Runbook, failure modes, and deployment checklist.

Operational readiness checklist for running the strategy in production.

Daily runbook

  1. Verify market data feed before the open.
  2. Run overnight backtest against latest data to detect parameter drift.
  3. Start live engine and confirm heartbeat.
  4. Review position snapshot, open risk, and pending stops.
  5. End-of-day: export trades, reconcile P&L, regenerate analytics.
