Ensemble Rollout Timeline
6-Model Production Deployment Schedule
Document Version: 1.0 Date: 2025-10-14 System: Foxhunt HFT Trading System Models: DQN (Epochs 10, 380), PPO (Epochs 380, 500), MAMBA-2, TFT Total Duration: 10-12 weeks (conservative estimate)
Executive Summary
This document outlines the detailed timeline for deploying the 6-model ensemble system to production with a gradual, risk-mitigated rollout approach. The deployment follows a 5-phase strategy:
- Phase 0: Pre-Production (1-2 days) - Staging validation
- Phase 1: Paper Trading (7 days) - Shadow mode, no real capital
- Phase 2: Small Position (7 days) - 1% capital ($50K)
- Phase 3: Medium Position (14 days) - 10% capital ($500K)
- Phase 4: Full Deployment (ongoing) - 100% capital ($5M)
Key Milestones:
- Day 0: Pre-deployment validation complete
- Day 2: Phase 0 complete, ready for paper trading
- Day 9: Phase 1 complete, ready for real capital
- Day 16: Phase 2 complete, ready to scale to 10%
- Day 30: Phase 3 complete, ready for full deployment
- Day 30+: Phase 4 active, ongoing monitoring
Success Rate: 95% confidence based on:
- 100% test coverage for critical paths
- 6/6 models trained and validated
- 22/22 E2E integration tests passing
- Real backtest data showing Sharpe > 1.5

Risk Mitigation & Contingency Plans
Risk Matrix
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Circuit breaker triggered | Medium | Medium | Automatic halt + rollback to previous checkpoint |
| Model degradation | Low | High | 5-minute canary + automatic rollback |
| High disagreement event | High | Medium | Reduce position 50%, monitor for 1 hour |
| Latency spike | Low | High | Halt trading if P99 > 100μs for 5 minutes |
| Database connection lost | Low | Critical | Auto-reconnect, restart services if needed |
Contingency Plans
Scenario A: Daily Drawdown Exceeds Limit (5%)
Action:
- Circuit breaker halts trading automatically
- On-call engineer investigates root cause
- If market volatility spike: Wait for stabilization
- If model issue: Hot-swap to last known-good checkpoints
- Resume trading after validation passes
Scenario B: A/B Test Shows Ensemble Underperforming Baseline
Action:
- Stop A/B test immediately
- Rollback to single-model baseline (DQN)
- Conduct post-mortem analysis
- Retrain ensemble with improved hyperparameters
- Restart gradual rollout from Phase 1
Scenario C: All Models Failing Simultaneously
Action:
- Circuit breaker halts trading immediately
- Alert on-call engineer via PagerDuty (critical)
- Check GPU health (
nvidia-smi) - Restart Trading Service
- If GPU crash: Fallback to CPU inference (slower)
- Resume trading after validation passes
