An MCP server for walk-forward analysis of trading strategies — Walk-Forward Efficiency ratio, parameter-stability scoring, lock-after-optimization audits, and WFO window generation.

## The problem this solves

A strategy optimized on one historical window and never re-validated on a fresh, unseen window is a curve fit until proven otherwise. Walk-forward analysis is the standard fix, but building the rolling windows correctly and scoring whether a parameter surface is a robust plateau or a fragile spike is easy to get subtly wrong by hand.

## Tools

### `walk_forward_efficiency`
Computes the Walk-Forward Efficiency ratio — out-of-sample performance as a fraction of in-sample performance — the core signal for whether an optimization generalizes.

### `parameter_stability_score`
Scores a parameter surface for fragile curve-fit spikes vs. robust plateaus, flagging optimizations that only work at one exact parameter value.

### `lock_after_wfo_check`
Audits whether parameters were genuinely locked after the walk-forward optimization step, or quietly re-tuned against the "out-of-sample" data — the mistake that silently invalidates a WFO result.

### `walk_forward_window_generator`
Generates correctly non-overlapping rolling in-sample/out-of-sample windows for a given date range and step size.
