Live signals.db review (2026-09-04 → 09-25, 100 unique setups replayed on the
scans' stored candles): the stop-hunt claim is refuted (71% of stop-outs ran
≥ 1R past the stop, the same as the books' 70–72%); −25.1R of the −37.8R raw
live book were consecutive-bar re-entries the backtester's 5-bar cooldown never
takes; the cooldown view sits at the 3rd–5th percentile of the books' three-week
windows.
Delivery (book-neutral):
- telegram_bot: 5-bar alert cooldown per timeframe (_ALERT_COOLDOWN_BARS =
backtest.cooldown_bars); setup block prints the trail first as the tested
exit, TP1/TP2 as guides with their R, "Planned TP1 RR", and one validated-book
line per setup class (agent_panel_base_rates.json); the informational 100-pip
TP line is removed (owner request).
- AI block rewritten for a new trader: "AI check: the odds look better than /
worse than / about usual", the chance "in 100" against the usual odds, one
reason for and one against, no verdict word or confidence figure; rendered
whenever the verdict carries a probability. agent_panel: persona prompts ban
trading jargon (PANEL_PROMPT_VERSION v2.1-2026-09-26); the macro-source
verdict now carries its persona's p_win (every live v2 row had
panel_probability NULL). Dashboard and guides mirror the wording.
- telegram_bot: level-breach rescans skip the settlement-pause window (the
20:45 M15 bar was re-logged at 22:01/22:06/22:11 every evening).
Signal (pre-registered rule-1 campaign, CUDA twin paired with gpu_backtest.py):
- M15 grade-A SELLs blocked (sell_min_quality ["A+","B"], M15 override 6):
W2 813/+154.15R PF 1.53 vs 931/+146.14R PF 1.43, OOS +68.5 vs +60.67,
W3 max DD 20.9 vs 19.3R. PASSED a–f.
- Printed target 1 floored at 1R in every generator (signals.tp_print_floor_rr),
applied AFTER the min-RR and spread gates so no trade changes; mirrored in
cuda_signal_kernels.py K2. Label-only re-pin of all four timeframes (only
tp1/rr_planned columns move). A floor applied before the gate cost −24.6R and
was rejected.
- FAILED: M15 min_rr_ratio 1.0 (trade-identical, −2.0R). Owner's call: M5
tp_floor_rr 1.0 (+48.9R W2, max DD 10.1 → 15.9R), not shipped.
New pins: M5 W2 e599c8a8…, M15 W2 5b65ecf6…, M15 OOS 09b8a8e7…, H1 W3
a44fd19b…, H4 W3 f3587bae…; twin and reference MD5s equal on every window.
Base-rate table rebuilt from the new pins. Suite 558 passed.
Evidence: backtest/research/rr_and_sell_campaign_2026-09-26.md (plus the
2026-09-18 loss-anatomy and wrong-direction reports it builds on).

Agent panel v2: personas return p_win anchored to the book base rates with a
code-computed decision context; verdict = equal-weight mean (verdict_source
"mean"); only the macro persona runs live (agent_panel.personas ["macro"]);
prompt version and exact payloads logged; offline replay harness
scripts/panel_replay.py; base-rate table agent_panel_base_rates.json
(scripts/build_panel_base_rates.py). Backtester `strategy` column now carries
the generator's own stamp (label-only; five reference books re-pinned, all
62 other columns identical).
News corpus (after evaluating the owner's ML-NEWS scikit model against
DeepSeek: golden set 39/78 vs 78/78, out-of-sample agreement 64% against a
90% self-agreement ceiling; verdict: fallback only, not a replacement):
- NewsSentiment.xau_score + archive column xau_score keep DeepSeek's gold
score for every headline (930 of the first 1,546 DeepSeek rows had none);
an existing newsdata.db gains the column in place on first open
- headlines naming no tracked currency are scored and archived
(currencies_json []) but never returned to the platform
- _apply_llm_sentiment sends every new headline in its cycle, 25 per call;
a failed call ends the cycle's sending
Dashboard publisher never writes a database: main() calls
app_config.set_db_writes_for_process(False), honoured by signal_log_enabled()
and news_archive_enabled() (owner decision: the bot is the single writer).
Test suite: the hermetic app config now points both writers at a
suite-private temp dir — the RSS fixture tests were writing fixture
headlines into the real logs/newsdata.db — with a Module 32 test pinning it.
529 tests.
