✅ PRE-DEPLOYMENT VALIDATION SUCCESSFUL
System is ready for Phase 0 (Pre-Production) deployment

Phase-Specific Checklists

Phase 0: Pre-Production (1-2 days)

  • All pre-deployment validation checks passed
  • Staging environment deployed
  • 10,000 predictions executed with zero errors
  • Ensemble coordinator loads all 6 models successfully
  • Inference latency targets met (< 50μs P99 for DQN/PPO)
  • Hot-swap mechanism tested with dummy checkpoints
  • Prometheus metrics reporting correctly
  • PostgreSQL audit logs persisting

Phase 1: Paper Trading (7 days)

  • Shadow mode enabled (0% real capital)
  • Ensemble predictions logged alongside baseline
  • Compare P&L: ensemble vs current production strategy
  • Monitor disagreement rate (expect 20-40% in volatile markets)
  • A/B testing infrastructure verified
  • Exit criteria met:
    • Sharpe ratio > 1.5
    • Win rate > 52%
    • Zero critical errors or rollbacks

Phase 2: Small Position (7 days, 1% capital)

  • Real execution enabled with $50K capital
  • Risk limits configured:
    • Max position: $10K per symbol
    • Max daily loss: $5K
    • Circuit breaker: 3 consecutive losses
  • Real P&L positive after transaction costs
  • Slippage within acceptable range (< 5 bps)
  • No execution errors or order rejections
  • Exit criteria met:
    • Sharpe ratio > 1.5
    • Total P&L > $5K
    • Max drawdown < 10%

Phase 3: Medium Position (14 days, 10% capital)

  • Capital scaled to $500K
  • Risk limits configured:
    • Max position: $100K per symbol
    • Max daily loss: $50K
    • Dynamic position sizing based on confidence
  • Consistent profitability across multiple symbols
  • Ensemble outperforms baseline (A/B test)
  • Model weights stabilize (no wild swings)
  • Exit criteria met:
    • Sharpe ratio > 1.8 (2 weeks)
    • A/B test statistically significant (p < 0.05)
    • Zero checkpoint rollbacks

Phase 4: Full Deployment (Ongoing, 100% capital)

  • Capital scaled to $5M (full allocation)
  • Risk limits configured:
    • Max position: $1M per symbol
    • Max daily loss: $250K
    • VaR-based position sizing
  • Daily P&L attribution per model
  • Weekly checkpoint updates with hot-swapping
  • Monthly A/B tests for new model variants
  • Quarterly retraining with latest market data

Emergency Rollback Checklist

Trigger Conditions

  • 3 consecutive losses
  • Daily drawdown > 5%
  • Disagreement rate > 70% for 1 hour
  • Latency P99 > 100μs for 5 minutes
  • Any model error rate > 5%

Rollback Procedure

  1. Circuit breaker triggers automatically
  2. Trading halted within 5 seconds
  3. PagerDuty alert sent to on-call engineer
  4. Slack notification posted to #trading-alerts
  5. Hot-swap to previous known-good checkpoints
  6. 5-minute canary validation
  7. Resume trading after validation passes
  8. Post-mortem incident report filed

Command to manually trigger rollback:

tli rollout rollback --reason "High disagreement rate detected"
