# Feature Engineering for Trading ML
Feature engineering is the single highest-leverage activity in building ML trading
models. Model selection (XGBoost vs. neural net vs. logistic regression) matters far
less than the quality and diversity of input features. A simple model on great
features will outperform a complex model on raw prices every time.
This skill covers constructing, validating, and selecting features from market data
for use in classification (signal-classification) and regression models targeting
crypto/Solana token trading.
## Why Features Beat Models
Raw OHLCV data is non-stationary, noisy, and high-dimensional. Models trained
