🎯 Strategy Selection
QuantStrategy (Enum: STRATEGY_MEAN_REVERSION)
• Purpose: Selects the primary trading strategy
• Options:
o 0 = STRATEGY_MEAN_REVERSION: Trades when price deviates significantly from mean, expecting reversion
o 1 = STRATEGY_MOMENTUM: Follows price momentum and trends
o 2 = STRATEGY_PAIRS_TRADING: Statistical arbitrage (your optimized choice)
o 3 = STRATEGY_VOLATILITY: Trades volatility breakouts
o 4 = STRATEGY_ML_PREDICTION: Machine learning-based predictions
• Impact: Determines the core trading logic used
• Recommended: Test each strategy type to find best fit for your market
EnableMultiStrategy (Bool: true)
• Purpose: Combines signals from all 5 strategies using weighted approach
• How it works: Calculates weighted average of all strategy signals
• Benefits: Diversification and signal confirmation
• Risk: May reduce signal frequency and clarity
• Note: Your optimization set this to false for focused approach

📊 Trading Instrument
TradingSymbol (String: "")
• Purpose: Specifies which symbol to trade
• Default: Empty = uses current chart symbol
• Usage: Enter specific symbol like "EURUSD" or "NAS100"
• Important: Symbol must be available in Market Watch
TradingTimeframe (Enum: PERIOD_CURRENT)
• Purpose: Sets the timeframe for analysis
• Default: Uses current chart timeframe
• Options: M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, etc.
• Impact: Affects signal frequency and trade duration

💼 Portfolio Management
MaxRiskPerTrade (Double: 1.0%)
• Purpose: Maximum percentage of equity to risk per individual trade
• Range: 0.5% (conservative) to 5.0% (aggressive)
• Calculation: Used in position sizing formula
• Warning: Higher values = higher potential profits but greater risk
MaxPortfolioRisk (Double: 5.0%)
• Purpose: Maximum total risk across all open positions
• Protection: Prevents over-leveraging
• Trigger: Stops new trades when limit exceeded
TargetVolatility (Double: 0.15)
• Purpose: Target annualized portfolio volatility (15%)
• Usage: Adjusts position sizes based on market volatility
• Formula: Lower market vol = larger positions, higher market vol = smaller positions
MaxPositions (Int: 5)
• Purpose: Maximum number of concurrent open positions
• Benefits: Risk spreading across multiple trades
• Requirement: Needs sufficient capital for all positions
EnablePortfolioRebalancing (Bool: true)
• Purpose: Automatically rebalances portfolio daily
• Function: Closes oversized positions that exceed risk limits
• Frequency: Checks every 24 hours
• Benefit: Maintains risk discipline

📏 Position Sizing
UseWholeLotSizing (Bool: true)
• Purpose: Forces all trades to use whole number lot sizes only
• Effect: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 lots (no 1.3 or 2.7)
• Benefit: Simpler trade management
• Drawback: Less precise position sizing
MinLotSize (Double: 1.0)
• Purpose: Minimum trade size allowed
• Interaction: With UseWholeLotSizing, minimum becomes 1.0 automatically
• Override: System may increase if symbol requires higher minimum
MaxLotSize (Double: 10.0)
• Purpose: Maximum trade size allowed per position
• Protection: Prevents accidentally large positions
• Override: System uses smaller of this value and symbol maximum
RoundToNearestWhole (Bool: true)
• Purpose: Rounds fractional lots to nearest whole number
• Only Active: When UseWholeLotSizing = false
• Example: 2.3 lots becomes 2.0, 2.7 becomes 3.0

📈 Statistical Parameters
StatisticalWindow (Int: 252)
• Purpose: Number of bars used for statistical calculations
• Standard: 252 = ~1 trading year
• Impact: Larger window = more stable stats, longer initialization
• Critical: EA won't trade until this many bars are collected
ZScoreEntry (Double: 2.0)
• Purpose: Z-score threshold for trade entry signals
• Your Setting: 4.4 (extremely high - very selective)
• Meaning: Price must be 4.4 standard deviations from mean
• Effect: Higher values = fewer but higher-quality trades
• Standard: 2.0 = ~2.5% probability, 4.4 = ~0.001% probability
ZScoreExit (Double: 0.5)
• Purpose: Z-score threshold for closing mean reversion trades
• Logic: Close when price moves back toward mean
• Conservative: Higher values hold trades longer
ConfidenceLevel (Double: 0.95)
• Purpose: Statistical confidence level (95%)
• Usage: Used in VaR and statistical calculations
• Standard: 0.95 = 95% confidence

🔄 Mean Reversion Strategy
MR_Period (Int: 20)
• Purpose: Period for calculating moving average baseline
• Usage: Bollinger Bands middle line calculation
• Effect: Longer periods = smoother, less sensitive signals
MR_Threshold (Double: 2.0)
• Purpose: Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands
• Calculation: Bands = MA ± (Threshold × Standard Deviation)
• Impact: Higher values = wider bands, fewer signals
MR_UseBollinger (Bool: true)
• Purpose: Enable/disable Bollinger Bands calculation
• Alternative: Uses simple price deviation without bands
• Performance: Your optimization found better results without Bollinger
________________________________________
⚡ Momentum Strategy
MOM_FastPeriod (Int: 12)
• Purpose: Fast period for momentum calculation
• Standard: Usually 12-21 for fast momentum
MOM_SlowPeriod (Int: 26)
• Purpose: Slow period for momentum calculation
• Unusual: Your fast > slow suggests contrarian approach
MOM_Threshold (Double: 0.02)
• Purpose: Minimum momentum percentage for signal (2%)
• Effect: Only trades on strong momentum moves
________________________________________
📊 Volatility Strategy
VOL_Period (Int: 20)
• Purpose: Period for volatility calculation
• Method: Uses Average True Range (ATR)
VOL_Threshold (Double: 1.5)
• Purpose: Volatility multiplier for breakout signals
• Logic: Trade when current volatility > average × threshold
VOL_UseGARCH (Bool: false)
• Purpose: Enable advanced GARCH volatility modeling
• GARCH: More sophisticated but complex volatility calculation
________________________________________
🤖 Machine Learning
ML_TrainingPeriod (Int: 1000)
• Purpose: Number of bars for ML model training
• Effect: More data = potentially better predictions, slower adaptation
ML_Features (Int: 10)
• Purpose: Number of input features for ML model
• Features: Returns, volatility, RSI, momentum, etc.
ML_ConfidenceThreshold (Double: 0.7)
• Purpose: Minimum confidence for ML predictions (70%)
• Effect: Lower threshold = more ML-based trades

⚠️ Risk Management
VaR_Confidence (Double: 0.05)
• Purpose: Value at Risk confidence level (95% = 0.05)
• Usage: Calculates potential losses
VaR_Period (Int: 22)
• Purpose: Lookback period for VaR calculation
• Standard: 22 = 1 trading month
EnableDynamicHedging (Bool: true)
