BTC Accumulation Bot - Implementation Summary

Current Status: ✅ CORE SYSTEM COMPLETE

What We've Built

This is a production-ready cryptocurrency trading data collection and backtesting system for cbBTC on Hyperliquid exchange.

---

Architecture Overview

Live Data Flow:
Hyperliquid WS → WebSocket Client → Candle Buffer → TimescaleDB 
                                                        ↓
Custom TF Generator → Indicator Engine (MA44, MA125) → Brain → Decisions
                                                        ↓
Backtest Flow:
Historical DB Data → Backtester → Same Indicator Engine/Brain → Simulated Trades

• Gap detection in candle sequences
• Statistics tracking for monitoring

Database Manager (database.py)

• asyncpg connection pool (min: 2, max: 20)

3. Decision Making

Brain (brain.py)

• Strategy-based evaluation system

Strategy System (strategies/)

• Base class with abstract interface

Database Schema (TimescaleDB)

Tables

candles - OHLCV data

• Supports conflict resolution

indicators - Computed technical indicators

• (time, symbol, interval, indicator_name) UNIQUE
• Stores value and parameters (JSONB)

decisions - Trading signals

• (time, symbol, interval, backtest_id)
• Stores indicator_snapshot (JSONB) for audit
• Distinguishes live vs backtest decisions

backtest_runs - Backtest metadata

• (id, strategy, config, results)
• JSON config and results storage

data_quality - Quality issues log

• Tracks gaps, anomalies, validation failures
