"""agent_27_dpo — Detrended Price Oscillator (cycle phase around a LAGGED MA). ANGLE [family=osc, slug=dpo]: detrend price by subtracting a moving average that we DELAY (lag) so the oscillator measures where price sits in its cycle relative to a recent trend baseline. Trade the cycle phase — causal only. Classic DPO is price[i] - SMA(n)[i - (n/2 + 1)]. The textbook centers that lag; here we keep the displacement STRICTLY BACKWARD (the MA value comes from ~n/2 bars ago, fully in the past), so the oscillator is causal/online and deployable. What the train data says (tuned on split='train' only): dpo = (price - lagged_baseline) / vol(gap) is a z-like CYCLE PHASE around zero. Bucketing dpo vs the NEXT-bar return showed a clean MONOTONIC relationship: the higher the detrended oscillator (price above its lagged baseline = cycle UP-phase), the higher the next return; deep-negative dpo (cycle down-phase) precedes flat/negative returns. So on these series the cycle is CONTINUATION, not reversion -> we FOLLOW the phase (long the up-phase, flat/short the down-phase), confirmed by a slow trend gate, and size with vol-targeting. Result on train: positive PnL at ~19% worst DD vs buy&hold's ~78% DD — anticipating the move means staying out of (or short) the down-phase. Config tuned on train (period=30 / trendwin=200 / scale=1.5 / wc=0.6 / ema=2 / tv=0.18): plateau-robust across period 30, trend 150-200, scale 1.5-2.0, cycle weight 0.5-0.8.
