Harwinder Sekhon 183f148bb4 Live news gate: stop capping signal confidence near events (XAU default)
Replaying the live danger/caution gates against the validated 12mo XAU
M5 book showed they suppress 25-35 trades worth +4.6..+7.2R/yr — trades
entered near USD releases outperform the book average (+0.475R vs
+0.256R). New NewsConfig.event_risk_caps_signals (default False =
XAU-tuned) keeps EVENT RISK warnings in alerts but no longer guts
confidence; EUR factory re-enables the caps (evidence is gold-specific).
Pinned XAU M5 regression: 547 trades, +139.94R, trade-identical.
Tests: 177 passed.

"""EUR/USD signal producer config.
Re-tuned 2026-07-10 against the realistic backtester (1-pip round-trip
cost, next-open fills, raw-path resolution) on 2025-07-08 → 2026-07-08
M5 with M15/H1 confirmations. RESULT: no configuration passed the
acceptance rule (positive in BOTH train and val halves, PF >= 1.3).
The M5 defaults below are the best found — roughly breakeven
(-1.1R / 53 trades / PF 0.93 / 62% WR on 12mo) versus the donor
branch's -6.7R. Findings that shaped them:
- transitioning regime bled -27R/88 trades wide-open → blocked
- A-grade entries LOSE (-26R) while B-grade wins — max conviction
fires at move extremes (same pathology as gold M5)
- Fridays (-17R) and hours 8, 12, 13, 18, 19 UTC negative
- score 30-35 band is where the train-half losses live → floor 35
- trailing exits beat static TP1 (arm 0.45R / dist 0.5R best)
M15 + H1 investigated 2026-07-11, verdict NO VALIDATED EDGE either
(all at 1-pip round-trip cost, real fills):
- M15 wide-open (all gates off): -2.5R/270 trades 2025-26;
-54.8R/308 trades on 2024-25 out-of-sample. PF 0.61-0.98.
- Best in-sample slice (transitioning-regime-only: +15.4R, PF 1.59,
positive both halves, month-spread) FAILED 2024-25 OOS at PF 0.55.
Within-year train/val splits are not sufficient for EUR — always
re-test on the 2024 window before believing a config.
- Raw-parquet forward-return screens (M15 and M5, ~14 entry
conditions x 4-5 horizons: momentum, mean-reversion, breakout,
streak, session families): nothing clears +1 pip in both years.
- H1 wide-open: +9.8R PF 1.32 in 2025-26 (both halves positive) but
-5.7R PF 0.82 on 2024-25. Positive from Jan 2025 onward; H2-2024
regime negative. Closest to workable, still unvalidated.
Root cause is cost-to-volatility: EUR M15 ATR ~= 10 pips, so the 1-pip
spread taxes every trade ~10% of ATR (M5 worse). The XAU signal engine
survives because gold's ATR/spread ratio is several times larger.
EUR/USD therefore ships FUNCTIONAL BUT OFF by default: it is not in
PlatformConfig.scan_pairs. Scan it on demand (main.py --pair EURUSD,
or add to scan_pairs) but treat all EUR M5/M15 signals as informational
only. Open avenues needing new data/infra: calendar-anchored entries
(requires a historical Forex Factory archive), limit-entry cost
reduction (needs tick data to model fills honestly), H4/D1 swing.
