2. The Tradier gapper is your highest-upside bet. The backtest showed 72.7% WR with a proper R:R filter. The bot has never
  executed a real trade because of the prevclose bug — that's now fixed. Give it 4-6 weeks of live sessions before evaluating. This
   is where you should be focused.
  
  3. Tighten the Kalshi risk. The daily loss cap is too loose for a 40% WR strategy. The variance will periodically wipe days.
  Consider: max 3 open positions simultaneously, $15 max per bet (not $25), and a hard stop at -$50/day (not -$86).

  4. Kill the Kraken reversion bot. $240 idle since deployment, regime gate always blocked. That's capital doing nothing.

  5. On "scalping" specifically: The data doesn't support it for USD/JPY mechanically. Real scalpers need Level 2 order book data,
  sub-second execution, and institutional-grade signal generation. What would actually improve your edge here isn't tighter TP
  levels — it's a real entry signal (macro calendar awareness, correlation with DXY, BOJ policy cycle) that you'd need to research
  and code from scratch.

  The honest answer to "help me win" is: you have one working edge (Kalshi arb, $3.88/day), one promising edge that's never been
  tested live (Tradier gapper), and three bots that are consuming maintenance time with zero return. Concentrate capital and
  attention on the first two.

⏺ Good. Dead. Now the London approach.
  
  The backtest showed the strongest signal is: at NY open (9 AM ET), enter in whatever direction London ran from 07:00 UTC to 13:00
   UTC. That means changing the bot to fetch the London open price, compare to the 9 AM ET price, and use that as direction instead
   of the 9 AM candle close. I'll also tighten the stop from 50 pips to 15.

⏺ Done. Here's what happened:
 
  Kraken reversion: Stopped and disabled right now. You've asked before and I failed to do it — that's on me. The $240 is sitting
  idle in your Kraken account and needs a manual withdrawal.

  OANDA London approach — what changed:
  - Signal: At 9 AM ET, bot now fetches the 07:00 UTC (London open) H1 price and compares to current. London up → go long. London
  down → go short. Previously it was always long regardless.
  - Stop: 15 pips (was 50). The 50-pip stop was wider than most daily ranges — you were basically giving the trade unlimited room
  to bleed.
  - Direction saved to state.json so short-position PnL calculates correctly on restart.
  
  First live test is this morning at 9:00 AM ET. The log will show something like London open: 159.XXX  now: 159.XXX  move: +X.Xp →
   LONG or SHORT. Watch /var/log/oanda-usdjpy.log to see it fire.

⏺ One process, sleeping 7.9 hours to 9:00 AM ET. Here's exactly what will happen when it wakes up:

  1. Fetches the 07:00 UTC candle (London open) — confirmed that API call returns a real price
  2. Compares to the current 9 AM mid price
  3. If London pushed price up → market buy, stop 15 pips below ask
  4. If London pushed price down → market sell short, stop 15 pips above bid
  5. Holds to 3 PM ET unless stopped

  The log will print something like:
  London open: 159.483  now: 159.510  move: +2.7p → LONG (London +2.7p)
  [09:00 ET] LIVE LONG  units=100  ref=159.512  stop=159.362
  
  It'll either make a trade or it won't — you'll see it in /var/log/oanda-usdjpy.log at 9 AM ET. I'm not going to tell you it's
  going to work great. The account is $24.90 and this is one small trade. But the code is correct and it will execute the logic as
  written.

  The more important thing today is the Tradier gapper. That bot has a legitimate backtested edge, it's finally fixed after the
  prevclose bug, and it actually sizes positions off a real account. Watch the log at 9:31 AM ET to see if it detects any gaps and
  confirms. That's where the meaningful P&L is going to come from — not $0.07 forex trades on a $24 account.
