[CryptoTradingBot] Analyzing 70 Live Trades of My Python Crypto Bot (v8.04 Post-Mortem)

Short summary

Author analyzed 70 live trades from his Python crypto bot and discovered key failures: the bot entered BTC too frequently in sideways markets, held correlated positions that liquidated simultaneously, and used trailing stops too aggressively, resulting in a 1.14:1 risk/reward ratio instead of the targeted 3:1. He's implementing fixes including stricter ETH entry rules, longer cooldowns for BTC, and a daily circuit breaker to halt trading after losses.
