# 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
```

## Core Components (All Implemented)

### 1. Data Collection Pipeline

**WebSocket Client** (`websocket_client.py`)
- Connects to Hyperliquid WebSocket API
- Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff (1s to 15min)
- Handles multiple candle formats
- Health monitoring and connection metrics

**Candle Buffer** (`candle_buffer.py`)
- Thread-safe circular buffer (1000 max size)
- Async batch flushing (30s interval or 100 candles)
- Gap detection in candle sequences
- Statistics tracking for monitoring

**Database Manager** (`database.py`)
- asyncpg connection pool (min: 2, max: 20)
- Batch inserts with conflict resolution
- Gap detection using window functions
- Health statistics queries

### 2. Data Processing

**Custom Timeframe Generator** (`custom_timeframe_generator.py`)
- Standard intervals: 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 12h, 1d, 3d, 1w, 1M
- Custom intervals: **37m**, **148m** (Fibonacci-based)
- Real-time aggregation from 1m candles
- Historical backfill capability
- Integrity verification

**Indicator Engine** (`indicator_engine.py`)
- Stateless design (same code for live and backtest)
- Configurable indicators via dataclasses
- Currently implemented: **SMA (Simple Moving Average)**
- Indicators configured:
  - MA44 (44-period SMA) on 37m, 148m, 1d
  - MA125 (125-period SMA) on 37m, 148m, 1d
- Batch computation for historical data

### 3. Decision Making

**Brain** (`brain.py`)
- Strategy-based evaluation system

  - MA125Strategy: Long when Price > MA125, Short when Price < MA125

**Strategy System** (`strategies/`)
- Base class with abstract interface
- Signal types: OPEN_LONG, OPEN_SHORT, CLOSE_LONG, CLOSE_SHORT, HOLD
- Confidence scoring (0.0 - 1.0)
- Position-aware decision making

### 4. Backtesting & Simulation

**Simulator** (`simulator.py`)
- Account management with leverage support
- Trade tracking with P&L calculation
- Fee calculation (maker/taker)
- Equity mark-to-market updates
- Statistics generation (win rate, total P&L, etc.)

**Backtester** (`backtester.py`)

- UUID-based run tracking
- Progress logging
- Results storage in database
- CLI interface for running backtests

### 5. API & Dashboard

**FastAPI Server** (`api/server.py`)
Endpoints:
