Problem: Python urllib3 throwing 'Failed to resolve trading-bot-v4' errors
Root cause: Transient DNS resolution failures (similar to Node.js DNS issue)
Solution: Added retry_request() wrapper with exponential backoff:
- Retries DNS/connection errors up to 3 times
- 2s → 4s → 8s delays between attempts
- Same pattern as Node.js retryOperation() in drift/client.ts
Applied to:
- /status command (position fetching)
- Manual trade execution (most critical)
User request: Configure bot to handle DNS problems better
Result: Telegram bot now self-recovers from transient DNS failures
Root Cause:
- Execute endpoint saved to database AFTER adding to Position Manager
- Database save failures were silently caught and ignored
- API returned success even when DB save failed
- Container restarts lost in-memory Position Manager state
- Result: Unprotected positions with no TP/SL monitoring
Fixes Applied:
1. Database-First Pattern (app/api/trading/execute/route.ts):
- MOVED createTrade() BEFORE positionManager.addTrade()
- If database save fails, return HTTP 500 with critical error
- Error message: 'CLOSE POSITION MANUALLY IMMEDIATELY'
- Position Manager only tracks database-persisted trades
- Ensures container restarts can restore all positions
2. Transaction Timeout (lib/drift/orders.ts):
- Added 30s timeout to confirmTransaction() in closePosition()
- Prevents API from hanging during network congestion
- Uses Promise.race() pattern for timeout enforcement
3. Telegram Error Messages (telegram_command_bot.py):
- Parse JSON for ALL responses (not just 200 OK)
- Extract detailed error messages from 'message' field
- Shows critical warnings to user immediately
- Fail-open: proceeds if analytics check fails
4. Position Manager (lib/trading/position-manager.ts):
- Move lastPrice update to TOP of monitoring loop
- Ensures /status endpoint always shows current price
Verification:
- Test trade cmhxj8qxl0000od076m21l58z executed successfully
- Database save completed BEFORE Position Manager tracking
- SL triggered correctly at -$4.21 after 15 minutes
- All protection systems working as expected
Impact:
- Eliminates risk of unprotected positions
- Provides immediate critical warnings if DB fails
- Enables safe container restarts with full position recovery
- Verified with live test trade on production

- Add market data cache service (5min expiry) for storing TradingView metrics
- Create /api/trading/market-data webhook endpoint for continuous data updates
- Add /api/analytics/reentry-check endpoint for validating manual trades
- Update execute endpoint to auto-cache metrics from incoming signals
- Enhance Telegram bot with pre-execution analytics validation
- Support --force flag to override analytics blocks
- Use fresh ADX/ATR/RSI data when available, fallback to historical
- Apply performance modifiers: -20 for losing streaks, +10 for winning
- Minimum re-entry score 55 (vs 60 for new signals)
- Fail-open design: proceeds if analytics unavailable
- Show data freshness and source in Telegram responses
- Add comprehensive setup guide in docs/guides/REENTRY_ANALYTICS_QUICKSTART.md
Phase 1 implementation for smart manual trade validation.
- Extended telegram_command_bot.py with MessageHandler for plain text messages
- Supports 'long sol/eth/btc' and 'short sol/eth/btc' syntax
- Calls /api/trading/execute directly with preset healthy metrics
- Increased timeout to 60s for on-chain transaction completion
- No changes to webhook flow or existing commands
- Added /close Telegram command for full position closure
- Updated /reduce to accept 10-100% (was 10-90%)
- Implemented auto-flip logic: automatically closes opposite position when signal reverses
- Fixed risk check to allow opposite direction trades (signal flips)
- Enhanced Position Manager to cancel orders when removing trades
- Added startup initialization for Position Manager (restores trades on restart)
- Fixed analytics to show stopped-out trades (manual DB update for orphaned trade)
- Updated reduce endpoint to route 100% closes through closePosition for proper cleanup
- All position closures now guarantee TP/SL order cancellation on Drift
- New endpoint: /api/trading/reduce-position to take partial profits
- Closes specified percentage at market price
- Recalculates and places new TP/SL orders for remaining size
- Entry price stays the same, only size is reduced
- Telegram command: /reduce [percent] (default 50%, range 10-90%)
- Shows realized P&L from the closed portion
- Example: /reduce 25 closes 25% and updates orders for remaining 75%
- New endpoint: /api/trading/scale-position to add to existing positions
- Calculates new average entry price after adding more size
- Cancels old TP/SL orders and places new ones at updated levels
- Telegram command: /scale [percent] (default 50%)
- Example: /scale 100 doubles your position
- Automatically adjusts Position Manager tracking with new values
- Cleaned up stale duplicate trade from database
- New API endpoint: /api/trading/validate-positions
- Validates TP1, TP2, SL, leverage, and position size against current settings
- Fixed position size calculation: config stores collateral, positions store total value
- Added /validate command to Telegram bot for remote checking
- Returns detailed report of any mismatches with expected vs actual values
- Implemented /status command handler in telegram_command_bot.py
- Shows real-time P&L, entry/current prices, TP/SL levels, position info
- Added TRADING_BOT_URL and API_SECRET_KEY environment variables
- Updated docker-compose.telegram-bot.yml with new env vars
- Bot connects to trading-bot-v4:3000 API via internal Docker network
- Added comprehensive documentation and testing guides
- Command displays formatted position info with emojis (profit/loss indicators)
- Shows 'No open positions' message when no trades active
- Added telegram_command_bot.py with slash commands (/buySOL, /sellBTC, etc)
- Docker compose setup with DNS configuration
- Sends trades as plain text to n8n webhook (same format as TradingView)
- Improved Telegram success message formatting
- Only responds to authorized chat ID (579304651)
- Commands: /buySOL, /sellSOL, /buyBTC, /sellBTC, /buyETH, /sellETH
