📈 Price Above 50-Day Moving Average BULLISH

Confirms short-term uptrend strength. Stock price must be trading above its 50-day Simple Moving Average.

SMA50 = Sum of 50 closing prices / 50
Pass: Current Price > SMA50
Example:
Current Price: $250.93, SMA50: $226.44 → ✓ PASS

📊 Price Above 200-Day Moving Average BULLISH

Indicates long-term uptrend. Essential for confirming overall bullish momentum.

SMA200 = Sum of 200 closing prices / 200
Pass: Current Price > SMA200
Example:
Current Price: $250.93, SMA200: $214.74 → ✓ PASS

🔄 50-Day MA Above 200-Day MA GOLDEN CROSS

The "Golden Cross" pattern indicating strong bullish momentum when short-term MA is above long-term MA.

Pass: SMA50 > SMA200
Example:
SMA50: $226.44, SMA200: $214.74 → ✓ PASS

📈 Volume Above Average LOW VOLUME

Confirms institutional interest. Current volume should exceed average volume for validation.

Avg Volume = Sum of 20-day volumes / 20
Pass: Current Volume > Average Volume
Example:
Current: 25M, Average: 35M → ❌ FAIL

💪 Positive Relative Strength OUTPERFORMING

Measures stock performance relative to S&P 500. Values above 1.0 indicate outperformance.

RS = (Stock Price / Stock Price 90 days ago) /
(SPY Price / SPY Price 90 days ago)

⚡ Adaptive Learning System

Intelligent batch processing system that learns optimal API timing and adapts to real-time performance feedback.

🕰️ Real-Time Rate Learning

Continuously monitors API response times and adjusts request timing for optimal throughput.

Optimal Delay = Actual Response Time + API Wait Time + Safety Buffer
Learning Rate = 0.1 (Conservative adjustment)
Max Learning Cycles = 5 per session
Example Learning Process:
Initial: 8s delay (conservative start)
After API feedback: 2.3s optimal
Final: 2.8s (with 0.5s safety buffer)

📈 Performance Monitoring

Tracks API call success rates, response times, and rate limit violations in real-time.

Success Rate = Successful Calls / Total Calls
Avg Response Time = Σ(Response Times) / Call Count
Rate Limit Efficiency = Actual Calls / Theoretical Max
Performance Metrics:
Target: 300 calls/min → Achieved: 285 calls/min
Efficiency: 95% (Excellent performance)

🎯 Dynamic Buffer Adjustment

Adjusts safety buffers based on API plan and observed performance patterns.

High-Rate Plans (≥1000/min): 0.5s buffer
Medium Plans (500-999/min): 1.0s buffer
Standard Plans (100-499/min): 2.0s buffer
Basic Plans (<100/min): 8.0s buffer

🧮 Mathematical Precision

Uses precise timing calculations to maximize API utilization while preventing rate limit violations.

Next Call Time = Last Call + Learned Delay + Buffer
Rate Check = Calls in Last 60s < Max Rate Limit
Emergency Brake = Rate >= 95% of limit
Testing the System:
1. Check console logs for "🧮 PRECISE LEARNING"
2. Monitor "API calls used" counter
3. Watch for "Learned: Xs delay" in timing info
4. Observe batch speed improvement over time
