# ARIMA_SAX_Hybrid_Forecaster
> **This repository is a research framework for testing ARIMA and SAX hybrid forecasting.**
> It does **not** claim profitable trading performance and must **not** be interpreted as a
> validated trading strategy unless explicitly demonstrated by reproducible out-of-sample evidence.

## Purpose
This is a **research project first, not a trading-product project**. It builds a
reproducible research harness to answer one central scientific question:
> Does a hybrid **ARIMA + SAX** forecasting architecture provide statistically and
> economically meaningful **incremental predictive information** compared with
> appropriate baselines and with each component individually?
The two conceptual references are:
| Method | Reference |
| ------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
| ARIMA | `https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/18247` |
| SAX | `https://www.mql5.com/en/code/75543` |
These are methodology and implementation references **only**. They are **not**
evidence that either method (or their combination) has trading edge.
## Research posture
* No assumption that either model has predictive edge.
* No assumption that combining two models improves performance.
* No live trading / execution in this harness.
* No lookahead is permitted. A failing no-lookahead test is a **hard stop**.
* `No Edge` and insufficient analog conditions are **legitimate outputs**,
not implementation failures.

All user-visible research claims must separate **OBSERVED vs INFERRED vs UNKNOWN vs DECISION**.
