🎯 System Overview

Foxhunt is a high-frequency trading system built in Rust with ML/AI-powered decision making. Microservices architecture with gRPC communication, PostgreSQL for persistence, and advanced ML models (MAMBA-2, DQN, PPO, TFT, TLOB).

Core Principle: REUSE existing infrastructure. DO NOT rebuild components.

Component Responsibilities

API Gateway: Single entry point, JWT + MFA auth, rate limiting, audit logging, 37 gRPC methods across 5 backend services (Trading, Backtesting, ML Training, Trading Agent, Risk/Monitoring/Config)

Trading Agent Service (NEW - Wave 11): Portfolio orchestration and decision-making

ML Hyperparameter Tuning Flow

User → tli tune → API Gateway → ML Training Service
                                       ↓
                          Optuna Controller (subprocess)
                                       ↓
                          TrainModel gRPC (internal)
                                       ↓
                          DQN/PPO/MAMBA-2/TFT Trainers
                                       ↓
                          Sharpe Ratio → Optuna → MinIO

Component Responsibilities:

• TLI: User interface for tuning (tune start/status/best/stop)
• API Gateway: Auth, rate limiting, proxy to ML service
• ML Training Service: Orchestrates tuning, spawns Optuna subprocess
• Optuna Controller: HPO logic, sequential trials (n_jobs=1), JournalStorage
• TrainModel gRPC: Internal method for actual model training
• Trainers: GPU-accelerated training (DQN/PPO/MAMBA-2/TFT)
• MinIO: Study persistence, checkpoint storage

TLI Commands:

tli tune start --model DQN --trials 50 --watch       # Start tuning job
tli tune status --job-id <uuid>                      # Check progress
tli tune best --job-id <uuid>                        # Get best hyperparameters
tli tune stop --job-id <uuid>                        # Cancel running job

Configuration:

• tuning_config.yaml: Search spaces for each model (learning rate, batch size, etc.)
• GPU: RTX 3050 Ti (4GB VRAM), sequential trials (n_jobs=1)
• Objective: Sharpe ratio (annualized risk-adjusted returns)

Performance Expectations:

• Trial duration: ~5-10 minutes per trial
• 50 trials: 4-8 hours
• Early stopping (MedianPruner): 30-50% time savings on poor hyperparameters

🚫 Critical Architectural Rules

1. Configuration Management

• ONLY config crate accesses Vault
• Services import: use config::{ServiceConfig, ConfigManager};
• NEVER create foxhunt-* prefixed crates
• All services use: CLI_FLAG > ENV_VAR > DEFAULT precedence

2. TLI Architecture

• TLI is PURE CLIENT - NO server components
• NO database/ML/risk dependencies
• Connects ONLY to API Gateway (port 50051)

3. Service Boundaries

• API Gateway: Server for TLI, client for backend services
• Trading Service: Monolithic business logic
• Backtesting/ML Services: Independent, specialized services
• All inter-service communication via gRPC

4. Error Handling Patterns

// CommonError factory methods
CommonError::config("message")
CommonError::network("message")
CommonError::service(ErrorCategory, "msg")
CommonError::validation("message")
CommonError::internal("message")

// StorageError variants
StorageError::ConfigError { message }
StorageError::IoError { message }
StorageError::NetworkError { message }
// NO StorageError::Common variant!

5. Port Validation

Services fail-fast on port conflicts with clear error messages:

# Check port usage
lsof -i :50054

# Kill conflicting process
kill -9 $(lsof -ti:50054)

• Wave 160 Decision: Excluded from training pipeline (fallback engine sufficient)
• Future Work: Neural network training when Level-2 data becomes available
• Documentation: See TLOB_TRAINING_INTEGRATION_STATUS.md for full analysis

MAMBA-2 Shape Bug Fix (Agent 172-175, Wave 206):

• Bug: SSM matrices B/C used d_model (256) instead of d_inner (1024) after input projection
• Symptom: Matrix multiplication produced [batch, seq, 1024] instead of [batch, seq, d_state=16]
• Root Cause: B matrix shape was [d_state=16, d_model=256] but should be [d_state=16, d_inner=1024]
• Fix Applied:
  • Line 245: B = Tensor::randn(0.0, 1.0, (config.d_state, d_inner), device) (was: config.d_model)
  • Line 253: C = Tensor::randn(0.0, 1.0, (d_inner, config.d_state), device) (was: config.d_model)
• Feature Dimension Flow: 9D input → 256D (learned projection) → 1024D (SSM expansion, d_inner = d_model * expand)
• DType Migration: F32 → F64 for all tensors (improved numerical stability in SSM discretization)
• Training Scripts Cleaned: Removed mamba2_simple_train.rs, train_mamba2_production.rs (obsolete)
• Production Script: train_mamba2_dbn.rs - primary MAMBA-2 training with real DBN market data
• Status: ✅ READY FOR TRAINING - shape bug fixed, numerical stability improved

TLI Token Persistence Fix (Wave 154 Complete):

• Status: ✅ PRODUCTION READY - Token persistence working reliably
• Test Pass Rate: 100% (8/8 persistence tests + 80/80 E2E tests)
• Implementation: FileTokenStorage replaces buggy Linux keyring
• User Experience: Login once, use multiple commands (10x better UX)
• Security: 600/700 Unix permissions, hex encoding obfuscation
• Files Modified: 5 files (+233, -65 lines, net +168)
• Issues Fixed:
  • Infinite recursion in KeyringTokenStorage trait implementation
  • Runtime compatibility (multi-threaded tokio runtime)
  • Method resolution conflicts (inherent methods shadowing trait)
  • Linux keyring bug (credentials not persisting across Entry objects)
• Performance: <200μs per token operation (async file I/O)
• Storage Location: ~/.config/foxhunt-tli/tokens/
• Production Status: ✅ READY (development/internal), ⚠️ ADD ENCRYPTION (production trading)
• Documentation: WAVE_154_FINAL_SUMMARY.md (comprehensive 600+ line report)

What's Needed:

• ⏳ Execute GPU benchmark (30-60 min) to get empirical training timeline
• ⏳ Run MAMBA-2 training validation test to verify shape bug fix
• Download 90 days ES/NQ/ZN/6E data (~$2, 180K bars)
• 4-6 weeks ML training decision based on benchmark results

Recent Fixes (Wave 206):

• ✅ MAMBA-2 shape mismatch bug fixed (B/C matrices now use d_inner)
• ✅ F32→F64 dtype migration for numerical stability
• ✅ Training scripts consolidated (train_mamba2_dbn.rs is primary)

🚀 Next Priorities

Priority 1: ML Model Training & Strategy Development (4-6 weeks)

Immediate (After benchmark results):

1. ML Model Training (timeline determined by benchmark):

   • Download 90 days ES/NQ/ZN/6E data (~$2, 180K bars)
   • Week 1: Data prep + feature engineering (50+ indicators)
   • Week 2: MAMBA-2 training (100-400 GPU hours)
   • Week 3: DQN + PPO training (3-4 days each)
   • Week 4: TFT training (5-7 days)
   • Week 5-6: Integration + validation
   • Expected Outcome: 55%+ win rate, Sharpe > 1.5
   • Decision: Based on GPU benchmark results (local vs cloud)

2. Strategy Backtesting:

   • Test moving_average_crossover with real ES.FUT data
   • Test adaptive_strategy regime detection with real markets
   • Validate performance metrics (Sharpe, drawdown, PnL)
   • Document edge cases (gaps, outliers, volatility)

3. Expand Data Coverage:

   • Acquire multi-day datasets (30-90 days)
   • Add more symbols (GC, YM, additional futures)
   • Validate data quality across all symbols

Medium-term (2-4 weeks):

1. Test Coverage: 47% → >60%
2. Stress Testing: ✅ COMPLETE (14/14 chaos scenarios operational - Wave 2 Agent 18)
3. ML Model Validation: Test trained models with production data
4. Replace Mock Data: Convert E2E tests to use real DBN data

Long-term (1-3 months):

1. Production Deployment: Live paper trading integration
2. External Penetration Testing: Q4 2025 ($50K-$75K)
3. SOX/MiFID II Audit: Q1 2026
4. Multi-region Deployment: Global load balancing

🔒 Security Best Practices

Development

• ✅ All .env files gitignored
• ✅ No hardcoded credentials
• ✅ API keys from environment variables

Production

• Use Vault for all secrets (not env vars)
• Enable MFA for critical operations
• Rotate JWT secrets regularly
• Use TLS for all gRPC communication
• Enable audit logging
