A written reference on counter trend strategy — how it works, how to configure it, and where it breaks under load.
How It Works
counter trend strategy operates as a pipeline: ingest, compute, decide, route. Each stage has its own ways to break.
Configuration
A counter trend strategy setup accepts several knobs worth documenting. Start from defaults, then adjust against measured behaviour.
Failure Modes
The failure record for counter trend strategy includes regime changes, missed heartbeats, and positions that could not be closed gracefully.
Evaluation
An honest evaluation of counter trend strategy 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 |
