- 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
