jgrusewski f707c86df2 feat(rl): amplify surfer reward shape — fewer-but-bigger trades
User explicit request: restore surfer philosophy. Previous wr=0.30 trend-
follower pattern was profitable but takes ~22k trades/run on lots of
small tail wins. Per surfer philosophy (pearl_surfer_philosophy_trading):
wait for the wave, ride it out, accept wipeouts.

Bootstrap changes (architectural fixes from prior commits preserved):
- ENTRY_COST: 15 → 40  (discourage low-conviction entries)
- SHORT_HOLD_MIN_STEPS: 100 → 200  (true wave timescale)
- SHORT_HOLD_PENALTY: 0.5 → 0.3  (harder penalty for quick exits)
- HOLD_BONUS: 2.0 → 4.0  (amplify sustained-ride rewards)
- MIN_HOLD_STEPS: 138 (γ-derived) → 300  (multi-minute holds)
- CONF_GATE_MAX_HOLD_FRAC: 0.85 → 0.95  (95% Hold = patient)
- THOMPSON_FLOOR: 0.05 → 0.02  (less random, more Q-driven)

Local smoke 1000 steps (b=128):
- wr peaked 0.61 at step 200 (vs 0.30 before)
- dones per step dropped to 1-7 (vs 17-40 before)
- PnL stays positive: $285k cumulative
- avg_hold growing toward 200+

Expected at scale: fewer trades, higher wr, dollar-positive after
realistic $0.82/side costs because each trade is bigger.

backtesting Replay engine, strategy tester
adaptive-strategy Ensemble execution, microstructure analysis
common Shared types, resilience, error handling
storage S3 and local model storage
model_loader Model serialization and loading
market-data Market data feed handlers
database PostgreSQL access layer (SQLx)
config Configuration management
tli CLI commands and tooling

Services (8)

Service Purpose
backtesting_service gRPC backtesting service
broker_gateway_service FIX routing, broker connectivity
trading_service Core trading operations
ml_training_service Model training orchestration
data_acquisition_service Market data acquisition
trading_agent_service Autonomous trading agents
api_gateway gRPC API gateway with auth

Frontend

web-dashboard/ -- React 19 + TypeScript + Vite + TradingView charts.

Building

# Check compilation (no PostgreSQL required)
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check --workspace

# Run tests for a specific crate
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p <crate> --lib

# Clippy
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo clippy --workspace

ML Models

Four production model architectures on Candle v0.9.1 with CUDA:

  • DQN Rainbow -- Deep Q-Network with prioritized replay, dueling heads, noisy nets
  • PPO -- Proximal Policy Optimization with GAE and LSTM policies
  • TFT -- Temporal Fusion Transformer for multi-horizon forecasting
  • Mamba2 -- State space model for sequence prediction

Each model has a standalone trainer and a UnifiedTrainable adapter for the hyperopt pipeline.

Infrastructure

  • Git: Gitea at git.fxhnt.ai (Tailscale-only), Scaleway DEV1-S
  • Observability: OpenTelemetry OTLP (env OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT)
  • Database: PostgreSQL with SQLx offline mode for CI
