How to Use These Resources

VPS Security Checklist

Use as a 20-point audit before deploying live. Score each item and prioritize gaps. Target: 16+ for production readiness.

Kill Switch Guide

Follow installation steps in sequence, test each tier locally first, then deploy to your VPS. Test remote triggers before going live.

Walk-Forward Worksheet

Complete one per strategy. If >75% of windows pass your thresholds, you likely have statistical edge.

Statistical Calculator

Input your trade data. Use t-test to confirm win rate not due to chance (p < 0.05). Use Sharpe ratio to compare against benchmarks.
