## Strategy Selection Logic

### Paper EA Strategy Usage
The Paper EA will:
1. **Aggressively test** all 20 strategies across all timeframes
2. **Log comprehensive data** including indicator values, signals, and outcomes
3. **Generate insights** on strategy performance by asset class and timeframe
4. **Create policy recommendations** for Live EA strategy selection

### Live EA Strategy Filtering
The Live EA will:
1. **Use Paper EA insights** to select top-performing strategies
2. **Apply stricter risk filters** based on learned parameters
3. **Implement dynamic strategy allocation** based on market conditions
4. **Maintain communication** with Paper EA for continuous learning

## Performance Optimization

### Feature Engineering
Each strategy exports key features to the knowledge base:
- Indicator values and crossovers
- Trend strength measurements
- Volatility metrics
- Volume analysis
- Risk-adjusted returns

### Machine Learning Integration
- **Pattern recognition** using historical strategy performance
- **Market regime detection** for strategy switching
- **Risk parameter optimization** based on market conditions
- **Correlation analysis** between strategies

## Usage Instructions

### Adding New Strategies
1. Create strategy file in `Include/Strategies/`
2. Inherit from `IStrategy` base class
3. Implement required virtual methods
4. Add strategy name to registry
5. Update documentation

### Strategy Parameters
Each strategy includes:
- Configurable indicator periods
- Risk management parameters
- Asset-specific optimizations
- Timeframe adjustments

### Testing Framework
- Backtesting across multiple timeframes
- Forward testing with paper trading
- Performance analytics
- Risk-adjusted return calculations

## Strategy Performance Metrics

### Key Performance Indicators
- **Win Rate**: Target 55-65% for trend strategies, 60-75% for mean reversion
- **Risk-Reward Ratio**: Minimum 1:2, target 1:3 or better
- **Maximum Drawdown**: <15% for individual strategies
- **Sharpe Ratio**: >1.0 for mature strategies
- **Profit Factor**: >1.5 for strategy viability

### Market Condition Adaptation
