Trade Frequency Analysis
The number of trades opened by the Presidential Post cBot is not fixed, as it follows a "News-Event" logic rather than a mathematical indicator. Here is what you can expect:

1. Real-World Frequency (Full Version)

Driven by News: In the live version, the bot only trades when a new post is detected from the monitored social media accounts.

Typical Activity: Depending on the political or economic cycle, this could range from 2–5 trades per week during quiet periods to multiple trades per day during high-impact events (elections, major policy announcements, or economic summits).

Quality over Quantity: This bot is designed to capture "Alpha" from sudden market reactions to news, so it does not "churn" trades like a scalp bot.

1. Backtesting Frequency (Demo Version)

Simulated Data: Since this Demo version uses Mock Data (randomly generated bullish/bearish signals) to allow for backtesting, the frequency in your tests will depend on how often the internal simulator "triggers" a post.

Optimization: You can use the backtester to see how the bot handles different sequences of trades. However, remember that in the live market, the bot will wait for real human activity on social media.

1. Settings That Affect Frequency

Cooldown Period: If you set a "Rest Time" between trades, the frequency will decrease.

Sentiment Thresholds: In the full version, if you set the bot to only react to "Strong Sentiment," it will open fewer, more selective trades.

Summary for your Planning
This is a High-Impact/Low-Frequency strategy. It is designed to stay flat (no trades) most of the time and only enter the market when there is a significant fundamental catalyst that creates a sharp price movement.
