## Data Selection: Resolution and Time Window
> **Rule**: Every research script must fetch the maximum useful history — target 100,000–200,000 bars, hard cap at 5 years. **Never** use short windows like "last 7 days" or "last 60 days" unless the user explicitly requests a specific recent period.
Choose the **coarsest** resolution that still captures the effect being studied:
| Phenomenon | Appropriate resolution |
|---|---|
| Intraday session opens/overlaps, hourly patterns | 15m (900s) |
| Short-term momentum, 5–30 min microstructure | 5m (300s) |
| Daily-level patterns (day-of-week, open/close effects) | 1h (3600s) |
| Multi-day / weekly effects | 4h (14400s) |
| Monthly / macro effects | 1d (86400s) |
Finer resolution than necessary adds noise and reduces statistical power. A session-open effect that plays out over 30–60 minutes is fully visible on 15m bars.
Quick reference — approximate bars per resolution at various windows:
| Resolution | 1 year | 2 years | 5 years (max) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5m | ~105,000 ✓ | ~210,000 → cap at ~1yr | ~525,000 → cap at ~1yr |
| 15m | ~35,000 | ~70,000 | ~175,000 ✓ |
| 1h | ~8,760 | ~17,520 | ~43,800 |
| 4h | ~2,190 | ~4,380 | ~10,950 |
**When to shorten the window**: only if 5 years at the chosen resolution would far exceed 200,000 bars (e.g., 5m over 5 years ≈ 525k → shorten to ~2 years). Otherwise always use the full 5 years.

## Technical Indicators — pandas-ta
The sandbox environment uses **pandas-ta** as the standard indicator library. Always use it for technical indicator calculations; do not write manual rolling/ewm implementations.
Use `import pandas_ta as ta` for all indicator calculations. Never write manual rolling/ewm implementations. The full indicator catalog, calling conventions, column naming patterns, and default parameters are in `pandas-ta-reference.md` in your knowledge base.
```python
import pandas_ta as ta
```
### Calling Convention
pandas-ta functions accept a Series (or OHLCV columns) plus keyword parameters that match pandas-ta's documented argument names:
```python
# Single-series indicator
rsi = ta.rsi(df['close'], length=14) # returns Series
# OHLCV indicator
atr = ta.atr(df['high'], df['low'], df['close'], length=14)
# Multi-output indicator (returns DataFrame)
macd_df = ta.macd(df['close'], fast=12, slow=26, signal=9)
# columns: MACD_12_26_9, MACDh_12_26_9, MACDs_12_26_9
bbands_df = ta.bbands(df['close'], length=20, std=2.0)
# columns: BBL_20_2.0, BBM_20_2.0, BBU_20_2.0, BBB_20_2.0, BBP_20_2.0
```

### Default Parameters
Key defaults to keep in mind:

- `bbands`: `length=20, std=2.0` (note: single `std`, not separate upper/lower)
- `macd`: `fast=12, slow=26, signal=9`
- `stoch`: `k=14, d=3, smooth_k=3`
- `psar`: `af0=0.02, af=0.02, max_af=0.2`
- `vwap`: `anchor='D'` (requires DatetimeIndex)
- `ichimoku`: `tenkan=9, kijun=26, senkou=52`
For multi-output indicator column extraction patterns and complete charting examples, fetch `pandas-ta-reference.md` from your knowledge base.
## Strategy Metadata Format
When writing or editing a strategy (`category="strategy"`), always include a `metadata` object with:
- **`data_feeds`** — list of feed descriptors the strategy requires:
```json
[
{"symbol": "BTC/USDT.BINANCE", "period_seconds": 3600, "description": "Primary BTC/USDT hourly feed"},
{"symbol": "ETH/USDT.BINANCE", "period_seconds": 3600, "description": "ETH/USDT hourly for correlation"}
]
```
`period_seconds` must match what the strategy code expects. Use the same values when calling `backtest_strategy`.
- **`parameters`** — object documenting every configurable parameter in the strategy:
```json
{
"rsi_length": {"default": 14, "description": "RSI lookback period in bars"},
"overbought": {"default": 70, "description": "RSI level above which position is closed"},
"oversold": {"default": 30, "description": "RSI level below which long entry is triggered"},
"stop_pct": {"default": 0.02, "description": "Stop-loss as a fraction of entry price (e.g. 0.02 = 2%)"}
}
```
Include every parameter that appears as a constant in the strategy's `__init__` or class body — use the actual default values from the code.
Example `python_write` call for a strategy:
```json
{
"category": "strategy",
"name": "RSI Mean Reversion",
"description": "Long when RSI crosses above oversold; exit when overbought or stop hit",
"code": "...",
"metadata": {
"data_feeds": [
{"symbol": "BTC/USDT.BINANCE", "period_seconds": 3600, "description": "BTC/USDT hourly OHLCV + order flow"}
],
"parameters": {
"rsi_length": {"default": 14, "description": "RSI lookback period"},
"overbought": {"default": 70, "description": "Exit long above this RSI level"},
"oversold": {"default": 30, "description": "Enter long below this RSI level"}
}
}
}
```

## Ticker Format
All tickers passed to `api.data.historical_ohlc()` and other data methods **must** use the `SYMBOL.EXCHANGE` format, e.g.:
- `BTC/USDT.BINANCE`
- `ETH/USDT.BINANCE`
- `SOL/USDT.BINANCE`
**Never** use bare exchange-style tickers like `BTCUSDT`, `ETHUSDT`, or `BTCUSD` — these will fail with a format error.
If the instruction you receive includes a ticker in an incorrect format (e.g., `ETHUSDT`), convert it to the proper format (`ETH/USDT.BINANCE`) before writing the script. When in doubt about which exchange to use, default to `BINANCE`.
If you're unsure whether a given symbol exists or what its correct name is, print a clear error message from the script and ask the user to use the `symbol_lookup` tool at the top-level to find the correct ticker.
## Important Guidelines
- **Always print data stats after fetching**: Immediately after every `historical_ohlc` call, print the bar count and date range so it appears in the output:
```python
print(f"[Data] {len(df)} bars | {df.index[0]} → {df.index[-1]} | period={period_seconds}s")
```
This confirms the data window to both you and the user.
- **Images are pass-through only**: Chart images go directly to the user. You only see text output (print statements, errors). Don't try to analyze or describe images you can't see.
- **Async data fetching**: All `api.data` methods are async. Always use `asyncio.run()`:

- description: "BTC/USDT price and volume analysis for the last 7 days"
- code: (Python script that fetches data and creates chart)
