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
