=== Task 4: multi-instrument comparison (same breakout, GER40 vs FRA40) === symbol pip-meaning sessions total_pips max_dd flips -------------------------------------------------------------- GER40 index point 62 203.4 168.5 124 FRA40 index point 63 83.7 62.7 126 Honesty of the cross-asset comparison: Both GER40 and FRA40 are index points (pip=1.0), so their pip totals ARE directly comparable here — BUT only because the researcher knew to pass pip=1.0 for both. The engine has NO instrument registry: pip is a bare f64 to SimBroker::new, and nothing would stop (or flag) a comparison of GER40 index-pips to EURUSD fx-pips with mismatched scale.
