Problem: Queue is in-memory only (Map), container restarts lose all queued signals
Impact: Quality 50-89 signals blocked but never validated, missed +8.56 manual entry opportunity
Root Cause: startSmartValidation() just created empty queue, never loaded from database
Fix:
- Query BlockedSignal table for signals within 30-minute entry window
- Re-queue each signal with original parameters
- Start monitoring if any signals restored
- Use console.log() instead of logger.log() for production visibility
Files Changed:
- lib/trading/smart-validation-queue.ts (Lines 456-500, 137-175, 117-127)
Expected Behavior After Fix:
- Container restart: Loads pending signals from database
- Signals within 30min window: Re-queued and monitored
- Monitoring starts immediately if signals exist
- Logs show: '🔄 Restoring N pending signals from database'
User Quote: 'the smart validation system should have entered the trade as it shot up'
This fix ensures the Smart Validation Queue actually works after container restarts,
catching marginal quality signals that confirm direction via price action.

- Problem: Quality 70 signal with strong ADX 29.7 hit TP1 after 30+ minutes
- Analysis: 3/10 blocked signals hit TP1, most moves develop after 15-30 min
- Solution: Extended entryWindowMinutes from 10 → 30 minutes
- Expected impact: Catch more profitable moves like today's signal
- Missed opportunity: $22.10 profit at 10x leverage (0.41% move)
Files changed:
- lib/trading/smart-validation-queue.ts: Line 105 (10 → 30 min)
- lib/notifications/telegram.ts: Updated expiry message
Trade-off: May hold losing signals slightly longer, but -0.4% drawdown
limit provides protection. Data shows most TP1 hits occur after 15-30min.
Status: ✅ DEPLOYED Dec 7, 2025 10:30 CET
Container restarted and verified operational.
- Split QUALITY_LEVERAGE_THRESHOLD into separate LONG and SHORT variants
- Added /api/drift/account-health endpoint for real-time collateral data
- Updated settings UI to show separate controls for LONG/SHORT thresholds
- Position size calculations now use dynamic collateral from Drift account
- Updated .env and docker-compose.yml with new environment variables
- LONG threshold: 95, SHORT threshold: 90 (configurable independently)
Files changed:
- app/api/drift/account-health/route.ts (NEW) - Account health API endpoint
- app/settings/page.tsx - Added collateral state, separate threshold inputs
- app/api/settings/route.ts - GET/POST handlers for LONG/SHORT thresholds
- .env - Added QUALITY_LEVERAGE_THRESHOLD_LONG/SHORT variables
- docker-compose.yml - Added new env vars with fallback defaults
Impact:
- Users can now configure quality thresholds independently for LONG vs SHORT signals
- Position size display dynamically updates based on actual Drift account collateral
- More flexible risk management with direction-specific leverage tiers
- Created lib/trading/smart-validation-queue.ts (270 lines)
- Queue marginal quality signals (50-89) for validation
- Monitor 1-minute price action for 10 minutes
- Enter if +0.3% confirms direction (LONG up, SHORT down)
- Abandon if -0.4% invalidates direction
- Auto-execute via /api/trading/execute when confirmed
- Integrated into check-risk endpoint (queues blocked signals)
- Integrated into startup initialization (boots with container)
- Expected: Catch ~30% of blocked winners, filter ~70% of losers
- Estimated profit recovery: +$1,823/month
Files changed:
- lib/trading/smart-validation-queue.ts (NEW - 270 lines)
- app/api/trading/check-risk/route.ts (import + queue call)
- lib/startup/init-position-manager.ts (import + startup call)
