# Optimized ARBUSDT Scalping Configuration

# === OPTION 1: Wider Targets (Recommended) ===
TRADE_SYMBOL=ARBUSDT
TRADE_QUANTITY=228

# More realistic targets for ARB volatility
PROFIT_TARGET=0.004  # 0.4% (doubled)
STOP_LOSS=0.002      # 0.2% (doubled) 
# Risk/Reward: 2:1 ratio maintained but wider targets

# Entry criteria - slightly more selective
MIN_SPREAD=0.002     # 0.2% (tighter selection)

# Martingale settings - more conservative
MARTINGALE_MULTIPLIER=1.5  # Reduce from 2.0 to 1.5
MARTINGALE_MAX_STEPS=3     # Reduce from 4 to 3
HALT_ON_MAX_STEPS=true

# === OPTION 2: Asymmetric Risk/Reward ===
# PROFIT_TARGET=0.003  # 0.3%
# STOP_LOSS=0.004      # 0.4%
# Risk/Reward: 1:1.33 - smaller wins but fewer losses

# === OPTION 3: High Frequency (if you have good execution) ===
# PROFIT_TARGET=0.0015 # 0.15%
# STOP_LOSS=0.0015     # 0.15% 
# MIN_SPREAD=0.003     # 0.3% - much more selective
# Equal risk/reward, rely on higher win rate

# === Additional Optimizations ===
COOLDOWN_SECONDS=60        # Longer cooldown to avoid chop
EXTENDED_COOLDOWN_SECONDS=1800  # 30 minutes after martingale cap

The result is fail
