The market does not stay in one state
Today the market may trend, tomorrow it may range, then volatility can expand sharply.
Without regime awareness, a normal strategy may look broken simply because its environment changed.
Regime affects strategy selection
Trend strategies need direction, mean reversion needs balance, breakout needs expansion, and grid needs a controlled range.
In BadRock, compare presets through the question: what regime does this logic need?
Reports help avoid arguing with the market
If trades degrade, check market regime, not only parameters. The preset may need a pause.
Terminal should help manage regimes, not force one strategy to work all the time.
