CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS:
1. ✅ Consolidate on ONE feature extractor (UnifiedFeatureExtractor)
2. ✅ Validate features during backtesting (not just predictions)
3. ✅ Use same features as live trading (SharedMLStrategy)
4. ✅ Compare Wave A/B/C sequentially (not isolation)
5. ✅ Test on real market data (DBN + real edge cases)
TIMELINE: 3 weeks (5 engineers working in parallel)
STATUS: READY TO IMPLEMENT (all components exist, just need integration)
