Trial Run — Prediction Accuracy Analysis (Indian Market)
=========================================================
Tests all 6 strategies for DIRECTIONAL PREDICTION ACCURACY across time horizons:
    1D | 3D | 1W (5D) | 2W (10D) | 1M (21D)

Three modes:
    A — Without News  : Pure technical signals (S1 now has Nifty breadth gate baked in)
    B — With News     : Signals filtered by India VIX < 18 + 5-day declining trend
    C — Full Macro    : Mode B + global risk-on (S&P500 / USD-INR / Crude gates)

Strategies tested:
    S1  — RSI + Bollinger Intraday Shadow Recovery (v2: Low<BB<Close, vol≥1.5×, Nifty gate)
    S2  — Momentum Breakout (OBV + RS proxy, earnings blackout)
    S3  — EMA Ribbon + MACD + ADX Trend Following
    MFS — Multi-Factor Score (Momentum + Trend composite)
    NIRA— Index Reconstitution proxy (new 52W high + OBV + RS + volume)
    PED — Post-Earnings Drift proxy (gap-up day + next-day entry)

Output: terminal + trial_run_results.md (appended to main doc separately)

## Confidence Framework

```
CONFIDENCE TIERS (applied per strategy per horizon)

  HIGH   : t-stat ≥ 2.0 | N ≥ 30 signals | Excess accuracy ≥ +5% vs Nifty
            → Statistically robust. Use as standalone prediction signal.
            → Verified across multiple market regimes (2019–2024 includes COVID crash,
              rate-hike cycle 2022, bull market 2021, and sideways 2023).

  MEDIUM : t-stat ≥ 1.4 | N ≥ 15 signals | Excess ≥ +2%
            → Directional bias is real but not overwhelming.
            → Use with one confirming indicator (VIX level, Nifty regime gate).

  LOW    : t-stat ≥ 1.0 | Excess ≥ 0%
            → Positive but fragile. Only trade in full bull regime (Nifty > 200 DMA, VIX < 18).

  WEAK   : t-stat < 1.0 OR excess < 0%
            → No reliable directional edge at this specific horizon.
            → Signals fire but Nifty direction is equally or more predictable on same dates.
            → Skip standalone use.

KEY METRIC — "vs Nifty (excess)":
  Even random buys in Indian equities are correct ~57% of the time at 1 month.
  A strategy with 60% accuracy at 1M but only +3% excess is much weaker than one
  with 62% accuracy and +8% excess — the first strategy barely beats passive drift.
  EXCESS is the only metric that tells you whether the SIGNAL is adding value
  vs simply riding a bull market.

MODE B INTERPRETATION:
  The lift from news filter (Mode B minus Mode A accuracy) shows how macro-sensitive
  each strategy is. High lift (> 5%) = strategy depends heavily on calm macro environment.
  Low lift (< 2%) = strategy works in multiple macro regimes — more robust signal.
```

## Notes on Methodology

```
Signal Generation (v2 — shadow recovery rewrite):
  S1  — Intraday Shadow Recovery: Low < BB(2σ,20) AND Close > BB + RSI<35 + vol≥1.5× + Nifty+
         v1 bug fixed: was Close≤BB (falling knife). Now requires intraday recovery confirmation.
         Earnings blackout: ±3 calendar days around earnings announcement dates suppressed.
  S2  — Within 3% of 52W high + OBV at 3M high + RS > 0 vs Nifty. Earnings blackout applied.
  S3  — Full EMA ribbon (20>50>100>200) + MACD hist > 0 + ADX > 25
  MFS — Full EMA stack + 12M/3M momentum above 63-day rolling median + RS > 0
  NIRA— Within 0.5% of 52W high (new breakout) + OBV at 3M high + volume > 1.5× + RS > 0
  PED — Gap-up > 4% from prior close + volume > 1.5×avg. Entry: NEXT day close.

Mode A: All signals as generated (S1 already includes Nifty breadth gate + earnings blackout).
Mode B: India VIX < 18 AND 5-day EMA of VIX trending down (slope < 0). ~34% of trading days.
Mode C: Mode B + S&P500 5D uptrend + USD/INR stable (±1%) + crude stable (±5%). Requires macro_context.py.

Improvements over v1:
  → S1 signal type fixed (shadow recovery vs falling-knife close-at-band)
  → S1 volume threshold raised 1.2× → 1.5× (removes ambient-noise signals)
  → S1 Nifty breadth gate added (no longs when Nifty was down today)
  → S1 + S2 earnings blackout prevents noise signals during results week
  → Mode C cross-asset macro gate (when macro_context.py is available)

Limitations:
  → Forward-look bias excluded: signals use only data available at signal date.
  → Transaction costs NOT deducted from forward returns (directional accuracy only
    — see backtest.py for full P&L analysis).
  → Signal frequency varies: high-frequency signals (S3: 4000+) give more
    statistical power; low-frequency (S1 shadow recovery: ~15/yr) require wider CIs.
  → The 2019–2024 period includes COVID crash, rate-hike cycle 2022, and sideways 2023.
