The LLM-sourced capex/earnings observations carried 12+8 of 100 Warning points,
so both pegged at 100 produced a Warning of 20.0 -- below the event study's 25.3
alarm threshold and still inside the "stable" band. The reading was
arithmetically incapable of changing anything on screen, which is why refreshing
it appeared to do nothing. They are now a qualitative overlay reported beside
the scores rather than diluted into them.
Calibrated against the 408 v2 sessions to 2026-07-24, reproduced offline from
Alpaca + FRED; the harness matched the stored prod distribution exactly before
any parameter was changed.
State:
- P3 used dd_pct * 5, reaching 100 at a 20% drawdown -- the 90th percentile of
the observed distribution -- so 39/408 sessions sat at exactly 100 with no
resolution left during the part of a selloff that matters most. Replaced with
anchored breakpoints keeping headroom past the observed 36% maximum, blended
2:1 like P1/P2 instead of max(). P3's realized share of State falls from 65%
to 40%, matching its nominal weight.
- Credit level is now anchors-only. ICE capped FRED's BAMLH0A0HYM2 at a rolling
3-year window in April 2026, silently turning the 10-year percentile leg into
a 3-year one that scored 20 points of stress at an OAS of 3.5 -- the level its
own anchors call "mild". The anchors already encode the long-run distribution.
Warning:
- Added HY OAS 20-session widening (25%). The level is pinned at zero below the
3.5 anchor; its rate of change is not.
- Divergence tapers to a 0.35 floor instead of a hard price_ret >= 0 gate, which
zeroed the sensor through every decline: on 2026-07-24 the basket shed 10
points of participation in 20 sessions and Warning printed exactly 0.
- The event study and the live monitor now share one sensor definition, so they
cannot silently drift apart.
Bands are per axis (State 20/50/80, Warning 20/40/60) with quadrant dividers at
50/40; v2 Warning never exceeded 64.9 against a shared 60, leaving that half of
the quadrant unreachable. Realized shares: State 73/15/8/3%, Warning 69/20/8/3%.
Snapshots now record credit_history_days and vix_history_days -- the percentile
defect went unnoticed for months because nothing asserted the window the code
claimed.
Cutover: the first run rebuilds 400 sessions automatically; the Event Study job
must be re-run, as its cached report self-invalidates on the methodology check.

Review of the shadow book found seven ways the two books could leak into
each other; all are fixed here. The most serious silently invalidated the
comparison the shadow book exists to make.
- Shadow holdings no longer suppress the manual candidate list. The
open-trade exclusion filtered on any book, so shadow taking the
top-ranked names removed exactly those from the user's list and alerts,
confining the discretionary book to leftovers. Scoped to the manual
book. Closed-trade alerts and paper-book equity were leaking the same
way and are likewise scoped.
- Shadow sizing now matches _simulate_portfolio: min(1% risk, 20% notional
cap, available cash) from marked equity, plus the sub- dust guard.
Previously risk-only from realized equity, so a tight stop produced a
multiples-of-equity leveraged position the strategy would never take.
- Shadow only trades setups from the scan that just ran (<6h old) with one
setup per ticker. A failed or disabled scan step could otherwise open
positions from a prior session at stale prices.
- Gate-reset transitions are observed for both books, so a shadow stop-out
completes fail -> requalify instead of staying locked forever.
- Manual list/close endpoints default to the manual book and reject
hand-closing shadow trades; the performance endpoint is scoped to the
caller so 'your picks' is not every user's book.
- run_shadow_book is registered as a paused job so Admin can trigger it.
Also anchors three pre-existing paper-trade tests (and the new alpaca
window test) on the UTC date. They build fixtures from the local date but
the service stamps opened_at in UTC, so they failed only between 00:00 and
02:00 in a UTC+hh timezone -- latent on ba2df8b, exposed by the clock.

Stored TradeSetup rows are point-in-time snapshots from the RR scan, so
the ticker page could show stale confidence/reasoning/composite (e.g.
sentiment=neutral in the setup card while the sentiment panel showed
bullish). Overlay current score/sentiment context onto the API payload
for GET /trades and GET /trades/{symbol}, gate and format Telegram
qualified-setup alerts on the same live values, and apply the
min_confidence/recommended_action filters after the overlay so they
judge what the caller actually sees. Stored setups stay frozen for
outcome analysis and backtests.

Applies the backtest-validated trailing stop to live paper trading, and surfaces
it transparently.
Exit (A):
- New paper-trade exit policy (paper_exit_mode=trailing, paper_trailing_pct=12),
tunable in Admin → Paper-Trade Exit. resolve_open_trades runs a trailing stop
(initial stop as floor, ratchets up from the peak; target ignored — the
validated rule) and records close_reason (trailing|stop|target|manual; +migration
013).
- list_trades enriches open trades with the live trailing-stop level + distance %.
Open Trades panel shows the active tactic and a Trail Stop column.
Alerts (B):
- Daily digest now lists open trades with unrealized gain, trailing stop, and how
far away it is.
- New "trade closed" alert: one summary per auto-close (trailing/target/stop, not
manual) — direction, reason, days held, P&L abs+%/R — covering wins AND
stop-loss losses. Deduped by trade id; toggle in Admin alerts.

Fires once when the regime monitor shifts quadrant (regime index x early
warning), so you don't have to watch the tab. Two guards against spam:
- Hysteresis: each axis only flips once the value crosses its divider by a
margin, so a point parked on a boundary keeps its quadrant instead of
flip-flopping day to day.
- Cooldown: a genuine change stays quiet for a few days after the last alert.
Seeds the baseline silently on first run; reuses the existing Telegram dispatch
+ AlertLog. New per-trigger toggle in Admin → Alerts (on by default).

Behavior-preserving cleanup (345 tests pass, ruff clean):
- scheduler: replace 62 inline logger.x(json.dumps({...})) calls with a
_log_event helper, and collapse 11 identical _job_runtime dicts into an
_idle_runtime() factory over _JOB_NAMES.
- settings: add app/services/settings_store.py (get_setting/get_value/get_map/
upsert_setting) and route ~13 hand-rolled SystemSetting queries + two
identical _settings_map helpers through it.
- scoring.get_rankings: collapse the per-ticker N+1 (3-4 queries + a commit each)
into 2 bulk reads + a single conditional commit; drop the redundant re-fetch.
Lazy recompute-on-read is preserved. Adds first tests for get_rankings.
Net ~ -245 lines across the touched modules.
Qualified tickers already get their own "qualified setup" alert, so an S/R
proximity ping on them is redundant noise. Drop the watchlist ∪ qualified scope
(remove now-unused _alert_scope_tickers) and alert only on watchlist tickers.

Three fixes to over-firing S/R proximity alerts:
- Route through cluster_sr_zones (the same merger the chart uses) instead of raw
SRLevel rows, so near-duplicate levels (e.g. CVX 183 + 185) collapse into one
zone and one alert.
- Alert only the single NEAREST strong zone per ticker, not every nearby level.
- Scope to watchlist + qualified-setup tickers via _alert_scope_tickers (was
iterating all watchlist entries only; qualified setups are now included too).

Closes the action loop — instead of polling the dashboard, the platform pushes
actionable signals to Telegram. New hourly 'alerts' job dispatches four
toggleable triggers, deduped via a new alert_log table (cooldown-based for
qualified/S-R/digest, watermark-based for score deterioration). Admin → Settings
gains a Telegram panel (write-only bot token, chat ID, per-trigger toggles, Send
Test). Credentials follow DB > env precedence (TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN / _CHAT_ID).
Backend: alert_service + AlertLog model + migration 005, scheduler job, admin
endpoints/schema. Frontend: AlertSettings panel, hooks, api, types.
Deploy: run alembic upgrade (new alert_log table).
