## Strategy Recommendations
73+
74+
### For Fast Trading (Sniper Mode)
75+
Use these strategies for live trading:
76+
- ✅ SMA Crossover (~5ms)
77+
- ✅ RSI Reversion (~10ms)
78+
- ✅ Breakout ATR (~15ms)
79+
- ✅ Scalping MA (~8ms)
80+
81+
### For Analysis Only
82+
Use ML strategies for backtesting only:
83+
- ⚠️ LSTM Strategy (500-2000ms - too slow)
84+
- ⚠️ Transformer Strategy (300-1000ms)
85+
- ⚠️ RL Strategy (200-800ms)
86+
87+
## Configuration for Optimal Performance
88+
89+
### Fast Scalping Mode
90+
```python
91+
# Use FastTradingController
92+
controller = FastTradingController(
93+
broker=broker,
94+
data_provider=data_provider,
95+
risk_manager=risk_manager,
96+
portfolio=portfolio,
97+
fast_mode=True
98+
)
99+
100+
# Start with 100ms intervals
101+
controller.start_trading(interval_ms=100)
102+
```
103+
104+
### Memory Monitoring
105+
```python
106+
# Check memory usage
107+
portfolio = Portfolio()
108+
stats = portfolio.get_memory_usage()
109+
print(f"Memory: {stats['estimated_memory_mb']:.2f} MB")
110+
print(f"Trades: {stats['trades_count']}")
111+
```
112+
113+
## Preventing Freezes
114+
115+
### ✅ Implemented Safeguards
116+
1. **No Blocking Sleeps**: All delays are non-blocking
117+
2. **Memory Limits**: Automatic cleanup prevents bloat
118+

120+
```
121+
122+
## Monitoring Performance
123+
124+
### Check Memory Usage
125+
```python
126+
portfolio = Portfolio()
127+
memory_stats = portfolio.get_memory_usage()
128+
print(f"Memory: {memory_stats['estimated_memory_mb']:.2f} MB")

print(f"Trades: {memory_stats['trades_count']}")
130+
```
131+
132+
### Monitor Execution Speed
133+
```python
134+
import time
135+
136+
start = time.time()
137+
