Real-Time Inference Guide

🎯 Overview

Real-time inference mode runs your trained model on live streaming data from the DataProvider, updating charts every second and displaying model predictions in real-time.

Step 1: Select Model

Choose the model you want to run from the dropdown in the training panel.

Step 2: Click "Start Live Inference"

• Button turns red: "Stop Inference"
• Live mode banner appears at top
• Charts begin updating every second
• Model predictions displayed

Visual Indicators

• 🔴 LIVE banner at top of page
• Green status box in training panel
• Update counter showing number of updates
• Signal markers on charts (🔵 BUY, 🔴 SELL)

📈 Monitoring Performance

Watch For

• Signal frequency - How often model signals
• Confidence levels - Higher is better (>70%)
• Signal accuracy - Do signals make sense?
• False positives - Signals that shouldn't happen

Good Signs

• ✅ Signals at key levels (support/resistance)
• ✅ High confidence (>70%)
• ✅ Signals match your analysis
• ✅ Few false positives

Warning Signs

• ⚠️ Too many signals (every second)
• ⚠️ Low confidence (<50%)
• ⚠️ Random signals
• ⚠️ Signals don't match patterns

💡 Tips & Tricks

Tip 1: Watch Multiple Timeframes

All 4 charts update simultaneously. Watch for:

• Alignment across timeframes
• Divergences between timeframes
• Pattern confirmation

Tip 2: Monitor Confidence

• >80%: Very strong signal
• 70-80%: Strong signal
• 50-70%: Moderate signal
• <50%: Weak signal (ignore)

Tip 3: Compare with Annotations

• Do live signals match your annotations?
• Are signals at similar price levels?
• Is timing similar to your trades?

Tip 4: Test Different Models

• Try CNN vs DQN vs Transformer
• Compare signal quality
• Note which performs best

Tip 5: Use for Validation

• After training, test with live inference
• Verify model learned correctly
• Check for overfitting

🐛 Troubleshooting

Charts Not Updating

Issue: Live mode active but charts frozen

Solutions:

• Check browser console for errors
• Verify DataProvider has live data
• Refresh page and restart inference
• Check network tab for failed requests

No Signals Generated

Issue: Status shows "HOLD" constantly

Solutions:

• Model may need more training
• Check model is loaded correctly
• Verify market conditions (model may correctly hold)
• Try different model

Signals Too Frequent

Issue: Signal every second

Solutions:

• Model may be overtrained
• Need more negative examples in training
• Adjust confidence threshold
• Retrain with better annotations

Performance Issues

Issue: Browser slow/laggy

Solutions:

• Close other tabs
• Reduce number of visible timeframes
• Stop inference when not needed
• Clear browser cache

📊 Example Session

Scenario: Testing CNN After Training

1. Preparation

• Trained CNN on 20 breakout annotations
• Model learned breakout patterns
• Ready to test on live data

2. Start Inference

• Select "StandardizedCNN"
• Click "Start Live Inference"
• 🔴 LIVE banner appears
• Charts begin updating

3. Observation (5 minutes)
