# ANNOTATE Project Progress

##  Completed Tasks

### Task 1: Project Structure and Base Templates 
**Status**: Complete

**What was built**:
- Complete project structure in `/ANNOTATE` folder
- Flask/Dash application with template-based architecture
- All HTML in separate Jinja2 templates (NO inline HTML in Python)
- Dark theme CSS styling
- Client-side JavaScript modules (ChartManager, AnnotationManager, TimeNavigator, TrainingController)
- Component-based template structure

**Files created**:
```

```

### Task 2: Data Loading and Caching Layer 
**Status**: Complete

**What was built**:
- `HistoricalDataLoader` class that integrates with existing `DataProvider`
- `TimeRangeManager` for time navigation and prefetching
- Memory caching with TTL
- Multi-timeframe data loading
- Time range filtering
- Data boundary detection
- Prefetching for smooth scrolling

**Key Features**:
-  Uses the **same DataProvider** as training/inference systems
-  Ensures **data consistency** across annotation, training, and inference
-  Caches data for performance
-  Supports time-based navigation
-  Prefetches adjacent ranges for smooth UX

**Integration Points**:
```python
# The data loader wraps the existing DataProvider
data_loader = HistoricalDataLoader(data_provider)

# Uses cached data from DataProvider when available
df = data_loader.get_data('ETH/USDT', '1m', limit=500)

# Same data structure as training/inference
# DataFrame with OHLCV columns and datetime index
```

- Edit/delete functionality

## 🔧 Technical Details

### Data Consistency Strategy
The ANNOTATE system ensures data consistency by:

1. **Using Existing DataProvider**: No separate data fetching logic
2. **Leveraging Cached Data**: Uses DataProvider's cached_data when available
3. **Same Data Structure**: DataFrame with OHLCV columns
4. **Identical Timeframes**: Uses same timeframe definitions ('1s', '1m', '1h', '1d')
5. **Shared Configuration**: Uses main config.yaml

### Architecture Benefits
-  **No Data Duplication**: Single source of truth
-  **Consistent Quality**: Same data cleaning/validation
-  **Performance**: Leverages existing caching
-  **Maintainability**: Changes to DataProvider automatically propagate
-  **Testing**: Annotations use same data as models see

### Test Case Generation
When an annotation is created, the system will:
1. Capture full market state at entry/exit times
2. Extract OHLCV data for all timeframes
3. Include COB data if available
4. Add technical indicators
5. Generate test case in **realtime format** (identical to training test cases)

This ensures models can be trained on manually validated scenarios using the exact same data structure.

##  Running the Application

### Start the Server
```bash
python ANNOTATE/web/app.py
```

### Access the UI
Open browser to: http://127.0.0.1:8051

### Test Data Loading
```bash
python ANNOTATE/test_data_loader.py
```

## 📊 Integration with Main System

### Current Integration Points
1. **DataProvider**: Direct integration for historical data
2. **TradingOrchestrator**: Available for model access
3. **Config**: Uses main config.yaml
4. **Models**: Can load CNN, DQN, Transformer models

### Future Integration
The annotation system can be imported into the main dashboard:
```python
from ANNOTATE.core.annotation_manager import AnnotationManager
from ANNOTATE.core.training_simulator import TrainingSimulator

# Use in main system
annotation_mgr = AnnotationManager()
test_cases = annotation_mgr.get_test_cases()
```
