QGrid_EMA_ATR — settings

Which settings actually do anything

Each posture setting was run low and high on a trimmed window. The direction that puts more capital at risk is the aggressive one — measured, not assumed. A setting that changed nothing in either direction is inert at these defaults and is excluded from the postures.

• 24 settings read by the strategy
• 9 of them are posture settings (size, exposure, ladder, stop, target)
• 3 measurably move the run
• 6 are inert: G_regimeThresh, G_invMax, G_stepPct, G_sizeFactor, G_tpAtrMult, G_tpPct

Live settings

Setting	Calm	Default	Aggressive	Direction
G_atrMult	1.5	0.75	0.375	lower = braver
G_levels	1	10	30	higher = braver
G_clip	15	30	60	higher = braver

The postures

Setting	calm	cautious	medium	bold	aggressive
G_atrMult	1.5	1.061	ships	0.5303	0.375
G_levels	2	3	ships	17	30
G_clip	15	21	ships	42	60

medium is the strategy exactly as it ships, so it sets nothing. cautious and bold are the geometric midpoint between shipped and each extreme — geometric because the candidates are generated multiplicatively, so the arithmetic midpoint would bunch both towards the brave end.

Ladder floor

A ladder setting is the number of entries a position may be built from. Orientation drives it to 1 at one end -- which is a single all-in order, not the ladder strategy under test -- so it is floored at 2 rungs. The floor does not cap the other end: a posture may still run a deep ladder, it just may not collapse to one rung.

Posture	Setting	Orientation wanted	Floored to
calm	G_levels	1	2
