What a Maven evaluation actually measures
A Maven evaluation answers two questions. Can you produce a defined return without breaching a defined loss, and can you do it without abandoning your own method halfway through. Nothing else is measured. There is no minimum number of trades beyond the published figure, no requirement to trade a particular session and no consistency clause introduced at the end.
Because there is no time limit, the evaluation rewards patience. A trader who waits four weeks for the right conditions and then produces the target in five sessions is treated exactly like a trader who grinds a small edge every day. Maven cares about the shape of the equity curve, not the calendar.
