- Delete back-compat shims data_provider.py / oanda_provider.py;
test_all.py now imports providers.* directly (ForexDataProvider name
retired; the two shim-only tests removed, 268 -> 266 tests)
- Delete backtest/research/calendar_store.py (no importer, no entry
point); config.py audit comment reworded
- Delete executed plan doc (2026-07-21 centralized-config) and the two
unbuildable guide PDFs; HTML guides remain the source of truth
- OANDA_MIGRATION_ROADMAP.md status header corrected: phases 1-2
shipped 2026-07-28, feed is live on Oanda; phases 3-6 still unbuilt
- Branches deleted locally + on both remotes: oanda_demo (merged),
web-dashboard, eurusd-modular, reversal-exit-alert (owner-approved
permanent deletion); July stash dropped

Gate 6h (big-candle entry gate): blocks all XAU entries (core, XAU_PB,
XAU_CP) when the primary TF's last 24h contains a bar with range >= K x
prior-bar ATR. Ships default-OFF: validation rejected every threshold
(K 3-6 on M5/M15 12mo) — removed trades were net-POSITIVE at every cell;
M5 quiet-window trades are the only losing bucket. Config knobs
big_candle_atr_multiple/lookback_hours, --big-candle backtest flag,
Module 17 tests.
M5 relaxation SHIPPED (validated 2026-07-30, Oanda bars, $0.30 spread):
m5_min_abs_score 30->25, m5_min_confirmation_score 10->5, hour-21 UTC
unblocked M5-only. Beats control in ALL 6 calendar years of the 5yr
replay (+230.9R/2319 PF 1.26 DD 21.3 vs +168.0R/2048 PF 1.21 DD 27.0),
12mo +107.4R PF 1.36 vs +84.6R PF 1.33, OOS +26.1R vs +17.2R, $0.70
spread +86.9R vs +66.4R. M15: every relaxation retested negative —
config unchanged. Declined-but-open: M5 hour-22 block, M15 hour-16
unblock (both fail 5yr/OOS). Evidence in the factory docstring.
Tooling: generic --set PATH=JSON research override in gpu_backtest

config.json.example: data_providers.active = "oanda" (credentials stay
in env/.env or the top-level oanda block; TD and Tiingo remain
registered fallbacks). Backtest parquet cache is now keyed per provider
— Oanda and TD bars diverge (2026-07-24 study), so a feed switch must
never serve another feed's cached bars; twelve_data keeps the legacy
un-prefixed filename so pinned-book caches stay valid. 254 tests green;
live smoke-tested against the practice API (66 contract checks: all
scanned TFs, boundary/freshness guarantees, real spread $0.71,
fetch_range pagination, typed error paths, CLI + backtest end-to-end).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Mc7XKYyPySVXiUpcN82QEK
One class per provider (TwelveData, Oanda, Tiingo), all subclassing
BaseDataProvider which owns cache, validation/cleaning, freshness +
boundary guarantees, fetch_range pagination, and streaming stubs —
subclasses implement only _fetch_raw. config.json data_providers.active
selects the live feed; data_provider.py / oanda_provider.py stay as
back-compat shims. Module 16 provider-abstraction tests (253 total green).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Mc7XKYyPySVXiUpcN82QEK
New independent trading daemon (oanda_daemon.py) that places orders on
an Oanda v20 practice account instead of sending Telegram alerts.
Oanda-only market data (oanda_provider.py, mid candles + real bid/ask
spread) through the unchanged signal pipeline; order execution and
trade management via oanda_executor.py (raw requests, no new deps).
Book parity with the backtester: no broker-side TP (exits = SL/TRAIL/
TIMEOUT only), bar-close-only trail ratchet with each closed bar
processed exactly once, 5-bar per-TF entry cooldown, structural SL
from the setup. Accepted divergence: one position total (skipped
signals logged for book reconciliation).
Safety/ops: fail-fast boot on rejected credentials (transient outages
continue), market orders never retried (double-fill risk), entry lock
against aligned-boundary races, restart recovery + adoption via
oanda_state.json, hourly heartbeat, asyncio exception handler, every
failure path logged. Prices formatted at instrument precision.
Config: env OANDA_* -> config.json "oanda" section (validated in
app_config). Tests: Module 15 (30 tests), suite 240 green.

format_signal_message restyled (display-only, zero signal-logic impact):
verdict header first (signal - pair - TF - quality), trade setup moved
above the detail, per-indicator breakdown condensed to one arrow line
(_indicator_summary), heavy dividers dropped. New TP 100p line in every
setup block: entry +/- 100 pips ($10.00 on XAU) with its R-multiple vs
the stop (_INFO_TP_PIPS, formatter-only - not stamped on TradeSetup,
not in CLI/JSON/backtester). Trailing-plan logic unchanged (stamped
per-TF params, pullback fallback). Removed dead _indicator_line and
_SIGNAL_TAG. Tests 210 -> 212 (100p TP math BUY/SELL/no-setup, one-line
indicator summary).

Tiingo's free /tiingo/fx/top publishes only a two-tier indicative
spread for gold ($0.10 liquid hours / $0.70 rollover+news; verified on
273 production samples + live probes) — mid ± a posted increment, not
executable depth, so it can never validate the $0.30 backtest cost
assumption. Removed one day after shipping: tiingo_provider.py, the
sampler/quote plumbing in telegram_bot.py, the channel_spread_detail
config knob and tiingo_api_key resolver, and Module 14's Tiingo tests
(221 -> 210). CLAUDE.md documents the verdict: do not re-add a spread
display from Tiingo's free FX feed.

Five-agent audit of the signal path; all fixes are delivery/measurement
side. Regression-proven behavior-neutral on validated signals: the 5yr
M15 replay reproduces the pinned book exactly (+210.65R PF 1.35
WR 57.8% MaxDD 33.90R). Tests 215 -> 221.
- TradeSetup carries trail_arm_r/trail_dist_r stamped from the producing
config; Telegram trail plan reads them (was showing default 0.6/0.75
instead of the validated M15 arm 0.70 / M5 dist 0.85)
- Alert dedup: fingerprint = (signal, quality, direction); entry movement
compared against last-ALERTED entry/risk (old SL-dist bucket churned on
ATR drift -> near-duplicate alerts every candle)
- Fresh fetches enforce the closed-bar boundary check with one 3s grace
retry, then warn (feed lag no longer silently analyzes the prior bar)
- Backtest max DD includes the zero baseline (opening losing streaks
were undercounted; pinned M15 DD unchanged)
- Replay loads the regime-filter TF when the H4-ADX gate is on (was a
silent no-op for M5/M15 primaries)
- clear_cache under _cache_lock; dead ROC zero-cross branches removed
from both engines (provably unreachable); RSS dates via
parsedate_to_datetime (named zones no longer stamped UTC); event risk
grades from the soonest event; .env inline comments stripped;
auto-scan skips NEUTRAL like the breach path; report_to_dict honors
the weight-0 skip rule and emits strategy/trail params; PB funnel
counts spread_gate/accepted; session-filter fail-open paths log loudly
- Docs corrected to match validated code (H&S neckline = lower peak,
exhaustion anchors farthest tracked swing) with re-validation warnings

Same-day sibling of the M15 campaign, opposite finding: on M5 the arm
point barely matters — winners need a looser leash. 5yr grid plateau
arm 0.5-0.7 x dist 0.85-1.0; shipped the OOS-preferred edge 0.60/0.85:
+231.2R PF 1.30 vs +218.0R PF 1.29 baseline, both halves better, DD
flat (19.2 vs 19.1), OOS +14.5R vs +11.1R. dist 1.0 rejected at the
OOS gate despite best in-sample total. XAU_PB pb_trail unaffected.
Factory replay reproduces the grid cell; 201/201 tests.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01VPNF37MP9Kuv62B1VBrZ1b
Parity: replay now applies the live _apply_regime_filter_live method
under the live guard (function-identity, default-off); unregistered-pair
fallback applies the config.json overlay; parity sweep gains direct
ATR/vol-regime assertions; regime-filter semantics test added.
Trail campaign: --trail-arm/--trail-dist research flags; 30-cell grid on
5yr M15 refuted the earlier-arm hypothesis and found the 0.70-0.80 arm
plateau. Shipped M15-only trail_arm_r=0.70 (factory override):
+210.7R PF 1.35 WR 57.8% vs +175.7R PF 1.30 WR 53.9% baseline; both
halves and 2024-06->2025-03 OOS better (+57.4 vs +45.4); 5yr max-DD
clause (33.9R vs 29.1R) explicitly waived by owner. M5 unchanged.
Factory replay reproduces the grid cell trade-for-trade; 201/201 tests.

- Delete test_ws_dual.py (standalone probe, unused) and a stale tracked log
- config.py: drop MarketSession enum, is_jpy_pair, candle_buffer_seconds,
and the never-read legacy SignalConfig/XauStrategyConfig fields
- data_provider.py: drop uncalled get_latest_price/get_spread_estimate
- Remove unused imports (engine, telegram_bot, main, news_engine)
- test_all.py: drop/trim the corresponding defaults assertions (199 tests)
- CLAUDE.md updated to match
Zero behavior change: no production code read any removed field

- Credentials, alert quality, scan pairs/timeframes, log level and
candle-loop intervals now resolve via app_config (env -> config.json
-> code default) instead of hardcoded fallbacks.
- _get_shared_dp() uses make_data_provider() for provider-registry
dispatch.
- main() refuses to start without a token/chat_id, raising SystemExit
with an actionable message instead of a bare sys.exit string.
- test_all.py Module 13: two new tests covering credential/quality/
loop wiring via a reload, and the startup guard.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01VPNF37MP9Kuv62B1VBrZ1b
Resolves the Twelve Data API key through app_config.provider_api_key()
(env → config.json → no default) instead of a hardcoded field on
PlatformConfig. Adds data_provider.PROVIDER_REGISTRY + make_data_provider()
so signal_aggregator and the backtester build the active provider through
one seam; telegram_bot.py gets the same one-line WS-key fix now (per Task 4's
already-planned edit for that line) so the suite doesn't crash on import
between this commit and Task 4's full wiring pass.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01VPNF37MP9Kuv62B1VBrZ1b
Implements Task 2: apply_pair_overrides in xauusd.make_config before
the validated per-TF deltas, so e.g. M5 hour-9 appends on top of the
JSON base. Updated Module 9 equivalence test and added three parity pins.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01VPNF37MP9Kuv62B1VBrZ1b
Add NewsConfig.sentiment_affects_signals (default False), gating the +5
aligned-sentiment confidence bonus and the 10-pt news_conflict penalty.
With event_risk_caps_signals already False, live decisions are now pure
technical, matching the backtester (use_news=False). Warnings and the
sentiment display are unchanged. Adds a gating regression test.

M5 factory: cp_enabled=True, patterns limited to inv_hs, double_bottom,
bull_flag. SELL CP lost -3.21R on OOS; BUY CP: +41.8R PF 1.60 on 12mo,

M15/H1 remain disabled — all failed OOS validation.

Third entry archetype: completion of classical chart patterns (double
bottom/top, H&S top / inverse H&S, bull/bear flag) — the tight canon
with the strongest documented stats. New chart_patterns.py detector
module (pure functions, ATR-unit geometry, closed-bar slices only,
first-close-beyond trigger discipline so a breakout fires exactly
once and never repaints).
Pipeline step 10 in analyze_from_dataframes: fills only empty setup
slots, allows weak-composite F grades (normal at reversal completion)
but inherits session/day blocks, mirrors MTF-opposition + SELL
vol/hour + M5 protections. Geometry: SL = pattern anchor -/+ 0.5 ATR
(min $8), TP1 = measured move, $9 spread gate, trailing exit does the
real work. Strategy tag XAU_CP.
cp_enabled defaults to False everywhere — per-TF adoption happens in
pair_signals/xauusd.py only after the standard validation rule passes.
Backtester: --cp / --cp-patterns flags to test the candidate, XAU_CP
tag recognition.
Suite: 183/183 (21 new tests: detectors, trigger discipline,
invalidation, gates, pipeline, default-off safety).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015kby7M9JwpYi8NQT2yoxAi
Fixes all high+medium findings from the 2026-07-16 full-codebase audit.
High:
- data_provider: cache now rejects snapshots missing the latest closed
bar (_has_latest_closed_bar, weekend-exempt). The wall-clock TTL served
mid-candle snapshots at the next boundary, so live M15/H1 scans ran one
full bar behind and the bar-close session check evaluated the wrong hour.
- signal_aggregator: gate 6e (SELL quality) only acts on actionable
grades. It was re-grading session-blocked F reports to D, which
re-opened the M5 pullback path (entry check: quality != "F") on
session-blocked bars.
- gpu_backtest: port the live EMA-ribbon compression/expansion logic
(+10 conf on expansion) into the GPU engine. Its absence diverged
composite score/conf on 7-9% of bars and flipped signals on ~0.2%.
Medium:
- gpu_backtest: Bollinger precompute uses the exact pandas rolling calls
(cumsum E[x2]-E[x]2 lost precision at gold price levels; bb_position
error up to 7.6e-3 crossed signal thresholds, worst during squeezes).
- gpu_backtest: --confirm-tfs defaults to the pair factory's live
confirmation map instead of a hardcoded 1h,4h.
- gpu_backtest: entries re-anchor to the first RAW bar after the signal
bar, so >10-sigma spike bars dropped by cleaning are no longer skipped
at entry (favorable bias).
- gpu_backtest: per-TF warmup pad — D1 confirms get >=210 bars at window
start (62-day pad gave ~61 bars: no EMA200, unlike live).
- data_provider: thread-safety locks for cache + throttle (shared
provider across the bot's 4-thread pool); outlier filter keeps the
snap-back bar after a spike instead of punching a two-bar hole.
- telegram_bot: alert fingerprint gains a risk-relative entry bucket
(materially-moved setups re-alert) and is committed only after a
successful send (failed sends no longer consume the alert for 1h).
- engine: disabled_indicators=["macd"] now removes the MACD pillar from
scoring (histogram still computed for divergence).
Verification: test_all.py 187/187 (new Module 11: 8 audit-fix
regressions incl. a live-vs-GPU parity sweep with ribbon coverage);
real-data parity sweep over 813 slices of 14mo XAU M15: zero divergence
(pre-fix: 7-9% of bars diverged); both original bug repros no longer
reproduce; cached end-to-end backtest run passes with the live confirm
map. Books shift slightly vs pre-fix runs — comparability note added to
CLAUDE.md; pinned tuned numbers need re-validation under the fixed
backtester.
Fix 1 — mixed-"trending" regime (ADX strong, EMAs unaligned) was
hard-coded bullish in 5 sites: RSI reinterpretation used the uptrend
playbook (RSI 38-55 -> STRONG_BUY conf 75), BUY-only confidence
bonuses, BUY-only extension penalties, no counter-trend penalty.
Now: extremes-only RSI (as transitioning), no directional bonuses,
symmetric extension penalties. 6yr validation: H1 +67.2->+61.9R
(mixed skew 16B/11S -> 4B/7S), H4 +31.6->+27.5R (the 4 bias BUYs),
M15 +152.6->+154.7R, M5 +207.1->+206.1R with maxDD 28.7->24.3R.
The ~8R aggregate give-back is bull-market subsidy from the bug.
Fix 2 — live session filter now applies the EXACT replay-loop
predicate (session window + blocked hours on the signal bar's CLOSE
time, from the bar timestamp not wall clock). Replaces a wall-clock
filter gated on a "XAU STRATEGY" marker that no code writes, which
made live diverge from every validated book.
Fix 3 — delete dead _check_xau_oversold_bounce and
_generate_xau_trade_setup (unreachable; the latter hardcoded BUY and
skipped the spread/RR gates).
Backtester: parallel bar replay via forked workers (--workers,
default auto = cores-2 capped 12). Per-bar evaluation is pure; the
entry cooldown is applied in an ordered phase-2 pass. Proven
byte-identical to sequential on the same window; ~300 -> 1030-1680
bars/s (6yr M5: ~26min -> 5-8min). --workers 1 = sequential path.
Tests: 179 passed (new mixed-regime RSI regression test).
M15 mixed-"trending" regime block (ADX strong, EMAs unaligned =
momentum without direction): -6.8R/24 trades on 12mo, negative both
halves; blocking scores +65.7R/499 PF 1.38 DD 10.4R vs +59.0R/521
PF 1.32 DD 12.6R, better both halves, OOS 2024-06->2025-03 neutral
(-1.4R = the 4 such trades there). M5 never trades this regime.
New XauStrategyConfig.blocked_regimes / sell_blocked_regimes knobs
(default empty) + aggregator gate 6g2; M15 factory opts in.
M5 hour-9 UTC block (post-London-open whipsaw): -28.9R/143 over the
6-year book, negative 5/7 calendar years. Full-history replay with
block: +207.1R vs +178.3R, max DD 28.7R vs 35.5R, 2023 -13.0R ->
breakeven; tuned 12mo book unchanged (139.0 vs 139.3). Hour 9 is
positive on M15 (+1.7R 6yr, +8.6R OOS) so the block is factory
M5-only.
Rejected after validation (documented in xauusd.py + session memory):
transitioning-SELL block (bull-market artifact, +5.7R in 2024 OOS),
M15 trending_down block (M5 cross-TF contradiction), losing-streak
circuit breakers, 30d efficiency-ratio trend gate, and all entry-level
indicator filters (winners == losers at entry on every feature).
Full-history context (Twelve Data 5min starts 2020-03-16): M5 6.3yr
+207R PF ~1.3 post-fix with losing year 2021; M15 +152.6R PF 1.19
DD 49.7R — edge is regime-dependent, chop years are structural.
Tests: 178 passed (new gate test + factory-equivalence updates).
Finishes PENDING_STEPS Step 1 under the current trailing-exit model.
M15 window 2025-03-30->2026-05-31 ($0.30 spread): +116.6R/460 PF 1.83
vs +105.4R/424 PF 1.82 baseline, better in both halves; 2024-06->
2025-03 OOS +30.3R vs +10.6R control. Same knob on the pinned M5 book
is WORSE (+131.3R/699 vs +139.9R/547) so the override is M15-only in
the xauusd factory, per the pre-registered decision rule. M5 path
unchanged (factory override gated on primary_tf == M15).
Replaying the live danger/caution gates against the validated 12mo XAU
M5 book showed they suppress 25-35 trades worth +4.6..+7.2R/yr — trades
entered near USD releases outperform the book average (+0.475R vs
+0.256R). New NewsConfig.event_risk_caps_signals (default False =
XAU-tuned) keeps EVENT RISK warnings in alerts but no longer guts
confidence; EUR factory re-enables the caps (evidence is gold-specific).
Pinned XAU M5 regression: 547 trades, +139.94R, trade-identical.
Tests: 177 passed.
- telegram_bot: SCAN_PAIRS/_WS_TO_PAIR/SCAN_BUTTONS all derive from
PlatformConfig.scan_pairs (the single pair on/off switch); buttons and
keyboards are generated per pair; _run_signal_sync builds per-pair
configs via pair_signals factories (was: XAU defaults for any symbol);
scan-all works per pair; PB badge matches any *_PB tag; daily-rotating
file logs in logs/telegram.log (30-day retention)
- main.py: --pair argument (XAUUSD | EURUSD + aliases) routed through
pair_signals factories; price display is precision-aware (2dp gold,
5dp FX)
scan_pairs default stays [XAUUSD] until the EUR M5 re-tune validates.
Ported from feature/eurusd-support: PAIR_PRODUCERS registry with
make_config() factories per pair. xauusd.make_config is a pure
PlatformConfig-defaults wrapper (equality with the inline construction
is enforced by test); eurusd.make_config carries the donor branch's
regime weights and gates as a pre-realism baseline.
Adds 4 registry tests. 154/154 pass.
Ported from feature/eurusd-support (e6e09c5), pair-neutral fixes:
- _find_swing_points: all(<empty generator>) is vacuously True, so a value
surrounded by NaNs was reported as a swing point; now requires at least
one valid neighbor on each side
- ROC: guard against zero close at the lookback positions (inf scores)
- ADX: epsilon denominator instead of NaN-replace to avoid NaN cascade
Adds 8 regression tests (Module 9). 150/150 pass.
Improvements from a live-verified audit of the news/calendar pipeline:
- Currency tagging: keyword matching now uses letter-boundary regexes
and drops ambiguous "us "/"eu "/"uk " tokens — "versus" no longer
tags headlines as USD (confirmed live false positive polluting the
XAU/USD sentiment average).
- Fetch caching: calendar events and headlines are cached class-level
(10 min TTL, 60s retry after empty/failed fetch, lock-guarded for
concurrent scans). Stops per-scan refetching that was tripping the
Forex Factory rate limit; TTL stays under the 30-min pre-event
buffer so the danger window can't go stale.
- Surprise detection: EconomicEvent.surprise is computed from parsed
actual vs forecast (handles %, K/M/B/T suffixes, negatives). A
surprise print widens the post-release caution window to 45 min;
inline releases keep the original 15 min.
- Gold-aware sentiment: headlines are scored per currency, with
monetary-policy keywords (hawkish/rate hike/tightening vs dovish/
rate cut/easing/stimulus) inverted for XAU — "hawkish Fed" headlines
scored +1.0 for gold before, -1.0 now (verified on live feed).
- New sentiment sources: Google News gold-focused query and CNBC
Economy RSS (verified live; 40 → 74 unique headlines). Added
cross-feed title dedup so syndicated stories count once.
- events_today now buckets by UTC date (feed timestamps carry US-
Eastern offsets); --json output includes news_description.
- Removed dead NewsConfig.min_impact and unused HIGH_IMPACT_EVENTS.
Tests: 142 passed (7 new covering boundary matching, surprise
classification, post-event windows, cache reuse, gold inversion).
A/B on M15 2025-03-30→2026-05-31 with $0.30 spread + gap-through fills
(511 identical entries, only exits differ):
factor 0.8 / min_rr 0.4: +36.1R (avg +0.071R, SELL +1.2R)
factor 1.0 / min_rr 0.5: +66.8R (avg +0.131R, SELL +9.6R)
Worse in both train and validation halves and both directions. The 20%
tighter targets buy +1.8pt win rate but shrink every win while the fixed
spread stays constant. The knob remains for re-tuning with costs included.
Live pipeline:
- Drop still-forming candle before analysis (signals no longer repaint)
- Direction-aware MTF agreement + opposition gate (no trade against 2-of-3 TF consensus)
- SELL volatility gate: block shorts in low/normal vol regimes (config sell_vol_regimes)
- Divergence: 40-bar lookback, price/indicator swings must align within ±2 bars
(fired on 0.5% of trades before, 29% after), trending weight 2.0→1.0
- RSI regime_aware by default; transitioning regime only signals at extremes
- ADX ±DM tie no longer nudges bearish; TP2 clamped beyond TP1
Backtester realism:
- Charge $0.30 round-trip spread (--spread), gap-through SL/TP fills at bar open
- Resolve trades on RAW price path (cache stores raw bars, cleaning runs on load)
- Weekend/session filters use bar-close decision time to match live wall clock
Validated per-step on M15 2025-03-30→2026-05-31 under identical pricing:
+46.9R → +66.8R, win rate 69.9% → 73.0%, SELL side -2.3R → +9.6R.
Tested-and-reverted: ROC weight removal (-13R), BB fade suppression (-11.6R),
candlestick de-weight (-2R) — composite thresholds are co-tuned with weight mass.
M5 already broadcast through the shared _scan_timeframe path but was
documented as data-only (docstring, CLAUDE.md, DOCUMENTATION.md, plus a
phantom `if tf == M5: return` step that never existed in code). Align all
docs/comments so M5 alerting at C+ grade is the intended, documented behavior.
Remove the live dashboard entirely per request: the 30s refresh loop,
per-scan refresh, boot send, and the dashboard-only stats layer
(_signal_stats / _stats_updated / _update_signal_stats and its call sites,
_format_stats_dashboard and its helper constants). Drop now-unused ZoneInfo
import and dashboard mentions from help/autoscan/boot messages and the test
suite. The WebSocket level-breach monitor and level cache are untouched.
Tests: 136 passed, 0 failed.
The old `weekday() >= 5` check blocked all of Sunday, but the forex
market reopens Sunday 22:00 UTC (Sydney open). Now uses proper time-based
check so the bot fetches data and generates signals on Sunday evening.
