Recent surges after long flat periods are no longer over-rewarded

Performance is scaled down when most of a long track record's gain came in the last 90 days, and Consistency now counts earning months instead of trading months.

  • Recent-surge penalty: for histories over 270 tracked days, if more than 50% of total tracked growth was made in the last 90 days, Performance is reduced linearly, down to ×0.75 when all of it was.
  • Consistency: the 25% activity part now counts only months with a return above +1%. Trading without earning no longer helps.
  • All vault scores were recalculated.
