  2. Clear entry and exit rules
  3. Take profit and stop loss to control risk

Risk Analysis

  2. Unreliable volume data quality
  3. Overoptimization in parameter tuning

Improvements:

  2. Verify signals with more data sources
  3. Strict backtesting to prevent overoptimization

Optimization Directions
