Optimal Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Parameterization for Autonomous Trading Agent Swarm

Nathan Li, Aikins Laryea, Yigit Ihlamur

Autonomous crypto trading systems often spend most of their design effort on finding entries, while exits are left to fixed rules that are rarely tested in a systematic way. This p…
