"""STA03 — Random Forest direction (walk-forward, causal, long-flat). Idea: Small RF (50 trees, max_depth 4) trained walk-forward on causal features decided at close[i-1]. Features: multi-period returns, RSI, vol ratio, trend signals (EMA crossovers). Predicts binary direction of next bar (1=up, 0=down/flat). Position = predicted probability of up, vol-targeted, long-flat only (clip to [0, leverage_cap]). Walk-forward: - Train window: 252 bars (1 year of 1d data; ~252*8 for shorter TF but we stay 1d) - Retrain every 63 bars (quarterly) - Min 252 bars before first prediction; otherwise position=0 Causal guarantee: Feature for bar i uses returns/indicators up to close[i]. Target for bar i is sign(close[i+1]/close[i] - 1) = r[i+1] sign. During training we shift: X[t], y[t] = direction of bar t+1. At prediction time we use X[i] -> predicted prob of next bar going up -> position[i]. altlib eval_weights then holds position[i] during bar i+1 (the shift is done for us). No leak. Grid (<=4 configs, total backtests <=6 since only 1d TF): A: train_win=252, retrain=63, n_estimators=50, max_depth=4 B: train_win=365, retrain=63, n_estimators=50, max_depth=3 C: train_win=252, retrain=21, n_estimators=50, max_depth=4 (monthly retrain) D: train_win=365, retrain=126, n_estimators=100, max_depth=4 (semi-annual retrain) Pick best by min_asset_holdout_sharpe on 1d.
