jgrusewski 852ee87c38 feat: reward v6 — sparse trade-completion only (ETDQN validated)
Eliminates the dense per-bar reward component entirely. Per-bar ES returns
have SNR of 0.001 — mathematically unlearnable. The model trained on noise.

Reward v6 design (Takara et al. 2023, ETDQN):
- During trade: reward = 0.0 (ZERO — no noise)
- At trade exit: reward = 10.0 × vol_normalized(trade_return)
- Turnover penalty: -0.05 × |delta_position| / max_position
- Loss aversion: 1.5× on negative rewards

Vol normalization (Zhang 2020): CUSUM proxy for realized volatility.
Makes rewards comparable across trending vs ranging regimes.

Results (50-epoch local smoke test):
- v5: Sharpe -0.82 to -0.37, Return -25% to -10%, 0 profitable epochs
- v6: Sharpe -0.37 to +0.25, Return -9% to +6.6%, 7 profitable epochs
- PF >1.0 in 7 epochs (was 0). MaxDD 6-17% (was 14-32%).

Also: C51 v_range widened to ±50 (default), hyperopt computes ±(10/(1-γ)×1.2).

Building

# Check compilation (no PostgreSQL required)

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
