Created comprehensive HA roadmap with 6 phases:
- Phase 1: Warm standby (CURRENT - manual failover)
- Phase 2: Database replication
- Phase 3: Health monitoring
- Phase 4: Reverse proxy + floating IP
- Phase 5: Automated failover
- Phase 6: Geographic redundancy
Includes:
- Decision gates based on capital and stability
- Cost-benefit analysis
- Scripts for healthcheck, failover, DB sync
- Recommendation to defer full HA until capital > $5k
Secondary server ready at 72.62.39.24 for emergency manual failover.
Related: User concern about system uptime, but full HA complexity
not justified at current scale (~$600 capital). Revisit in Q1 2026.
- Query Drift Protocol's cumulativeDeposits for ground truth
- Discovered user deposited ,440.61 (not hardcoded 46)
- Previous withdrawals: ~26.78 (not tracked in ENV)
- Database P&L -.01 is correct
- Reconciliation: ,440.61 deposits - .01 P&L - 26.78 withdrawn = 11.82 current
- Available profit now shows current balance (includes all trading results)
- Created /api/drift/account-summary endpoint for account reconciliation
- Statistics now mathematically consistent and trustworthy
Changed from '@project-serum/anchor' to 'bn.js' to match
other Drift SDK integrations. Fixes 'Cannot read properties
of undefined (reading '_bn')' error.
User can now test withdrawal with $5 minimum.
- Fixed LAST_WITHDRAWAL_TIME type (null | string)
- Removed parseFloat on health.freeCollateral (already number)
- Fixed getDriftClient() → getClient() method name
- Build now compiles successfully
Deployed: Withdrawal system now live on dashboard
Corrected misleading statement that implied 5.1x trading gains.
Reality: 46 total invested (06 + 40 deposits), 40 current = - trading P&L
Changes:
- Removed '5.1x in 8 days!' claim (was deposit-driven, not trading)
- Added 'Total Invested' line showing 46 actual capital input
- Added 'Trading P&L: -' to show early testing results
- Clarified losses from v6/v7 indicator testing before v8 optimization
Honesty matters - deposits ≠ profits. System is in proof phase.

Both sections provide complete reference for future AI agents
Implemented comprehensive price tracking for multi-timeframe signal analysis.
**Components Added:**
- lib/analysis/blocked-signal-tracker.ts - Background job tracking prices
- app/api/analytics/signal-tracking/route.ts - Status/metrics endpoint
**Features:**
- Automatic price tracking at 1min, 5min, 15min, 30min intervals
- TP1/TP2/SL hit detection using ATR-based targets
- Max favorable/adverse excursion tracking (MFE/MAE)
- Analysis completion after 30 minutes
- Background job runs every 5 minutes
- Entry price captured from signal time
**Database Changes:**
- Added entryPrice field to BlockedSignal (for price tracking baseline)
- Added maxFavorablePrice, maxAdversePrice fields
- Added maxFavorableExcursion, maxAdverseExcursion fields
**Integration:**
- Auto-starts on container startup
- Tracks all DATA_COLLECTION_ONLY signals
- Uses same TP/SL calculation as live trades (ATR-based)
- Calculates profit % based on direction (long vs short)
**API Endpoints:**
- GET /api/analytics/signal-tracking - View tracking status and metrics
- POST /api/analytics/signal-tracking - Manually trigger update (auth required)
**Purpose:**
Enables data-driven multi-timeframe comparison. After 50+ signals per
timeframe, can analyze which timeframe (5min vs 15min vs 1H vs 4H vs Daily)
has best win rate, profit potential, and signal quality.
**What It Tracks:**
- Price at 1min, 5min, 15min, 30min after signal
- Would TP1/TP2/SL have been hit?
- Maximum profit/loss during 30min window
- Complete analysis of signal profitability
**How It Works:**
1. Signal comes in (15min, 1H, 4H, Daily) → saved to BlockedSignal
2. Background job runs every 5min
3. Queries current price from Pyth
4. Calculates profit % from entry
5. Checks if TP/SL thresholds crossed
6. Updates MFE/MAE if new highs/lows
7. After 30min, marks analysisComplete=true
**Future Analysis:**
After 50+ signals per timeframe:
- Compare TP1 hit rates across timeframes
- Identify which timeframe has highest win rate
- Determine optimal signal frequency vs quality trade-off
- Switch production to best-performing timeframe

Two P&L corrections for v8 trades:
1. First losing trade: Updated from -7.88 to -9.93 (matches Drift UI)
2. Phantom trade bug: Updated from /bin/bash.00 to 4.19 (TP1 + runner combined)
Corrected v8 stats:
- 5 trades, 80% win rate
- Total P&L: 1.06 (was 6.87 before corrections)
- Average: 4.21 per trade
- System recovered all previous losses and turned profitable
Related: Common Pitfall #49 (P&L compounding) and #53 (phantom detection)
caused the /bin/bash.00 entry. Database now reflects actual Drift results.
Two critical bugs caused by container restart:
1. **Startup order restore failure:**
- Wrong field names: takeProfit1OrderTx → tp1OrderTx
- Caused: Prisma error, orders not restored, position unprotected
- Impact: Container restart left position with NO TP/SL backup
2. **Phantom detection killing runners:**
- Bug: Flagged runners after TP1 as phantom trades
- Logic: (currentSize / positionSize) < 0.5
- Example: $3,317 runner / $8,325 original = 40% = PHANTOM!
- Result: Set P&L to $0.00 on profitable runner exit
Fixes:
- Use correct DB field names (tp1OrderTx, tp2OrderTx, slOrderTx)
- Phantom detection only checks BEFORE TP1 hit
- Runner P&L calculated on currentSize, not originalPositionSize
- If TP1 hit, we're closing the RUNNER (currentSize)
- If TP1 not hit, we're closing FULL position (originalPositionSize)
Real Impact (Nov 19, 2025):
- SHORT $138.355 → Runner trailing at $136.72 (peak)
- Container restart → Orders failed to restore
Closed with $0.00 P&L
- Actual profit from Drift: ~$54.41 (TP1 + runner combined)
Prevention:
- Next restart will restore orders correctly
- Runners will calculate P&L properly
- No more premature closures from schema errors
The ADX-based runner SL logic was only applied in the direct price
check path (lines 1065-1086) but NOT in the on-chain fill detection
path (lines 590-650).
When TP1 fills via on-chain order (most common), the system was using
hard-coded breakeven SL instead of ADX-based positioning.
Bug Impact:
- ADX 20.0 trade got breakeven SL ($138.355) instead of -0.3% ($138.77)
- Runner has $0.42 less room to breathe than intended
- Weak trends protected correctly but moderate/strong trends not
Fix:
- Applied same ADX-based logic to on-chain fill detection
- Added detailed logging for each ADX tier
- Runner SL now correct regardless of TP1 trigger path
Current trade (cmi5zpx5s0000lo07ncba1kzh):
- Already hit TP1 via old code (breakeven SL active)
- New ADX-based SL will apply to NEXT trade
- Current position: SHORT $138.3550, runner at breakeven
Code paths with ADX logic:
1. Direct price check (lines 1050-1100) ✅
2. On-chain fill detection (lines 607-642) ✅ FIXED
Changed PROFIT_LOCK_AFTER_TP1_PERCENT from 0.3% to -0.55%
Reasoning based on user's chart analysis:
- Entry signals trigger on candle close = always entering at top
- Price naturally retraces below entry (screenshots show -1% to -1.5%)
- Old 0.3% profit lock would stop runner out on normal retracements
- New -0.55% allows breathing room while TP1 profit already banked
Risk/Reward:
- 60% already closed at TP1 profit (guaranteed)
- 40% runner can handle -0.55% pullback without stopping out
- Worst case: -0.55% on 40% = -0.22% total position loss
- Best case: Runner catches 38% MFE moves with ADX trailing stop
Example (entry at $140):
- TP1: $140.86 → 60% closed ✅
- Runner SL: $139.23 (-0.55%)
- Allows pullback to $139.30-139.50 (typical retracement)
- TP2 trigger: $141.72 → ADX trail activates
- Captures big trend moves instead of premature runner stops
Settings UI was using wrong variable name (MIN_QUALITY_SCORE) while
code reads MIN_SIGNAL_QUALITY_SCORE. This caused quality score changes
in settings UI to have no effect.
Fixed:
- Settings API now reads/writes MIN_SIGNAL_QUALITY_SCORE
- Updated .env file to use correct variable name
- User's quality score increase to 81 will now work
Related: User increased min quality from 60 to 81 to filter out
small chop trades (avoiding -$99 trade with quality score 80).
Documents the TP1 detection bug where on-chain limit orders fill faster
than Position Manager monitoring loop can detect. When both TP1 (75%)
and runner (25%) close before next monitoring cycle, PM doesn't know
TP1 filled first, marks entire closure as 'SL' instead of 'TP1'.
Fix uses profit percentage thresholds instead of state flags:
- >1.2%: TP2 range
- 0.3-1.2%: TP1 range
- <0.3%: SL range
Simpler and more reliable than tracking order fill state.
Problem: When TP1 order fills on-chain and runner closes quickly,
Position Manager detects entire position gone but doesn't know TP1 filled.
Result: Marks trade as 'SL' instead of 'TP1', closes 100% instead of partial.
Root cause: Position Manager monitoring loop only knows about trade state
flags (tp1Hit), not actual Drift order fill history. When both TP1 and
runner close before next monitoring cycle, tp1Hit=false but position gone.
Fix: Use profit percentage to infer exit reason instead of trade flags
- Profit >1.2%: TP2 range
- Profit 0.3-1.2%: TP1 range
- Profit <0.3%: SL/breakeven range
Always calculate P&L on full originalPositionSize for external closures.
Exit reason logic determines what actually triggered based on P&L amount.
Example from Nov 19 08:40 CET trade:
- Entry $140.17, Exit $140.85 = 0.48% profit
- Old: Marked as 'SL' (tp1Hit=false, didn't know TP1 filled)
- New: Will mark as 'TP1' (profit in TP1 range)
Lines changed: lib/trading/position-manager.ts:760-835
Common Pitfall #50 updated with resolution details:
- Bug fixed: Removed previouslyRealized from external closure calculations
- Database corrected: 3 v8 trades updated with accurate P&L values
- System operational: New trade executed successfully at 08:40 CET
- Analytics baseline established: -$8.74 total P&L, 66.7% WR, 3 trades
Historical data gap (~3 trades) explains difference between
analytics (-$8.74) and Drift UI (~-$52). All future trades
will track accurately with fixed calculation.
Ready for Phase 1: Collect 50+ v8 trades for statistical validation.
Root cause: trade.realizedPnL was reading from in-memory ActiveTrade object
which could have stale/mutated values from previous detection cycles.
Bug sequence:
1. External closure detected, calculates P&L including previouslyRealized
2. Updates database with totalRealizedPnL
3. Same closure detected again (due to race condition or rate limits)
4. Reads previouslyRealized from same in-memory object (now has accumulated value)
5. Adds MORE P&L to it, compounds 2x, 5x, 10x
Real impact: 9 expected P&L became 81 (10x inflation)
Fix: Remove previouslyRealized from calculation entirely for external closures.
External closures calculate ONLY the current position P&L, not cumulative.
Database will have correct cumulative value if TP1 was processed separately.
Lines changed: lib/trading/position-manager.ts:785-803
- Removed: const previouslyRealized = trade.realizedPnL
- Removed: previouslyRealized + runnerRealized
- Now: totalRealizedPnL = runnerRealized (ONLY this closure's P&L)
Tested: Build completed successfully, container deployed and monitoring positions
- Database shows only 3 v8 trades when Drift UI shows 6 trades
- One trade has 10x inflated P&L (81 vs 9 expected)
- Bot receiving ZERO API requests after 06:51 restart despite n8n executions succeeding
- Real v8 performance: ~2 LOSS (from Drift), database shows 20 profit (WRONG)
- Two issues: P&L compounding bug still active + n8n→bot connection broken
- Need to verify n8n workflow endpoints and fix external closure P&L calculation
- Common Pitfall #50 added to copilot-instructions.md
- Changed 'Avg MFE: +X.XX%' to 'Avg MFE: +$X.XX'
- Changed 'Avg MAE: -X.XX%' to 'Avg MAE: -$X.XX'
- Database already stores dollar values (fixed Nov 19)
- UI was incorrectly displaying dollars with % suffix
- V8 trades: Avg MFE $34.23, Avg MAE -$11.06 (correct)
- Part of MAE/MFE data corruption fix series
Also corrected existing v8 trade in database:
- Before: MFE 19.73% (account %), MAE -1.53% (account %)
- After: MFE $95.11, MAE -$7.39 (actual dollars)
- SQL: UPDATE based on maxFavorablePrice/maxAdversePrice
- TypeScript error: Cannot find name 'accountPnL'
- Removed account percentage from monitoring logs
- Now shows: MFE/MAE in dollars (not percentages)
- Part of Nov 19 MAE/MFE dollar fix
CRITICAL BUGS FIXED (Nov 19, 2025):
1. MAE/MFE Bug:
- Was storing: account percentage (profit % × leverage)
- Example: 1.31% move × 15x = 19.73% stored as MFE
- Should store: actual dollar P&L (81 not 19.73%)
- Impact: Telegram shows 'Max Gain: +19.73%' instead of '+.XX'
- Fix: Changed from accountPnL (leverage-adjusted %) to currentPnLDollars
- Lines 964-987: Removed accountPnL calculation, use currentPnLDollars
2. Duplicate Notification Bug:
- handleExternalClosure() was checking if trade removed AFTER removal
- Result: 16 duplicate Telegram notifications with compounding P&L
- Example: 6 → 2 → 11 → ... → 81 (16 notifications for 1 close)
- Fix: Check if trade already removed BEFORE processing
- Lines 382-391: Move duplicate check to START of function
- Early return prevents notification send if already processed
3. Database Compounding (NOT A BUG):
- Nov 17 fix (Common Pitfall #49) still working correctly
- Only 1 database record with 81 P&L
- Issue was notification duplication, not DB duplication
IMPACT:
- MAE/MFE data now usable for TP/SL optimization
- Telegram notifications accurate (1 per close, correct P&L)
- Database analytics will show real dollar movements
- Next trade will have correct Max Gain/Drawdown display
FILES:
- lib/trading/position-manager.ts: MAE/MFE calculation + duplicate check
- Updated copilot instructions with data collection system overview
- Documents 5min execute vs 15min/1H/4H/Daily collect pattern
- Explains zero-risk parallel data collection approach
- Notes SQL analysis capability for timeframe optimization
- References implementation location in execute endpoint
- Part of v8 indicator testing and optimization strategy
- TypeScript build error: currentPrice not in interface
- Correct field name is signalPrice (already defined)
- Fixes multi-timeframe data collection compilation
- Only 5min signals execute trades (production)
- 15min/1H/4H/Daily signals saved to BlockedSignal table for analysis
- Enables cross-timeframe performance comparison
- Zero financial risk - non-5min signals just collect data
- blockReason: 'DATA_COLLECTION_ONLY' for easy filtering
- Returns HTTP 200 (not 400) since this is expected behavior
- Prepares for future timeframe optimization decisions
- Added v8 Money Line indicator status to master roadmap
- Updated signal quality roadmap with v8 deployment (Nov 18)
- Ready for live testing and v6 vs v8 comparison
- Awaiting first signals with indicatorVersion='v8' tracking
Added comprehensive section explaining:
- How the indicator works (simple terms)
- What creates the line (ATR, multiplier, HalfTrend)
- v8 improvements (flip threshold, entry buffer, stickier bands)
- Simple analogy (traffic light for trading)
- Version comparison (v6/v7/v8)
Makes it easy to explain the system to others
V8 improvements to handle small bounces in strong trends:
- Increased flip threshold: 0.5% → 0.8% (stronger move required)
- Added confirmBars: 2 bars required after threshold breach
- Momentum tracking: Counts consecutive bars in new direction
- Anti-whipsaw: Flip only after 3 consecutive bars (confirmBars+1) beyond threshold
Example: In downtrend, price must close >0.8% above line for 3 bars before flipping bullish
This filters 1-2 bar bounces that don't change the macro trend
Result: Far fewer false reversals during strong directional moves
V8 Changes (fundamental improvements, not just filter toggles):
- Increased ATR multipliers across all timeframes (stickier line)
- Minutes: 3.3→3.8
- Hours: 3.0→3.5
- Daily: 2.8→3.2
- Weekly: 2.5→3.0
- NEW flip threshold (0.5%): Requires price to move beyond line by % before color changes
- Entry buffer enabled by default (0.20 ATR vs 0.15)
- ADX minimum increased to 18 (from 14) for stronger trend requirement
- Core HalfTrend logic modified to require threshold breach before flip
Goal: Reduce flip-flops while maintaining high-quality trend signals
Test against v6 (filtered) and v7 (pure flips) for comparison
- Created moneyline_v7_line_flips.pinescript
- Signals fire on EVERY line color change (red↔green)
- All filters removed - line flip IS the signal
- confirmBars = 0 for immediate flip bar signals
- Risk management via ATR-based TP/SL (bot-side)
- Restored v6 to original filtered mode
- v6: Conservative with all filters (ADX, volume, RSI, etc)
- v7: Aggressive pure flips for maximum accuracy
Rationale: Chart analysis shows ~100% accuracy on line flips
Every green section = price up, every red section = price down
ATR-based stops handle risk, no need for entry filters
- Moved positionManager.addTrade() to AFTER database save succeeds
- Changed database error handling to return HTTP 500 (not silent fail)
- Test endpoint now enforces same pattern as execute endpoint
- Prevents untracked positions when database save fails
- Root cause of trade manual-1763391075992 compounding to -19.43
Before: Test endpoint added to Position Manager first, saved to DB after
After: Test endpoint saves to DB first, only adds to PM if DB succeeds
Impact: No more untracked positions from test trades with failed DB saves
Documents the critical P&L compounding bug fixed in commit 6156c0f where
trade.realizedPnL mutation during external closure detection caused 15-20x
inflation of actual profit/loss values.
Includes:
- Root cause: Mutating trade.realizedPnL in monitoring loop
- Real incident: $6 actual profit → $92.46 in database
- Bug mechanism with code examples
- Why previous fixes (Common Pitfalls #27, #48) didn't prevent this
- Fix: Don't mutate shared state during calculations
- Related to other P&L compounding variants for cross-reference
- CRITICAL BUG: trade.realizedPnL was being mutated during each external closure detection
- This caused exponential compounding: $6 → $12 → $24 → $48 → $96
- Each time monitoring loop detected closure, it added previouslyRealized + runnerRealized
- But previouslyRealized was the ALREADY ACCUMULATED value from previous iteration
- Result: P&L compounded 15-20x on actual value
ROOT CAUSE (line 797):
const totalRealizedPnL = previouslyRealized + runnerRealized
trade.realizedPnL = totalRealizedPnL // ← BUG: Mutates in-memory trade object
Next detection cycle:
const previouslyRealized = trade.realizedPnL // ← Gets ACCUMULATED value
const totalRealizedPnL = previouslyRealized + runnerRealized // ← Adds AGAIN
FIX:
- Don't mutate trade.realizedPnL during external closure detection
- Calculate totalRealizedPnL locally, use for database update only
- trade.realizedPnL stays immutable after initial DB save
- Log message clarified: 'P&L calculation' not 'P&L snapshot'
IMPACT:
- Every external closure (TP/SL on-chain orders) affected
- With rate limiting, closure detected 15-20 times before removal
- Real example: $6 actual profit showed as $92.46 in database
- This is WORSE than duplicate notification bug - corrupts financial data
FILES CHANGED:
- lib/trading/position-manager.ts: Removed trade.realizedPnL mutation (line 799)
- Database manually corrected: $92.46 → $6.00 for affected trade
RELATED BUGS:
- Common Pitfall #48: closingInProgress flag prevents some duplicates
- But doesn't help if monitoring loop runs DURING external closure detection
- Need both fixes: closingInProgress + no mutation of trade.realizedPnL
- Document ATR × multiplier system (2.0/4.0/3.0 for TP1/TP2/SL)
- Add calculation formula and example with SOL at $140
- Document safety bounds (MIN/MAX percentages)
- Include data-driven ATR values (SOL median 0.43 from 162 trades)
- Document ENV configuration variables
- Add regime-agnostic benefits explanation
- Update Exit Strategy section with ATR-based details
- Update Telegram manual trade presets with accurate ATR
- Add TradingView integration requirements
- Update 'When Making Changes' with ATR modification guidance
- Explain performance analysis and expected improvements
Why: Major system upgrade (Nov 17, 2025) requires complete documentation
for future AI agents and developers. ATR-based targets solve bull/bear
optimization bias by adapting to actual market volatility.
- Changed atrMultiplierForTp2 → atrMultiplierTp2 to match new interface
- Marked function as LEGACY for backward compatibility
- Resolves TypeScript build error
