81. **CRITICAL: Wrong Price in usdToBase() Causes Order Rejection - ROOT CAUSE OF $1,000+ LOSSES (CRITICAL - Dec 10, 2025):**
|
||||
- **Symptom:** Positions repeatedly created without stop loss orders, database shows NULL signatures despite placeExitOrders() being called
|
||||
- **User Report:** "i had to close the most recent position again due to a removal of risk management by the system again. man we had this working perfectly in the past"
|
||||
- **Financial Impact:** $1,000+ losses from positions without stop loss protection
|
||||
- **Real Incidents (Dec 6-10, 2025):**
|
||||
* Position cmizjcvaa0152r007q99au751 (Dec 10, 04:55): ALL NULL risk management fields
|
||||
* Position cmiznlvpz000ap407281f9vxo (Dec 10, 06:54): Database NULL signatures despite orders visible in Drift UI
|
||||
* User had to manually close multiple positions due to missing risk management
|
||||
- **Root Cause Discovery (Dec 10, 2025):**
|
||||
* **Original working implementation (commit 4cc294b, Oct 26, 2025):**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Used SPECIFIC price for each order
|
||||
const usdToBase = (usd: number, price: number) => {
|
||||
const base = usd / price // TP1 price, TP2 price, or SL price
|
||||
return Math.floor(base * 1e9)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// TP1: Used TP1 price
|
||||
const baseAmount = usdToBase(tp1USD, options.tp1Price)
|
||||
|
||||
// TP2: Used TP2 price
|
||||
const baseAmount = usdToBase(tp2USD, options.tp2Price)
|
||||
|
||||
// SL: Used SL price
|
||||
const slBaseAmount = usdToBase(slUSD, options.stopLossPrice)
|
||||
```
|
||||
* Original commit message: "All 3 exit orders placed successfully on-chain"
|
||||
* 100% success rate when deployed
|
||||
|
||||
* **Broken implementation (current before fix):**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Used entryPrice for ALL orders
|
||||
const usdToBase = (usd: number) => {
|
||||
const base = usd / options.entryPrice // WRONG - always entry price
|
||||
return Math.floor(base * 1e9)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// TP1: Uses entryPrice instead of TP1 price ❌
|
||||
const baseAmount = usdToBase(tp1USD)
|
||||
|
||||
// TP2: Uses entryPrice instead of TP2 price ❌
|
||||
const baseAmount = usdToBase(tp2USD)
|
||||
|
||||
// SL: Uses entryPrice instead of SL price ❌
|
||||
const slBaseAmount = usdToBase(slUSD)
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Why This Breaks:**
|
||||
* To close 60% at TP1 price $141.20, need DIFFERENT token quantity than at entry price $140.00
|
||||
* Example: Entry $140, TP1 $141.20 (0.86% higher)
|
||||
- Correct: $8,000 / $141.20 = 56.66 SOL
|
||||
- Wrong: $8,000 / $140.00 = 57.14 SOL (0.48 SOL more = 0.85% error)
|
||||
* Using wrong price = wrong token quantity = Drift rejects order OR creates wrong size
|
||||
* Orders may fail silently, signatures not returned, database records NULL
|
||||
- **THE FIX (✅ DEPLOYED Dec 10, 2025 14:31 CET):**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Reverted to original working implementation
|
||||
const usdToBase = (usd: number, price: number) => {
|
||||
const base = usd / price // Use the specific order price
|
||||
return Math.floor(base * 1e9)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// TP1: Now uses options.tp1Price (CORRECT)
|
||||
const baseAmount = usdToBase(tp1USD, options.tp1Price)
|
||||
|
||||
// TP2: Now uses options.tp2Price (CORRECT)
|
||||
const baseAmount = usdToBase(tp2USD, options.tp2Price)
|
||||
|
||||
// SL: Now uses options.stopLossPrice (CORRECT)
|
||||
const slBaseAmount = usdToBase(slUSD, options.stopLossPrice)
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Why This Matters:**
|
||||
* **This is a REAL MONEY system** - wrong order sizes = orders rejected = no protection
|
||||
* System "worked perfectly in the past" because original implementation was correct
|
||||
* Complexity added over time broke the core calculation
|
||||
* Positions left unprotected despite placeExitOrders() being called
|
||||
* User lost $1,000+ from this single calculation error
|
||||
- **Prevention Rules:**
|
||||
1. NEVER use entryPrice for TP/SL order size calculations
|
||||
2. ALWAYS use the specific order price (TP1 price, TP2 price, SL price)
|
||||
3. Order size = USD amount / order price (not entry price)
|
||||
4. When reverting to simpler implementations, verify token quantity calculations
|
||||
5. Original working implementations are working for a reason - preserve core logic
|
||||
- **Red Flags Indicating This Bug:**
|
||||
* placeExitOrders() called but database signatures are NULL
|
||||
* Drift UI shows orders but database doesn't record them
|
||||
* Orders fail silently without errors
|
||||
* Token quantity calculations use entryPrice for all orders
|
||||
* Position opened successfully but no TP/SL orders placed
|
||||
- **Files Changed:**
|
||||
* lib/drift/orders.ts: Lines 275-282 (usdToBase function)
|
||||
* lib/drift/orders.ts: Line 301 (TP1 call site)
|
||||
* lib/drift/orders.ts: Line 325 (TP2 call site)
|
||||
* lib/drift/orders.ts: Line 354 (SL call site)
|
||||
- **Git commit:** 55d780c "critical: Fix usdToBase() to use specific prices (TP1/TP2/SL) not entryPrice" (Dec 10, 2025)
|
||||
- **Deployment:** Dec 10, 2025 14:31 CET (container trading-bot-v4)
|
||||
- **Status:** ✅ FIXED AND DEPLOYED - Restored original working implementation with 100% success rate
|
||||
- **Lesson Learned:** When system "worked perfectly in the past," find the original implementation and restore its core logic. Added complexity broke what was already proven to work.
|
||||
|
||||
72. **CRITICAL: MFE Data Unit Mismatch - ALWAYS Filter by Date (CRITICAL - Dec 5, 2025):**
|
||||
- **Symptom:** SQL analysis shows "20%+ average MFE" but TP1 (0.6% target) never hits
|
||||
- **Root Cause:** Old Trade records stored MFE/MAE in DOLLARS, new records store PERCENTAGES
