N01 Open Todos

Recommend removing open todos before deploying. MyStrategy.sol#L284 MyStrategy.sol#L422

N02 Missing Indexed Fields

Adding indexed fields to events will help with off chain monitoring. MyStrategy.sol#L51

G01 For Loop Optimisations

When incrementing i in for loops there is no chance of overflow so unchecked can be used to save gas. I ran a simple test in remix and found deployment savings of 31,653 gas and on each function call saved ~141 gas per iteration.

contract Test {
	function loopTest() external {
		for (uint256 i; i < 1; ++i) {
		Deployment Cost: 125,637, Cost on function call: 24,601
		vs
		for (uint256 i; i < 1; ) {
		// for loop body
		unchecked { ++i }
		Deployment Cost: 93,984, Cost on function call: 24,460
		}
	}
}

In for loops pre increments can also be used to save a small amount of gas per iteraition. I ran a test in remix using a for loop and found the deployment savings of 497 gas and ~5 gas per iteration.

contract Test {
	function loopTest() external {
		for (uint256 i; i < 1; i++) {
		(Deployment cost: 118,408, Cost on function call: 24,532)
		vs
		for (uint256 i; i < 1; ++i) {
		(Deployment cost: 117,911, Cost on function call: 24,527)
		}
	}
}

G02 Long Revert Strings

Keeping revert strings <= 32 bytes in length will save gas. I ran a test in remix and found the savings for a single short revert string vs long string to be 9,377 gas in deployment cost and 18 gas on function call.

contract Test {
	uint256 a;
	function check() external {
		require(a != 0, "short error message"); 
		(Deployment cost: 114,799, Cost on function call: 23,392)	
		vs 
		require(a != 0, "A longer Error Message over 32 bytes in     
        length"); 
		(Deployment cost: 124,176, Cost on function call: 23,410)	
	}
}

I recommend shortenning the following revert strings to <= 32 bytes in length: MyStrategy.sol#L186

G03 && in Require Functions

If optimising for running costs over deployment costs you can seperate && in require functions into 2 parts. I ran a basic test in remix and it cost an extra 234 gas to deploy but will save ~9 gas everytime the require function is called.

contract Test {
	uint256 a = 0;
	uint256 b = 1;

	function test() external {
		require(a == 0 && b > a) 
		(Deployment cost: 123,291, Cost on function call: 29,371)
		vs
		require(a == 0);
		require(b > a);
		(Deployment cost: 123,525, Cost on function call: 29,362)
	}
}
