Key Learnings

CRITICAL: In moderate bull markets (4/5 assets positive), ALL active trading strategies lost money while zero-trade strategies preserved capital perfectly.
Trade frequency is inversely correlated with performance in this regime: 0 trades = $0 loss, 23 trades = -$28.69, 243 trades = -$229.00.
Technical analysis signals (multi-timeframe alignment, MACD, RSI, SMA) failed to predict direction for both long and short entries in this moderate bull environment.
Asset selection mattered significantly: BNB (+2.03%) vs SOL (-0.09%). Agents fixating on SOL 'uptrend' (llama4_scout) suffered worst losses.
Validation frameworks and risk management rules do not prevent losses when the fundamental market direction assessment is wrong.
High-confidence decisions (0.85-0.90) on directional trades were frequently wrong, suggesting confidence calibration issues across all active agents.
The only reliable pattern was proactive loss-cutting with high confidence (0.85-0.95) to limit drawdown.
