⚙️ Phantom Drift can now be optimized, both halves at once 🎯 Full Lock-family support is shipped in SharpTrader Optimizer. That includes Phantom Drift, and it tunes the whole strategy, not just part of it: 🧩 Part A, the averaging ladder: MaxTrades, LotExponent, PipStep, StopLoss, TakeProfit 🔓 Part B, arbitrage + exit: DiffToOpen1/2, MaxSpreadFast/Slow, ArbProfit, profit controls 13 parameters in total, every candidate scored on real tick data, modeled execution latency, variable spread per tick, and slippage on both legs. The RSI indicator is not in the grid: run separate sweeps at different RSI settings and compare. 📊 Why it matters more here than for plain latency: execution cost compounds across every averaging layer and both hedge legs. A zero-latency, fixed-spread test hides the exact layer that breaks the strategy live. We proved the principle first: same latency strategy, two live accounts, optimized vs default. Avg losing trade fell 6.2 → 2.0 pips, profit factor more than doubled. Read it →https://bjftradinggroup.com/optimizing-phantom-drift-lock-strategies/
