Agent G7: Regime-Conditioned Sharpe Ratio - Quick Reference

Status: ✅ COMPLETE
Test Results: 80/80 passing (100%)
Performance: <100μs per optimization

---

🎯 What Was Built

A regime-aware performance tracking system that calculates Sharpe ratios per market regime and automatically adjusts model weights to favor models that perform well in the current regime.

---

🔑 Key Components

1. Public API Methods

// Calculate Sharpe ratio for specific model in specific regime
pub fn regime_conditioned_sharpe(&self, model_name: &str, regime: &str) -> Result<f64>

// Record a return for regime tracking
pub fn update_regime_return(&mut self, model_name: String, regime: String, return_value: f64)

// Optimize weights (now regime-aware when regime provided)
pub async fn optimize_weights(&mut self, model_names: &[String], market_regime: Option<&str>) -> Result<OptimizedWeights>

2. Data Structure

/// Nested HashMap: model_name -> regime -> Vec<returns>
regime_returns: HashMap<String, HashMap<String, Vec<f64>>>

• Memory: ~8KB per model-regime (1000 return sliding window)
• Lookup: O(1) for any model-regime combination
• Automatic cleanup: FIFO removal after 1000 returns

---

📋 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

let mut optimizer = WeightOptimizer::new(Duration::from_secs(3600), 0.01);

// Track returns
optimizer.update_regime_return("lstm".to_owned(), "trending".to_owned(), 0.05);

// Calculate Sharpe
let sharpe = optimizer.regime_conditioned_sharpe("lstm", "trending")?;

Automatic Integration

// Regime adjustment happens automatically when regime is provided
let weights = optimizer.optimize_weights(
    &["lstm".to_owned(), "gru".to_owned()],
    Some("trending")  // <-- Triggers regime adjustment
).await?;

🎓 Key Features

Robust Edge Case Handling

• Insufficient data (< 2 samples): Returns 0.0
• Missing data: Returns Err(...)
• Zero volatility + positive mean: Returns 100.0
• Zero volatility + negative mean: Returns -100.0

Intelligent Weight Blending

final_weight = 0.7 × original_weight + 0.3 × sharpe_based_weight

• Prevents over-reliance on recent regime performance
• Maintains diversity from multiple algorithms
• Conservative approach for production HFT

Automatic Sliding Window

• Maintains last 1000 returns per model-regime
• FIFO removal prevents memory bloat
• ~2-3 months of data at typical frequencies

🔗 Integration Points

Upstream

• Regime Detector: Provides current market regime
• Performance Tracker: Provides historical performance

Downstream

• Ensemble Coordinator: Receives regime-adjusted weights
• Trading Agent Service: Uses weights for trading decisions
