just observe FIRST TUNE (Week 2) □ If too many alerts: Increase Z-threshold □ If too few alerts: Decrease Z-threshold □ Wait 3 days for data □ Measure impact OPTIMIZATION (Week 3+) □ Lock in working parameters □ Disable debug mode (PREMIUM_ALERT_DEBUG=false) □ Scale position sizes □ Monitor weekly for consistency PRODUCTION (Week 4+) □ 3-8 alerts/day (stable) □ 65%+ win rate (consistent) □ Document your settings □ Focus on position sizing □ Monitor monthly for drift ``` --- ## What to Expect (Timeline) ``` DAY 1 ├─ Alert count drops: 25 → 5 (immediate) ├─ More rejection logs visible └─ Initial confusion (normal!)
