TA Alpha risk metrics (win rate, profit factor, max drawdown, Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar) are calculated from a structural risk-management adjustment made in October 2025 forward, not since inception. TA Sector and TA Global risk metrics reflect full history since inception, as no comparable adjustment applies to those models.
