Beta is for API testing only. Scale scheduler, ingestion, parser,
extractor, aggregation, recommendation, broker-adapter, and
lake-publisher to 0 replicas. Blank out Polygon and Alpaca keys.
Infra secrets (postgres, redis, minio) kept so API services work.
Beta is for API testing only. Blanked out Polygon/Alpaca/Ollama
credentials, set OLLAMA_BASE_URL to localhost:99999, and scaled
scheduler/ingestion/parser/extractor/aggregation/recommendation/
broker-adapter/lake-publisher to 0 replicas.
- All paper stage credentials now in values-paper.yaml so ArgoCD
renders them correctly on every sync (no more empty secrets)
- Added seed-if-empty init container to scheduler: runs the seed
script if the companies table is empty after migrations
The extraction queue had 3000+ SEC filings backed up with a single
extractor pod processing them at 10-115s each. Ollama handles
concurrent requests so multiple extractor pods can share the GPU.
The trading engine network policy only allowed egress on ports 443
(HTTPS) and 53 (DNS). Gmail SMTP uses port 587 (STARTTLS), causing
'Network is unreachable' when sending notifications.
Replaced the Gmail API (OAuth2) notification delivery with plain
SMTP using a Gmail app password. Much simpler setup — no Google
Cloud project, no OAuth2 flow, no extra dependencies.
- Rewrote _send_gmail() to use smtplib with smtp.gmail.com:587 TLS
- Added stonks-gmail-secrets to Helm chart (GMAIL_SENDER,
GMAIL_RECIPIENT, GMAIL_APP_PASSWORD)
- Added gmail secret to trading-engine deployment
- Updated runmefirst.sh to read gmail.app from kube dir
- Sender/recipient: celes@celestium.life
The ingestion worker creates an AlpacaBrokerAdapter but the pod
didn't have BROKER_API_KEY/BROKER_API_SECRET env vars, causing
401 Unauthorized on every broker source fetch. Added
stonks-broker-secrets to the ingestion service's secrets list.
Phase 2 of the autonomous trading engine:
- Replace start()/stop() stubs with real async implementations
- Decision loop: polls recommendations from PostgreSQL, deduplicates
via Redis, evaluates through the full pipeline, submits orders to
stonks:queue:broker_orders
- Stop-loss monitor: fetches prices from Polygon API, checks crossings,
submits immediate sell orders, safety sell after 15 min without data
- Performance loop: computes metrics every 5 min during market hours,
persists daily snapshots at market close
- Risk tier scheduler: evaluates daily at 16:00 ET, persists tier changes
- Rebalance scheduler: evaluates Monday 09:45 ET, respects circuit breaker
- Notification dispatch: SNS + Gmail with rate limiting and retry
- Backtest replay: fetches historical data, simulates decisions, persists
- Real asyncpg/redis connections in FastAPI lifespan (graceful degradation)
- Migration 019: enable paper trading with conservative tier, 5 cap
- Added max_open_positions to TradingConfig with env var loading
- Phase 2 tasks added to autonomous-trading-engine spec
