The Tech Principle · strategy selection in three steps
Select. Compare. Switch.
How this works
A scenario selects a strategy. It is compared with similar, opposite, overall and best win rate strategies. You switch only if a comparison strategy is performing better. Real data from , embedded in this file; every choice uses only what was known at the decision time.
1 · Strategy selection
| # | Model | Strategy | Closed | Win rate | Net |
|---|
Equity curves of the selected strategies up to the decision time
2 · Compare with other strategies
Best similar: same product, differs in exactly one setting (family, window, take-profit or stop-loss). Best opposite: its equity moves against the selected one (correlation of five-minute changes of -0.2 or lower). Best overall: highest net on this product. Best win rate: highest share of closed positions with a positive net. Candidates must be a different strategy with a different net from the selected one (identical results are clones and are never used). If no such strategy exists the card says so. Ties go to the lowest model id.

3 · Switch, only when better
Pick what to switch to. The chart then shows what happened next; nothing after the decision time was used to choose it. Always switch: at every following hour the selection and comparison are run again, using only data up to that hour, and you move to the best strategy of the chosen type only if its net is higher than the strategy you hold; otherwise you stay. Switching is assumed free.

Historical and analytical only. One day (), replayed from stored snapshots embedded in this file. It is not investment advice, a signal, a forecast or an execution workflow. Net is the five-minute snapshot's cumulative net return in the platform's units (closed plus open positions). Closed means closed positions.
