+# Consistency Auditor Memory
+
+## Last Audit: 2026-02-11 (Hourly Trading Update)
+
+### CRITICAL FINDINGS
+
+#### 1. Cooldown Timer Missing in Live Bot ❌
+**Location**: backtester.rs has it (lines 40, 63, 174-179, 275-281), bot.rs missing
+**Issue**: Backtester prevents whipsaw re-entry for REENTRY_COOLDOWN_BARS (7 bars) after stop-loss. Live bot can immediately re-buy on same cycle.
+**Impact**: Live bot will churn more, potentially re-entering failed positions immediately. Backtest vs live divergence.
+**Fix Required**: Add cooldown_timers HashMap to TradingBot, track in execute_sell, check in execute_buy.
+
+#### 2. Gradual Ramp-Up Missing in Live Bot ⚠️
+**Location**: backtester.rs has it (lines 42, 64, 196-198, 226, 508), bot.rs missing
+**Issue**: Backtester limits new positions to 1 per bar during first RAMPUP_PERIOD_BARS (30 bars). Live bot could deploy all capital on first cycle.
+**Impact**: Live initial deployment faster/riskier than backtest simulates.
+**Fix Required**: Add new_positions_this_cycle counter to TradingBot, reset each cycle, check in execute_buy.
+
+### Confirmed Consistent (2026-02-11)
+
+#### Core Trading Logic ✅
+- **Drawdown halt**: Time-based (35 bars), bot uses trading_cycle_count vs backtester current_bar (equivalent)
+- **bars_held increment**: Both at START of trading cycle/bar (bot:660-663, bt:531-534) — previous bug FIXED
+- **Position sizing**: Identical ATR volatility adjustment, confidence scaling (0.7+0.3*conf), caps
+- **Stop-loss**: Identical 2.5x ATR + 4% hard cap + fixed fallback
+- **Trailing stop**: Identical 1.5x ATR activation/distance + fixed fallback
+- **Time exit**: Identical 30-bar threshold
+- **Sector limits**: Both max 2 per sector (was 3 in daily)
+- **Max positions**: Both 5 concurrent (was 8 in daily)
+- **Config constants**: All parameters identical (verified config.rs)
+
+#### Warmup Requirements ✅
+**Hourly min_bars()**: max(35 MACD, 15 RSI, 100 EMA, 28 ADX, 20 BB, 63 momentum) + 5 = 105 bars
+Both fetch ~158 calendar days for hourly. MACD needs slow+signal (26+9=35), ADX needs 2x (14*2=28), all accounted for.
+
+#### Expected Differences ✅
+- **Slippage**: Backtester 10 bps, live actual fills (correct)
+- **Already-holding**: Different APIs, same logic
+
+### Config (2026-02-11 Hourly)
+- RISK_PER_TRADE: 0.75% (was 1% daily)
+- ATR_STOP_MULTIPLIER: 2.5x (was 2.0x daily)
+- ATR_TRAIL_MULTIPLIER: 1.5x
+- ATR_TRAIL_ACTIVATION_MULTIPLIER: 1.5x
+- MAX_CONCURRENT_POSITIONS: 5 (was 8 daily)
+- MAX_SECTOR_POSITIONS: 2 (was 3 daily)
+- TIME_EXIT_BARS: 30 (~4.3 days)
+- REENTRY_COOLDOWN_BARS: 7 (~1 day)
+- RAMPUP_PERIOD_BARS: 30 (~4.3 days)
+- DRAWDOWN_HALT_BARS: 35 (~5 days)
+- Partial exits REMOVED (was destroying avg win/loss ratio)
+- Take profit REMOVED (was capping winners)
+
+### Hourly Indicator Periods
+RSI/MACD/ADX/BB/ATR: Standard periods (14, 12/26/9, etc) — NOT 7x scaled
+Momentum: 63 (~9 days), EMA: 20/50/100. Uses textbook periods appropriate for hourly bars.

+# Quant-Rust-Strategist Memory
+
+## Architecture Overview
+- 50-symbol universe across 9 sectors (MAG7, semis, growth tech, healthcare, fintech, financials, industrials, consumer, energy)
+- Hybrid momentum + mean-reversion strategy via composite signal scoring in `generate_signal()`
+- Backtester restricts buys to top 8 momentum stocks; live mode also uses TOP_MOMENTUM_COUNT=8
+- Signal thresholds: StrongBuy>=6.0, Buy>=4.5, Sell<=-3.5, StrongSell<=-6.0
+
+## Critical Finding: Hourly Mode is Catastrophically Broken (2026-02-11)
+See [hourly-backtest-analysis-2026-02-11.md](hourly-backtest-analysis-2026-02-11.md) for full details.
+
+### Root Causes (Priority Order)
+1. **7x period scaling creates absurd indicator requirements**: RSI=98, MACD slow=182, EMA trend=350, momentum=441. min_bars()~450. Most indicators are NaN for majority of the data.
+2. **Drawdown halt at 10% is terminal for short backtests**: After -11.44% in 8 days, system sat in 100% cash for 2+ months (Nov 21 to Feb 11). This made the loss permanent.
+3. **Churning in opening days**: MU 3x, AMD 3x, GOOGL 3x in first 8 days. Cooldown helps but insufficient when all indicators trigger simultaneously on warmup.
+4. **IEX feed**: `feed=iex` gives thin volume, unreliable for hourly OHLCV.
+5. **Concentrated sector exposure**: MU, AMD, ASML all semis.
+
+### Previous Finding: Daily Churning (also 2026-02-11)
+See [backtest-analysis-2026-02-11.md](backtest-analysis-2026-02-11.md) for daily mode analysis.
+- 12 whipsaw events cost $7,128, 16 same-day round-trips at 0% win rate
+- Fixed by: cooldown timer (7 bars), ATR stop widened to 2.0x, buy threshold raised to 4.5
+
+## Key Parameters (config.rs) - Current as of 2026-02-11
+- ATR Stop: 2.0x | ATR Trail: 1.5x distance, 1.5x activation
+- Max-loss cap: 4% | Position sizing: 1% risk / ATR_stop_pct, capped at 22%
+- Max 6 positions, max 2 per sector | Drawdown halt: 10% | Time exit: 30 bars
+- Cooldown: 7 bars | Slippage: 10bps
+- Hourly mode: ALL indicator periods multiplied by 7 (HOURS_PER_DAY=7)
+
+## Build Notes
+- `cargo build --release` compiles clean (only pre-existing dead_code warnings)
+- No tests exist

+# 1-Month Hourly Backtest Analysis - 2026-02-11
+
+## Summary Results
+- Return: +0.61% ($611.10 on $100k) | CAGR: 7.58%
+- Sharpe: -0.15 (reported), annualized from hourly: 0.26
+- Max Drawdown: -7.52% | Sortino: negative
+- 75 trades: 33W/42L (44% win rate)
+- Avg win: $548.85 vs Avg loss: -$416.69 (1.32:1 ratio -- good)
+- Profit factor: 1.03
+
+## Problem #1: Whipsaw/Churning (Biggest PnL Drain)
+No cooldown mechanism exists. Phase 1 sells, Phase 2 rebuys same bar.
+- 12 identified whipsaw events: -$7,128
+- 16 same-day roundtrips: 0% win rate, -$7,966
+- 62 sell-then-rebuy events; 84% rebought within 1% of sell price
+- 55 same-day sell-rebuy events
+
+### Worst offenders:
+- MU: 17 round-trips, 10 losses, 7 wins. Net +$2,062 vs +14% simple hold
+- ASML: 9 trades, 6 losses. Net +$271 vs +7.9% simple hold
+- LLY: 7 trades, 5 losses. Net -$1,450 (LLY was in downtrend)
+
+## Problem #2: ATR Stop Too Tight (1.5x)
+23 trades exited >2% loss = $12,882 total loss. Many immediately re-entered.
+For hourly bars, 1.5x ATR is roughly 1-sigma noise. Getting stopped on noise.
+
+## Problem #3: Excessive Turnover
+- Total capital deployed: $1.21M in 22 trading days = 12.1x monthly turnover
+- Annualized: 145x. Slippage: $2,420 (2.4% of capital).
+- Even at 10 bps, this is destructive. Real-world slippage may be higher.
+
+## Problem #4: Overnight Gap Exposure
+- Two gap-downs >1%: total -$4,360
+- No overnight risk management (positions held through weekend gaps)
+
+## Holding Period vs Win Rate
+- 0-2h: 6 trades, 0% win rate, -$3,318
+- 2-7h: 10 trades, 0% win rate, -$4,648
+- 14-35h: 19 trades, 32% win rate, -$2,762
+- 35-70h: 11 trades, 46% win rate, -$585
+- 70h+: 29 trades, 76% win rate, +$11,923
+
+## Sector Concentration
+- Healthcare: 22 trades, 41% WR, -$2,985 (LLY and ISRG biggest losers)
+- Semis: 26 trades, 39% WR, +$2,333 (MU volume, but churning drag)
+- Industrials: 10 trades, 60% WR, +$984 (CAT 100% WR)
+
+## Position Count vs Returns
+- 5 positions: -4.89% total (worst)
+- 7-8 positions: +2.4% and +1.8% (better)
+- Being invested more fully correlated with better returns in uptrending market

+
+## Root Cause #1: Absurd Indicator Period Scaling (FUNDAMENTAL)
+
+The 7x multiplier creates these hourly indicator periods:
+- RSI: 14 * 7 = 98 bars (14 trading days)
+- MACD fast: 12 * 7 = 84 bars
+- MACD slow: 26 * 7 = 182 bars (26 trading days)
+- MACD signal: 9 * 7 = 63 bars
+- EMA short: 9 * 7 = 63 bars
+- EMA long: 21 * 7 = 147 bars
+- EMA trend: 50 * 7 = 350 bars (50 trading days)
+- ADX: 14 * 7 = 98 bars
+- Bollinger: 20 * 7 = 140 bars
+- Volume MA: 20 * 7 = 140 bars
+- Momentum (ROC): 63 * 7 = 441 bars (63 trading days)
+
+min_bars() = max(182+63, 98+1, 350, 98*2, 140, 441) + 5 = 446 bars
+
+This means the system needs ~64 trading days (446/7) of WARMUP before it can even produce a valid signal. For a 3-month backtest, that eats most of the data. The indicators that DO produce values are extremely slow-moving and unresponsive to hourly price action.
+
+### Why 7x is Wrong
+The daily parameters (RSI-14, MACD 12/26/9) are designed for daily price action noise. On hourly bars, there are 6.5-7 bars per day, so naively you'd think 7x preserves the "look-back in days." But this ignores that:
+1. Hourly bars have fundamentally different noise characteristics (mean-reverting intraday patterns)
+2. A 98-period RSI on hourly bars is insanely slow -- it would take a massive multi-week move to push RSI to oversold/overbought
+3. MACD with 182-period slow EMA cannot detect hourly momentum shifts
+4. The strategy's edge is supposed to be momentum + pullback detection. A 441-bar momentum period on hourly data measures ~3-month trends, not tactical momentum.
+
+## Root Cause #2: Drawdown Halt is Terminal
+
+MAX_DRAWDOWN_HALT = 10%, MAX_DRAWDOWN_RESUME = 5%.
+
+Once drawdown exceeds 10%, the system stops buying. It only resumes when drawdown recovers to 5%. But with 0 positions, there's no way to recover! The portfolio sits in cash forever.
+
+This is a logical impossibility: you can't recover from drawdown without taking new positions, but the system won't take new positions until drawdown recovers.
+
+## Root Cause #3: Max Loss Cap Not Working
+
+AMD lost -6.2%, -7.6%, -5.8% in three trades despite MAX_LOSS_PCT = 4%.
+MU lost -6.6% in one trade.
+
+The check_stop_loss_take_profit function checks `pnl_pct <= -MAX_LOSS_PCT` but this only triggers on the NEXT bar after the loss occurs. If a stock gaps down or moves 6% in one hourly bar, the 4% cap is breached before the check runs. On hourly timeframe, overnight gaps can easily exceed 4%.
+
+## Root Cause #4: All Indicators Fire Simultaneously at Warmup Edge
+
+When indicators first become valid (right after the warmup period), all the EMA crossovers, MACD crossovers, etc. fire at once. This creates a burst of buy signals, putting 95% of capital at risk immediately. The system went from 0 to 5 positions in 3 hours on Nov 12.
+
+## Proposed Fixes
+
+### Fix 1: Proper Hourly Indicator Periods (NOT 7x scaling)
+Use empirically appropriate periods for hourly timeframe:
+- RSI: 14 (same as daily -- 14 hourly bars captures 2 trading days of momentum)
+- MACD: 12/26/9 (same as daily -- these already work on any timeframe)
+- EMA short: 20, EMA long: 50, EMA trend: 100 (~14 trading days)
+- ADX: 14
+- Bollinger: 20
+- Volume MA: 20
+- ATR: 14
+- Momentum ROC: 63 (same as daily -- 63 hourly bars = ~9 trading days)
+
+Rationale: Most technical indicators were designed for BARS, not calendar time. RSI-14 means "14 bars of price action" regardless of timeframe. The 7x scaling was conceptually wrong -- it assumed indicators need calendar-day equivalence, but they need bar-count equivalence.
+
+### Fix 2: Remove or Redesign Drawdown Halt for Backtesting
+Options:
+a) Remove drawdown halt entirely in backtesting (it's more appropriate for live trading where you want manual review)
+b) Make drawdown halt time-based: halt for N bars, then auto-resume
+c) Change to a gradual reduction: reduce position size by 50% instead of going to 0
+
+### Fix 3: Limit Initial Deployment Speed
+Don't go from 0 to 5 positions in one bar. Add a "ramp-up" period where max positions increases gradually (e.g., 1 per day for first week).
+
+### Fix 4: Tighter Max Loss Cap with Intra-Bar Checks
+For hourly mode, use tighter max loss (3%) or check at open price vs entry to catch gap losses earlier.
+
+### Fix 5: Use SIP Feed Instead of IEX
+Change `feed=iex` to `feed=sip` for consolidated market data. IEX-only volume is unreliable for volume-based signals.
