[Financial AI Research] 696 items WAITING—stop production? Separate local auditing from VPS

If all 696 direct audit items are WAITING, did the EA also stop in production?The evening conclusion is that you cannot tell from that number alone. What was verified with the official copy was the state and reason of local audits. Do not equate the fact that the audit is not READY with the VPS production EA not running or no orders being placed. The morning fact that the SHA of the saved data matches does not prove the running state of execution.

Source and point in time for the evening version:We cross-checked DAILY_BRIEF, audit_summary, evidence_excerpts, and code_changes with a deadline of 18:35:48 JST on October 26. Local file reads around 18:36 are auxiliary observations at a different time than the main deadline. The entire original JSONL lines, ledger lock status, VPS screen/input, and original account statements are not re-audited reports by the article. This explains the distinction between financial AI, AI agents, self-made indicators, and EA development research between “audit” and “production.”

Evening grounds: 696 items, 140 items, and the preserved version are observed differently

From 07:00:09 to 18:35:24 JST, gold13ex_direct_audit.jsonl has 696 items, all 696 are WAITING, with the reason ex_indicator_ledger_missing_or_locked; READY is 0 in the official copy. It is not possible to determine whether the issue is missing or locked from this composite reason alone. The 696 items are audit records, not measurements of 696 trades or profits. The direct cause of the audit block and its impact on live order routing require separate cross-checks.

From 07:00:09 to 18:35:09 JST, the structure shadow has 140 items, closed_24h_valid=true is 0, m1_valid=true is 26, m5_valid=true is 138. These are counts of records with each flag set; they cannot be summed to yield a number of trades. The generation time of GOLD13_account_score_v2.json remains 02:59:08 JST on Oct 20 and is old as of that day’s records. Stops cause, re-generation conditions, and alignment with VPS remain unverified.

Around 18:36, the SHA of local EA, GOLD13, and saved chart matches the morning handover values. There are no primary documents showing new implementations, compilations, or deployments on that same day. The preserved version remains immutable, local audits are WAITING, and it is important not to lump the preserved version, local audit WAITING, and an old score into a single “production stop.”

Background at 06:10 in the morning: separating storage and execution

The following are the morning version’s file identity and verification design. The information about the 696 audit items and 140 structure items added in the evening is separated by source and time, and the current production state is kept unverified.

If the SHA of the EA and indicators is the same as yesterday, is the production running in the same state?The conclusion is that this cannot be determined yet. The 06:10 JST version handover on Oct 26 confirms that the local EA, GOLD13, and saved chart SHAs are the same as the previous day. On the other hand, the VPS production loaded version, the effective settings, AutoTrading, open positions, orders, and P/L cannot be directly confirmed and are unverified. The fact that the saved files have not changed and that the running environment is the same is the topic of today’s verification.

This article records research and validation of financial AI, AI agents, self-made indicator GOLD13, and automated trading software (EA) in the context of genuine trading accounts. The source is LOCAL_CODEX_HANDOFF_2026-10-26_0610_JST, and the period is 06:10 on Oct 25 to 06:10 on Oct 26 JST. The original files were not re-measured in article editing, nor were practical settings re-read by connecting to the VPS. The following alignments are the results of local cross-checks reported at handover and do not represent new deployments or operation tests of this article.

Conclusion: Verify storage, reading, execution, and results separately

Five stages—presence of a file, same as the previous day, loaded into processing, used for orders, and results left—do not coincide. For example, even if the saved EA is the same, it cannot be concluded from local file comparisons that another device with different settings is not running. This time, we are not arguing that possibility happened; we are indicating areas not yet inspected. We report up to the moment evidence arrived and do not fill in the rest by guesswork.

Evidence: targets that matched on the local side

What was compared at handover were the FUNDAFX_EA5 source mq4 and executable ex4, GOLD13_Signal mq4 and ex4, and the default profile’s saved chart chart02.chr. Each SHA256 was recorded and reported as matching the previous day. In this context, SHA is used as an identifier for file content comparison. The article does not list unnecessary device-specific paths or all hash values, focusing on what was compared and what can be asserted. The raw values are managed in the handover official copy.

From this match, we can report that there is no detected difference between the referenced local files and the previous day. This does not guarantee the correctness of the file design, absence of errors, loading into production, or profitability of the trades. Since the same content can still have an ongoing fault, do not aggregate file immutability and operational health into a single pass result.

The latest materials also state that there were no new changes to trading specifications, implementations, or deployments. This describes the scope of the target period and does not constitute an independent audit proving that changes never occurred in any environment. Distinguish “no updates” from “nothing needs to be checked,” and continue separately verifying whether changes exist and the current effective state.

Saved chart timing as proof of who changed what

The final update to chart02.chr is reported as 10/20 06:50:22 JST. In this comparison, its SHA was also the same as the previous day. However, the reasons for changes on Oct 20, the changer, the exact diffs, and the reflections into production have not been verified. The final update time is a file attribute and does not speak to who acted or why. Explanations such as “MT4 saved it automatically” remain speculative in the current materials.

To examine diffs, preserve both the past and current actuals and organize which items changed how by reading them. If there is no past version, do not infer past settings from the current values alone. Even if the saved chart items are known, whether the running device uses those settings requires a separate rollback check. Three observables—attributes, content, and effective state—must be connected in time order.

Same EA, but separate logging issues to chase

Morning handover notes that the local 20261025.log reported repeated open failure err=5004 for the spread CSV. The fact that the EA file was the same as the previous day does not prove the failure is resolved. Conversely, a single failure log does not prove the entire EA is a faulty version. The conditions to open files, the references, the state at the time, and how far the processing progressed are not yet reconciled. This article does not diagnose causes or fix code.

This example shows why it is necessary to manage version comparisons and operational observations separately. If you only examine changes when the version changes, you may overlook surrounding data and execution environment shifts. Conversely, replacing the main program due to a single discrepancy in operation makes cause-and-effect harder to separate. First, preserve the records and design a plan to align observation locations, target times, and input/processing boundaries. This is not the actual operation performed now.

Another basis needed to judge the VPS state

In handover, the live EA and GOLD13 version, Gemini decision settings, AutoTrading, open positions, orders and P/L have not been verified. They are not assigned to “normal,” “stopped,” or “no position” in the article. There is a record of no match found for order word searches on the local side, but this does not mean we have directly viewed the production order history or account net positions. Without linking the reference to production, the number of trades and profits remain undetermined.

To verify production, identify the target device and account and record the loaded version and effective parameters at the same observation time. Then examine whether the candidate, AI judgment, EA request, order response, open positions, and final results connect to the same signal ID or ticket. A successful example on another day or only the screen does not substitute for today’s production. Meeting these read conditions allows placing the history of saved files and actual operation into one timeline.

How to report “no changes” in AI research and development

Research and development articles do not only document days with new features. On days with no changes, it is possible to document maintained specifications and unverified items. The final arrangement kept this time does not trade on warning signals themselves but separately considers the normal signals after warnings. However, this specification’s compliance across all orders in the target period is not shown in morning materials. Distinguish inheritance of specifications from actual performance in practice.

Similarly, the AI-driven discretionary approach is described as a conceptual plan, and there were no new approvals for implementation or deployment in the target period. The fact that the file is the same as yesterday does not imply that the plan was implemented. By presenting the current method, a proposed plan, already deployed changes, and the current confirmed production state separately, readers can more easily tell what is new and what remains unimplemented.

Limitations and what to check next

Next, re-check the actual local files as needed and, if differences appear, preserve them and examine the precise differences by reading them. At the same time, cross-check CSV failure logs and reference conditions, and if production judgment is needed, expand the verification to the official VPS display and logs. The current article does not perform these actions. It also does not implement changes to trading code, MT4, EA, AutoTrading, VPS, or OBS, nor conduct production tests.

The weekday 24-hour trading live streams are an effort to present research progress, but current operation has not been re-verified. Since the recordings for that day are unverified, they are not embedded as new proof of operation. In later materials, the observed devices, periods, and sources will be stated, and the status will remain unverified until today’s results are confirmed.

The reference for the specification of self-made indicators and EA research and verification isthe GOLD13 sales page within GogoJungleThere was a stop-sale display on the previous inspection, and this time we have not re-confirmed the possibility of purchase. The article does not place external social media links. FX and GOLD carry the possibility of losses exceeding the principal, and file comparisons or operation verification recordings do not guarantee future profits.

Limitations at the evening point and the next confirmations required

The next conditions are whether the ledger can be read and direct audit transitions to READY, and whether the fresh account score generation time, history count, and balance reconciliation align. If deployment truly occurred, we connect the source and binary SHAs, compilation results, deployment time, and the version running on the VPS with the inputs. This is a plan; it does not mean that the ledger was released, the score regenerated, a compile was performed, or a production test was conducted.

The correspondence between the 18:35 local audit and the VPS at the same time is not verified. Do not use WAITING as the reason for zero trades or to evaluate AI decision accuracy. In the next round, we will again separate storage, audit, production, and results, and indicate outdated sources and where evidence has arrived separately.
