BotConfig (src/config.py) is a dataclass holding every tuneable knob of the bot. Most commonly-tuned fields can be set through environment variables (see the environment variable reference), but the fields below have no environment variable: build_config() in main.py never reads them, so they always take their dataclass defaults unless you change the code.

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
`kelly_fraction`	float	`0.50`	Fraction of the Kelly-criterion stake used when sizing trades
`max_concurrent_trades`	int	`1`	Maximum simultaneously open (unresolved) trades
`warmup_candles`	int	`60`	Candles loaded/required before the first trade (floor of 60 enforced)
`retrain_every`	int	`10`	Resolved trades between incremental `partial_fit()` model updates
`lookback`	int	`200`	Max candles kept in the live buffer and per training sample
`feature_window`	int	`20`	Rolling window (candles) for feature-engine statistics
`signal_confirmations`	int	`1`	Consecutive agreeing candles required before trading (1 = instant)
`skip_volatile_regime`	bool	`False`	Hard-skip trading while the regime is volatile
`min_wait_between_trades`	int	`60`	Minimum seconds between trade entries
`trading_hours`	tuple	`(0,1,2,3,4,16,17,19,20,21,22,23)`	Whitelisted UTC hours; empty tuple = all hours
`max_consec_losses`	int	`3`	Consecutive losses that trigger a cooldown
`cooldown_seconds`	int	`300`	Length (seconds) of the loss-streak cooldown
`regime_window`	int	`30`	Candles analyzed for regime detection
`db_path`	str	`"trade_journal.db"`	SQLite trade-journal file path
`poll_interval`	float	`2.0`	Seconds between trade-loop decision cycles

How to change these

There are two ways, both requiring a code change:

Edit the defaults in src/config.py:
```
# src/config.py
kelly_fraction: float = 0.25
trading_hours: tuple = ()
```
Every entry point that builds a BotConfig (including main.py) then picks up the new defaults.

Construct BotConfig yourself instead of (or on top of) main.py’s build_config():

import asyncio
from src.config import BotConfig
from src.bot import AITradingBot

cfg = BotConfig(
    ssid="your-pocketoption-ssid",
    kelly_fraction=0.25,
    signal_confirmations=2,
    trading_hours=(),          # trade all UTC hours
)
asyncio.run(AITradingBot(cfg).start())

For fields that are settable via environment variables (ssid, asset, stakes, confidence bounds, dataset and brain paths, and more), see the environment variable reference.
