🎯 MASTER WORK ORDER — Intraday Guardian System (Comprehensive)
Manager: Zo | Created: 2026-03-13 | Last Audit: 2026-03-13 18:30 ET
Source: intraday-guardian-system.mdc (1102 lines, 27 sections)
Status: WAVES 1–4 COMPLETE ✅ — WAVE 5 ACTIVE — WAVE 6 QUEUED
HOW THIS WORKS
- Find your WAVE — complete Wave N before starting Wave N+1
- Read your instructions — deliverables, files, exact verification commands
- Do the work — ship code, not docs
- Run EVERY verification command — paste the full output in your status update
- Write your update in the designated
STATUS UPDATEblock - Manager reviews — if verification passes, task is marked ✅. If not, you redo it.
Anti-Sandbag Rules (Non-Negotiable):
- Your update must include: files created/modified, full verification command output, and any blockers
- If you write "TODO", "placeholder", or "will implement later" in shipped code → REJECTED
- If your verification command fails or you skip running it → REJECTED
- If you touch a file outside your boundary → REJECTED
- If you document instead of coding → REJECTED
- If you claim "already done" without pasting verification output → REJECTED
- If you only run
tsc --noEmitand skip the grep/curl verification → REJECTED

WAVE 2 — BYPASS CLOSURES + STALE DATA FIXES (ACTIVE)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Source: Sections 2, 4, 10, 16, 25 of intraday-guardian-system.mdc
These are gaps the monolith MDC explicitly identified. Manager audit confirmed they are NOT done.
Gap 1: narrative_checker.py bypasses the gate (AGENT 2)
MDC Source: §16 row 5 — "narrative_checker: Has own block, not formal gate → Review needed"
MDC Source: §18 item 2 — "Gate narrative_checker — directional signals must go through should_fire()"
Problem: narrative_checker.py line 288 emits CheckerAlert with source="narrative_checker" but NEVER calls confluence_gate.should_fire(). The DP divergence checker had the same problem and Agent 2 fixed it at line 128 of dp_divergence_checker.py. This exact same pattern must be applied to narrative_checker.py.
File: live_monitoring/orchestrator/checkers/narrative_checker.py
Fix: Before the alert emission around line ~288, add:
if self.confluence_gate:
gate_result = self.confluence_gate.should_fire(
signal_direction=direction,
symbol=ticker,
raw_confidence=confidence,
)
if gate_result.blocked:
logger.info(f"🚫 Narrative signal BLOCKED by gate: {gate_result.reason}")
return # Don't emit the alert
You must also make sure the confluence_gate instance is passed to the checker (check how it's done in dp_divergence_checker.py and mirror that pattern).
Verification (ALL must pass):
# V1: should_fire exists in the file
grep -n "should_fire" live_monitoring/orchestrator/checkers/narrative_checker.py
# MUST return at least 1 line with a line number.
# V2: confluence_gate is accepted as init parameter
grep -n "confluence_gate" live_monitoring/orchestrator/checkers/narrative_checker.py
# MUST return at least 1 line.
# V3: the gate check happens BEFORE alert emission
python3 -c "
import ast, sys
with open('live_monitoring/orchestrator/checkers/narrative_checker.py') as f:
tree = ast.parse(f.read())
calls = [n.lineno for n in ast.walk(tree) if isinstance(n, ast.Attribute) and n.attr == 'should_fire']
alerts = [n.lineno for n in ast.walk(tree) if isinstance(n, ast.Call) and any(isinstance(a, ast.Attribute) and a.attr == 'append' for a in ast.walk(n))]
print(f'should_fire lines: {calls}')
print(f'PASS' if calls else 'FAIL: no should_fire call found')
"
Gap 2: TodaysBrief.tsx has no auto-poll (AGENT 1)
MDC Source: §25 item 2 — "TodaysBrief auto-poll — Add setInterval(60000) to TodaysBrief.tsx"
Problem: TodaysBrief.tsx fetches /morning-brief once on mount and never refreshes. During market hours the data goes stale within minutes. The monolith explicitly calls for 60-second polling.
File: frontend/src/pages/TodaysBrief.tsx
Fix: Add a useEffect with setInterval(60000) to re-fetch /morning-brief every 60 seconds. Only poll during market hours (9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET). Clear the interval on unmount.
useEffect(() => {
const interval = setInterval(() => {
// Only refetch if likely market hours (rough check)
const now = new Date();
const hour = now.getUTCHours() - 4; // rough ET conversion
if (hour >= 9 && hour <= 16) {
fetchBrief(); // re-use existing fetch function
}
}, 60000);
return () => clearInterval(interval);
}, []);
Verification (ALL must pass):
# V1: setInterval exists
grep -n "setInterval" frontend/src/pages/TodaysBrief.tsx
# MUST return at least 1 line.
# V2: clearInterval cleanup exists
grep -n "clearInterval" frontend/src/pages/TodaysBrief.tsx
# MUST return at least 1 line.
# V3: 60000 or 60_000 or 60 * 1000 interval value
grep -n "60000\|60_000\|60 \* 1000" frontend/src/pages/TodaysBrief.tsx
# MUST return at least 1 line.
# V4: TypeScript compiles
cd frontend && npx tsc --noEmit 2>&1 | tail -5
# MUST show 0 errors or no output (clean compile)
Gap 3: Discord webhook alerts don't check thesis (AGENT 2)
MDC Source: §4 row 8 — "Discord — Unified monitor alerts: ⚠️ Some checkers use gate, ❌ NO invalidation after firing"
MDC Source: §10 Discord spec — "When thesis_valid flips true→false: 'No more signal alerts fire until thesis is restored'"
Problem: unified_monitor.py dispatches Discord alerts through _handle_synthesis_narrative (line 537–581) and generic checker handlers. These alerts fire even when thesis_valid=false in the snapshot. grep thesis_valid unified_monitor.py returns 0 results.
File: live_monitoring/orchestrator/unified_monitor.py
Fix: In the alert dispatch path, before sending any directional alert to Discord, read /tmp/intraday_snapshot.json. If thesis_valid=false AND market_open=true:
- For directional signals (squeeze, gamma, options flow, DP divergence, narrative): BLOCK the alert
- For context alerts (fed, earnings, economic, news): Allow but prepend "⚠️ THESIS INVALID — "
def _is_thesis_valid(self) -> bool:
"""Check if intraday thesis is currently valid."""
import json, os
snap_path = "/tmp/intraday_snapshot.json"
if not os.path.exists(snap_path):
return True # No snapshot = no penalty
try:
with open(snap_path) as f:
snap = json.load(f)
if snap.get("market_open") and not snap.get("thesis_valid", True):
return False
except Exception:
pass
return True
Then in the alert handler, before Discord send:
if not self._is_thesis_valid():
logger.info(f"🚫 Alert suppressed (thesis invalid): {alert}")
return 0 # Suppress directional alerts
Verification (ALL must pass):
# V1: thesis check exists in the file
grep -n "thesis_valid\|intraday_snapshot" live_monitoring/orchestrator/unified_monitor.py
# MUST return at least 1 line.
# V2: the method exists
grep -n "_is_thesis_valid\|thesis_valid" live_monitoring/orchestrator/unified_monitor.py
# MUST return at least 2 lines (definition + usage).
# V3: Python syntax valid
python3 -c "import ast; ast.parse(open('live_monitoring/orchestrator/unified_monitor.py').read()); print('SYNTAX OK')"
Gap 4: Gate Health badge on TodaysBrief (AGENT 1)
MDC Source: §25 item 6 — "Gate Health badge on TodaysBrief — consume GET /api/v1/gate/health"
MDC Source: §27 item 1 — "GET /api/v1/gate/health endpoint live on Render → So I can add Gate Health badge"
Problem: The /api/v1/gate/health endpoint exists (Agent 2 built it at backend/app/api/v1/gate.py). TodaysBrief.tsx does not consume it. The monolith explicitly assigns this to Agent 1.
File: frontend/src/pages/TodaysBrief.tsx
Fix: Fetch GET /api/v1/gate/health?n=20 on mount. Display a badge showing:
- Win rate: X% (from
win_rate_last_n) - Blocked: Y / Allowed: Z (from
blocked_vs_allowed) - Average R: X.XXR (from
avg_r_last_n)
If the endpoint 404s or fails, show "Gate Health: Unavailable" in grey. Never crash.
Verification (ALL must pass):
# V1: gate/health fetch exists
grep -n "gate/health\|gateHealth\|gate_health" frontend/src/pages/TodaysBrief.tsx
# MUST return at least 1 line.
# V2: win_rate or blocked displayed
grep -n "win_rate\|blocked.*allowed\|avg_r" frontend/src/pages/TodaysBrief.tsx
# MUST return at least 1 line.
# V3: Error handling (404 graceful)
grep -n "catch\|error\|Unavailable\|unavailable" frontend/src/pages/TodaysBrief.tsx
# MUST return at least 1 line related to gate health error handling.
# V4: TypeScript compiles
cd frontend && npx tsc --noEmit 2>&1 | tail -5
Gap 5: SPY wall breach alert in TodaysBrief (AGENT 1)
MDC Source: §25 item 3 — "SPY wall breach alert in brief — wall_breached field in morning_brief_generator.py"
Status: wall_breached field IS in morning_brief_generator.py (lines 163-183) ✅.
But: TodaysBrief.tsx does NOT render a red warning when wall_breached=true.
File: frontend/src/pages/TodaysBrief.tsx
Fix: When the brief JSON contains wall_breached: true, change the verdict banner from green to RED, and show:
- "⚠️ SPY WALL BREACH — ${breach details}"
- Override verdict color to CAUTION or SELL styling
Verification (ALL must pass):
# V1: wall_breached check exists in frontend
grep -n "wall_breached\|wallBreached\|wall_breach" frontend/src/pages/TodaysBrief.tsx
# MUST return at least 1 line.
# V2: Red/warning styling connected to wall breach
grep -n "wall_breached\|wallBreached" frontend/src/pages/TodaysBrief.tsx | grep -i "red\|#ef4444\|warning\|CAUTION\|breach"
# Should return at least 1 line (if not, check the logic manually).
# V3: TypeScript compiles
cd frontend && npx tsc --noEmit 2>&1 | tail -5
Gap 6: Discord /levels gate warning (AGENT 2)
MDC Source: §4 row 7 — "Discord /levels command: ❌ NO GATE, 🟡 MEDIUM risk — informational but could mislead"
Problem: The /levels command in Discord returns DP levels data without any thesis check. If the thesis is invalidated, a trader gets DP levels that look bullish while the thesis says "don't trade."
File: discord_bot/commands/alpha.py (or wherever /levels lives)
Fix: After returning levels data, append a thesis status warning if thesis_valid=false:
# Read thesis status
import json, os
snap_path = "/tmp/intraday_snapshot.json"
if os.path.exists(snap_path):
try:
with open(snap_path) as f:
snap = json.load(f)
if snap.get("market_open") and not snap.get("thesis_valid", True):
response += f"\n\n⚠️ **THESIS INVALID**: {snap.get('thesis_invalidation_reason', 'Thesis invalidated')}"
except:
pass
Verification:
# V1: thesis check exists near /levels
grep -n "thesis_valid\|intraday_snapshot" discord_bot/commands/alpha.py
# MUST return at least 3 lines (from /setup, /alpha, AND /levels).
# V2: Python syntax valid
python3 -c "import ast; ast.parse(open('discord_bot/commands/alpha.py').read()); print('SYNTAX OK')"
Gap 7: Visual verification + kill test of /live page (AGENT 3)
MDC Source: §10 frontend spec — "If thesis_valid=false: full-width red banner, hide all green signal cards"
MDC Source: §9 scenario — "Trader sees: RED EVERYWHERE. Nothing to trade."
Problem: Agent 3 shipped components but only ran tsc --noEmit. No browser test. No kill test. No screenshot.
Task: Start the frontend dev server. Open /live. Verify ALL 4 states:
| State | What Must Show | What Must NOT Show |
|---|---|---|
market_open=false |
Grey "🌙 Market Closed" banner | No green, no red |
thesis_valid=true, market_open=true |
Green "✅ THESIS VALID" with SPY price, wall diff | No red |
thesis_valid=false, market_open=true |
Full RED "⛔ THESIS INVALIDATED" + reason, ZERO green text | No green actionable text |
circuit_breaker_active=true |
Sticky dark red banner at TOP, z-index 999, non-dismissible | No dismiss button |
THE KILL TEST (mandatory):
- Write a mock snapshot with
thesis_valid=falseto/tmp/intraday_snapshot.json - Refresh the
/livepage - Search the ENTIRE visible page for: "BUY", "BULL", "active", "LONG" in green color
- If ANY green actionable text survives → BUG. Fix it.
Verification:
# V1: Frontend builds

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WAVE 3 — HARDENING + REMAINING MONOLITH TASKS (QUEUED)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Source: Sections 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 19, 25 of intraday-guardian-system.mdc
These are secondary tasks that strengthen the system after Wave 2 closes all critical bypasses.
Task 3.1: Wire VolumeSpkeDetector into scheduler (AGENT 1)
MDC Source: §3 row 4 — "VolumeSpkeDetector: EXISTS, code is there, Not scheduled"
MDC Source: §8 row 8 — "volume_spike_detector.py: ❌ EXISTS but not scheduled"
Problem: volume_spike_detector.py exists and works but is never called by anything. The monolith flags it as "the code exists and works, just not wired."
File: live_monitoring/premarket_scheduler.py
Fix: Add a VOLUME_SPIKE stage to the intraday loop (alongside the guardian check):
# Every 15 min during market hours, detect volume spikes
from live_monitoring.volume_spike_detector import VolumeSpkeDetector
detector = VolumeSpkeDetector()
spikes = detector.check()
if spikes:
logger.info(f"📈 Volume spikes detected: {spikes}")
Verification:
grep -n "VolumeSpkeDetector\|volume_spike" live_monitoring/premarket_scheduler.py
# MUST return at least 1 line.
Task 3.2: Discord thesis invalidation webhook (AGENT 2)
MDC Source: §10 Discord spec — "When thesis_valid flips true→false: Send to #signals channel: '⛔ THESIS INVALIDATED: {reason}'. No more signal alerts fire until thesis is restored."
Problem: When the guardian flips thesis_valid=false, no Discord notification is sent. The trader only sees it in the web UI. Discord should push-notify immediately.
File: live_monitoring/intraday_guardian.py OR a new webhook helper
Fix: After writing the snapshot with thesis_valid=false, send a Discord webhook:
# In IntradayGuardian.check(), after writing snapshot:
if not thesis_valid and self._prev_thesis_valid:
self._send_discord_alert(f"⛔ THESIS INVALIDATED: {reason}")
self._prev_thesis_valid = thesis_valid
Verification:
grep -n "discord\|webhook\|THESIS INVALID" live_monitoring/intraday_guardian.py

Task 3.3: Signal lifecycle — invalidation flow end-to-end (AGENT 2)
MDC Source: §7 question 3 — "Is the signal I'm looking at still active? gate_signals_today.json has no status field → ❌ NO — no signal lifecycle"
MDC Source: §10 invalidate_signals() spec
Problem: status: active is now written by log_signal() (Wave 1). But invalidate_signals() in intraday_guardian.py needs to flip them to status: invalidated when thesis breaks. Verify this end-to-end flow works:
- Guardian detects thesis invalid
- Guardian calls
invalidate_signals() gate_signals_today.jsonentries getstatus: invalidated,invalidation_reason,invalidated_at- Frontend reads the signal list and shows only
status: activeas green, rest as grey
Verification:
# V1: invalidate_signals exists and modifies status
grep -n "invalidate_signals\|status.*invalidated" live_monitoring/intraday_guardian.py
# MUST return at least 2 lines.
# V2: The method actually writes back to file
python3 -c "

Task 3.5: Tradytics listener thesis check (AGENT 2)
MDC Source: §4 row 9 — "Discord — Tradytics listener: ❌ NO GATE — passthrough, 🟡 MEDIUM"
MDC Source: §16 row (implied) — Tradytics signals pass through to Discord without gate
Problem: tradytics/listener.py forwards flow data directly to Discord without any thesis awareness.
File: Find the tradytics listener and add thesis warning.
Fix: Before forwarding flow data, read snapshot. If thesis_valid=false, prepend warning.
Verification:
grep -rn "thesis_valid\|intraday_snapshot" discord_bot/tradytics/ live_monitoring/orchestrator/checkers/tradytics_checker.py 2>/dev/null
# Should return at least 1 line.
Task 3.6: AXLFI Intel page thesis awareness (AGENT 3)
MDC Source: §4 row 1 — "Web UI — AXLFI Intel: ❌ NO — raw AXLFI signals, never gated, ❌ NO, 🔴 HIGH"
MDC Source: §4 row 2 — "Web UI — Kill Chain Table: ❌ NO — shows enriched signals, no gate check, 🔴 HIGH"
Problem: AXLFIIntel.tsx shows signals directly from the AXLFI API with no thesis check. When thesis is invalid, green "BULL" signals still appear on this page.
File: frontend/src/pages/AXLFIIntel.tsx
Fix: Poll /api/v1/intraday/snapshot (reuse useIntradaySnapshot hook from Wave 1). When thesis_valid=false:
- Show a RED banner at the top of AXLFIIntel: "⛔ THESIS INVALIDATED — signals below may be stale"
- Grey out all signal cards or dim their colors
- Do NOT hide the data (it's still useful for analysis), but make it visually clear it's invalidated

Problem: KillChainTable.tsx shows enriched signals with green BULL indicators even when thesis is invalid.
File: frontend/src/components/axlfi/KillChainTable.tsx
Fix: Accept thesisValid prop. When false:
- Change all green BULL indicators to grey
- Add "(THESIS INVALID)" text next to signal direction
- Remove any green glow or emphasis styling

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WAVE 4 — PRODUCTION HARDENING (QUEUED — After Wave 3)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Source: Sections 4, 6, 9, 25 + cross-cutting concerns
These refine the system and close the last "0/9 channels enforce intraday invalidation" gap.
Task 4.1: Today's Brief switches to Live Session at 9:30 AM (AGENT 1 + AGENT 3)
MDC Source: §10 — "Frontend: Auto-switch Morning Brief → Live Session at 9:30 AM ET"
MDC Source: §9 scenario — "Today's Brief → Live: Switches to 'THESIS INVALIDATED' red banner"
Problem: Currently TodaysBrief and LiveSession are separate pages. During market hours, the trader must manually navigate to /live. The monolith says the brief should AUTO-SWITCH.
Agent 1 Fix: In TodaysBrief.tsx, detect market hours (poll /api/v1/intraday/snapshot — if market_open=true), show a prominent banner linking to /live or auto-redirect.
Agent 3 Fix: Alternatively, make LiveSession embed TodaysBrief data so one page serves both purposes.
Task 4.2: Agent X panels thesis awareness (AGENT 3)
MDC Source: §4 row 4 — "Web UI — Agent X panels: ❓ Varies by panel, ❌ NO, 🟡 MEDIUM"
Problem: Multiple Agent X panels show data without thesis awareness.
Fix: Survey all Agent X panels. For any that show actionable trade info, add thesis status awareness (same pattern as Tasks 3.6/3.7).
Task 4.3: Circuit breaker wiring to RiskManager (AGENT 2)
MDC Source: §6 — "Circuit breaker: YES, but completely disconnected from ConfluenceGate, MorningBrief, Frontend, Discord"
Problem: The risk_manager.py circuit breaker (line 296-298) only works for run_lotto_machine.py. The GateOutcomeTracker.is_circuit_breaker_active() is based on consecutive losses ONLY. If PnL drops below -3% total, the old circuit breaker fires but the gate doesn't know.
Fix: In the INTRADAY stage, also read the risk_manager circuit breaker state (if available) and merge with the consecutive-loss logic.
Task 4.4: Full 9-channel enforcement audit (MANAGER)
MDC Source: §4 — "0 of 9 channels enforce intraday invalidation. 5 of 9 don't even enforce the pre-market gate."
After Waves 1-3, re-audit all 9 channels:
| # | Channel | Gate? | Intraday Invalidation? | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AXLFI Intel page | ❌→→? | ❌→→? | Wave 3 Task 3.6 |
| 2 | Kill Chain Table | ❌→→? | ❌→→? | Wave 3 Task 3.7 |
| 3 | Today's Brief | ⚠️→→? | ❌→→? | Wave 2 Gaps 2,4,5 |

| 8 | Unified monitor alerts | ⚠️→→? | ❌→→? | Wave 2 Gap 3 |
| 9 | Tradytics listener | ❌→→? | ❌→→? | Wave 3 Task 3.5 |
Target: 9/9 channels enforce gate + intraday invalidation.

WAVE 5 — DEPLOY + LIVE MARKET TEST (ACTIVE)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Waves 1-4 built the system. Wave 5 proves it works with real money on the line. The system must survive 3 full market sessions (9:30 AM–4:00 PM ET) before Wave 6.
Task 5.1: Deploy to Render (AGENT 1)
What: Push current main to Render. Verify the backend starts, scheduler fires, and all endpoints respond.
Verification:
# After deploy:
curl https://<render-url>/api/v1/intraday/snapshot
# Must return JSON with all 20 fields
curl https://<render-url>/morning-brief
# Must return cached brief JSON
curl https://<render-url>/api/v1/gate/health?n=20
# Must return gate health JSON
Acceptance: All 3 endpoints return JSON, no 500 errors.
Task 5.2: Live Market Guardian Monitoring — Day 1 (AGENT 1)
What: On the next market open, monitor the guardian loop. Collect the snapshot every 15 minutes. Log any failures.
Deliverable: A log file at data/guardian_live_day1.json with:
[
{ "time": "09:30", "thesis_valid": true, "spy_price": 662.30, "wall_status": "defended" },
{ "time": "09:45", "thesis_valid": true, "spy_price": 661.80, "wall_status": "testing" },
...
]
Acceptance: At least 26 entries (one every 15 min from 9:30-16:00). No crashes. If yfinance/Stockgrid fails, log the fallback behavior.
Task 5.3: Live Gate Enforcement Test (AGENT 2)
What: During market hours, manually test the gate with a KNOWN signals file. Verify:
- Write a test signal to
gate_signals_today.jsonwithstatus: active - Write a fake
thesis_valid=falsesnapshot - Confirm the gate blocks the signal via
/api/v1/gate/signals/today→ status should showinvalidated - Verify Discord webhook fires (check #signals channel)
Acceptance: Screenshot or log of: blocked signal + Discord notification + invalidated status.
Task 5.4: Frontend Visual Kill Test — On Render (AGENT 3)
What: With the system running on Render:
- Open
/live— screenshot in thesis-valid state (green) - Write
thesis_valid=falsesnapshot on the server - Refresh
/live— screenshot in thesis-invalid state (RED, zero green) - Check
/axlfi— screenshot showing thesis-invalid banner + greyed signals - Check
/dark-pool— screenshot showing thesis-invalid banner + dimmed content - Enable circuit breaker — screenshot showing sticky dark red banner
Acceptance: 6 screenshots proving all states render correctly.
Task 5.5: 3-Day Burn-In (ALL AGENTS)
What: The system must run unattended for 3 full market sessions. After each day:
- Agent 1 reviews
intraday_snapshot.jsoncorrectness (wall prices, volume, thesis) - Agent 2 reviews
gate_signals_today.jsonandgate_outcomes.jsonsettlement - Agent 3 reviews frontend rendering (one screenshot per day)
Acceptance: 3 clean days. If the guardian loop crashes, fix it. If the gate misclassifies, fix it. If the frontend shows green during red, fix it.

Task 6.1: Guardian Replay — "Would It Have Saved You?" (AGENT 1)
What: Replay the existing backtest data through the Guardian's thesis logic. For each trade in our backtest reports, determine if the Guardian would have blocked it.
Input files:
backtesting/reports/backtest_2026-03-05_2026-03-09.json(24 trades, 25% WR — most lost money)backtesting/reports/backtest_2025-11-05_2025-12-04.json(30 days)data/gate_backtest_week1.json(Week 1 gate signals)historical_cache/SPY_3mo.csv(SPY price for wall comparison)
Script: backtesting/guardian_replay.py
Logic per trade:
- Read trade's date + timestamp
- Look up SPY price at that time from historical cache or yfinance
- Look up SPY call/put walls for that day (fetch from Stockgrid or use cached
axlfi_dark_pool_live.json) - Run Guardian thesis check:
spy_price < call_wall - 0.5→ thesis_invalid - If thesis was INVALID at trade time → mark as "would have been blocked"
- Compare PnL of blocked vs passed trades
Output: backtesting/reports/guardian_replay_results.json
{
"total_trades": 24,
"trades_guardian_would_block": 8,
"blocked_trade_avg_pnl": -0.35,
"passed_trade_avg_pnl": +0.12,
"pnl_saved_by_guardian": 2.80,
"false_blocks": 1,
"true_blocks": 7,
"precision": 87.5
}
Acceptance threshold:
blocked_trade_avg_pnlmust be negative (guardian blocks losers, not winners)precision(% of blocks that were actual losers) must be > 60%- If precision < 60%, the wall break threshold (currently -0.5) is too aggressive
Verification:
python3 backtesting/guardian_replay.py
cat backtesting/reports/guardian_replay_results.json | python3 -m json.tool
# blocked_trade_avg_pnl must be negative
# precision must be > 60%
Task 6.2: Signal Replay — Minute-by-Minute Kill Test (AGENT 1)
What: Replay the Nov 20, 2025 selloff using the replay logs. This is the day SPY dropped -0.53% in 20 minutes with 2.4x volume. The Guardian SHOULD have caught this.
Input files:
logs/replay/lotto_signals_SPY_2025-11-20.csv(minute-by-minute signals)cache/alpha_vantage/SPY_1min_full_20251121.json(1-min bars for price)
Script: backtesting/guardian_replay_nov20.py
Logic:
- Parse each signal row: timestamp, action (SELL), entry_price, stop_price, confidence
- At each timestamp, compute: SPY price vs known wall levels from that day
- Simulate Guardian check: when does thesis flip to INVALID?
- Mark all signals AFTER thesis flip as "would be blocked"
- For signals BEFORE thesis flip, mark as "passed" and track their PnL (entry vs exit or stop)
Output: backtesting/reports/guardian_replay_nov20.json
{
"date": "2025-11-20",
"selloff_start": "11:15:00",
"thesis_flip_time": "11:22:00",
"total_signals": 156,
"signals_before_flip": 12,
"signals_after_flip_blocked": 144,
"blocked_signals_avg_confidence": 0.68,
"pnl_saved": "14 SELL signals at avg entry $669 that hit stop at $676"
}
Acceptance: thesis_flip_time must be < 30 minutes after selloff start (the guardian's 15-min loop must catch it within 2 cycles).
Task 6.3: Gate Outcome Analysis — Win Rate Before vs After (AGENT 2)
What: Compare backtesting win rates BEFORE the gate existed vs AFTER. The gate was wired in during Wave 1. If it works, gated signals should have a higher win rate.
Input files:
backtesting/reports/backtest_2025-11-05_2025-12-04.json(BEFORE gate — 30 days, no gate)backtesting/reports/backtest_2025-12-05_2026-01-04.json(BEFORE gate — another month)backtesting/reports/backtest_2026-03-05_2026-03-09.json(AFTER gate wired — 5 days)data/gate_backtest_week1.json(AFTER gate — Week 1)
Script: backtesting/gate_before_after.py
Metrics:
| Metric | Before Gate | After Gate | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| Win Rate | X% | Y% | +Z% |
| Avg PnL per trade | -$X | +$Y | +$Z |
| Losing trades / day | X | Y | -Z |
| Max drawdown per day | -X% | -Y% | +Z% |
Acceptance: After-gate win rate must be higher than before-gate win rate OR after-gate avg PnL must be less negative. If BOTH are worse, the gate is hurting performance and needs threshold tuning.
Verification:
python3 backtesting/gate_before_after.py
# Must print the comparison table with real numbers
# Delta column must show improvement in at least 1 of 4 metrics
Task 6.4: Gate Threshold Optimization (AGENT 2)
What: Using the guardian replay data from Task 6.1, test different thresholds to find the optimal settings.
Parameters to sweep:
- Wall break threshold: currently
-0.5(SPY must be $0.50 below call wall to invalidate). Test:-0.25,-0.50,-1.00,-1.50,-2.00 - Circuit breaker count: currently
2consecutive losses. Test:1,2,3,4 - Volume ratio threshold: currently none. Test adding volume > 1.5x as a required co-condition
Script: backtesting/threshold_optimizer.py
Output: backtesting/reports/threshold_optimization.json — a grid of precision/recall for each parameter combination.
Acceptance: If any combo beats the current defaults on precision AND doesn't increase false-block rate by >10%, update the guardian defaults.
Task 6.5: Gate Health Analytics Dashboard (AGENT 3)
What: Build a /gate-analytics page that visualizes gate performance using REAL data from our backtests.
Data sources:
/api/v1/gate/health?n=100(live gate health)/api/v1/gate/outcomes(historical outcomes)/api/v1/gate/signals/today(today's signals)data/gate_backtest_week1.json(loaded client-side or via new endpoint)
Panels to build:
- Gate Performance Strip — win rate, blocked/allowed ratio, avg R (from gate health endpoint)
- Signal Timeline — horizontal bar showing today's signals as dots (green=passed, red=blocked, grey=invalidated), positioned by time. Uses
gate_signals_today.jsontimestamp. - Block Reason Breakdown — pie chart (inline SVG) showing how many blocks were: THESIS, CIRCUIT_BREAKER, REGIME, BIAS, KILL_CHAIN. Data from
gate_blocked_today.json. - Before vs After Comparison — static card showing the results from Task 6.3 (before gate vs after gate win rate).
Acceptance: 4 panels rendering with real data. tsc --noEmit → 0 errors. Route registered in App.tsx.
Task 6.6: Automated Daily Gate Report — Discord + JSON (AGENT 2)
What: At 16:10 ET (after settlement), automatically generate and post a Gate Health summary.
Trigger: Add a 16:10 stage to premarket_scheduler.py (Agent 1 file — coordinate with Agent 1, or Agent 2 adds a Discord webhook call in unified_monitor.py's existing 16:05 settlement hook).
Format:
📊 GATE REPORT — March 14, 2026
├ Signals passed: 4 | Blocked: 8
├ Win rate: 75% (3/4 passed signals won)
├ Blocked reasons: 5 THESIS, 2 REGIME, 1 CIRCUIT_BREAKER
├ Thesis status: VALID until 14:30, then INVALID (SPY broke $665)
├ Guardian saved: 3 signals ($AMAT, $MU, $LRCX) that would have lost avg -0.8R
└ Circuit breaker: Not triggered
Data: Read from gate_signals_today.json, gate_blocked_today.json, gate_outcomes.json, and intraday_snapshot.json.
Acceptance: One Discord post per day with real data. The report must include signal count, block count, win rate, and block reasons. Test by running:
python3 -c "
from live_monitoring.orchestrator.gate_outcome_tracker import GateOutcomeTracker
t = GateOutcomeTracker()
h = t.get_health(n=20)
print(h)
# Must return dict with win_rate_last_n, blocked_vs_allowed, avg_r_last_n
"

ANTI-SANDBAG MANIFESTO
- Code ships, docs don't. Your commit must contain
.pyor.tsxfiles. - Verification commands are non-negotiable. Run EVERY one. Paste the FULL output.
- No file outside your boundary. Touch another agent's file = rejected.
- No placeholders.
TODO,# implement later,passwhere logic belongs = rejected. - No charting libraries. Agent 3 uses inline SVG or CSS. No recharts, no chart.js.
- No import-that-doesn't-exist. If you import from a file that isn't on disk, you fail.
- Error handling is mandatory. yfinance down? StockgridClient timeout? Code handles it gracefully.
- Log with
logging, notprint. Every agent useslogger = logging.getLogger(__name__). - Write your status update in the designated block. If no update = no review.
- The snapshot schema is law. Every field listed must be present. Missing field = rejected.
- "Already done" without proof = rejected. Paste the grep/curl output or it didn't happen.
- One
tsc --noEmitis not enough. You must ALSO run the grep verification commands. - Each Wave must be complete before starting the next. No cherry-picking easy tasks from Wave 3 while Wave 2 is open.
- If a verification command returns 0 results, you are NOT done. Read the verification spec again.
