Tradebot Tuning

Adjust tradebot parameters incrementally to improve tradability safely based on market regime and diagnostic signals while maintaining risk controls.

Purpose

Increase tradability safely by adjusting parameters one step at a time based on regime and diagnostics.

Use when

• No trades for long periods
• Diagnostics show gates failing (trend_ok/breakout_ok always 0)

Safety rails

• Keep risk controls enabled (daily loss cap, max trades).
• One change per cycle; log before/after.

Tuning ladder (preferred order)

1. Switch strategy based on regime:
   • RANGE → reversion
   • TREND → breakout
2. vol_surge → 1.0
3. adx_period → 0
4. cooldown_m ↓ (min 1)
5. lookback ↓ (min 6)
6. max_hold_m ↑ (max 30)

Verification

• After each change: confirm signals updating and signal sometimes flips.
• If losses exceed limits: tighten / halt.
