  --symbols ES.FUT,NQ.FUT,CL.FUT,GC.FUT,ZN.FUT \
  --start 2024-01-01 --end 2024-03-31

# Step 3: Validate data quality
./scripts/validate_dbn_quality.sh test_data/real/databento/*.dbn

# Step 4: Run tests

• LRU caching (configurable)
• Automatic price anomaly correction
• Performance: 0.70ms per file

2. DbnRepository (services/backtesting_service/src/dbn_repository.rs)

• MarketDataRepository trait implementation
• Date range queries
• Volume filtering
• Regime sampling
• Bar resampling
• Statistical analysis

3. Price Correction System

• 100x multiplier detection (7 vs 9 decimal places)
• Context-aware spike detection (>50% change)
• Instrument range validation
• Corrupted data filtering
• Impact: 96.4% anomaly reduction

API Examples

Basic Loading:

// Single file (backward compatible)
let ds = DbnDataSource::new(file_mapping).await?;
let bars = ds.load_ohlcv_bars("ES.FUT").await?;

Multi-Day Loading:

// Multiple files per symbol
let ds = DbnDataSource::new_multi_file(file_mapping).await?;
let bars = ds.load_ohlcv_bars_all("ESH4").await?;  // All 3 days

Date Range Queries:

// Load specific date range
let bars = ds.load_ohlcv_bars_range("ES.FUT", start, end).await?;

Repository Pattern:

// Use via MarketDataRepository trait
let repo = DbnRepository::new(ds);
let bars = repo.load_data(symbol, start, end).await?;
