24/7 Intelligent Automation Implementation ✅

Overview

Successfully transformed the simple automation into a sophisticated 24/7 intelligent trading system that adapts its behavior based on position status.

Key Features Implemented

🔄 Intelligent Scanning Logic

• No Position: Entry scans every 10 minutes to find opportunities
• With Position: Price monitoring every 30 seconds, analysis ONLY when close to SL
• Stop-Loss Proximity: Analysis triggered only when price within 1% of SL

📊 Position-Aware Behavior

// Smart monitoring system:
- positionCheckInterval: Every 30 seconds (price proximity check only)
- intervalId: Every 10 minutes (entry scans when no position)
- Analysis: Only runs when needed (entry opportunity OR SL threat)

🎯 Smart Decision Making

• Entry Scanning: Only runs when no active positions
• SL Monitoring: Checks price every 30s, runs analysis ONLY when price threatens SL
• Risk Management: Auto-close positions before SL hit (75%+ confidence)

🚀 Enhanced Analysis Types

• ENTRY_SCAN: Looking for new opportunities (no position)
• POSITION_MGMT: Emergency analysis when price approaches SL

Technical Implementation

Core Methods Added

1. start24x7Monitoring() - Smart monitoring system
2. checkStopLossProximity() - Price-based SL threat detection
3. runIntelligentCycle() - Smart entry scanning
4. runPositionManagementAnalysis() - Emergency SL analysis
5. isCloseToStopLoss() - 1% SL distance detection (price-first approach)
6. handlePositionManagementDecision() - Risk management
7. handleEntryDecision() - Entry logic
8. closePosition() & executeTrade() - Trading execution

Integration Points

• Drift API: Position monitoring via /api/drift/positions
• Price API: Real-time price checking for SL calculations
• Batch Analysis: Enhanced with analysisType parameter
• Learning System: Continues storing analysis data

Benefits

✅ Persistent Operation

• No more stopping after time - runs continuously
• Intelligent resource usage based on position status
• 24/7 market monitoring

✅ Position Intelligence

• Scans frequently when no position (opportunities)
• Monitors price every 30s when position active (efficient)
• Analyzes ONLY when price threatens SL (resource-efficient)
• Prevents stop-loss hits with proactive closing

✅ Risk Management

• 1% SL proximity detection
• High-confidence position closing (75%+)
• Separate logic for entry vs. management
