tradebot-tuning

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.
