+## 🎯 Active Optimization Initiatives
+
+Three parallel data-driven improvements targeting **35-40% P&L increase** over 3 months:
+
+### 1. Signal Quality Optimization (🔜 2-3 weeks)
+Filter bad trades BEFORE entry by optimizing quality thresholds
+```
+Progress: [▓░░░░░░░░░] 0/20 blocked signals collected (0%)
+Status:   Phase 1 - Data Collection
+Impact:   +5% win rate expected (60% → 65%)
+```
+
+### 2. Position Scaling & Exit Strategy (🔜 3-4 weeks)
+Optimize HOW MUCH to close at each target based on signal quality
+```
+Progress: [▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓] 161/50 trades (322%) ✅ - Need v6 indicator data
+Status:   Phase 5 complete (TP2-as-runner), Phase 2-4 pending analysis
+Impact:   +15% average win size expected
+```
+
+### 3. ATR-Based Take Profit Levels (🔜 6-8 weeks)
+Replace fixed % targets with volatility-adaptive ATR multipliers
+```
+Progress: [▓░░░░░░░░░] 1/50 trades with ATR (2%)
+Status:   Phase 1 - Data Collection
+Impact:   +10% total P&L expected (better hit rates in all conditions)
+```
+
+**📈 Combined Expected Impact:** 35-40% improvement → Phase 1 goal acceleration from 6-7 months to 4-5 months
