jgrusewski 30f944f015 feat(surfer): equity low-vol gauntlet — real structure, marginal after realistic cost
Full gauntlet on the lottery-aversion lead (liquid high-vol cohort). BASE L/S +0.74/OOS
+0.72 but: name-bootstrap frac>0 only 0.77 (fragile vs momentum's 1.00); edge lives at
$5-20M floor (smaller names, real spreads > the 10bp assumed), dies at $50M; the L/S edge
is mostly shorting hard-to-borrow hype names (30%/yr borrow -> +0.04 gone); long-only
realistic = +0.33, DSR 0.07 (not significant). corr to crypto book -0.05 (uncorrelated ->
would diversify IF real). DSR 0.22/0.07 -- neither clears 0.5. Closest non-crypto market,
theoretically sound, uncorrelated -- but marginal after realistic borrow+small-name cost,
NOT deploy-grade. A lead on the shelf, not a strategy. Crypto momentum+VRP remains the only
deploy-grade edge. Re-confirms the boundary.

broker_gateway_service FIX routing, broker connectivity
trading_service Core trading operations
ml_training_service Model training orchestration
data_acquisition_service Market data acquisition
trading_agent_service Autonomous trading agents
api_gateway gRPC API gateway with auth

Frontend

web-dashboard/ -- React 19 + TypeScript + Vite + TradingView charts.

Building

# Check compilation (no PostgreSQL required)
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check --workspace

# Run tests for a specific crate
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p <crate> --lib

# Clippy
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo clippy --workspace

ML Models

Four production model architectures on Candle v0.9.1 with CUDA:

  • DQN Rainbow -- Deep Q-Network with prioritized replay, dueling heads, noisy nets
  • PPO -- Proximal Policy Optimization with GAE and LSTM policies
  • TFT -- Temporal Fusion Transformer for multi-horizon forecasting
  • Mamba2 -- State space model for sequence prediction

Each model has a standalone trainer and a UnifiedTrainable adapter for the hyperopt pipeline.

Infrastructure

  • Git: Gitea at git.fxhnt.ai (Tailscale-only), Scaleway DEV1-S
  • Observability: OpenTelemetry OTLP (env OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT)
  • Database: PostgreSQL with SQLx offline mode for CI
