 3. **Optimize signal update logic** - Further reduce unnecessary updates
 4. **Memory pooling** - Reuse objects to reduce GC pressure
 
-## Major Optimization Success: Pre-Calculated Signals
+## Major Optimization Attempt: Pre-Calculated Signals (REVERTED)
 
-### ✅ **Optimization: Pre-Calculated Signals**
-**What was implemented**: Pre-calculated all signals once upfront instead of calling `TradingBox.GetSignal()` ~1,932 times during backtest execution.
+### ❌ **Optimization: Pre-Calculated Signals - REVERTED**
+**What was attempted**: Pre-calculate all signals once upfront to avoid calling `TradingBox.GetSignal()` repeatedly.
 
-**Technical Details**:
-- Added `PreCalculateAllSignals()` method in `BacktestExecutor.cs`
-- Pre-calculates signals for all candles using rolling window logic
-- Modified `TradingBotBase.UpdateSignals()` to support pre-calculated signal lookup
-- Updated backtest loop to use O(1) signal lookups instead of expensive calculations
+**Why it failed**: The approach was fundamentally flawed because:
+- Signal generation depends on the current rolling window state
+- Pre-calculating signals upfront still required calling the expensive `TradingBox.GetSignal()` method N times
+- The lookup mechanism failed due to date matching issues
+- Net result: Double the work with no performance benefit
 
-**Performance Impact** (Average of 3 runs):
-- **Processing Rate**: 2,800 → **~5,800 candles/sec** (2.1x improvement!)
-- **Execution Time**: 1.4-1.6s → **~1.0s** (35-50% faster!)
-- **Signal Update Time**: ~1,417ms → **Eliminated** (no more repeated calculations)
-- **Consistent Results**: 5,217 - 6,871 candles/sec range (expected system variance)
+**Technical Issues**:
+- Pre-calculated signals were not found during lookup (every candle fell back to on-the-fly calculation)
+- Signal calculation depends on dynamic rolling window state that cannot be pre-calculated
+- Added complexity without performance benefit
 
-**Business Logic Validation**:
+**Result**: Reverted to original `TradingBox.GetSignal()` approach with signal update frequency optimization.
+
+**Takeaway**: Not all "optimizations" work. The signal generation logic is inherently dependent on current market state and cannot be effectively pre-calculated.
+
+## Current Performance Status (Post-Reversion)
+
+After reverting the flawed pre-calculated signals optimization, performance is **excellent**:
+
+- ✅ **Processing Rate**: 3,000-7,000 candles/sec (excellent performance with expected system variance)
+- ✅ **Execution Time**: 0.8-1.8s for 5760 candles (depends on system load)
+- ✅ **Signal Update Efficiency**: 66.5% (reduces updates by 2.8x)
+- ✅ **Memory Usage**: 23.73MB peak
 - ✅ All validation tests passed
-- ✅ Final PnL matches baseline (±0)
-- ✅ Two-scenarios test includes baseline assertions for consistency over time (with proper win rate percentage handling)
-- ✅ Live trading functionality preserved (no changes to live trading code)
+- ✅ Business logic integrity maintained
 
-**Takeaway**: The biggest performance gains come from eliminating redundant calculations. Pre-calculating expensive operations once upfront is far more effective than micro-optimizations.
+The **signal update frequency optimization** remains in place and provides significant performance benefits without breaking business logic.
