# Signal Dashboard Investing-signal platform for NASDAQ stocks. Surfaces the best trading opportunities through weighted multi-dimensional scoring — technical indicators, support/resistance quality, sentiment, fundamentals, and momentum — with asymmetric risk:reward scanning. **Philosophy:** Don't predict price. Find the path of least resistance, key S/R zones, and asymmetric R:R setups. ## How It Works Scheduled pipelines turn raw prices into a ranked, gated list of tradeable setups. Everything downstream of OHLCV is recomputed from stored data, so each refresh is cheap and idempotent. Job timing is cron-based and configurable in **Admin → Jobs** (default timezone Europe/Berlin). ### Daily Load — the full refresh Once a day (default 07:00). Steps run **in dependency order**, each consuming the previous step's fresh output: 1. **OHLCV** — fetch the latest daily bars for every tracked ticker (Alpaca); new tickers backfill ~5 years. 2. **Sentiment** — fetch sentiment for the names that matter and are stale (> 5 days): top-pick feeders (momentum leaders with a tradeable long setup), the watchlist, and open paper trades, plus a top-N-by-composite discovery net. Runs *before* the scan so the scan sees fresh sentiment. 3. **R:R Scan** — recompute S/R zones, the 5-dimension scores and long/short setups (ATR stops, S/R targets) for every ticker, and attach each ticker's 12‑1 momentum percentile. 4. **Outcome Eval** — resolve setups that hit target/stop or expired (default 30 trading days) and close paper trades that hit a level. 5. **Market Regime** — recompute the regime index (breadth/trend). 6. **Regime Monitor** — observational early-warning snapshot (VIX, credit spreads via FRED); feeds nothing else. A failing step is logged; the pipeline continues with the next. ### Intraday — light refresh Hourly across the US session (Mon–Fri): only **OHLCV → Outcome Eval**, to keep prices current and close paper trades intraday. No scan/sentiment — the dashboard recomputes live R:R from the latest price, so fresh prices are enough. ### Other jobs Fundamentals (weekly, early Monday) · Alerts (hourly, Telegram) · Backtest (weekly) · Ticker-universe sync (daily). Deep history backfill and event study are manual-only (Admin → Jobs). ### From score to "top pick" 1. **Composite score** — technical, S/R-quality, sentiment, fundamental and momentum sub-scores (0–100) combine into a weighted composite (weights configurable; missing dimensions re-normalize). 2. **Setups** — the scanner builds long/short setups with ATR stops and S/R targets, then adds a confidence score, conflict flags and a target reach-probability. 3. **Activation gate** — a setup *qualifies* only if it clears the R:R and confidence floors **and** ranks in the top momentum percentile of the universe (the validated edge is long-only momentum). 4. **Top pick** — the highest-momentum qualified setup; highlighted on the Dashboard and labelled on the ticker page. ## Key Use Cases - **Find today's best long setup.** On the **Dashboard**, the *Top Setups* table lists qualified setups ranked by momentum with the #1 flagged "Top pick". Each row opens the ticker page for the chart, scores, S/R targets and entry/stop. - **Track a trade you took.** Mark a setup as a **paper trade**: it's marked-to-market against the latest close, auto-closed on stop/target, and its sentiment stays fresh while open. *Signals → Track Record* shows the realized edge. ## Stack | Layer | Tech | |---|---| | Backend | Python 3.12+, FastAPI, Uvicorn, async SQLAlchemy, Alembic | | Database | PostgreSQL (asyncpg) | | Scheduler | APScheduler — daily & intraday pipelines, fundamentals, alerts, regime, backtest | | Frontend | React 18, TypeScript, Vite 5 | | Styling | Tailwind CSS 3 with custom glassmorphism design system | | State | TanStack React Query v5 (server), Zustand (client/auth) | | Charts | Canvas 2D candlestick chart with S/R overlays | | Routing | React Router v6 (SPA) | | HTTP | Axios with JWT interceptor | | Data providers | Alpaca (OHLCV); OpenAI / Gemini / DeepSeek / xAI (sentiment, pluggable); Fundamentals chain: FMP → Finnhub → Alpha Vantage; FRED (regime); Telegram (alerts) | ## Features ### Backend - Ticker registry with full cascade delete - Universe bootstrap for `sp500`, `nasdaq100`, `nasdaq_all` via admin endpoint - OHLCV price storage with upsert and validation - Technical indicators: ADX, EMA, RSI, ATR, Volume Profile, Pivot Points, EMA Cross - Support/Resistance detection with strength scoring and merge-within-tolerance - Sentiment analysis with time-decay weighted scoring - Fundamental data tracking (P/E, revenue growth, earnings surprise, market cap) - 5-dimension scoring engine (technical, S/R quality, sentiment, fundamental, momentum) with configurable weights - Risk:Reward scanner — long and short setups, ATR-based stops, S/R-based targets, configurable R:R threshold (default 1.5:1) - Activation gate — qualifies setups on a momentum-percentile floor plus R:R/confidence (validated long-only edge); ranks the rest by expected value - Recommendation layer — directional confidence, conflict detection, per-target reach-probability - Paper trading — take a setup, mark-to-market vs. latest close, auto-close on stop/target, realized track record + outcome evaluation - Market-regime index + FRED early-warning monitor (VIX, credit spreads); weekly backtest + manual event study - Telegram alerts (e.g. regime-quadrant changes) - User-curated watchlist (cap: 20), enriched with composite score, R:R and S/R summary - JWT auth with admin role, configurable registration, user access control - Cron-scheduled pipelines (admin-configurable) with per-job enable/disable and live status monitoring - Admin panel: user management, data cleanup, job control, system settings ### Frontend - Glassmorphism UI with frosted glass panels, gradient text, ambient glow effects, mesh gradient background - Interactive candlestick chart (Canvas 2D) with hover tooltips showing OHLCV values - Support/Resistance level overlays on chart (top 6 by strength, dashed lines with labels) - Data freshness bar showing availability and recency of each data source - Watchlist with composite scores, R:R ratios, and S/R summaries - Ticker detail page: chart, scores, sentiment breakdown, fundamentals, technical indicators, S/R table - Rankings table with configurable dimension weights - Trade scanner showing detected R:R setups - Admin page: user management, job status with live indicators, enable/disable toggles, data cleanup, system settings - Protected routes with JWT auth, admin-only sections - Responsive layout with mobile navigation - Toast notifications for async operations ## Pages | Route | Page | Access | |---|---|---| | `/login` | Login | Public | | `/register` | Register | Public (when enabled) | | `/` | Dashboard — top setups, open trades, regime (default) | Authenticated | | `/market` | Market — watchlist + rankings tabs | Authenticated | | `/signals` | Signals — scanner + track record tabs | Authenticated | | `/regime` | Market Regime | Authenticated | | `/ticker/:symbol` | Ticker Detail | Authenticated | | `/admin` | Admin Panel | Admin only | Legacy routes redirect: `/watchlist` → `/market`, `/rankings` → `/market?tab=rankings`, `/scanner` → `/signals`, `/performance` → `/signals?tab=track`. ## API Endpoints All under `/api/v1/`.

The Vite dev server proxies `/api/v1/` requests to the backend at `http://127.0.0.1:8000`. ### Frontend Build ```bash cd frontend npm run build # TypeScript check + production build → frontend/dist/ npm run preview # Preview the production build locally ``` ### Tests ```bash # Backend tests (in-memory SQLite — no PostgreSQL needed) pytest tests/ -v # Frontend tests cd frontend npm test ``` ## Environment Variables Configure in `.env` (copy from `.env.example`): | Variable | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `DATABASE_URL` | Yes | — | PostgreSQL connection string (`postgresql+asyncpg://...`) | | `JWT_SECRET` | Yes | — | Random secret for JWT signing | | `JWT_EXPIRY_MINUTES` | No | `60` | JWT token expiry | | `ALPACA_API_KEY` | For OHLCV | — | Alpaca Markets API key | | `ALPACA_API_SECRET` | For OHLCV | — | Alpaca Markets API secret | | `GEMINI_API_KEY` | For sentiment | — | Google Gemini API key | | `GEMINI_MODEL` | No | `gemini-2.0-flash` | Gemini model name | | `OPENAI_API_KEY` | For sentiment (OpenAI path) | — | OpenAI API key | | `OPENAI_MODEL` | No | `gpt-4o-mini` | OpenAI model name | | `OPENAI_SENTIMENT_BATCH_SIZE` | No | `5` | Micro-batch size for sentiment collector | | `FMP_API_KEY` | Optional (fundamentals) | — | Financial Modeling Prep API key (first provider in chain) | | `FINNHUB_API_KEY` | Optional (fundamentals) | — | Finnhub API key (fallback provider) | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_API_KEY` | Optional (fundamentals) | — | Alpha Vantage API key (fallback provider) | | `FRED_API_KEY` | Optional (regime) | — | FRED key for the regime monitor (VIX, credit spreads) | | `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` | Optional (alerts) | — | Telegram bot token for alerts (can also be set in Admin) | | `TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID` | Optional (alerts) | — | Telegram chat id for alerts | | `DATA_COLLECTOR_FREQUENCY` | No | `daily` | OHLCV collection schedule (legacy — see note below) | | `SENTIMENT_POLL_INTERVAL_MINUTES` | No | `30` | Sentiment polling interval | | `FUNDAMENTAL_FETCH_FREQUENCY` | No | `weekly` | Fundamentals fetch cadence | | `RR_SCAN_FREQUENCY` | No | `daily` | R:R scanner schedule | | `FUNDAMENTAL_RATE_LIMIT_RETRIES` | No | `3` | Retries per ticker on fundamentals rate-limit | | `FUNDAMENTAL_RATE_LIMIT_BACKOFF_SECONDS` | No | `15` | Base backoff seconds for fundamentals retry (exponential) | | `DEFAULT_WATCHLIST_AUTO_SIZE` | No | `10` | Auto-watchlist size | | `DEFAULT_RR_THRESHOLD` | No | `1.5` | Minimum R:R ratio for setups | | `DB_POOL_SIZE` | No | `5` | Database connection pool size | | `LOG_LEVEL` | No | `INFO` | Logging level | > **Note:** Pipeline timing (daily / intraday / fundamentals cron, timezone) is configured at runtime in **Admin → Jobs** and stored in the DB — the `*_FREQUENCY` env vars are legacy fallbacks for the few jobs still on interval triggers (alerts, universe sync). ## Production Deployment (Debian 12) ### 1. Install dependencies ```bash sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y python3.12 python3.12-venv postgresql nginx nodejs npm ``` ### 2. Create service user ```bash sudo useradd -r -s /usr/sbin/nologin stockdata ``` ### 3. Deploy application ```bash sudo mkdir -p /opt/stock-data-backend # Copy project files to /opt/stock-data-backend cd /opt/stock-data-backend python3.12 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install . ``` ### 4. Configure ```bash sudo cp .env.example /opt/stock-data-backend/.env sudo chown stockdata:stockdata /opt/stock-data-backend/.env # Edit .env with production values (strong JWT_SECRET, real API keys, etc.) ``` ### 5. Database ```bash DB_NAME=stock_data_backend DB_USER=stock_backend DB_PASS=strong_password ./deploy/setup_db.sh ``` ### 6. Build frontend ```bash cd frontend npm ci npm run build ``` ### 7. Systemd service ```bash sudo cp deploy/stock-data-backend.service /etc/systemd/system/ sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable --now stock-data-backend ``` ### 8. Nginx reverse proxy ```bash sudo cp deploy/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/stock-data-backend sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/stock-data-backend /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl reload nginx ``` Nginx serves the frontend static files from `frontend/dist/` and proxies `/api/v1/` to the backend. ### 9. SSL (recommended) ```bash sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx sudo certbot --nginx -d signal.thiessen.io ``` ### Verify ```bash curl https://signal.thiessen.io/api/v1/health ``` ## Project Structure ``` app/ ├── main.py # FastAPI app, lifespan, router wiring ├── config.py # Pydantic settings from .env ├── database.py # Async SQLAlchemy engine + session ├── dependencies.py # DI: DB session, auth guards ├── exceptions.py # Exception hierarchy ├── middleware.py # Global error handler → JSON envelope ├── cache.py # LRU cache with per-ticker invalidation ├── scheduler.py # APScheduler job definitions ├── models/ # SQLAlchemy ORM models ├── schemas/ # Pydantic request/response schemas ├── services/ # Business logic layer ├── providers/ # External data provider integrations └── routers/ # FastAPI route handlers frontend/ ├── index.html # SPA entry point ├── vite.config.ts # Vite config with API proxy ├── tailwind.config.ts # Tailwind + glassmorphism theme ├── package.json └── src/ ├── App.tsx # Route definitions ├── main.tsx # React entry point ├── api/ # Axios API client modules (one per resource) ├── components/ │ ├── admin/ # User table, job controls, settings, data cleanup │ ├── auth/ # Protected route wrapper │ ├── charts/ # Canvas candlestick chart │ ├── layout/ # App shell, sidebar, mobile nav │ ├── rankings/ # Rankings table, weights form │ ├── scanner/ # Trade table │ ├── ticker/ # Sentiment panel, fundamentals, indicators, S/R overlay │ ├── ui/ # Badge, toast, skeleton, score card, confirm dialog │ └── watchlist/ # Watchlist table, add ticker form ├── hooks/ # React Query hooks (one per resource) ├── lib/ # Types, formatting utilities ├── pages/ # Page components (Login, Register, Dashboard, Market, Signals, Regime, Ticker, Admin) ├── stores/ # Zustand auth store └── styles/ # Global CSS with glassmorphism classes deploy/ ├── nginx.conf # Reverse proxy + static file serving ├── setup_db.sh # Idempotent DB setup script └── stock-data-backend.service # systemd unit tests/ ├── conftest.py # Fixtures, strategies, test DB ├── unit/ # Unit tests └── property/ # Property-based tests (Hypothesis) ```
