Everything worth keeping on correlation analysis in bot-driven trading: core mechanics, parameter choices, failure record.
How It Works
correlation analysis operates as a pipeline: ingest, compute, decide, route. Each stage has its own ways to break.
Configuration
Parameter choices in correlation analysis shape both signal quality and operational load. Record every change and the reason for it.
Failure Modes
correlation analysis breaks in recognizable ways: silent data gaps, parameters that stopped matching the market, and latency spikes at the worst moment.
Evaluation
An honest evaluation of correlation analysis weighs quantitative metrics alongside code quality and how much attention it demands in production.

Parameter Impact
| Parameter | Effect | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| timeframe | Signal frequency | Higher means fewer but more reliable signals |
| risk_limit | Maximum exposure | Lower means safer but slower returns |
| lookback | Indicator sensitivity | Longer means smoother but lagging |
