Implementation Details

Method Signature

async fn get_ml_performance(
    &self,
    model: Option<&str>,           // Optional model filter
    api_gateway_url: &str,          // API Gateway endpoint
    jwt_token: &str,                // JWT authentication token
) -> Result<()>

Key Features

   • Format: Bearer {jwt_token}
   • Authorization header: authorization

3. Request Construction

   • GetMlPerformanceRequest with optional model_filter
   • Filter by model name (e.g., "DQN", "MAMBA2") or show all models

4. Response Processing

   • Iterates through performance.models vector
   • Extracts metrics: accuracy, predictions, sharpe_ratio, avg_return, max_drawdown
   • Converts ratios to percentages (×100.0)

5. Color Coding

   Accuracy (percentage):

   • Green: >70%
   • Yellow: 65-70%
   • Red: <65%

   Sharpe Ratio:

   • Green: >2.0
   • Yellow: 1.5-2.0
   • Red: <1.5

   Average Return:

   • Green: >2.0%
   • Yellow: 0-2.0%
   • Red: <0%

   Max Drawdown (absolute value):

   • Green: <3.0%
   • Yellow: 3.0-5.0%
   • Red: >5.0%

6. Table Formatting

   • Unicode box drawing characters: ┌─┬─┐├─┼─┤└─┴─┘│
   • Fixed-width columns for alignment
   • Bright black borders for visual separation
   • Colored terminal output using colored crate

7. Ensemble Summary

   • Displayed when model filter is None (showing all models)
   • Shows:
     • Ensemble confidence threshold (e.g., 0.60)
     • Active models count (e.g., 4/4 models operational)
   • Color coded: threshold (green), active count (yellow)

CLI Usage Examples

View All Models

# Show all ML model performance metrics
tli trade ml performance

# Requires:
# - API Gateway running on http://localhost:50051
# - Valid JWT token (from `tli auth login`)

Filter by Model

# Show only DQN model performance
tli trade ml performance --model DQN

# Show only MAMBA2 model performance
tli trade ml performance --model MAMBA2

# Show only PPO model performance
tli trade ml performance --model PPO

# Show only TFT model performance
tli trade ml performance --model TFT

---

Data Source

Performance metrics are fetched from Trading Service via API Gateway, which uses SharedMLStrategy to track:

• Model predictions (total count, correct count)
• Accuracy percentage (correct / total × 100)
• Sharpe ratio (risk-adjusted returns)
• Average return per prediction
• Maximum drawdown
• Inference latency (not displayed in table)

Data is stored in-memory by SharedMLStrategy (common/src/ml_strategy.rs) and updated via:

// After each prediction outcome is known
strategy.validate_predictions(&predictions, actual_return).await;

---

Error Handling

Connection Failures

Error: Failed to connect to API Gateway: Connection refused (os error 111)

Resolution: Ensure API Gateway is running on port 50051

Authentication Failures

Error: GetMLPerformance RPC failed: Unauthenticated: Invalid JWT token

Resolution: Run tli auth login to obtain valid JWT token

Invalid Model Filter

Error: GetMLPerformance RPC failed: NotFound: Model 'INVALID' not found

Resolution: Use valid model names: DQN, MAMBA2, PPO, TFT

---

Testing

Unit Tests

The implementation includes 3 unit tests in trade_ml.rs:

1. test_submit_command_parses - Tests submit command structure
2. test_predictions_command_parses - Tests predictions command structure
3. test_performance_command_parses - Tests performance command structure

Run tests:

cargo test -p tli -- test_performance_command_parses

Integration Tests

Integration tests exist in:

/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/services/trading_service/tests/grpc_ml_methods_test.rs

Key tests:

• test_get_ml_performance_all_models (lines 278-322)
• test_get_ml_performance_single_model (lines 325-348)

These tests validate:

• gRPC method responds correctly
• Performance data is accurate
• Model filtering works
• Metrics are within expected ranges

---

Compilation Verification

$ cargo check -p tli
    Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 1m 50s

✅ Status: Compiles successfully without errors or warnings

---

Dependencies

All required dependencies are already present in tli/Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
anyhow = "1.0"           # Error handling
clap = { version = "4.5", features = ["derive"] }  # CLI argument parsing
colored = "2.1"          # Terminal color output
tonic = "0.12"           # gRPC client
tokio = { version = "1.40", features = ["full"] }  # Async runtime
chrono = "0.4"           # Timestamp handling (already imported)

No new dependencies added - implementation uses existing infrastructure.

   • JWT metadata forwarding

---

Code Quality

Adherence to Patterns

1. ✅ Follows existing submit_ml_order and get_ml_predictions patterns

   • gRPC client connection
   • JWT authentication via metadata
   • Error handling with descriptive messages
   • Colored terminal output

2. ✅ Proper error handling

   • map_err() with descriptive error messages
   • Result<()> return type
   • Propagates errors up to CLI handler

3. ✅ Documentation

   • Rustdoc comments with ///
   • # Arguments section
   • # Production Implementation description

4. ✅ Consistent formatting

   • Matches existing code style
   • Proper indentation
   • Clear variable naming

---

Performance Considerations

Network Latency

• Expected latency: <50ms for local API Gateway connection
• Optimization: Single gRPC call per command invocation
• Caching: No caching implemented (real-time metrics)

Memory Usage

• Minimal heap allocations: Only for response vectors
• No large buffers: Performance data is typically <1KB per model
• Efficient iteration: Direct iteration over response models

Terminal Rendering

• Lazy evaluation: Color codes applied only when printing
• No unnecessary string allocations: Uses format!() efficiently
• Unicode rendering: Works on all modern terminals

---

Future Enhancements (Not in Scope)

These are optional improvements for future waves:

1. Historical Performance Tracking

   • Add --start-date and --end-date flags
   • Show performance trends over time
   • Proto already supports start_time and end_time fields

2. Export to CSV/JSON

   • Add --output-format flag (table|csv|json)
   • Enable scripting and automation

3. Performance Comparison

   • Show head-to-head model comparisons
   • Statistical significance tests

4. Interactive Mode

   • Real-time performance monitoring
   • Auto-refresh every N seconds

5. Graphical Output

   • ASCII charts for metrics
   • Sparklines for trends

---

Integration Points

Backend Requirements

For this implementation to work, the following backend components must be operational:

1. API Gateway (port 50051)

   • gRPC server running
   • JWT authentication enabled
   • Trading Service proxy configured

2. Trading Service

   • GetMLPerformance RPC method implemented
   • Connected to PostgreSQL database
   • Performance metrics populated via SharedMLStrategy

3. Database (PostgreSQL)

   • ensemble_predictions table
   • ml_model_performance table
   • Performance data seeded (via ML training or live trading)

Test Data Setup

For local testing, use the test database seeding helpers in:

/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/services/trading_service/tests/grpc_ml_methods_test.rs

Functions:

• seed_model_performance() (lines 80-100)
• Seeds performance data for DQN, MAMBA2, PPO, TFT models

---

Known Limitations

1. No Offline Mode

   • Requires API Gateway to be running
   • Falls back to error message (not mock data)
   • Consistent with TLI architecture (pure client)

2. Performance Data Staleness

   • Metrics are only as fresh as last validate_predictions() call
   • No real-time updates during command execution
   • Acceptable for most use cases (30-day rolling window)

3. Model Name Case Sensitivity

   • Model filter is case-sensitive
   • Must use exact names: "DQN", "MAMBA2", "PPO", "TFT"
   • Not "dqn" or "mamba2"

---

Validation Checklist
