feat: v9 SHORT quality improvements - momentum-based filtering
PROBLEM IDENTIFIED (Nov 26, 2025): - Two v9 SHORT losses today: -$133.31 and -$153.98 (total -$287.29) - Analysis of 95 historical SHORTs revealed counterintuitive patterns - RSI filter was blocking the WRONG trades DATA FINDINGS: - RSI <35 SHORTs: 37.5% WR, -$655.23 (4 biggest disasters) - Winning SHORTs: avg ADX 26.9, Price Position 19-64% - Losing SHORTs: avg ADX 20.7, Price Position 13.6-65% - Today's disaster: ADX 20.7, Price Pos 13.6%, RSI 46.2 ROOT CAUSE: - v8 failed: Shorting oversold (RSI 25-35), caught falling knives - v9 RSI filter: Blocked RSI <33 but allowed weak chop trades - Real issue: Trend strength (ADX) + Entry timing (Price Position) SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED: 1. REMOVED RSI filter for SHORTs entirely (was blocking wrong trades) 2. ADDED momentum-based filter: - Requires ADX >= 23 (trending environment, not chop) - Requires Price Position >= 60% (short at top of range) OR - Price Position <= 40% with Volume >= 2.0x (capitulation breakdown) - Penalty: -30 points if criteria not met - Bonus: +10 points if momentum criteria met EXPECTED IMPACT: - Blocks today's disaster: ADX 20.7 <23, Price Pos 13.6% <60% - Blocks 4 of top 6 worst losses (all weak trend or bottom-fishing) - Enables catching massive downtrends at top of range - Total potential savings: ~$776 from historical disasters FILES CHANGED: - lib/trading/signal-quality.ts (lines 118-156, 197-238) Built and deployed: Nov 26, 2025 19:45 CET Container restarted: trading-bot-v4
