Interesting, this is all stuff I've read about before in general terms, but not in any depth. I'll start looking into it more, but I don't have any comp sci background, so I always feel limited in how far I can head down some of these paths. As for different market conditions, my system worked well for all of 2024 on /CL which is what I trade. I don't have any data on CL before January, so I'm continuing to collect it going forward and hopefully conditions don't change so much that my discretionary entries divebomb on me anytime soon. I know I need to plan for that longterm. I'm just hoping I'll have learned enough about price action by the time I'd face that problem that I'll know better what to do about it rather than just start from scratch.
