Implementation Plan: Autonomous Trading Engine

Overview

This plan implements a fully autonomous trading engine as a new service (services/trading/) that consumes recommendations from the existing three-layer signal aggregation pipeline, applies confidence-based position sizing with reserve pool management, enforces dynamic stop-loss/take-profit levels, manages circuit breakers, and submits orders through the existing Broker Service queue. The implementation extends existing services (broker_service, recommendation, risk engine, query API, dashboard) without replacing them. Tasks are ordered so each step builds on the previous, with property-based tests validating core computation logic early.

  • Frontend components use the existing React 19 + TypeScript + Tailwind + TanStack + Recharts stack
  • Dashboard proxy needs /trading/trading-engine:8000 added to nginx.conf

Phase 2: Live Wiring and Paper Trading

Overview

Phase 1 (Tasks 126) implemented all pure computation modules, property tests, FastAPI endpoints, Helm chart, and frontend panels. Phase 2 replaces the lifecycle stubs in services/trading/engine.py with real async implementations, wires all sub-components into live loops backed by PostgreSQL and Redis, adds notification dispatch and backtest replay, connects real database pools in the FastAPI lifespan, enables paper trading configuration, and adds integration tests for the live wiring.

Tasks

  • 27. Wire the live decision loop in services/trading/engine.py

    • 27.1 Replace start() stub with real async implementation

      • Load trading_engine_config from PostgreSQL via self.pool
      • Load active risk tier parameters from risk_tier_history (latest entry) or fall back to config default

      • Populate self.portfolio_state with loaded data

      • If portfolio state cannot be loaded, enter degraded state (readiness probe unhealthy), retry every 30 seconds
      • Requirements: 1.6, 18.5
    • 27.2 Replace stop() stub with real async shutdown

      • For each recommendation, check Redis deduplication key stonks:dedupe:trading:{recommendation_id} (24h TTL) — skip if already set

      • Call self.evaluate_recommendation() (existing synchronous method) with current portfolio state, risk tier, circuit breaker state, correlation matrix, and earnings calendar

Phase 2 Notes

  • Phase 2 tasks build on the completed Phase 1 pure computation modules — no Phase 1 code is rewritten, only the lifecycle stubs are replaced
  • All async loops use while self.running pattern with asyncio.sleep() for clean shutdown
  • Database connections are created in the FastAPI lifespan and passed to the engine — no global connection state
  • Integration tests use mocked database pools and Redis clients to avoid requiring live infrastructure
  • Paper trading starts with conservative settings (risk_tier=conservative, absolute_position_cap=$25, max_open_positions=5) to validate behavior before scaling up
  • Tasks 36.x (integration tests) are marked optional (*) — they can be skipped for faster deployment but are recommended
