ARCHITECTURAL FIX: Resolves critical feature dimension mismatch
- Training: 256 features → 225 features
- Inference: 30 features → 225 features
- Models: 16-32 features → 225 features (ready for retraining)
CHANGES:
Wave 1-2: Create common/src/features/ module structure
- Created features/mod.rs (module root)
- Created features/types.rs (FeatureVector225 = [f64; 225])
- Created features/technical_indicators.rs (510 lines: RSI, EMA, MACD, Bollinger, ATR, ADX)
- Created features/microstructure.rs (skeleton)
- Created features/statistical.rs (skeleton)
Wave 3: Implement dual API (streaming + batch)
- Streaming API: RSI, EMA, MACD, BollingerBands, ATR, ADX (stateful calculators)
- Batch API: rsi_batch, ema_batch, macd_batch, bollinger_batch, atr_batch, adx_batch
- Zero-cost abstraction: No runtime performance degradation
Wave 4: Integration
- Updated common/src/lib.rs: Export features module + 12 public types/functions
- Updated ml/src/features/extraction.rs: [f64; 256] → [f64; 225], use common::features
- Updated ml/src/features/unified.rs: FeatureVector → [f64; 225]
- Updated common/src/ml_strategy.rs: Added 7 indicator calculators, extended to 225 features
- Fixed 24 test assertions across 7 files (30/256 → 225)
Wave 5: Validation
- Compilation: ✅ 0 errors (all 28 crates compile)
- Tests: ✅ 99.4% pass rate maintained (2,062/2,074)
- Warnings: 54 non-blocking (8 auto-fixable)
- Feature consistency: ✅ 0 remaining [f64; 256] or [f64; 30] references

- Files modified: 14 (extraction, tests, re-exports)
- Lines added: ~3,118
- Lines deleted: ~250

Next Steps (Pre-Production)
1. Full Year Backtest (High Priority)
cargo test -p backtesting_service test_wave_d_full_year_backtest -- --ignored --show-output
- Purpose: Validate Wave D on 12-month real DBN data
- Expected: Sharpe ≥2.0, Win Rate ≥60%, Drawdown ≤15%
- Duration: ~5-10 minutes (with real data loading)
2. Multi-Symbol Validation (High Priority)
- Run Wave D backtest on: NQ.FUT, 6E.FUT, ZN.FUT
- Validate regime detection across different asset classes
- Expected: Similar Sharpe improvements (±10% variance)
3. CSV/JSON Export Generation (Medium Priority)
- Run full backtest with export enabled
- Generate
results/wave_comparison_ES.FUT_*.csvand.json - Validate export format and content
4. Code Cleanup (Low Priority)
- Fix unused imports:
cargo fix --lib -p backtesting_service - Add
#[derive(Debug)]to 20 feature extractors - Remove unused fields in
MLPoweredStrategy,WaveComparisonBacktest
