NQ.FUT Characteristics

• Tech Momentum: 26.6% of bars (1.77x ES.FUT)
• High Volatility: 69.9% of periods (1.40x ES.FUT)
• Structural Breaks: 1,665 detected (100% rate, may need calibration)
• Regime Dynamics: Requires aggressive adaptive strategies

Key Findings

1. Performance Headroom

• Current: 5.99μs/bar
• Target: 1,000μs/bar
• Headroom: 167x
• Implication: Can easily add 24 Wave D features

2. NQ Needs Aggressive Regime Adaptation

• 69.9% high volatility periods
• Position sizing must be conservative
• Stop-loss needs wider ATR multipliers
• More frequent rebalancing required

3. CUSUM May Be Too Sensitive

• 1,665 breaks in 1,665 bars (100% rate)
• Current: k=0.5, h=5.0
• Recommend: k=1.0, h=7.0 for NQ.FUT

4. Tech Sector Momentum is Distinct

• 26.6% momentum periods vs ~15% for ES
• Tech sector rotation signals valuable
• Nasdaq-specific features justify Wave D

---

Production Readiness

✅ Ready Now

• Feature extraction pipeline
• Performance (167x target)
• Data quality (100% finite)
• Multi-day consistency

⏳ In Progress (Not Blockers)

• Wave D features (24 additional, indices 201-225)
• Full 225-feature pipeline integration
• ML model retraining with 225 features

---

Next Steps

1. Complete Wave D Phase 3 (2-3 days):

   • Agents D13-D16 (24 features)
   • Integrate with pipeline
   • Validate 225-feature extraction

2. NQ-Specific CUSUM Calibration (1 day):

   • Test k=1.0, h=7.0 settings
   • Run sensitivity analysis

3. Multi-Symbol Validation (1 day):

   • Run for ES.FUT, 6E.FUT, ZN.FUT
   • Document symbol-specific patterns

4. ML Model Retraining (4-6 weeks):

   • Train with 225 features
   • Validate regime-adaptive strategies

Comparison: NQ.FUT vs ES.FUT

Metric	NQ.FUT	ES.FUT	Winner
Tech Momentum	26.6%	~15%	NQ
High Volatility	69.9%	~50%	NQ
Structural Breaks	100/100	~75/100	NQ
Regime Stability	Lower	Higher	ES
Extraction Speed	5.99μs	~6.5μs	NQ

Conclusion: NQ.FUT is significantly more dynamic than ES.FUT
