-| _Protections_ | | | |
-| custom_protections.trade_duration_candles | 72 | int >= 1 | Estimated trade duration in candles. Scales protections stop duration candles and trade limit. |
-| custom_protections.lookback_period_fraction | 0.5 | float (0,1] | Fraction of Freqtrade's [`fit_live_predictions_candles`][freqai-parameters] used to calculate `lookback_period_candles` for _MaxDrawdown_ and _StoplossGuard_ protections. |
-| custom_protections.cooldown.enabled | true | bool | Enable/disable _CooldownPeriod_ protection. |
-| custom_protections.cooldown.stop_duration_candles | 4 | int >= 1 | Number of candles to wait before allowing new trades after a trade is closed. |
-| custom_protections.drawdown.enabled | true | bool | Enable/disable _MaxDrawdown_ protection. |
-| custom_protections.drawdown.max_allowed_drawdown | 0.2 | float (0,1) | Maximum allowed drawdown. |
-| custom_protections.stoploss.enabled | true | bool | Enable/disable _StoplossGuard_ protection. |
-| _Leverage_ | | | |
-| leverage | `proposed_leverage` | float [1.0, max_leverage] | Leverage. Fallback to `proposed_leverage` for the pair. |
-| _Exit pricing_ | | | |
-| exit_pricing.trade_price_target_method | `moving_average` | enum {`moving_average`,`quantile_interpolation`,`weighted_average`} | Trade NATR computation method. |
-| _Reversal confirmation_ | | | |
-| reversal_confirmation.lookback_period_candles | 0 | int >= 0 | Prior confirming candles; 0 = none. With confirmation enabled, unmeasurable history rejects entries, while a valid current exit may still reduce exposure; this does not imply profitability. |
-| reversal_confirmation.decay_fraction | 0.5 | float (0,1] | Geometric per-candle volatility adjusted reversal threshold relaxation factor. |
-| reversal_confirmation.min_natr_multiplier_fraction | 0.0095 | float [0,1] | Lower bound fraction (< upper bound) for volatility adjusted reversal threshold. |
-| reversal_confirmation.max_natr_multiplier_fraction | 0.0125 | float [0,1] | Upper bound fraction (> lower bound) for volatility adjusted reversal threshold. |
-| _Regressor model_ | | | |
-| freqai.regressor | `xgboost` | enum {`xgboost`,`lightgbm`,`histgradientboostingregressor`,`ngboost`,`catboost`} | Machine learning regressor algorithm. |
-| freqai.continual_learning | false | bool | Continue XGBoost, LightGBM, or CPU CatBoost training from the previously deployed model, so its booster grows at every retrain; delete trained models to reset. Under `test_size` two-stage selection, HPO and the pre-refit selection model cold-start and only the final refit continues, growing by the selection model's round count (see `test_size`). GPU CatBoost and other regressors cold-start instead. |
-| _Model training parameters_ | | | |
-| freqai.model_training_parameters.gpu_vram_gb | 80 | int > 0 | Available GPU VRAM (GB) for CatBoost, not total. Any positive value is floored to the nearest supported tier `<= value` (tiers 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 64, 80; values below 8 use tier 8). Constrains `depth`, `border_count`, and `max_ctr_complexity` ranges. |
-| _Data split parameters_ | | | |
-| freqai.data_split_parameters.method | `train_test_split` | enum {`train_test_split`,`timeseries_split`} | Data splitting strategy. `train_test_split` for sequential split, `timeseries_split` for chronological split with configurable gap. |
-| freqai.data_split_parameters.test_size | 0.1 | float [0,1) \| int >= 0 \| null | Outer holdout size; `0` disables the holdout (single-stage fit, `train_test_split` only). The same parameter reserves the chronological tail of the remaining training rows as inner validation for HPO and early stopping; a fractional value is relative to those remaining rows, not the original window. The holdout is predicted once and reported as weighted `holdout_rmse` in the original label scale; it measures the cold-started pre-refit selection model, not the refitted deployed model. `null` (sklearn dynamic sizing) applies only to `timeseries_split`; `train_test_split` requires a float or int; inner validation then falls back to `0.1`. |
-| freqai.data_split_parameters.n_splits | 5 | int >= 2 | Controls train/test proportions for `timeseries_split` (higher = larger train set). |
-| freqai.data_split_parameters.gap | 0 | int >= 0 | Samples to exclude between train/test for `timeseries_split`. `0` auto-derives the gap (source and lower-bound rule depend on `causal_mode`; see `causal_mode`). Not used by `train_test_split`. |
-| freqai.data_split_parameters.max_train_size | null | int >= 1 \| null | Maximum training set size for `timeseries_split`. When set, creates a sliding window instead of expanding train set. `null` = no limit. |
-| _Label smoothing_ | | | |
-| freqai.label_smoothing.method | `gaussian` | enum {`none`,`gaussian`,`kaiser`,`kaiser_bessel_derived`,`triang`,`smm`,`sma`,`savgol`,`gaussian_filter1d`} | Label smoothing method (`smm`=median, `sma`=mean, `savgol`=Savitzky–Golay). |
-| freqai.label_smoothing.window_candles | 5 | int >= 1 | Requested smoothing window in candles. Runtime raises values below 3; Gaussian, Kaiser, triangular, SMM and SMA use the next odd length, `kaiser_bessel_derived` uses the next even length, and `savgol` uses an odd length greater than `polyorder`. `none` does not smooth. For `gaussian_filter1d`, this value only gates series shorter than the requested window; `sigma` defines the kernel. |
-| freqai.label_smoothing.beta | 8.0 | float > 0 | Shape parameter for `kaiser` and `kaiser_bessel_derived` kernels. |
-| freqai.label_smoothing.polyorder | 3 | int >= 0 | Polynomial order for `savgol` smoothing. |
-| freqai.label_smoothing.mode | `mirror` | `savgol`: enum {`mirror`,`constant`,`nearest`,`wrap`,`interp`}; `gaussian_filter1d`: enum {`mirror`,`constant`,`nearest`,`wrap`} | Boundary mode for `savgol` and `gaussian_filter1d`; ignored otherwise. |
-| freqai.label_smoothing.sigma | 1.0 | float > 0 | Gaussian `sigma` for `gaussian_filter1d` smoothing. |
-| _Label weighting_ | | | |
-| freqai.label_weighting.strategy | `none` | enum {`none`,`uniform`,`amplitude`,`amplitude_threshold_ratio`,`volume_rate`,`speed`,`efficiency_ratio`,`volume_weighted_efficiency_ratio`,`combined`} | Label weighting metric: none (`none`), uniform unit weight on every detected pivot (`uniform`), swing amplitude (`amplitude`), swing amplitude / median volatility-threshold ratio (`amplitude_threshold_ratio`), swing volume per candle (`volume_rate`), swing speed (`speed`), swing efficiency ratio (`efficiency_ratio`), swing volume-weighted efficiency ratio (`volume_weighted_efficiency_ratio`), or combined metrics aggregation (`combined`). Switching between `none` and any other strategy requires deleting trained models to realign training emphasis. |
-| freqai.label_weighting.metric_coefficients | {} | dict[str, finite float > 0] | Per-metric coefficients for `combined` strategy. Keys: `amplitude`, `amplitude_threshold_ratio`, `volume_rate`, `speed`, `efficiency_ratio`, `volume_weighted_efficiency_ratio`. Invalid entries are ignored; when none remain, all metrics are selected with coefficient `1.0`. |
-| freqai.label_weighting.aggregation | `arithmetic_mean` | enum {`arithmetic_mean`,`geometric_mean`,`harmonic_mean`,`quadratic_mean`,`weighted_median`,`softmax`} | Metric aggregation method for `combined` strategy. `arithmetic_mean`=(Σ(w·m)/Σ(w)), `geometric_mean`=(∏(m^w))^(1/Σw), `harmonic_mean`=Σ(w)/(Σ(w/m)), `quadratic_mean`=(Σ(w·m²)/Σ(w))^(1/2), `weighted_median`=Q₀.₅(m,w), `softmax`=Σ(m·s_i) where s_i=w_i·exp(m_i/T)/Σ(w_j·exp(m_j/T)). |
-| freqai.label_weighting.softmax_temperature | 1.0 | float > 0 | Temperature T for `softmax` aggregation, controls distribution sharpness. |
-| freqai.label_weighting.fill_method | `zero` | enum {`zero`,`epsilon`,`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`} | Off-pivot weighting scheme. `zero` hard-zeros off-pivot rows; `epsilon` applies the epsilon floor `fill_epsilon * <fill_epsilon_baseline>(pivot_weights)`; `gaussian` applies per-pivot Gaussian bumps; `epsilon_gaussian` sums the `epsilon` floor and the `gaussian` bumps. Pivot rows take the max of their raw weight and the off-pivot field at their index (no-op for `zero`). Under `causal_mode=true` the epsilon baseline is computed causally (see `causal_mode`). Switching away from `zero` may require retuning tree-leaf regularization (`min_child_weight`, `lambda`) and resetting any prior Optuna study. Changing this parameter requires deleting trained models. |
-| freqai.label_weighting.fill_epsilon | 0.000001 | float [0,1] | Off-pivot fraction of the pivot baseline. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`epsilon`,`epsilon_gaussian`}. |
-| freqai.label_weighting.fill_epsilon_baseline | `mean` | enum {`mean`,`median`} | Pivot baseline statistic. `mean` tracks central tendency; `median` is robust against pivot-weight skew. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`epsilon`,`epsilon_gaussian`}. |
-| freqai.label_weighting.fill_sigma_candles | 25.0 | float >= 0.5 | Gaussian standard deviation in candles for the per-pivot bumps. Acts as the upper bound on per-pivot sigma when `fill_bandwidth == "knn"`. Lower bound 0.5 prevents severe underflow in the Gaussian tail. Under `causal_mode=true` the bumps use a finite support `ceil(4 * fill_sigma_candles)` (see `causal_mode`). Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`}. |
-| freqai.label_weighting.fill_sigma_min_candles | 0.5 | float >= 0.5 | Lower bound on per-pivot sigma in candles when `fill_bandwidth == "knn"`. Clipped to `fill_sigma_candles` when larger. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`} or `fill_bandwidth != "knn"`. |
-| freqai.label_weighting.fill_bandwidth | `fixed` | enum {`fixed`,`knn`} | Per-pivot Gaussian bandwidth selector. `fixed` applies a constant `fill_sigma_candles` to every pivot (legacy behavior). `knn` adapts each pivot's sigma to local pivot density via `sigma_p = clip(fill_bandwidth_alpha * d_k(p), fill_sigma_min_candles, fill_sigma_candles)` where `d_k(p)` is the index distance to the `k`-th nearest pivot neighbor ([Loftsgaarden and Quesenberry][knn-density]; [Silverman, §5.2][silverman-density]). Mitigates the crushing of weaker pivots by stronger neighbors in dense clusters. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`}. |
-| freqai.label_weighting.fill_bandwidth_neighbors | 1 | int >= 1 | `k` for the k-nearest-neighbor bandwidth selector. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`} or `fill_bandwidth != "knn"`. |
-| freqai.label_weighting.fill_bandwidth_alpha | 0.5 | float > 0 | Multiplicative factor on the k-th neighbor distance. Smaller values produce sharper, more separated Gaussians; larger values approach the `fixed` behavior. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`} or `fill_bandwidth != "knn"`. |
-| freqai.label_weighting.support_policy | `fallback` | enum {`fallback`,`raise`} | Policy when active label weighting fails support checks (evaluated on the training rows surviving upstream filtering). `raise` aborts the fit with `ValueError`; `fallback` logs a `WARNING` and uses sanitized base sample weights for that fit. Eval (test/val) weights bypass this policy and fall back only when label support collapses; shape or alignment errors remain fatal. |
-| freqai.label_weighting.min_pivot_equivalent_count | 3 | int >= 1 | Minimum number of surviving pivot-equivalent label weights required after filtering. Pivot-equivalent rows are weights at least 10% of the surviving maximum label weight. |
-| freqai.label_weighting.min_positive_label_weight_fraction | 0.01 | float [0,1] | Minimum fraction of filtered training rows with finite positive label weights. |
-| freqai.label_weighting.min_effective_sample_size | 3.0 | float >= 1 | Minimum Kish effective sample size of the final composed training weights. |
-| _Label pipeline_ | | | |
-| freqai.label_pipeline.standardization | `none` | enum {`none`,`zscore`,`robust`,`mmad`,`power_yj`} | Standardization method applied to labels before normalization. `none`=w, `zscore`=(w-μ)/σ, `robust`=(w-median)/(Q₃-Q₁), `mmad`=(w-median)/(MAD·k), `power_yj`=YJ(w). |
-| freqai.label_pipeline.robust_quantiles | [0.25, 0.75] | list[float] where 0 <= Q1 < Q3 <= 1 | Quantile range for robust standardization, Q1 and Q3. |
-| freqai.label_pipeline.mmad_scaling_factor | 1.4826 | float > 0 | Scaling factor for MMAD standardization. |
-| freqai.label_pipeline.normalization | `maxabs` | enum {`maxabs`,`minmax`,`sigmoid`,`none`} | Normalization method applied to labels. `maxabs`=w/max(\|w\|), `minmax`=low+(w-min)/(max-min)·(high-low), `sigmoid`=2·σ(scale·w)-1, `none`=w. |
-| freqai.label_pipeline.minmax_range | [-1.0, 1.0] | list[float], low < high | Target range for `minmax` normalization, min and max. |
-| freqai.label_pipeline.sigmoid_scale | 1.0 | float > 0 | Scale parameter for `sigmoid` normalization, controls steepness. |
-| freqai.label_pipeline.gamma | 1.0 | float (0,10] | Contrast exponent applied to labels after normalization: >1 emphasizes extrema, values between 0 and 1 soften. |
-| _Feature parameters_ | | | |
-| freqai.feature_parameters.label_period_candles | min/max midpoint | int >= 1 | Zigzag labeling NATR period. |
-| freqai.feature_parameters.label_horizon_candles | `label_period_candles` | int >= 1 | Conservative fixed purge horizon in candles: the magnitude of the causal guards' purge and of the default `timeseries_split` gap (see `causal_mode` for how the guards consume it). When unset, falls back to `label_period_candles`. |
-| freqai.feature_parameters.causal_mode | true | bool | Causal split-guard master toggle. When `true` (default): (1) rejects `data_split_parameters.shuffle=true`, `feature_parameters.shuffle_after_split=true`, and `feature_parameters.reverse_train_test_order=true` (two of these rejections are independent of this toggle: `timeseries_split` rejects `shuffle_after_split` structurally, and an active holdout `test_size != 0` rejects all three at evaluation); (2) for `timeseries_split`, auto-sets `gap=label_horizon_candles` when `gap` is unset or `0` and rejects an explicit `gap<label_horizon_candles`; (3) for `train_test_split`, applies the same fixed `label_horizon_candles` purge around the train/test boundary; (4) both split methods additionally drop any train row whose label-aware availability reaches the test boundary, computed as the row-wise maximum over exact Zigzag confirmation time, centered-smoothing availability across each kernel support, and active label-weight availability (closing-pivot backfill, finite-support Gaussian bands `ceil(4 * fill_sigma_candles)`, k-NN adaptive-bandwidth sigma confirmation, and deferral of prefix-unstable non-finite weight imputations to the frame boundary); (5) label weighting becomes causal: the `epsilon` baseline at each row uses only pivot weights available with that row's label. `false` is deprecated (acausal baselines only): the causal split-guard rejections are lifted, but the toggle-independent ones remain (`timeseries_split` still rejects `shuffle_after_split`, and an active holdout still rejects all three at evaluation); `timeseries_split` `gap` auto-sets from `label_period_candles`, and Gaussian fills keep the legacy unbounded tails. |
-| freqai.feature_parameters.min_label_period_candles | 12 | int >= 1 | Minimum labeling NATR period used for reversals labeling HPO. |
-| freqai.feature_parameters.max_label_period_candles | 24 | int >= 1 | Maximum labeling NATR period used for reversals labeling HPO. |

-| freqai.feature_parameters.label_p_order | null | `minkowski`: finite float > 0; `power_mean`: finite float; null otherwise | Lp exponent for parameterized distance metrics. Used by `minkowski` distance (default 2.0) and `power_mean` distance (default 1.0). The KNN `power_mean` aggregation exponent is configured by `label_density_aggregation_param`. Ignored by other metrics. |
-| freqai.feature_parameters.label_method | `compromise_programming` | enum {`compromise_programming`,`topsis`,`kmeans`,`kmeans2`,`knn`,`medoid`} | HPO `label` Pareto front trial selection method. `kmedoids` is unavailable in the current Python 3.14 image. |

-| freqai.feature_parameters.label_density_n_neighbors | 5 | int >= 1 | Number of neighbors for KNN. |
-| freqai.feature_parameters.label_density_aggregation_param | aggregation-dependent | `power_mean`: finite float; `quantile`: float [0,1]; null otherwise | Tunable for KNN neighbor distance aggregation: Lp exponent (`power_mean`) or quantile value (`quantile`). |
-| freqai.feature_parameters.scaler | `minmax` | enum {`minmax`,`maxabs`,`standard`,`robust`} | Feature scaling method. `minmax`=MinMaxScaler, `maxabs`=MaxAbsScaler, `standard`=StandardScaler, `robust`=RobustScaler. Changing this parameter requires deleting trained models. |

-| freqai.optuna_hyperopt.enabled | false | bool | Enables regressor and dynamic label HPO. |
-| freqai.optuna_hyperopt.sampler | `tpe` | enum {`tpe`,`auto`} | HPO sampler algorithm for `hp` namespace. `tpe` uses [TPESampler](https://optuna.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/samplers/generated/optuna.samplers.TPESampler.html) with multivariate, group, and constant_liar (when multiple workers), `auto` uses [AutoSampler](https://hub.optuna.org/samplers/auto_sampler). |
-| freqai.optuna_hyperopt.label_sampler | `auto` | enum {`auto`,`tpe`,`nsgaii`,`nsgaiii`} | HPO sampler algorithm for multi-objective `label` namespace. `nsgaii` uses [NSGAIISampler](https://optuna.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/samplers/generated/optuna.samplers.NSGAIISampler.html), `nsgaiii` uses [NSGAIIISampler](https://optuna.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/samplers/generated/optuna.samplers.NSGAIIISampler.html). |

-| freqai.optuna_hyperopt.reset_label_study_on_schema_mismatch | true | bool | Reset a persisted `label` study when its selection schema is missing, invalid, or incompatible. `true` keeps the historical destructive reset, deleting the study before recreating it; `false` preserves its trials and stored metadata, permits caller-managed reuse in memory, and does not persist selected params until the schema is reconciled. Both fail closed: an inspection error, or (under `true`) a deletion error, aborts study creation. Has no effect when `continuous=true` or outside live/dry-run modes, where studies are always reset. |
-| freqai.optuna_hyperopt.vary_model_seed_by_trial | true | bool | Add `trial.number` to each regressor's configured model seed (or its default seed of `1`) during HPO. `true` samples model randomness across trials and preserves the historical behavior; `false` evaluates every trial and the final fit with the same model seed. This does not change `freqai.optuna_hyperopt.seed`. |

GPU CatBoost and other regressors cold-start instead. |
+| _Model training parameters_ | | | |
+| freqai.model_training_parameters.gpu_vram_gb | 80 | int > 0 | Available GPU VRAM (GB) for CatBoost, not total. Any positive value is floored to the nearest supported tier `<= value` (tiers 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 64, 80; values below 8 use tier 8). Constrains `depth`, `border_count`, and `max_ctr_complexity` ranges. |
+| _Data split parameters_ | | | |
+| freqai.data_split_parameters.method | `train_test_split` | enum {`train_test_split`,`timeseries_split`} | Data splitting strategy. `train_test_split` for sequential split, `timeseries_split` for chronological split with configurable gap. |
+| freqai.data_split_parameters.test_size | 0.1 | float [0,1) \| int >= 0 \| null | Outer holdout size; `0` disables the holdout (single-stage fit, `train_test_split` only). The same parameter reserves the chronological tail of the remaining training rows as inner validation for HPO and early stopping; a fractional value is relative to those remaining rows, not the original window. The holdout is predicted once and reported as weighted `holdout_rmse` in the original label scale; it measures the cold-started pre-refit selection model, not the refitted deployed model. `null` (sklearn dynamic sizing) applies only to `timeseries_split`; `train_test_split` requires a float or int; inner validation then falls back to `0.1`. |
+| freqai.data_split_parameters.n_splits | 5 | int >= 2 | Controls train/test proportions for `timeseries_split` (higher = larger train set). |
+| freqai.data_split_parameters.gap | 0 | int >= 0 | Samples to exclude between train/test for `timeseries_split`. `0` auto-derives the gap (source and lower-bound rule depend on `causal_mode`; see `causal_mode`). Not used by `train_test_split`. |
+| freqai.data_split_parameters.max_train_size | null | int >= 1 \| null | Maximum training set size for `timeseries_split`. When set, creates a sliding window instead of expanding train set. `null` = no limit. |
+| _Label smoothing_ | | | |
+| freqai.label_smoothing.method | `gaussian` | enum {`none`,`gaussian`,`kaiser`,`kaiser_bessel_derived`,`triang`,`smm`,`sma`,`savgol`,`gaussian_filter1d`} | Label smoothing method (`smm`=median, `sma`=mean, `savgol`=Savitzky–Golay). |
+| freqai.label_smoothing.window_candles | 5 | int >= 1 | Requested smoothing window in candles. Runtime raises values below 3; Gaussian, Kaiser, triangular, SMM and SMA use the next odd length, `kaiser_bessel_derived` uses the next even length, and `savgol` uses an odd length greater than `polyorder`. `none` does not smooth. For `gaussian_filter1d`, this value only gates series shorter than the requested window; `sigma` defines the kernel. |
+| freqai.label_smoothing.beta | 8.0 | float > 0 | Shape parameter for `kaiser` and `kaiser_bessel_derived` kernels. |
+| freqai.label_smoothing.polyorder | 3 | int >= 0 | Polynomial order for `savgol` smoothing. |
+| freqai.label_smoothing.mode | `mirror` | `savgol`: enum {`mirror`,`constant`,`nearest`,`wrap`,`interp`}; `gaussian_filter1d`: enum {`mirror`,`constant`,`nearest`,`wrap`} | Boundary mode for `savgol` and `gaussian_filter1d`; ignored otherwise. |
+| freqai.label_smoothing.sigma | 1.0 | float > 0 | Gaussian `sigma` for `gaussian_filter1d` smoothing. |
+| _Label weighting_ | | | |
+| freqai.label_weighting.strategy | `none` | enum {`none`,`uniform`,`amplitude`,`amplitude_threshold_ratio`,`volume_rate`,`speed`,`efficiency_ratio`,`volume_weighted_efficiency_ratio`,`combined`} | Label weighting metric: none (`none`), uniform unit weight on every detected pivot (`uniform`), swing amplitude (`amplitude`), swing amplitude / median volatility-threshold ratio (`amplitude_threshold_ratio`), swing volume per candle (`volume_rate`), swing speed (`speed`), swing efficiency ratio (`efficiency_ratio`), swing volume-weighted efficiency ratio (`volume_weighted_efficiency_ratio`), or combined metrics aggregation (`combined`). Switching between `none` and any other strategy requires deleting trained models to realign training emphasis. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.metric_coefficients | {} | dict[str, finite float > 0] | Per-metric coefficients for `combined` strategy. Keys: `amplitude`, `amplitude_threshold_ratio`, `volume_rate`, `speed`, `efficiency_ratio`, `volume_weighted_efficiency_ratio`. Invalid entries are ignored; when none remain, all metrics are selected with coefficient `1.0`. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.aggregation | `arithmetic_mean` | enum {`arithmetic_mean`,`geometric_mean`,`harmonic_mean`,`quadratic_mean`,`weighted_median`,`softmax`} | Metric aggregation method for `combined` strategy. `arithmetic_mean`=(Σ(w·m)/Σ(w)), `geometric_mean`=(∏(m^w))^(1/Σw), `harmonic_mean`=Σ(w)/(Σ(w/m)), `quadratic_mean`=(Σ(w·m²)/Σ(w))^(1/2), `weighted_median`=Q₀.₅(m,w), `softmax`=Σ(m·s_i) where s_i=w_i·exp(m_i/T)/Σ(w_j·exp(m_j/T)). |
+| freqai.label_weighting.softmax_temperature | 1.0 | float > 0 | Temperature T for `softmax` aggregation, controls distribution sharpness. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_method | `zero` | enum {`zero`,`epsilon`,`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`} | Off-pivot weighting scheme. `zero` hard-zeros off-pivot rows; `epsilon` applies the epsilon floor `fill_epsilon * <fill_epsilon_baseline>(pivot_weights)`; `gaussian` applies per-pivot Gaussian bumps; `epsilon_gaussian` sums the `epsilon` floor and the `gaussian` bumps. Pivot rows take the max of their raw weight and the off-pivot field at their index (no-op for `zero`). Under `causal_mode=true` the epsilon baseline is computed causally (see `causal_mode`). Switching away from `zero` may require retuning tree-leaf regularization (`min_child_weight`, `lambda`) and resetting any prior Optuna study. Changing this parameter requires deleting trained models. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_epsilon | 0.000001 | float [0,1] | Off-pivot fraction of the pivot baseline. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`epsilon`,`epsilon_gaussian`}. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_epsilon_baseline | `mean` | enum {`mean`,`median`} | Pivot baseline statistic. `mean` tracks central tendency; `median` is robust against pivot-weight skew. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`epsilon`,`epsilon_gaussian`}. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_sigma_candles | 25.0 | float >= 0.5 | Gaussian standard deviation in candles for the per-pivot bumps. Acts as the upper bound on per-pivot sigma when `fill_bandwidth == "knn"`. Lower bound 0.5 prevents severe underflow in the Gaussian tail. Under `causal_mode=true` the bumps use a finite support `ceil(4 * fill_sigma_candles)` (see `causal_mode`). Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`}. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_sigma_min_candles | 0.5 | float >= 0.5 | Lower bound on per-pivot sigma in candles when `fill_bandwidth == "knn"`. Clipped to `fill_sigma_candles` when larger. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`} or `fill_bandwidth != "knn"`. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_bandwidth | `fixed` | enum {`fixed`,`knn`} | Per-pivot Gaussian bandwidth selector. `fixed` applies a constant `fill_sigma_candles` to every pivot (legacy behavior). `knn` adapts each pivot's sigma to local pivot density via `sigma_p = clip(fill_bandwidth_alpha * d_k(p), fill_sigma_min_candles, fill_sigma_candles)` where `d_k(p)` is the index distance to the `k`-th nearest pivot neighbor ([Loftsgaarden and Quesenberry][knn-density]; [Silverman, §5.2][silverman-density]). Mitigates the crushing of weaker pivots by stronger neighbors in dense clusters. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`}. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_bandwidth_neighbors | 1 | int >= 1 | `k` for the k-nearest-neighbor bandwidth selector. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`} or `fill_bandwidth != "knn"`. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_bandwidth_alpha | 0.5 | float > 0 | Multiplicative factor on the k-th neighbor distance. Smaller values produce sharper, more separated Gaussians; larger values approach the `fixed` behavior. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`} or `fill_bandwidth != "knn"`. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.support_policy | `fallback` | enum {`fallback`,`raise`} | Policy when active label weighting fails support checks (evaluated on the training rows surviving upstream filtering). `raise` aborts the fit with `ValueError`; `fallback` logs a `WARNING` and uses sanitized base sample weights for that fit. Eval (test/val) weights bypass this policy and fall back only when label support collapses; shape or alignment errors remain fatal. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.min_pivot_equivalent_count | 3 | int >= 1 | Minimum number of surviving pivot-equivalent label weights required after filtering. Pivot-equivalent rows are weights at least 10% of the surviving maximum label weight. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.min_positive_label_weight_fraction | 0.01 | float [0,1] | Minimum fraction of filtered training rows with finite positive label weights. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.min_effective_sample_size | 3.0 | float >= 1 | Minimum Kish effective sample size of the final composed training weights. |
+| _Label pipeline_ | | | |
+| freqai.label_pipeline.standardization | `none` | enum {`none`,`zscore`,`robust`,`mmad`,`power_yj`} | Standardization method applied to labels before normalization. `none`=w, `zscore`=(w-μ)/σ, `robust`=(w-median)/(Q₃-Q₁), `mmad`=(w-median)/(MAD·k), `power_yj`=YJ(w). |
+| freqai.label_pipeline.robust_quantiles | [0.25, 0.75] | list[float] where 0 <= Q1 < Q3 <= 1 | Quantile range for robust standardization, Q1 and Q3. |
+| freqai.label_pipeline.mmad_scaling_factor | 1.4826 | float > 0 | Scaling factor for MMAD standardization. |
+| freqai.label_pipeline.normalization | `maxabs` | enum {`maxabs`,`minmax`,`sigmoid`,`none`} | Normalization method applied to labels. `maxabs`=w/max(\|w\|), `minmax`=low+(w-min)/(max-min)·(high-low), `sigmoid`=2·σ(scale·w)-1, `none`=w. |
+| freqai.label_pipeline.minmax_range | [-1.0, 1.0] | list[float], low < high | Target range for `minmax` normalization, min and max. |
+| freqai.label_pipeline.sigmoid_scale | 1.0 | float > 0 | Scale parameter for `sigmoid` normalization, controls steepness. |
+| freqai.label_pipeline.gamma | 1.0 | float (0,10] | Contrast exponent applied to labels after normalization: >1 emphasizes extrema, values between 0 and 1 soften. |
+| _Feature parameters_ | | | |
+| freqai.feature_parameters.label_period_candles | min/max midpoint | int >= 1 | Zigzag labeling NATR period. |
+| freqai.feature_parameters.label_horizon_candles | `label_period_candles` | int >= 1 | Conservative fixed purge horizon in candles: the magnitude of the causal guards' purge and of the default `timeseries_split` gap (see `causal_mode` for how the guards consume it). When unset, falls back to `label_period_candles`. |
+| freqai.feature_parameters.causal_mode | true | bool | Causal split-guard master toggle. When `true` (default): (1) rejects `data_split_parameters.shuffle=true`, `feature_parameters.shuffle_after_split=true`, and `feature_parameters.reverse_train_test_order=true` (two of these rejections are independent of this toggle: `timeseries_split` rejects `shuffle_after_split` structurally, and an active holdout `test_size != 0` rejects all three at evaluation); (2) for `timeseries_split`, auto-sets `gap=label_horizon_candles` when `gap` is unset or `0` and rejects an explicit `gap<label_horizon_candles`; (3) for `train_test_split`, applies the same fixed `label_horizon_candles` purge around the train/test boundary; (4) both split methods additionally drop any train row whose label-aware availability reaches the test boundary, computed as the row-wise maximum over exact Zigzag confirmation time, centered-smoothing availability across each kernel support, and active label-weight availability (closing-pivot backfill, finite-support Gaussian bands `ceil(4 * fill_sigma_candles)`, k-NN adaptive-bandwidth sigma confirmation, and deferral of prefix-unstable non-finite weight imputations to the frame boundary); (5) label weighting becomes causal: the `epsilon` baseline at each row uses only pivot weights available with that row's label. `false` is deprecated (acausal baselines only): the causal split-guard rejections are lifted, but the toggle-independent ones remain (`timeseries_split` still rejects `shuffle_after_split`, and an active holdout still rejects all three at evaluation); `timeseries_split` `gap` auto-sets from `label_period_candles`, and Gaussian fills keep the legacy unbounded tails. |
+| freqai.feature_parameters.min_label_period_candles | 12 | int >= 1 | Minimum labeling NATR period used for reversals labeling HPO. |
+| freqai.feature_parameters.max_label_period_candles | 24 | int >= 1 | Maximum labeling NATR period used for reversals labeling HPO. |

Objectives: (1) number of detected reversals, (2) median swing amplitude, (3) median (swing amplitude / median volatility-threshold ratio), (4) median swing volume per candle, (5) median swing speed, (6) median swing efficiency ratio, (7) median swing volume-weighted efficiency ratio. |
+| freqai.feature_parameters.label_p_order | null | `minkowski`: finite float > 0; `power_mean`: finite float; null otherwise | Lp exponent for parameterized distance metrics. Used by `minkowski` distance (default 2.0) and `power_mean` distance (default 1.0). The KNN `power_mean` aggregation exponent is configured by `label_density_aggregation_param`. Ignored by other metrics. |
+| freqai.feature_parameters.label_method | `compromise_programming` | enum {`compromise_programming`,`topsis`,`kmeans`,`kmeans2`,`knn`,`medoid`} | HPO `label` Pareto front trial selection method. `kmedoids` is unavailable in the current Python 3.14 image. |

+| freqai.feature_parameters.label_density_aggregation | `power_mean` | enum {`power_mean`,`quantile`,`min`,`max`} | Aggregation method for KNN neighbor distances. |
+| freqai.feature_parameters.label_density_n_neighbors | 5 | int >= 1 | Number of neighbors for KNN. |
+| freqai.feature_parameters.label_density_aggregation_param | aggregation-dependent | `power_mean`: finite float; `quantile`: float [0,1]; null otherwise | Tunable for KNN neighbor distance aggregation: Lp exponent (`power_mean`) or quantile value (`quantile`). |
+| freqai.feature_parameters.scaler | `minmax` | enum {`minmax`,`maxabs`,`standard`,`robust`} | Feature scaling method. `minmax`=MinMaxScaler, `maxabs`=MaxAbsScaler, `standard`=StandardScaler, `robust`=RobustScaler. Changing this parameter requires deleting trained models. |

+| _Optuna / HPO_ | | | |
+| freqai.optuna_hyperopt.enabled | false | bool | Enables regressor and dynamic label HPO. |
+| freqai.optuna_hyperopt.sampler | `tpe` | enum {`tpe`,`auto`} | HPO sampler algorithm for `hp` namespace. `tpe` uses [TPESampler](https://optuna.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/samplers/generated/optuna.samplers.TPESampler.html) with multivariate, group, and constant_liar (when multiple workers), `auto` uses [AutoSampler](https://hub.optuna.org/samplers/auto_sampler). |
+| freqai.optuna_hyperopt.label_sampler | `auto` | enum {`auto`,`tpe`,`nsgaii`,`nsgaiii`} | HPO sampler algorithm for multi-objective `label` namespace. `nsgaii` uses [NSGAIISampler](https://optuna.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/samplers/generated/optuna.samplers.NSGAIISampler.html), `nsgaiii` uses [NSGAIIISampler](https://optuna.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/samplers/generated/optuna.samplers.NSGAIIISampler.html). |

+| freqai.optuna_hyperopt.n_startup_trials | 15 | int >= 0 | HPO startup trials. |
+| freqai.optuna_hyperopt.n_trials | 50 | int >= 1 | Maximum HPO trials. |

+| freqai.optuna_hyperopt.reset_label_study_on_schema_mismatch | true | bool | Reset a persisted `label` study when its selection schema is missing, invalid, or incompatible. `true` keeps the historical destructive reset, deleting the study before recreating it; `false` preserves its trials and stored metadata, permits caller-managed reuse in memory, and does not persist selected params until the schema is reconciled. Both fail closed: an inspection error, or (under `true`) a deletion error, aborts study creation. Has no effect when `continuous=true` or outside live/dry-run modes, where studies are always reset. |
+| freqai.optuna_hyperopt.vary_model_seed_by_trial | true | bool | Add `trial.number` to each regressor's configured model seed (or its default seed of `1`) during HPO. `true` samples model randomness across trials and preserves the historical behavior; `false` evaluates every trial and the final fit with the same model seed. This does not change `freqai.optuna_hyperopt.seed`. |
