What Was Fixed

Bug #1: Smart Entry Using Wrong Signal Price ✅ DEPLOYED

Problem: Smart Entry used body.pricePosition (percentage like 70.8) as signal price instead of actual market price (~$142)

Impact:

• Smart Entry calculated 97% pullbacks (impossible)
• Triggered "pullback too large - possible reversal" logic
• Resulted in $89 positions instead of $2,300

Fix Location: app/api/trading/execute/route.ts (lines 485-565)

Before:

const signalPrice = body.signalPrice  // Was pricePosition (70.8)

After:

// Get current market price from Pyth
const priceMonitor = getPythPriceMonitor()
const latestPrice = priceMonitor.getCachedPrice(driftSymbol)
const currentPrice = latestPrice?.price
const signalPrice = currentPrice  // Actual market price (~$142)

---

Bug #2: Direction-Specific Leverage Thresholds ✅ DEPLOYED

Problem: ENV variables for direction-specific thresholds not explicitly loaded

Fix Location: config/trading.ts (lines 496-507)

Added:

// Direction-specific quality thresholds (Nov 28, 2025)
QUALITY_LEVERAGE_THRESHOLD_LONG: parseInt(
  process.env.QUALITY_LEVERAGE_THRESHOLD_LONG || 
  process.env.QUALITY_LEVERAGE_THRESHOLD || 
  '95'
),
QUALITY_LEVERAGE_THRESHOLD_SHORT: parseInt(
  process.env.QUALITY_LEVERAGE_THRESHOLD_SHORT || 
  process.env.QUALITY_LEVERAGE_THRESHOLD || 
  '90'
)

---

Next Steps

1. Wait for Quality 90+ Signal

Most signals are quality 70-85 (blocked). Need quality 90+ for actual execution.

Monitor command:

docker logs -f trading-bot-v4 | grep -E "Signal quality|Opening.*position"

2. Verify Position Size in Database

After next trade executes:

docker exec trading-bot-postgres psql -U postgres -d trading_bot_v4 -c "
SELECT 
  direction, symbol, \"entryPrice\", \"positionSizeUSD\", 
  leverage, \"signalQualityScore\",
  TO_CHAR(\"createdAt\", 'MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') as created
FROM \"Trade\"
WHERE symbol='SOL-PERP'
ORDER BY \"createdAt\" DESC
LIMIT 1;
"

Expected:

• positionSizeUSD ≈ $2,300 (not $89!)
• entryPrice ≈ $142-145 (current market)
• leverage = 5x or 10x (based on quality)

3. Implement Bug #3

After verification: Add Telegram entry notifications

Deployment Checklist (For Future Reference)

✅ Code committed to git
✅ Container image rebuilt: docker compose build trading-bot
✅ Container restarted: docker compose up -d trading-bot
✅ Verified container start time > commit time
✅ Checked logs for signal processing
⏳ Awaiting quality 90+ signal for full verification

Lessons Learned

1. Always Verify Deployment

Never assume code is deployed just because it's committed!

Check sequence:

1. Commit code to git ✅
2. Rebuild container image ✅
3. Restart container ✅
4. Verify timestamps ✅
5. Check logs for new behavior ⏳

2. Container Timestamp Verification

# Get commit time
git log -1 --format='%ai'

# Get container start time
docker inspect <container> --format='{{.State.StartedAt}}'

# Container MUST be newer than commit!

3. Deployment ≠ Commit

• Committing = Saves code to git
• Deployment = Rebuilding + Restarting container
• Both are required!

Current Status

System Health

• ✅ Container running with fixed code
• ✅ Quality filtering operational (blocked quality 45 signal)
• ✅ All services initialized correctly
• ✅ Ready for next quality 90+ signal

Waiting For

Next quality 90+ signal to verify:

• Signal price is ~$142 (actual market), not ~$70 (percentage)
• Smart Entry calculates reasonable pullback (<1%, not 97%)
• Position opens at ~$2,300 notional (not $89)
• Database shows correct size

Timeline Estimate

Quality 90+ signals are less frequent. Could be:

• Minutes (if market conditions align)
• Hours (more typical)
• Next trading session (most likely)
