Scaling Horizontal vs Vertical

Code Structure

The code structure separates concerns: data ingestion, signal generation, risk checks, and order submission. This modularity enables testing and reuse across strategies.

# Example configuration for Scaling Horizontal vs Vertical
strategy:
  name: scaling-horizontal-vs-vertical
  timeframe: 5m
  indicators:
    - rsi
    - ema_fast
    - ema_slow
  entry_conditions:
    - rsi_oversold
    - ema_crossover_bullish
  exit_conditions:
    - rsi_overbought
    - stop_loss_hit
  risk:
    max_position_size: 0.02
    stop_loss_pct: 0.015

Production Notes

In production, scaling horizontal vs vertical requires monitoring for API rate limits, database connection pooling, log rotation, alert thresholds, and automated restart procedures. Document runbooks for incident response.

Performance Metrics

Key metrics include Sharpe ratio, maximum drawdown, win rate, profit factor, and average trade duration. Compare against baseline strategies and adjust parameters based on out-of-sample results.

Configuration Example

Configuration for scaling horizontal vs vertical uses YAML or JSON format. Key parameters include timeframes, signal thresholds, position sizing rules, and risk limits.
