# Enhanced Multi-Modal Trading Architecture Guide ## Overview This document describes the enhanced multi-modal trading system that implements sophisticated decision-making through coordinated CNN and RL modules. The system is designed to handle multi-timeframe analysis across multiple symbols (ETH, BTC) with continuous learning capabilities. ## Architecture Components ### 1. Enhanced Trading Orchestrator (`core/enhanced_orchestrator.py`) The heart of the system that coordinates all components: **Key Features:** - **Multi-Symbol Coordination**: Makes decisions across ETH and BTC considering correlations - **Timeframe Integration**: Combines predictions from multiple timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1d) - **Perfect Move Marking**: Identifies and marks optimal trading decisions for CNN training - **RL Evaluation Loop**: Evaluates trading outcomes to train RL agents **Data Structures:** ```python @dataclass class TimeframePrediction: timeframe: str action: str # 'BUY', 'SELL', 'HOLD' confidence: float # 0.0 to 1.0 probabilities: Dict[str, float] timestamp: datetime market_features: Dict[str, float] @dataclass class TradingAction: symbol: str action: str quantity: float confidence: float price: float timestamp: datetime reasoning: Dict[str, Any] timeframe_analysis: List[TimeframePrediction] ``` **Decision Making Process:** 1. Gather market states for all symbols and timeframes 2. Get CNN predictions for each timeframe with confidence scores 3. Combine timeframe predictions using weighted averaging 4. Consider symbol correlations (ETH-BTC correlation ~0.85) 5. Apply confidence thresholds and risk management 6. Generate coordinated trading decisions 7. Queue actions for RL evaluation ### 2. Enhanced CNN Trainer (`training/enhanced_cnn_trainer.py`) Implements supervised learning on marked perfect moves: **Key Features:** - **Perfect Move Dataset**: Trains on historically optimal decisions - **Timeframe-Specific Heads**: Separate prediction heads for each timeframe - **Confidence Prediction**: Predicts both action and confidence simultaneously - **Multi-Loss Training**: Combines action classification and confidence regression **Network Architecture:** ```python # Convolutional feature extraction Conv1D(features=5, filters=64, kernel=3) -> BatchNorm -> ReLU -> Dropout Conv1D(filters=128, kernel=3) -> BatchNorm -> ReLU -> Dropout Conv1D(filters=256, kernel=3) -> BatchNorm -> ReLU -> Dropout AdaptiveAvgPool1d(1) # Global average pooling # Timeframe-specific heads for each timeframe: Linear(256 -> 128) -> ReLU -> Dropout Linear(128 -> 64) -> ReLU -> Dropout # Action prediction Linear(64 -> 3) # BUY, HOLD, SELL # Confidence prediction Linear(64 -> 32) -> ReLU -> Linear(32 -> 1) -> Sigmoid ``` **Training Process:** 1. Collect perfect moves from orchestrator with known outcomes 2. Create dataset with features, optimal actions, and target confidence 3. Train with combined loss: `action_loss + 0.5 * confidence_loss` 4. Use early stopping and model checkpointing 5. Generate comprehensive training reports and visualizations ### 3. Enhanced RL Trainer (`training/enhanced_rl_trainer.py`) Implements continuous learning from trading evaluations: **Key Features:** - **Prioritized Experience Replay**: Learns from important experiences first - **Market Regime Adaptation**: Adjusts confidence based on market conditions - **Multi-Symbol Agents**: Separate RL agents for each trading symbol - **Double DQN Architecture**: Reduces overestimation bias **Agent Architecture:** ```python # Main Network Linear(state_size -> 256) -> ReLU -> Dropout Linear(256 -> 256) -> ReLU -> Dropout Linear(256 -> 128) -> ReLU -> Dropout # Dueling heads value_head = Linear(128 -> 1) advantage_head = Linear(128 -> action_space) # Q-values = V(s) + A(s,a) - mean(A(s,a)) ``` **Learning Process:** 1. Store trading experiences with TD-error priorities 2. Sample batches using prioritized replay 3. Train with Double DQN to reduce overestimation 4. Update target networks periodically 5. Adapt exploration (epsilon) based on market regime stability ### 4. Market State and Feature Engineering **Market State Components:** ```python @dataclass class MarketState: symbol: str timestamp: datetime prices: Dict[str, float] # {timeframe: price} features: Dict[str, np.ndarray] # {timeframe: feature_matrix} volatility: float volume: float trend_strength: float market_regime: str # 'trending', 'ranging', 'volatile' ``` **Feature Engineering:** - **OHLCV Data**: Open, High, Low, Close, Volume for each timeframe - **Technical Indicators**: RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, etc. - **Market Regime Detection**: Automatic classification of market conditions - **Volatility Analysis**: Real-time volatility calculations - **Volume Analysis**: Volume ratio compared to historical averages ## System Workflow ### 1. Initialization Phase ```python # Load configuration config = get_config('config.yaml') # Initialize components data_provider = DataProvider(config) orchestrator = EnhancedTradingOrchestrator(data_provider) cnn_trainer = EnhancedCNNTrainer(config, orchestrator) rl_trainer = EnhancedRLTrainer(config, orchestrator) # Load existing models or create new ones models = initialize_models(load_existing=True) register_models_with_orchestrator(models) ``` ### 2. Trading Loop ```python while running: # 1. Gather market data for all symbols and timeframes market_states = await get_all_market_states() # 2. Generate CNN predictions for each timeframe for symbol in symbols: for timeframe in timeframes: prediction = cnn_model.predict_timeframe(features, timeframe) # 3. Combine timeframe predictions with weights combined_prediction = combine_timeframe_predictions(predictions) # 4. Consider symbol correlations coordinated_decision = coordinate_symbols(predictions, correlations) # 5. Apply confidence thresholds and risk management final_decision = apply_risk_management(coordinated_decision) # 6. Execute trades (or log decisions) execute_trading_decision(final_decision) # 7. Queue for RL evaluation queue_for_rl_evaluation(final_decision, market_state) ``` ### 3. Continuous Learning Loop ```python # RL Learning (every hour) async def rl_learning_loop(): while running: # Evaluate past trading actions await evaluate_trading_outcomes() # Train RL agents on new experiences for symbol, agent in rl_agents.items(): agent.replay() # Learn from prioritized experiences # Adapt to market regime changes adapt_to_market_conditions() await asyncio.sleep(3600) # Wait 1 hour # CNN Learning (every 6 hours) async def cnn_learning_loop(): while running: # Check for sufficient perfect moves perfect_moves = get_perfect_moves_for_training() if len(perfect_moves) >= 200: # Train CNN on perfect moves training_report = train_cnn_on_perfect_moves(perfect_moves) # Update registered model update_model_registry(trained_model) await asyncio.sleep(6 * 3600) # Wait 6 hours ``` ## Key Algorithms ### 1. Timeframe Prediction Combination ```python def combine_timeframe_predictions(timeframe_predictions, symbol): action_scores = {'BUY': 0.0, 'SELL': 0.0, 'HOLD': 0.0} total_weight = 0.0 timeframe_weights = { '1m': 0.05, '5m': 0.10, '15m': 0.15, '1h': 0.25, '4h': 0.25, '1d': 0.20 } for pred in timeframe_predictions: weight = timeframe_weights[pred.timeframe] * pred.confidence action_scores[pred.action] += weight total_weight += weight # Normalize and select best action best_action = max(action_scores, key=action_scores.get) confidence = action_scores[best_action] / total_weight return best_action, confidence ``` ### 2. Perfect Move Marking ```python def mark_perfect_move(action, initial_state, final_state, reward): # Determine optimal action based on outcome if reward > 0.02: # Significant positive outcome optimal_action = action.action # Action was correct optimal_confidence = min(0.95, abs(reward) * 10) elif reward < -0.02: # Significant negative outcome optimal_action = opposite_action(action.action) # Should have done opposite optimal_confidence = min(0.95, abs(reward) * 10) else: # Neutral outcome optimal_action = 'HOLD' # Should have held optimal_confidence = 0.3 # Create perfect move for CNN training perfect_move = PerfectMove( symbol=action.symbol, timeframe=timeframe, timestamp=action.timestamp, optimal_action=optimal_action, confidence_should_have_been=optimal_confidence, market_state_before=initial_state, market_state_after=final_state, actual_outcome=reward ) return perfect_move ``` ### 3. RL Reward Calculation ```python def calculate_reward(action, price_change, confidence): base_reward = 0.0 # Reward based on action correctness if action == 'BUY' and price_change > 0: base_reward = price_change * 10 # Reward proportional to gain elif action == 'SELL' and price_change < 0: base_reward = abs(price_change) * 10 # Reward for avoiding loss elif action == 'HOLD': if abs(price_change) < 0.005: # Correct hold base_reward = 0.01 else: # Missed opportunity base_reward = -0.01 else: base_reward = -abs(price_change) * 5 # Penalty for wrong actions # Scale by confidence confidence_multiplier = 0.5 + confidence # 0.5 to 1.5 range return base_reward * confidence_multiplier ``` ## Configuration and Deployment ### 1. Running the System ```bash # Basic trading mode python enhanced_trading_main.py --mode trade # Training only mode python enhanced_trading_main.py --mode train # Fresh start without loading existing models python enhanced_trading_main.py --mode trade --no-load-models # Custom configuration python enhanced_trading_main.py --config custom_config.yaml ``` ### 2.
