- Real-time validation of training process
- Early detection of training issues
- Feature importance analysis
- Model performance comparison
- Historical training progress tracking
Note: TensorBoard integration is currently deprioritized in favor of system stability and core model improvements. It will be activated once the core training system is stable and performing optimally.
Conclusion
This design document outlines the architecture, components, data flow, and implementation details for the Multi-Modal Trading System. The system is designed to be modular, extensible, and robust, with a focus on performance, reliability, and user experience.
The implementation will follow a phased approach, with each phase building on the previous one. The system will be thoroughly tested at each phase to ensure that it meets the requirements and performs as expected.
The final system will provide traders with a powerful tool for analyzing market data, identifying trading opportunities, and executing trades with confidence.
