# MBP-10 Order Book Structure & TLOB ML Integration Guide

**Status**: Production Ready | **Version**: 1.0 | **Updated**: 2025-10-16

## Overview

The `Mbp10Snapshot` structure provides efficient Level-2 order book representation for TLOB (Temporal Limit Order Book) model training. It captures 10 price levels on both bid and ask sides, enabling feature extraction for microstructure-based ML models.

**File Location**: `/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/data/src/providers/databento/mbp10.rs`

## Core Data Structures

### 1. BidAskPair - Single Price Level

```rust
#[repr(C)]
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct BidAskPair {
    /// Bid price (fixed-point, scaled by 1e-12)
    pub bid_px: i64,
    /// Bid size (volume)
    pub bid_sz: u32,
    /// Bid order count (number of orders)
    pub bid_ct: u32,

    /// Ask price (fixed-point, scaled by 1e-12)
    pub ask_px: i64,
    /// Ask size (volume)
    pub ask_sz: u32,
    /// Ask order count (number of orders)
    pub ask_ct: u32,
}
```

**Key Characteristics**:
- **Memory Layout**: Optimized for cache line alignment (`#[repr(C)]`)
- **Price Encoding**: Fixed-point i64 with 1e-12 scaling (supports precise handling)
- **Size Representation**: u32 for volume (supports up to 4.3B units)
- **Order Count**: u32 for order tracking (microstructure feature)

**Scaling Factor**: `1e-12` (example: 150000000000000 = $150.00)

---

### 2. Mbp10Snapshot - Complete Order Book

```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Mbp10Snapshot {
    /// Trading symbol (e.g., "ES.FUT", "AAPL")
    pub symbol: String,

    /// Timestamp (nanoseconds since Unix epoch)
    pub timestamp: u64,

    /// 10 price levels (index 0 = best bid/ask)
    pub levels: Vec<BidAskPair>,

    /// Sequence number (for incremental update tracking)
    pub sequence: u32,

    /// Trade count (cumulative trades since last snapshot)
    pub trade_count: u32,
}
```

**Constraints**:
- Exactly 10 levels for consistent feature dimensionality
- Best price always at index 0
- Prices ordered: best bid > worse bids, best ask < worse asks
- All levels should be sorted by price distance from midpoint

**Metadata Fields**:
- `sequence`: For detecting missed updates or recovery
- `trade_count`: Indicator of market activity/liquidity

---

### 3. OrderBookAction - Update Types

```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub enum OrderBookAction {
    Add,      // New order placed
    Modify,   // Existing order changed
    Cancel,   // Order removed
    Trade,    // Trade executed
}
```

Used for incremental order book updates during real-time streaming.

## API Reference

### BidAskPair Methods

#### Price Conversion

```rust
/// Convert fixed-point (1e-12) to floating-point price
pub fn price_to_f64(fixed: i64) -> f64 {
    fixed as f64 / 1e12
}

/// Convert floating-point price to fixed-point (1e-12)
pub fn price_from_f64(price: f64) -> i64 {
    (price * 1e12) as i64
}

/// Get bid price as f64
pub fn bid_price(&self) -> f64

/// Get ask price as f64
pub fn ask_price(&self) -> f64
```

**Examples**:
```rust
let level = BidAskPair {
    bid_px: 150000000000000,  // $150.00
    bid_sz: 100,
    bid_ct: 3,
    ask_px: 150000500000000,  // $150.005
    ask_sz: 200,
    ask_ct: 5,
};

let bid = level.bid_price();  // 150.0
let ask = level.ask_price();  // 150.0005
let spread = ask - bid;        // 0.0005
```

#### Validation

```rust
/// Check if level has valid data
pub fn is_valid(&self) -> bool {
    self.bid_px > 0 && self.ask_px > 0 && self.bid_sz > 0 && self.ask_sz > 0
}

/// Create empty/zero level
pub fn empty() -> Self
```

---

### Mbp10Snapshot Methods

#### Basic Accessors

```rust
/// Get best bid and ask prices (top of book)
pub fn get_best_bid_ask(&self) -> (f64, f64)

/// Mid price = (best_bid + best_ask) / 2
pub fn mid_price(&self) -> f64

/// Spread = best_ask - best_bid
pub fn spread(&self) -> f64

/// Number of valid (non-empty) levels
pub fn depth(&self) -> usize
```

#### Volume Analysis

```rust
/// Total volume across all bid levels
pub fn total_bid_volume(&self) -> u64

/// Total volume across all ask levels
pub fn total_ask_volume(&self) -> u64

/// Volume imbalance metric [-1, 1]
/// Returns: (bid_vol - ask_vol) / (bid_vol + ask_vol)
/// - Positive: More bid volume (bullish pressure)
/// - Negative: More ask volume (bearish pressure)
pub fn volume_imbalance(&self) -> f64
```

**Example**:
```rust
let imbalance = snapshot.volume_imbalance();
if imbalance > 0.1 {
    println!("Strong bullish pressure: {:.2}%", imbalance * 100.0);
} else if imbalance < -0.1 {
    println!("Strong bearish pressure: {:.2}%", imbalance * 100.0);
}
```

#### Advanced Metrics

```rust
/// Volume-Weighted Average Price across all levels
pub fn calculate_vwap(&self) -> f64
// VWAP = sum(price_i * volume_i) / sum(volume_i)
// Represents the average price weighted by volume

/// Volume-weighted mid price (best level only)
pub fn weighted_mid_price(&self) -> f64
// Uses: (bid_price * ask_vol + ask_price * bid_vol) / (bid_vol + ask_vol)
// More realistic mid-price considering volume distribution
```

---

#### Order Book Updates

```rust
/// Update a specific level (for incremental updates)
pub fn update_level(
    &mut self,
    level: usize,              // 0 = best, 9 = worst
    action: OrderBookAction,   // Add/Modify/Cancel/Trade
    price: i64,                // Fixed-point price (1e-12)
    size: u32,                 // New size
    order_count: u32,          // Number of orders at level
    is_bid: bool,              // true = bid side, false = ask side
)
```

**Behavior**:
- **Add/Modify**: Sets price, size, and order count at specified level
- **Cancel**: Zeroes out size and order count (keeps price for reference)
- **Trade**: Increments trade counter (doesn't modify book structure)
- **Validation**: Automatically expands levels vec if needed (up to 10)

**Example** - Processing incremental update:
```rust
let mut snapshot = Mbp10Snapshot::empty("ES.FUT".to_string());

// Best bid added at 4500.50
snapshot.update_level(
    0,                              // Level index
    OrderBookAction::Add,           // Action
    BidAskPair::price_from_f64(4500.50),
    1000,                          // Size
    5,                             // Order count
    true,                          // Bid side
);

// Best ask added at 4500.75
snapshot.update_level(
    0,
    OrderBookAction::Add,
    BidAskPair::price_from_f64(4500.75),
    800,
    3,
    false,  // Ask side
);

// Best bid is now crossed (modified)
snapshot.update_level(
    0,
    OrderBookAction::Modify,
    BidAskPair::price_from_f64(4500.55),
    1500,  // Increased size
    6,     // More orders
    true,
);

// Order cancelled
snapshot.update_level(
    0,
    OrderBookAction::Cancel,
    BidAskPair::price_from_f64(4500.55),
    0,     // Size cleared
    0,     // Order count cleared
    true,
);
```

## TLOB ML Integration

### Feature Extraction Pipeline

The TLOB (Temporal Limit Order Book) model uses MBP-10 snapshots to extract **51 microstructure features**:

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│   Mbp10Snapshot (10 levels)         │
└──────────────┬──────────────────────┘
               │
       ┌───────▼────────┐
       │ Feature Extract│
       └───────┬────────┘
               │
    ┌──────────┼──────────┐
    │          │          │
    ▼          ▼          ▼
Price Levels  Volume   Microstructure
Features(20)  Features Features(31)
               (10)
    │          │          │
    └──────────┼──────────┘
               │
        ┌──────▼────────┐
        │ 51-D Feature  │
        │ Vector (f32)  │
        └───────────────┘
```

### Feature Categories

#### 1. Price Level Features (20 features)

For each of 10 levels:
- Bid price (normalized)
- Ask price (normalized)

**Normalization**: Relative to mid-price for scale-invariance

```rust
let mid_price = snapshot.mid_price();
let bid_0 = (snapshot.levels[0].bid_price() - mid_price) / mid_price;
let ask_0 = (snapshot.levels[0].ask_price() - mid_price) / mid_price;
```

#### 2. Volume Features (10 features)

For each of 10 levels:
- Bid volume (log-normalized)
- Ask volume (log-normalized)

**Normalization**: log(volume + 1) to handle zero volumes and scale compression

```rust
let bid_vol_log = (snapshot.levels[i].bid_sz as f32 + 1.0).ln();
let ask_vol_log = (snapshot.levels[i].ask_sz as f32 + 1.0).ln();
```

#### 3. Microstructure Features (21 features)

```rust
// Spread features
let spread = snapshot.spread();
let spread_bps = spread / snapshot.mid_price() * 10000.0;  // Basis points

// Volume imbalance
let imbalance = snapshot.volume_imbalance();

// Depth features
let bid_depth_0_5 = (snapshot.levels[0].bid_sz + snapshot.levels[1].bid_sz) as f32;
let ask_depth_0_5 = (snapshot.levels[0].ask_sz + snapshot.levels[1].ask_sz) as f32;
let depth_ratio = bid_depth_0_5 / (ask_depth_0_5 + 1e-8);

// Liquidity features
let total_bid_vol = snapshot.total_bid_volume() as f32;
let total_ask_vol = snapshot.total_ask_volume() as f32;

// Order concentration
let order_concentration_bid = 
    snapshot.levels[0].bid_sz as f32 / (total_bid_vol + 1e-8);
let order_concentration_ask = 
    snapshot.levels[0].ask_sz as f32 / (total_ask_vol + 1e-8);

// VWAP-based features
let vwap = snapshot.calculate_vwap();
let weighted_mid = snapshot.weighted_mid_price();
let vwap_deviation = (vwap - snapshot.mid_price()) / snapshot.mid_price();

// Trade activity (from trade_count)
let trade_intensity = snapshot.trade_count as f32;

// Sequence monitoring (data quality)
let sequence_gap = snapshot.sequence as f32;
```

### ML Model Integration

#### Training Data Preparation

```rust
// 1. Load historical MBP-10 data
let snapshots = load_historical_mbp10("ES.FUT", start, end)?;

// 2. Extract features for each snapshot
let features: Vec<Vec<f32>> = snapshots
    .iter()
    .map(|snapshot| extract_mbp10_features(snapshot))
    .collect();

// 3. Create target labels (e.g., next-tick return direction)
let labels: Vec<i32> = snapshots
    .windows(2)
    .map(|w| {
        let mid_now = w[0].mid_price();
        let mid_next = w[1].mid_price();
        if mid_next > mid_now { 1 } else { -1 }
    })
    .collect();

// 4. Train TLOB model
let model = TLOBModel::train(features, labels, config)?;
```

#### Inference Pipeline

```rust
// 1. Receive new MBP-10 snapshot from streaming
let snapshot = receive_market_update()?;

// 2. Extract features
let features = extract_mbp10_features(&snapshot);

// 3. Run inference
let prediction = model.predict(&features)?;

// 4. Trading decision
if prediction > 0.5 {
    execute_buy_order()?;
} else {
    execute_sell_order()?;
}
```

## Feature Dimension Requirements

### TLOB Model Input Shape

```
Feature Vector: [51] dimensions
- Price levels:     20 (bid/ask for each level 0-9)
- Volume levels:    10 (bid/ask aggregated)
- Microstructure:   21 (spread, imbalance, depth, liquidity, concentration, VWAP)
─────────────────────────────
Total:             51 dimensions
```

### Batch Processing

```rust
// Training batch: [batch_size, seq_len, 51]
let batch_size = 32;
let seq_len = 10;  // 10 snapshots = 10ms @ 1000Hz
let feature_dim = 51;

// Single inference: [51]
let single_snapshot = extract_mbp10_features(&snapshot);
assert_eq!(single_snapshot.len(), 51);
```

---

## Usage Examples

### Example 1: Extract Features from Market Data

```rust
use data::providers::databento::mbp10::{Mbp10Snapshot, BidAskPair};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create order book snapshot
    let mut levels = vec![];
    
    // Best bid/ask
    levels.push(BidAskPair {
        bid_px: BidAskPair::price_from_f64(150.50),
        bid_sz: 1000,
        bid_ct: 5,
        ask_px: BidAskPair::price_from_f64(150.55),
        ask_sz: 800,
        ask_ct: 3,
    });
    
    // Level 2-10 (worse prices)
    for i in 1..10 {
        levels.push(BidAskPair {
            bid_px: BidAskPair::price_from_f64(150.50 - (i as f64 * 0.01)),
            bid_sz: 500 * (i as u32),
            bid_ct: 2 + (i as u32),
            ask_px: BidAskPair::price_from_f64(150.55 + (i as f64 * 0.01)),
            ask_sz: 400 * (i as u32),
            ask_ct: 1 + (i as u32),
        });
    }
    
    let snapshot = Mbp10Snapshot::new(
        "ES.FUT".to_string(),
        1728000000000000000,  // Nanos since epoch
        levels,
        42,     // Sequence
        100,    // Trade count
    );
    
    // Extract features for ML
    println!("Mid Price: ${:.2}", snapshot.mid_price());
    println!("Spread: ${:.4}", snapshot.spread());
    println!("Spread (bps): {:.2}", snapshot.spread() / snapshot.mid_price() * 10000.0);
    println!("Volume Imbalance: {:.2}%", snapshot.volume_imbalance() * 100.0);
    println!("VWAP: ${:.2}", snapshot.calculate_vwap());
    println!("Order Book Depth: {} levels", snapshot.depth());
    
    Ok(())
}
```

### Example 2: Incremental Updates

```rust
use data::providers::databento::mbp10::{Mbp10Snapshot, OrderBookAction};

fn process_market_update(
    mut snapshot: Mbp10Snapshot,
    update: MarketUpdate,
) -> Result<Mbp10Snapshot, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Process incoming update
    snapshot.update_level(
        update.level as usize,
        OrderBookAction::from(update.action),
        update.price_fixed,
        update.size,
        update.order_count,
        update.is_bid,
    );
    
    // Validate after update
    if snapshot.levels.iter().any(|l| !l.is_valid()) {
        println!("Warning: Invalid level in snapshot");
    }
    
    Ok(snapshot)
}
```

### Example 3: Building Training Dataset

```rust
fn build_training_dataset(
    snapshots: Vec<Mbp10Snapshot>,
) -> Result<(Vec<Vec<f32>>, Vec<i32>)> {
    let mut features = Vec::new();
    let mut labels = Vec::new();
    
    for i in 0..snapshots.len() - 1 {
        let current = &snapshots[i];
        let next = &snapshots[i + 1];
        
        // Extract features
        let mut feature_vec = vec![];
        
        // Add price level features (normalized)
        let mid = current.mid_price();
        for level in &current.levels {
            feature_vec.push(((level.bid_price() - mid) / mid) as f32);
            feature_vec.push(((level.ask_price() - mid) / mid) as f32);
        }
        
        // Add volume features
        for level in &current.levels {
            feature_vec.push((level.bid_sz as f32 + 1.0).ln());
            feature_vec.push((level.ask_sz as f32 + 1.0).ln());
        }
        
        // Add microstructure features
        feature_vec.push(current.spread() as f32);
        feature_vec.push(current.volume_imbalance() as f32);
        feature_vec.push(current.calculate_vwap() as f32);
        // ... add more features
        
        // Create label (next-tick prediction)
        let label = if next.mid_price() > current.mid_price() { 1 } else { -1 };
        
        features.push(feature_vec);
        labels.push(label);
    }
    
    Ok((features, labels))
}
```

## Data Quality Considerations

### Validation Checks

```rust
/// Validate snapshot data quality
pub fn validate_snapshot(snapshot: &Mbp10Snapshot) -> Result<(), String> {
    // Check for minimum depth
    if snapshot.depth() < 3 {
        return Err("Insufficient order book depth".to_string());
    }
    
    // Check for price crossover (bid > ask is invalid)
    let (bid, ask) = snapshot.get_best_bid_ask();
    if bid >= ask {
        return Err(format!("Price crossover detected: bid={}, ask={}", bid, ask));
    }
    
    // Check for reasonable spread
    let spread_bps = (ask - bid) / ((bid + ask) / 2.0) * 10000.0;
    if spread_bps > 1000.0 {
        return Err(format!("Unreasonable spread: {} bps", spread_bps));
    }
    
    // Check for price levels consistency (bid side)
    for i in 1..snapshot.levels.len() {
        let prev_bid = snapshot.levels[i-1].bid_price();
        let curr_bid = snapshot.levels[i].bid_price();
        if prev_bid <= curr_bid {
            return Err(format!("Bid prices not properly ordered at level {}", i));
        }
    }
    
    // Check for price levels consistency (ask side)
    for i in 1..snapshot.levels.len() {
        let prev_ask = snapshot.levels[i-1].ask_price();
        let curr_ask = snapshot.levels[i].ask_price();
        if prev_ask >= curr_ask {
            return Err(format!("Ask prices not properly ordered at level {}", i));
        }
    }
    
    Ok(())
}
```

### Anomaly Detection

```rust
pub fn detect_anomalies(snapshot: &Mbp10Snapshot) -> Vec<String> {
    let mut anomalies = vec![];
    
    let spread = snapshot.spread();
    let total_volume = snapshot.total_bid_volume() + snapshot.total_ask_volume();
    let imbalance = snapshot.volume_imbalance().abs();
    
    // Extreme spread
    if spread < 0.0001 {
        anomalies.push(format!("Extremely tight spread: ${:.6}", spread));
    }
    
    // Zero liquidity
    if total_volume == 0 {
        anomalies.push("Zero total volume".to_string());
    }
    
    // Extreme imbalance
    if imbalance > 0.95 {
        anomalies.push(format!("Extreme volume imbalance: {:.2}%", imbalance * 100.0));
    }
    
    // Large gaps in levels (missing levels)
    for i in 1..snapshot.levels.len() {
        let prev_bid = snapshot.levels[i-1].bid_price();
        let curr_bid = snapshot.levels[i].bid_price();
        let gap = (prev_bid - curr_bid) / curr_bid * 100.0;
        
        if gap > 5.0 {
            anomalies.push(format!(
                "Large gap in bid levels at {}: {:.2}%",
                i, gap
            ));
        }
    }
    
    anomalies
}
```

## Testing & Validation

### Unit Tests (Included in mbp10.rs)

```rust
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;

    #[test]
    fn test_price_conversion() {
        let fixed = 150000000000000; // 150.0 * 1e12
        let price = BidAskPair::price_to_f64(fixed);
        assert!((price - 150.0).abs() < 0.001);

        let back = BidAskPair::price_from_f64(price);
        assert_eq!(back, fixed);
    }

    #[test]
    fn test_empty_snapshot() {
        let snapshot = Mbp10Snapshot::empty("TEST".to_string());
        assert_eq!(snapshot.levels.len(), 10);
        assert_eq!(snapshot.depth(), 0);
    }

    #[test]
    fn test_snapshot_vwap() {
        let levels = vec![
            BidAskPair {
                bid_px: 100000000000000,
                bid_sz: 100,
                bid_ct: 5,
                ask_px: 101000000000000,
                ask_sz: 200,
                ask_ct: 6,
            },
        ];

        let snapshot = Mbp10Snapshot::new(
            "TEST".to_string(),
            0,
            levels,
            0,
            0,
        );

        let vwap = snapshot.calculate_vwap();
        assert!((vwap - 100.666).abs() < 0.01);
    }
}
```

### Integration Tests

```bash
# Test with real DBN data
cargo test --test ml_readiness -- --nocapture

# Feature extraction tests
cargo test --lib ml::features

# TLOB model tests
cargo test --lib ml::tlob
```

## Best Practices

### 1. Always Validate Snapshots

```rust
if let Err(e) = validate_snapshot(&snapshot) {
    error!("Invalid snapshot: {}", e);
    return;
}
```

### 2. Handle Zero Volumes

```rust
// Safe volume calculations
let total = total_bid + total_ask + 1e-8; // Epsilon to avoid division by zero
let imbalance = (total_bid - total_ask) / total;
```

### 3. Use Fixed-Point for Precision

```rust
// Avoid floating-point rounding errors
let price_fixed = BidAskPair::price_from_f64(150.5);
let price_f64 = BidAskPair::price_to_f64(price_fixed);
// Round-trip preserves precision
```

### 4. Feature Normalization for ML

```rust
// Normalize prices relative to mid-price
let mid = snapshot.mid_price();
let normalized_bid = (snapshot.levels[0].bid_price() - mid) / mid;

// Log-scale volumes
let volume_log = (snapshot.levels[0].bid_sz as f32 + 1.0).ln();
```

### 5. Monitor Data Quality

```rust
// Track anomalies
for anomaly in detect_anomalies(&snapshot) {
    metrics.anomaly_count.inc();
    warn!("Anomaly detected: {}", anomaly);
}
```

## Limitations & Future Enhancements

### Current Limitations

1. **Fixed 10 Levels**: Only captures best 10 price levels
   - Limitation: Exchanges may offer deeper order books
   - Mitigation: 10 levels capture ~99% of executed trades
   
2. **No Timestamp within Snapshot**: Only one timestamp per snapshot
   - Limitation: Can't track sub-millisecond updates
   - Mitigation: Sequence numbers for ordering

3. **Discrete Order Count**: u32 may lose precision for very deep books
   - Limitation: Extreme markets with 4B+ orders
   - Mitigation: Adjust scaling if needed

### Future Enhancements

1. **Level-3 Support**: Add individual order tracking
   ```rust
   pub struct Order {
       order_id: u64,
       price: i64,
       size: u32,
   }
   ```

2. **Time-series Features**: Track velocity and acceleration
   ```rust
   pub fn price_velocity(&self, prev: &Mbp10Snapshot) -> f64 {
       // (mid_now - mid_prev) / delta_time
   }
   ```

3. **Liquidity Prediction**: ML-based liquidity forecasting
   ```rust
   pub fn predict_liquidity_impact(&self, order_size: u32) -> f64 {
       // ML model: (order_size, current_book) → price_impact
   }
   ```
