- Delete v7.360-v7.363 experiment configs (rotation/momentum tests)
- Remove _schedule_momentum_breakout_candidates() from backtester run.py

- Delete data/momentum_calendar/ parquet data
Valid period performance was -31.36% vs +152.4% baseline — sleeve is not viable
without walk-forward validation. Abandoning for now.

Backtester (run.py):
- cash_available = (self._cash + parking_value) * multiplier caused trades to be
approved even when self._cash ≈ 0 (all money in SGOV/QQQ). Trades executed
by deducting from self._cash → negative cash (phantom money).
- Fix: after simulate_entry, if self._cash < actual trade cost and parking exists,
call _liquidate_parking_for_cash(shortfall) before deducting from cash.
- Verified: 2022-2026 backtest with qqqm_low_dd shows 0 cash_negative events.
Live engine (engine.py):
- Add _parking_liquidate_for_event(): frees parking cash to fund event entries.
SGOV (virtual) reduces entry_value in DB; QQQM/QQQ sells real shares via broker.
- Both entry loops (engines mode + flat/reaction_close mode) now attempt parking
liquidation when plan.skip_reason == "insufficient_cash" before giving up.
Also includes prior session work (accumulated since last commit):
- 6 novel parking gate signals: VRP, Market Temperature, Hurst exponent, Rolling
Kurtosis, Return Autocorrelation, SPY-QQQ Correlation (composite risk score v2)
- QQQM parking symbol support (lower expense ratio vs QQQ)
- Snapshot auto-refresh + bar extension cache (pickle) to avoid 10-min re-fetches
- Bar extension clamps to last market-closed date (ET 4PM check)
- fithia2 refresh command; --no-refresh flag for paper backtest
- Paper backtest macro extension beyond last event date (parking-only periods)
- parking_state DB schema: 7 new columns (peak_price, gate_in_sgov,
committed_target, pending_target, pending_days, sgov_entry_value, sold_today)
- Live engine: target confirmation (2-day), top-up drawdown gate, trailing stop,
SGOV interest accrual, full 6-signal gate evaluation
- New PARKING_PRESETS: qqqm_low_dd, composite_v2, vv_24_vrp8, vt_24_t13, etc.
- Web GUI / CLI result parity fix (Oracle URL via get_settings().stock_oracle_url)
- Force-close uses last_exec_date (has bar data); parking liquidates at last_date

conviction_v6new.307 (SQS 74.4 #1), core_boost_v6new.288 (72.8 #3),
entropy_safe_v6new.196 (72.6 #6) — now visible by name on leaderboard.

Boosting inline/guidance engine per_trade_risk from 0.015-0.020 to 0.040.
These engines have 73-100% WR — bigger positions on best signals.
v6new.307: SQS 74.4 (#1), CW 350.2%, Test +46.8%, MaxDD 2.4%, PF 14.74
Full progression: 262.9% → 284.4% → 312.6% → 320.5% → 350.2%

Additional tracker/leaderboard updates, overlay leaderboard, and
documentation improvements.

OME engine early_failure_no_progress_days=1 (from day 2 in v272) further
improves capital recovery speed. 198 trades, 312.6% CW return.
SQS 72.7 = new #1 on leaderboard (including overlays).
Test return +45.5%, Profit Factor 19.23.
Key: cutting OME losers at day 1 instead of day 2 frees capital faster
while losing only marginal OME winners that needed >1 day to show progress.

Trade analysis revealed OME engines had 54-60% WR with stop-heavy exits.
Adding early_failure (day 2, R=0.0) for OME engines frees capital faster,
enabling 6 more trades (194→200) and boosting CW from 293.2% to 310.8%.
Key insight: cutting low-quality engine losers early improves compounding
more than any scoring/feature/sizing change tested in this session.
v6new.272: SQS 72.4 (#6), CW 310.8%, 200 trades, test +44.9%

Higher risk (0.069) + tighter stops (ATR 1.45) produce best CW return
but lower SQS than v6new.196 (72.6) due to WFV instability.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
v6new.196 = v29 base + entropy scoring (v13e) + per_trade_risk 0.058
+ doc_quality 0.50. CW return 284.4% (+21.5pp over v122), 194 trades.
Key finding: v29 base with doc_quality 0.50 (not 0.55) is the optimal
quality gate when combined with entropy scoring.

Data analysis revealed OBV Q1 (distribution) has 56.4% WR vs Q5 51.2% —
contrarian signal confirmed. Previous OBV bonus was applied in wrong
direction. Corrected with v15 scoring models.
Best result: v6new.185 (entropy + risk 0.058) CW 274.4% but SQS 72.2,
still below v6new.122 (72.4). WFV/robustness offsets CW gains.
v6new.122 confirmed as optimal under current SQS v4 formula.
