🚀 RECENT FIXES IMPLEMENTED

Signal Generation Issues - RESOLVED

Problem: No trade signals were being generated (DQN model should generate random signals when untrained)

Root Cause Analysis:

• Dashboard had no continuous signal generation loop
• DQN agent wasn't initialized properly for exploration
• Missing connection between orchestrator and dashboard signal flow

Solutions Implemented:

1. Added Continuous Signal Generation Loop (_start_signal_generation_loop())

   • Runs every 10 seconds generating DQN and momentum signals
   • Automatically initializes DQN agent if not available
   • Ensures both ETH/USDT and BTC/USDT get signals

2. Enhanced DQN Signal Generation (_generate_dqn_signal())

   • Proper epsilon-greedy exploration (starts at ε=0.3)
   • Creates realistic state vectors from market data
   • Generates BUY/SELL signals with confidence tracking

3. Backup Momentum Signal Generator (_generate_momentum_signal())

   • Simple momentum-based signals as fallback
   • Random signal injection for demo activity
   • Technical analysis using 3-period and 5-period momentum

4. Real-time Training Loop (_train_dqn_on_signal())

   • DQN learns from its own signal generation
   • Synthetic reward calculation based on price movement
   • Continuous experience replay when batch size reached

Model Loading and Loss Tracking - ENHANCED

    }
}

• Input Shape: (900, 50) - 900 timesteps (1s bars), 50 features per timestep
• Output: 10-class pivot classification + price prediction + confidence estimation

Training Pipeline:

# Automatic Pivot Detection and Training
pivot_points = self._detect_historical_pivot_points(df, window=10)
training_cases = []

for pivot in pivot_points:
    if pivot['strength'] > 0.7:  # High-confidence pivots only
        feature_matrix = self._create_cnn_feature_matrix(context_data)
        perfect_move = self._create_extrema_perfect_move(pivot)
        training_cases.append({
            'features': feature_matrix,
            'optimal_action': pivot['type'],  # 'TOP', 'BOTTOM', 'BREAKOUT'
            'confidence_target': pivot['strength'],

        # 1. Collect all model predictions
        cnn_prediction = self._get_cnn_prediction(symbol)
        rl_prediction = self._get_rl_prediction(symbol) 
        cob_prediction = self._get_cob_rl_prediction(symbol)
        
        # 2. Neural fusion of predictions
        features = self._prepare_features(market_context)
        outputs = self.fusion_network(features)
        
        # 3. Enhanced decision with position management
        return self._make_position_aware_decision(outputs)

Regular Prediction	1.0×	-	1.0×
3 Confident Signals	1.0×	-	1.0×
Actual Trade Execution	1.0×	10.0×	10.0×
Post-Trade Analysis	1.0×	10.0× + P&L amplification	15.0×

P&L-Aware Loss Cutting System:

def calculate_enhanced_training_weight(trade_outcome):
    base_weight = 1.0
    
    if trade_executed:
        base_weight *= 10.0  # Trade execution multiplier
        
        if pnl_ratio < -0.02:  # Loss > 2%
            base_weight *= 1.5  # Extra focus on loss prevention
            
        if position_duration > 3600:  # Held > 1 hour
            base_weight *= 0.8  # Reduce weight for stale positions
            
    return base_weight
