📊 Metric Dimensions

Labels Used:

• model_id: DQN, PPO, MAMBA-2, TFT, TLOB
• symbol: ES.FUT, NQ.FUT, ZN.FUT, 6E.FUT, etc.
• action: buy, sell, hold
• reason: risk_limit, insufficient_margin, invalid_price, market_closed
• threshold: 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 (disagreement levels)

Cardinality:

• 5 models × 10 symbols × 3 actions = 150 time series (predictions)
• 5 models × 10 symbols = 50 time series (orders)
• 5 models = 5 time series (performance metrics)
• 10 symbols = 10 time series (ensemble metrics)

Total: ~215 base time series + ~50 derived = ~265 time series
