73% of trading bots blow up because of ONE overlooked parameter. Here are the 5 tweaks that cut drawdowns by 50% and separate winning bots from blown accounts.

📊 What's Covered:
• Kelly Criterion Sizing—Why 'max leverage' kills your bot (and what to use instead)
• Volatility-Adjusted Stops (ATR vs. Fixed %)—Backtest results show 35% fewer false exits
• Correlation Filters—One line of code cuts underwater periods by 40%
• Rebalance Frequency—Daily vs. Weekly vs. Event-Triggered (live test data included)
• Drawdown Ceiling Logic—The kill-switch rule that protects your capital

⏱️ Timestamps:
0:00 — Intro
0:45 — Parameter 1: Kelly Criterion & Position Sizing
1:45 — Parameter 2: ATR-Based Stop Losses
2:30 — Parameter 3: Correlation Filters
3:15 — Parameter 4: Rebalance Frequency
3:55 — Parameter 5: Drawdown Ceilings
4:35 — Outro & Newsletter CTA

These aren't complicated tweaks—they're risk management fundamentals wrapped in code. Whether you're building a bot from scratch or trying to save an existing one, these five parameters will dramatically improve your odds of staying in the game long-term.

Testing and backtesting are critical. Don't go live with any of these changes without validating them in your own market conditions and risk profile.
