+```python
+def get_minimum_buffer_size(self) -> Dict[str, int]:
+    primary_tf = self.params.get("timeframe", "15min")
+    
+    # Supertrend needs 50 periods for reliable calculation
+    if primary_tf == "15min":
+        return {"15min": 50, "1min": 750}  # 50 * 15 = 750 minutes
+    elif primary_tf == "5min":
+        return {"5min": 50, "1min": 250}   # 50 * 5 = 250 minutes
+    elif primary_tf == "30min":
+        return {"30min": 50, "1min": 1500} # 50 * 30 = 1500 minutes
+    elif primary_tf == "1h":
+        return {"1h": 50, "1min": 3000}    # 50 * 60 = 3000 minutes
+    else:  # 1min
+        return {"1min": 50}
+```
+
+#### BBRSStrategy
+```python
+def get_minimum_buffer_size(self) -> Dict[str, int]:
+    bb_period = self.params.get("bb_period", 20)
+    rsi_period = self.params.get("rsi_period", 14)
+    
+    # Need max of BB and RSI periods plus warmup
+    min_periods = max(bb_period, rsi_period) + 10
+    return {"1min": min_periods}
+```
+
+### Error Recovery Strategy
+
+1. **State Validation**: Periodic validation of indicator states
+2. **Graceful Degradation**: Fall back to batch calculation if incremental fails
+3. **Automatic Recovery**: Reinitialize from buffer data when corruption detected
+4. **Monitoring**: Track error rates and performance metrics

+# Real-Time Strategy Architecture - Technical Specification
+
+## Overview
+
+This document outlines the technical specification for updating the trading strategy system to support real-time data processing with incremental calculations. The current architecture processes entire datasets during initialization, which is inefficient for real-time trading where new data arrives continuously.
+
+## Current Architecture Issues
+
+### Problems with Current Implementation
+1. **Initialization-Heavy Design**: All calculations performed during `initialize()` method
+2. **Full Dataset Processing**: Entire historical dataset processed on each initialization
+3. **Memory Inefficient**: Stores complete calculation history in arrays
+4. **No Incremental Updates**: Cannot add new data without full recalculation
+5. **Performance Bottleneck**: Recalculating years of data for each new candle
+6. **Index-Based Access**: Signal generation relies on pre-calculated arrays with fixed indices
+
+### Current Strategy Flow
+```
+Data → initialize() → Full Calculation → Store Arrays → get_signal(index)
+```
+
+## Target Architecture: Incremental Calculation
+
+### New Strategy Flow
+```
+Initial Data → initialize() → Warm-up Calculation → Ready State
+New Data Point → calculate_on_data() → Update State → get_signal()
+```
+
+## Technical Requirements
+
+### 1. Base Strategy Interface Updates
+
+#### New Abstract Methods
+```python
+@abstractmethod
+def get_minimum_buffer_size(self) -> Dict[str, int]:
+    """
+    Return minimum data points needed for each timeframe.
+    
+    Returns:
+        Dict[str, int]: {timeframe: min_points} mapping
+        
+    Example:
+        {"15min": 50, "1min": 750}  # 50 15min candles = 750 1min candles
+    """
+    pass
+
+@abstractmethod
+def calculate_on_data(self, new_data_point: Dict, timestamp: pd.Timestamp) -> None:
+    """
+    Process a single new data point incrementally.
+    
+    Args:
+        new_data_point: OHLCV data point {open, high, low, close, volume}
+        timestamp: Timestamp of the data point
+    """
+    pass
+
+@abstractmethod
+def supports_incremental_calculation(self) -> bool:
+    """
+    Whether strategy supports incremental calculation.
+    
+    Returns:
+        bool: True if incremental mode supported
+    """
+    pass
+```
+
+#### New Properties and Methods
+```python
+@property
+def calculation_mode(self) -> str:
+    """Current calculation mode: 'initialization' or 'incremental'"""
+    return self._calculation_mode
+
+@property
+def is_warmed_up(self) -> bool:
+    """Whether strategy has sufficient data for reliable signals"""
+    return self._is_warmed_up
+
+def reset_calculation_state(self) -> None:
+    """Reset internal calculation state for reinitialization"""
+    pass
+
+def get_current_state_summary(self) -> Dict:
+    """Get summary of current calculation state for debugging"""
+    pass
+```
+
+### 2. Internal State Management
+
+#### State Variables
+Each strategy must maintain:
+```python
+class StrategyBase:
+    def __init__(self, ...):
+        # Calculation state
+        self._calculation_mode = "initialization"  # or "incremental"
+        self._is_warmed_up = False
+        self._data_points_received = 0
+        
+        # Timeframe-specific buffers
+        self._timeframe_buffers = {}  # {timeframe: deque(maxlen=buffer_size)}
+        self._timeframe_last_update = {}  # {timeframe: timestamp}
+        
+        # Indicator states (strategy-specific)
+        self._indicator_states = {}
+        
+        # Signal generation state
+        self._last_signals = {}  # Cache recent signals
+        self._signal_history = deque(maxlen=100)  # Recent signal history
+```
+
+#### Buffer Management
+```python
+def _update_timeframe_buffers(self, new_data_point: Dict, timestamp: pd.Timestamp):
+    """Update all timeframe buffers with new data point"""
+    
+def _should_update_timeframe(self, timeframe: str, timestamp: pd.Timestamp) -> bool:
+    """Check if timeframe should be updated based on timestamp"""
+    
+def _get_timeframe_buffer(self, timeframe: str) -> pd.DataFrame:
+    """Get current buffer for specific timeframe"""
+```
+
+### 3. Strategy-Specific Requirements
+
+#### DefaultStrategy (Supertrend-based)
+```python
+class DefaultStrategy(StrategyBase):
+    def get_minimum_buffer_size(self) -> Dict[str, int]:
+        primary_tf = self.params.get("timeframe", "15min")
+        if primary_tf == "15min":
+            return {"15min": 50, "1min": 750}
+        elif primary_tf == "5min":
+            return {"5min": 50, "1min": 250}
+        # ... other timeframes
+    
+    def _initialize_indicator_states(self):
+        """Initialize Supertrend calculation states"""
+        self._supertrend_states = [
+            SupertrendState(period=10, multiplier=3.0),
+            SupertrendState(period=11, multiplier=2.0),
+            SupertrendState(period=12, multiplier=1.0)
+        ]
+    
+    def _update_supertrend_incrementally(self, ohlc_data):
+        """Update Supertrend calculations with new data"""
+        # Incremental ATR calculation
+        # Incremental Supertrend calculation
+        # Update meta-trend based on all three Supertrends
+```
+
+#### BBRSStrategy (Bollinger Bands + RSI)
+```python
+class BBRSStrategy(StrategyBase):
+    def get_minimum_buffer_size(self) -> Dict[str, int]:
+        bb_period = self.params.get("bb_period", 20)
+        rsi_period = self.params.get("rsi_period", 14)
+        min_periods = max(bb_period, rsi_period) + 10  # +10 for warmup
+        return {"1min": min_periods}
+    
+    def _initialize_indicator_states(self):
+        """Initialize BB and RSI calculation states"""
+        self._bb_state = BollingerBandsState(period=self.params.get("bb_period", 20))
+        self._rsi_state = RSIState(period=self.params.get("rsi_period", 14))
+        self._market_regime_state = MarketRegimeState()
+    
+    def _update_indicators_incrementally(self, price_data):
+        """Update BB, RSI, and market regime with new data"""
+        # Incremental moving average for BB
+        # Incremental RSI calculation
+        # Market regime detection update
+```
+
+#### RandomStrategy
+```python
+class RandomStrategy(StrategyBase):
+    def get_minimum_buffer_size(self) -> Dict[str, int]:
+        return {"1min": 1}  # No indicators needed
+    
+    def supports_incremental_calculation(self) -> bool:
+        return True  # Always supports incremental
+```
+
+### 4. Indicator State Classes
+
+#### Base Indicator State
+```python
+class IndicatorState(ABC):
+    """Base class for maintaining indicator calculation state"""
+    
+    @abstractmethod
+    def update(self, new_value: float) -> float:
+        """Update indicator with new value and return current indicator value"""
+        pass
+    
+    @abstractmethod
+    def is_warmed_up(self) -> bool:
+        """Whether indicator has enough data for reliable values"""
+        pass
+    
+    @abstractmethod
+    def reset(self) -> None:
+        """Reset indicator state"""
+        pass
+```
+
+#### Specific Indicator States
+```python
+class MovingAverageState(IndicatorState):
+    """Maintains state for incremental moving average calculation"""
+    
+class RSIState(IndicatorState):
+    """Maintains state for incremental RSI calculation"""
+    
+class SupertrendState(IndicatorState):
+    """Maintains state for incremental Supertrend calculation"""
+    
+class BollingerBandsState(IndicatorState):
+    """Maintains state for incremental Bollinger Bands calculation"""
+```
+
+### 5. Data Flow Architecture
+
+#### Initialization Phase
+```
+1. Strategy.initialize(backtester)
+2. Strategy._resample_data(original_data)
+3. Strategy._initialize_indicator_states()
+4. Strategy._warm_up_with_historical_data()
+5. Strategy._calculation_mode = "incremental"
+6. Strategy._is_warmed_up = True
+```
+
+#### Real-Time Processing Phase
+```
+1. New data arrives → StrategyManager.process_new_data()
+2. StrategyManager → Strategy.calculate_on_data(new_point)
+3. Strategy._update_timeframe_buffers()
+4. Strategy._update_indicators_incrementally()
+5. Strategy ready for get_entry_signal()/get_exit_signal()
+```
+
+### 6. Performance Requirements
+
+#### Memory Efficiency
+- Maximum buffer size per timeframe: configurable (default: 200 periods)
+- Use `collections.deque` with `maxlen` for automatic buffer management
+- Store only essential state, not full calculation history
+
+#### Processing Speed
+- Target: <1ms per data point for incremental updates
+- Target: <10ms for signal generation
+- Batch processing support for multiple data points
+
+#### Accuracy Requirements
+- Incremental calculations must match batch calculations within 0.01% tolerance
+- Indicator values must be identical to traditional calculation methods
+- Signal timing must be preserved exactly
+
+### 7. Error Handling and Recovery
+
+#### State Corruption Recovery
+```python
+def _validate_calculation_state(self) -> bool:
+    """Validate internal calculation state consistency"""
+    
+def _recover_from_state_corruption(self) -> None:
+    """Recover from corrupted calculation state"""
+    # Reset to initialization mode
+    # Recalculate from available buffer data
+    # Resume incremental mode
+```
+
+#### Data Gap Handling
+```python
+def handle_data_gap(self, gap_duration: pd.Timedelta) -> None:
+    """Handle gaps in data stream"""
+    if gap_duration > self._max_acceptable_gap:
+        self._trigger_reinitialization()
+    else:
+        self._interpolate_missing_data()
+```
+
+### 8. Backward Compatibility
+
+#### Compatibility Layer
+- Existing `initialize()` method continues to work
+- New methods are optional with default implementations
+- Gradual migration path for existing strategies
+- Fallback to batch calculation if incremental not supported
+
+#### Migration Strategy
+1. Phase 1: Add new interface with default implementations
+2. Phase 2: Implement incremental calculation for each strategy
+3. Phase 3: Optimize and remove batch calculation fallbacks
+4. Phase 4: Make incremental calculation mandatory
+
+### 9. Testing Requirements
+
+#### Unit Tests
+- Test incremental vs. batch calculation accuracy
+- Test state management and recovery
+- Test buffer management and memory usage
+- Test performance benchmarks
+
+#### Integration Tests
+- Test with real-time data streams
+- Test strategy manager coordination
+- Test error recovery scenarios
+- Test memory usage over extended periods
+
+#### Performance Tests
+- Benchmark incremental vs. batch processing
+- Memory usage profiling
+- Latency measurements for signal generation
+- Stress testing with high-frequency data
+
+### 10. Configuration and Monitoring
+
+#### Configuration Options
+```python
+STRATEGY_CONFIG = {
+    "calculation_mode": "incremental",  # or "batch"
+    "buffer_size_multiplier": 2.0,     # multiply minimum buffer size
+    "max_acceptable_gap": "5min",      # max data gap before reinitialization
+    "enable_state_validation": True,   # enable periodic state validation
+    "performance_monitoring": True     # enable performance metrics
+}
+```
+
+#### Monitoring Metrics
+- Calculation latency per strategy
+- Memory usage per strategy
+- State validation failures
+- Data gap occurrences
+- Signal generation frequency
+
