 12 years in each run.
This comparison covers the weighted-lots switch with start-lot sizing. The separate risk-based experiment uses a different sizing mode and trade population.
