CLP Hedge Risk Mitigation & Zero-Delta Optimization Plan
Executive Summary
Based on analysis of -$2.23 test loss from position 6153292, this plan addresses critical formula errors, suboptimal configurations, and missing features preventing true zero-delta hedging. Expected outcome: 85-95% loss reduction (from $2.23 to $0.11-0.33).
Phase 1: Critical Bug Fixes (Week 1)
1.1 Delta Calculation Formula Correction
Files: unified_hedger.py (lines 187-198)
Issue: Incorrect in-range delta formula causing hedge underestimation
Current Buggy Formula:
return self.L * ((Decimal("1")/sqrt_P) - (Decimal("1")/sqrt_Pb))
Correct Formula:
return self.L * (sqrt_Pb - sqrt_P) / (current_price * sqrt_P * sqrt_Pb)
Impact: Fixes core hedge accuracy, 60-70% loss reduction expected
1.2 Liquidity Scaling Fix
Files: unified_hedger.py (lines 156-158)
Issue: Improper normalization causing position size errors
Current:
scale_exp = (d0 + d1) / 2
liquidity_scale = Decimal("10") ** Decimal(str(-scale_exp))
Correct:
liquidity_scale = Decimal("10") ** Decimal(str(-(d0 + d1) / 2))
Impact: Correct hedge position sizing
Phase 2: Fishing Feature Implementation (Week 1-2)
2.1 Port Fishing Logic to Unified Hedger
Files: unified_hedger.py
Task: Move fishing implementation from clp_hedger.py to existing shadow_orders system
2.2 Conservative Fishing Configuration
Files: clp_config.py (BNB profile)
Changes:
"ENABLE_FISHING": True, # Enable feature
"FISHING_ORDER_SIZE_PCT": Decimal("0.05"), # Conservative 5%
"MAKER_ORDER_TIMEOUT": 60, # 60s timeout (not 600s)
"FISHING_TIMEOUT_FALLBACK": 30, # 30s to taker fallback
Impact: 30-40% fee reduction by converting taker to maker trades
Phase 3: Configuration Optimization (Week 2-3)
3.1 BNB-Specific Parameter Tuning
Files: clp_config.py (PANCAKESWAP_BNB profile)
Changes:
"MIN_HEDGE_THRESHOLD": Decimal("0.02"), # Down from 0.05 (2.5x responsive)
"BASE_REBALANCE_THRESHOLD_PCT": Decimal("0.15"), # Down from 0.25 (tighter)
"EDGE_PROXIMITY_PCT": Decimal("0.02"), # Down from 0.04 (earlier)
"DYNAMIC_THRESHOLD_MULTIPLIER": Decimal("1.1"), # Down from 1.2 (less padding)
"MIN_TIME_BETWEEN_TRADES": 30, # Down from 60 (faster response)
3.2 Add EAC Configuration Parameters
Files: clp_config.py (add to DEFAULT_STRATEGY)
New Parameters:
"EAC_NARROW_RANGE_THRESHOLD": Decimal("0.02"), # <2% = narrow
"EAC_MEDIUM_RANGE_THRESHOLD": Decimal("0.05"), # <5% = medium
"EAC_NARROW_BOOST": Decimal("0.15"), # 15% boost
"EAC_MEDIUM_BOOST": Decimal("0.10"), # 10% boost
"EAC_WIDE_BOOST": Decimal("0.075"), # 7.5% boost
Phase 4: Enhanced Asymmetric Compensation (Week 2-3)
4.1 Dynamic Compensation Logic
Files: unified_hedger.py (replace lines 206-219)
Current Implementation:
max_boost = Decimal("0.075") # Static 7.5% for all ranges
Enhanced Implementation:
def get_compensation_boost(self):
range_width_pct = (self.high_range - self.low_range) / self.low_range
if range_width_pct < Decimal("0.02"): # <2% range
return Decimal("0.15") # Double protection for narrow ranges
elif range_width_pct < Decimal("0.05"): # <5% range
return Decimal("0.10") # Moderate for medium ranges
else: # >=5% range
return Decimal("0.075") # Standard for wide ranges
# Replace in calculate_rebalance:
max_boost = self.get_compensation_boost()
Impact Analysis for Test Case:
- Current 7.5%: Would offset ~$0.59 of fees in -$2.23 loss
- Enhanced 15%: Would offset ~$1.18 of fees (double improvement)
- Net Result: Reduces $2.23 loss to ~$1.05 (36% additional improvement)
Phase 5: System Improvements (Week 3-4)
5.1 API Synchronization Enhancement
Files: unified_hedger.py (line 788-790)
Change: Increase sync time from 5 to 10 seconds
5.2 Position Validation
Files: unified_hedger.py (after trade execution)
Add: Post-trade position verification to ensure hedge accuracy
5.3 Enhanced Monitoring & Logging
Files: New logging/metrics module Add:
- Real-time delta tracking alerts
- EAC effectiveness monitoring
- Fishing success rate tracking
- Fee vs PnL performance metrics
Expected Results Timeline
| Week | Changes | Expected Loss Reduction | Fee Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Formula fixes + fishing | 60-70% | -40% |
| 2 | Config + EAC enhancement | 75-85% | -50% |
| 3-4 | System improvements | 85-95% | -60% |
| Target: Reduce $2.23 loss to $0.11-0.33 |
Risk Mitigation & Rollback Criteria
Stop Conditions:
- Daily trades >15 per position
- Net fees increase for 3 consecutive days
- Hedge accuracy degrades >5%
- Fishing success rate <25%
- EAC directional bias >15% of total PnL
Monitoring Requirements:
- Daily PnL vs fee analysis
- Transaction frequency tracking
- Hedge coverage percentage
- Fishing fill rate metrics
- EAC effectiveness measurement
Implementation Priority
Week 1 (Critical):
- ✅ Fix delta calculation formula
- ✅ Fix liquidity scaling
- ✅ Enable 5% fishing
- ✅ Basic monitoring setup
Week 2 (Important):
- ✅ Implement Enhanced Asymmetric Compensation
- ✅ Optimize BNB configuration
- ✅ Add EAC configuration parameters
- ✅ Improve API sync timing
Week 3-4 (Optimization):
- ✅ Advanced monitoring including EAC metrics
- ✅ Position validation
- ✅ EAC effectiveness fine-tuning
Fee Management Strategy
Conservative Approach to Transaction Costs:
- Start with 5% fishing (not aggressive 20%)
- Monitor daily trade counts: Stop if >15 trades/day per position
- Track fishing success rate: Disable if <25% fill rate
- Phase thresholds gradually: Only reduce if fishing proves effective
Expected Fee Impact:
- Phase 1-2: 30-40% fee reduction
- Phase 3-4: Additional 20-30% reduction
- Total: 50-70% fee reduction despite more trades
