CHANGE: MIN_QUALITY_SCORE lowered from 65 to 60
REASON: Data analysis of 161 trades showed score 60-64 tier
significantly outperformed higher quality scores:
- 60-64: 2 trades, +$45.78 total, 100% WR, +$22.89 avg/trade
- 65-69: 13 trades, +$28.28 total, 53.8% WR, +$2.18 avg/trade
PARADOX DISCOVERED: Higher quality scores don't correlate with
better trading results in current data. Stricter 65 threshold
was blocking profitable 60-64 range setups.
EXPECTED IMPACT:
- 2-3 additional trades per week in 60-64 quality range
- Estimated +$46-69 weekly profit potential based on avg
- Enables blocked signal collection at 55-59 range for Phase 2
- Win rate should remain 50%+ (60-64 tier is 100%, 65-69 is 53.8%)
RISK MANAGEMENT:
- Small sample size (2 trades at 60-64) could be outliers
- Downside limited - can raise back to 65 if performance degrades
- Will monitor first 10 trades at new threshold closely
Added as Common Pitfall #25 with full SQL analysis details.
