Band Configuration
The set of parameters that define the strategy's operating envelope — growth target, tolerance, sizing mode, and Kelly multiplier.
Band configuration is the core of the discipline layer. Four parameters work together: the growth target (where the strategy aims), the tolerance band (how much deviation is allowed), the sizing mode (conservative/moderate/aggressive), and the Kelly multiplier (the fraction of optimal sizing to use).
These four parameters are set in the builder and compiled into the spec. The gate uses them on every cycle to evaluate proposals. Changing any parameter changes the spec hash, which means a recompile is required.
The interplay matters. A high growth target with a narrow tolerance and conservative sizing creates a constrained bot that rejects most proposals. A moderate growth target with a wide tolerance and aggressive sizing creates a bot that trades frequently with larger positions. Neither is correct — they are configurations, not rankings.
