Making my first algo, need some advice

I'm making a long only algo for both QQQ and equities, derived from the same base code but then honed in to each for more specific characteristics. My QQQ strategy currently has a 1.703 profit factor but its still in tradingview environment (so take it with a grain of salt?). I am absolutely killing it with preventing downturns in my algo and preventing large drawdowns, however, i think it is handicapping my long as for example I am vastly underperforming a strong environment. Is there any type of criteria you guys use to help loosen sell rules by having the algo identify strong trending markets or something along those lines? Or in general how do you help your algo capture the long term trend better without selling? This is my first algo, I am definitely a trader first, coder second so bear with me

Help: moving to HCMC

Will be moving to Ho Chi Minh next week and will be working remote. I don’t speak Vietnamese but I loved the country when I visited last year. Any expats have recommendations on how they met people, both locals and westerners without speaking the language? Also, any recommendations on rentals? I’ll be looking for an apartment when I arrive, is $1,200 reasonable for a 1 or 2 bedroom in a luxury building with a pool?

Claude web searches through Github taking a lot of tokens

i dont have a coder background just a few basic classes over 10 years ago. i understand the nature of claude searches for information through the web is a brute force approach i am wondering if you guys have any recommendation on how to reduce the token usage with my github?

I do a lot of stock research and do a lot of research and was utilizing claude to do it. i build a research platform with claude and have kept the HTML and the data collected through claude interface but have moved it to github to try and keep using it from anywhere not just my computer. however, moving it from claude to github has exploded my token usage with the API. My goal is to keep pulling data on stocks to populate my dashboard i created and incorporate the latest and most accurate information. i have almost 100 stocks in my universe and pulling data through claude environment for 5 stocks was using about 20%-25% of my 5 hour limit which is fine i updated around 10 every 5 hours to leave room for my other uses, but now through github with the API instead, just 1 stock was using $1-$2 which is not economical. do you guys have any recommendations?
