+3. **Monitor Closely**: Watch logs and performance metrics
+4. **Start Small**: Use paper trading and small position sizes initially
+5. **Iterate**: Adjust parameters based on performance
+
+## Safety Reminders
+
+- ⚠️ **Always use paper trading first**
+- ⚠️ **Never disable risk management**
+- ⚠️ **Monitor the system regularly**
+- ⚠️ **Start with small position sizes**
+- ⚠️ **Understand the risks involved**
+
+## Support
+
+- Check `README.md` for detailed documentation

+- Test with `test_system.py` to verify setup
+- Use `--help` flag for command-line options
+
+---
+
+**Congratulations!** You now have a professional-grade automated trading system that's:
+- ✅ Safe (paper trading default)
+- ✅ Modular (easy to modify)
+- ✅ Monitored (comprehensive logging)

+```
+
+## Strategy Types
+
+### Conservative Strategy
+- **Philosophy**: Let big winners run, relaxed exit conditions
+- **Trailing Stops**: 18-40% (wider range for bigger moves)
+- **Emergency Exits**: 28-day maximum hold time
+- **Best For**: Trending markets, patient traders
+
+### Enhanced Strategy  
+- **Philosophy**: Tighter risk control, early loss protection
+- **Trailing Stops**: 12-40% (tighter range for quicker exits)
+- **Emergency Exits**: 7-14 day maximum hold time
+- **Entry Conditions**: More selective (2% above trend line)
+- **Best For**: Volatile markets, risk-conscious traders
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Setup Environment
+
+```bash
+# Clone and navigate to project
+cd /path/to/trading
+
+# Install dependencies
+pip install alpaca-trade-api pandas numpy python-dotenv
+
+# Setup environment variables
+echo "ALPACA_API_KEY=your_api_key" > .env
+echo "ALPACA_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key" >> .env
+echo "ALPACA_BASE_URL=https://paper-api.alpaca.markets" >> .env
+echo "STRATEGY_TYPE=enhanced" >> .env
+```
+
+### 2. Run Backtesting
+
+```bash
+# Test conservative strategy
+python3 main.py --mode backtest --strategy conservative
+
+# Test enhanced strategy  
+python3 main.py --mode backtest --strategy enhanced
+
+# Compare both strategies
+python3 compare_strategies.py
+```
+
+### 3. Paper Trading
+
+```bash
+# Start paper trading with enhanced strategy
+python3 main.py --mode paper --strategy enhanced
+
+# Start paper trading with conservative strategy
+python3 main.py --mode paper --strategy conservative
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+- `ALPACA_API_KEY`: Your Alpaca API key
+- `ALPACA_SECRET_KEY`: Your Alpaca secret key  
+- `ALPACA_BASE_URL`: API endpoint (paper or live)
+- `STRATEGY_TYPE`: Default strategy ("conservative" or "enhanced")
+
+### Strategy Selection
+You can select strategies in multiple ways:
+
+1. **Command Line**: `--strategy enhanced`
+2. **Environment Variable**: `STRATEGY_TYPE=conservative`
+3. **Config File**: Modify `trading_config.py`
+
+Priority: Command line > Environment variable > Config file
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+```bash
+# Backtest enhanced strategy for 90 days
+python3 main.py --mode backtest --strategy enhanced --days 90
+
+# Paper trade with conservative strategy
+python3 main.py --mode paper --strategy conservative
+
+# Compare strategies side-by-side
+python3 compare_strategies.py
+
+# Check strategy configuration
+python3 -c "from config.trading_config import TradingConfig; print(TradingConfig())"
+```
+
+## Strategy Comparison
+
+The `compare_strategies.py` script provides detailed performance comparison:
+
+- **Returns**: Total return vs market benchmark
+- **Risk Metrics**: Max drawdown, Sharpe ratio
+- **Trade Analytics**: Win rate, profit factor, average wins/losses
+- **Timing**: Time in market, trade frequency
+
+## Risk Management
+
+Both strategies include comprehensive risk controls:
+
+- **Position Sizing**: Configurable risk per trade
+- **Trailing Stops**: Dynamic stop-loss adjustment
+- **Emergency Exits**: Maximum hold time limits
+- **Drawdown Limits**: Account protection thresholds
+- **Market Hours**: Trading only during market hours
+
+## Logging
+
+The system generates detailed logs in the `logs/` directory:
+
+- `trading.log`: General trading activity
+- `trades.log`: Trade execution details
+- `risk.log`: Risk management events
+- `performance.log`: Performance metrics
+
+## Safety Features
+
+- **Paper Trading First**: Always test with paper money
+- **Fail-Safe Defaults**: Conservative settings by default
+- **Error Handling**: Graceful error recovery
+- **Position Limits**: Maximum position size controls
+- **Market Data Validation**: Data quality checks
+
+## Development
+
+To add a new strategy:
+
+1. Create new strategy file in `src/strategy_your_name.py`
+2. Inherit from base strategy pattern (see existing strategies)
+3. Register in `src/strategy_factory.py`
+4. Update configuration options
+5. Test with backtesting before live usage
+
+## Support
+
+For issues or questions:
+1. Check logs in `logs/` directory
+2. Verify API keys and permissions
+3. Test with paper trading first
+4. Review strategy configuration
+
+## Disclaimer
+
+This software is for educational and testing purposes. Always test thoroughly with paper trading before using real money. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
