- Updated .github/copilot-instructions.md key constraints and signal quality system description
- Updated config/trading.ts minimum score from 60 to 81 with v8 performance rationale
- Updated SIGNAL_QUALITY_SETUP_GUIDE.md intro to reflect 81 threshold
- Updated SIGNAL_QUALITY_OPTIMIZATION_ROADMAP.md current system section
- Updated BLOCKED_SIGNALS_TRACKING.md quality score requirements
Context: After v8 Money Line indicator deployed with 0.6% flip threshold,
system achieving 66.7% win rate with average quality score 94.2. Raised
minimum threshold from 60 to 81 to maintain exceptional selectivity.
Current v8 stats: 6 trades, 4 wins, $649.32 profit, 94.2 avg quality
Account growth: $540 → $1,134.92 (110% gain in 2-3 days)
V8 improvements to handle small bounces in strong trends:
- Increased flip threshold: 0.5% → 0.8% (stronger move required)
- Added confirmBars: 2 bars required after threshold breach
- Momentum tracking: Counts consecutive bars in new direction
- Anti-whipsaw: Flip only after 3 consecutive bars (confirmBars+1) beyond threshold
Example: In downtrend, price must close >0.8% above line for 3 bars before flipping bullish
This filters 1-2 bar bounces that don't change the macro trend
Result: Far fewer false reversals during strong directional moves
V8 Changes (fundamental improvements, not just filter toggles):
- Increased ATR multipliers across all timeframes (stickier line)
- Minutes: 3.3→3.8
- Hours: 3.0→3.5
- Daily: 2.8→3.2
- Weekly: 2.5→3.0
- NEW flip threshold (0.5%): Requires price to move beyond line by % before color changes
- Entry buffer enabled by default (0.20 ATR vs 0.15)
- ADX minimum increased to 18 (from 14) for stronger trend requirement
- Core HalfTrend logic modified to require threshold breach before flip
Goal: Reduce flip-flops while maintaining high-quality trend signals
Test against v6 (filtered) and v7 (pure flips) for comparison
