feat(chart): signal marks become price LEVELS at the trigger, not arrows beside the candle
User request: 'move from arrows on lows and highs to small horizontal lines at the actual prices the entry/exit would trigger, just a bit larger than the candles. dark green for buy, dark red for sell.' Every mark is now an OBJ_TREND segment with both anchors at one price and both rays off, spanning 1.3 bar widths, drawn at the bar's CLOSE - the price a market order actually fires at, and the exact entry TripleBarrierLabel assumes. It used to sit on the candle's LOW for a Buy and its HIGH for a Sell: prices the trade never touches, picked so an arrow glyph would clear the candle. The tooltip now carries that price too. COLOUR NOW MEANS DIRECTION AND ONLY DIRECTION on every layer (dark green / dark red). Layer moves to width+style - the traded vote is solid and thick and drawn in front, a single model's raw opinion is thin, dotted and behind the candles - which keeps the distinction the old palette existed to draw (a model's opinion must never read as a trade) while freeing colour to say one thing consistently. Consequences handled, all of them the same 'a typed scan went blind' failure: - SaveChartSignals filtered OBJPROP_TYPE == OBJ_ARROW and read OBJPROP_ARROWCODE. It now filters OBJ_TREND and recovers direction from the colour. The sidecar keeps the old 217/218 numbers as its buy/sell token deliberately, so existing .arrows files still load. - AdvanceChartSignalRestore now rebuilds through the SAME creation point the live path uses, so a restored mark and a fresh one are identical objects. - The rescan-scoped delete enumerated ObjectsTotal(OBJ_ARROW) - retyped, or it silently deletes nothing. - ApplySignalsVisibility enumerated OBJ_ARROW with NO prefix filter. Under the new type that would have hidden and shown THE USER'S OWN trend lines on every Hide/Show click; it is now prefix-scoped. The old type was uncommon enough on a real chart to mask the missing check - trend lines are the most hand-drawn object there is. - DrawObject's high/low parameters are gone (6 call sites pass m_Close instead), so no caller can hand it a price it no longer draws at. - Fixed a pre-existing stale comment that still described the purge sweep as OBJ_ARROW-only three lines above the note explaining it had been widened to every type.

feat(ensemble): per-NN inputs replace the preset selector - the meta head becomes the vote's gate
User design (2026-08-19): 'remove the enum menu that selects neural networks... individual inputs for every NN just like classic signals... the META NN should be integrated into the voting decision pipeline when enabled... as a bonus meta labelling is applied to enabled NNs.' - AI_CHOICE is GONE (tombstoned per the stale-.set doctrine). Use_MLP/Use_CONV/Use_LSTM/ Use_CONVLSTM are ordinary bools like the classic votes; the ensemble arithmetic adapts to any subset because the consensus divisor is the enabled capable weight. Two or more enabled = ensemble (|ENS1 token + joint gate, exactly the old AI_HYBRID fingerprints, so existing weight files keep loading); one = the old solo preset; none = classic-only. - Use_MetaLabeling un-couples META from the direction NNs (the old selector made them mutually exclusive). S3 ships: CSignalMETA::LiveMetaGate scores each vote-cleared entry (shared window at bar 1 + proposal descriptor: side, net vote, live geometry, spread/ATR; pattern one-hot ZEROED - ranking, not calibrated probability, documented in the body) and vetoes below the cost-adjusted break-even. Entries only; fail-open everywhere, loudly. - COEXISTENCE HAZARDS closed: VoteCapableWeight()=0 and ProspectiveVote()=false for the meta target - solo-only until today, a trained META would otherwise sit in the consensus divisor as a permanent abstainer and shrink every vote by its module weight. - CERTIFIED == TRADED: the ensemble era verdict replays the identical veto through the same g_warriorMetaGate pointer over its OOS fired bars (bar re-resolved from the row's own time; fail-open counted as fires and reported: 'metaGate: N approved, M vetoed, K unscored'). The overlay deliberately does NOT replay it (veto-filter-in-replay class, calendar-cliff precedent) - documented at the sweep site. Solo charts' own gate does not model the veto - the standing solo-gate caveat, documented at the input. - DB continuity: the pattern/journal DB fingerprint's first slot was (int)AIType; DbLegacyAiSlot() maps every legacy-expressible config to its OLD value (new 2-3 member subsets get 100+bitmask, outside the legacy range) so no existing database re-keys. filterID becomes the enabled roster via one EnabledNNSummary(). - HUD: the meta line shows the gate (armed/(trn), last P vs BE, ok/veto tally); the armed/disarmed announcement fires on state change via one latch (MetaGateArmedNow), not only when an entry happens to be proposed.

feat(consistency): the five review flaws fixed - training wears the live constraints, the gate wears the policy
1. Labels and the exit simulator go through the broker's stop-distance check: risk/reward widen to SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL exactly as TCAdjustStops does at order time - the M5/tight-ATR case where live trades ran wider geometry than training measured. Current stops level stands in for history (like the spread); measured quantity, so it does not key the fingerprint. 2. The Intelligent drift verdict moved into RefreshDriftVerdict(), which RESCANS the label cache and now runs at every era end beside RankTiersFromOos - era-cadence instead of waiting for rare full rebuilds. Prints only on change. 3. Session filter is any-broker: sessions defined on their financial centres' civil clocks (London 08-16 Europe/London, NY 08-17 America/New_York, Tokyo 09-18 Asia/Tokyo), converted to UTC by each centre's own computed DST rule (EU last-Sun-Mar/Oct, US 2nd-Sun-Mar/1st-Sun-Nov), then to broker time by the MEASURED server-vs-GMT offset (half-hour brokers included). Windows may wrap midnight in broker time - the interval test handles it. Replaces the EET-hardcoded anchors, which were correct on exactly one broker and got Tokyo wrong by an hour each European summer. 4. The current-session-table-for-history caveat resolved by analysis: the bars bound the error - a too-late assumed close meets no bars (zero error), a too-early one truncates conservatively (<=1h, never optimistic, cannot manufacture edge). Documented at the site. 5. The ensemble deploy gate mirrors the direction policy: blocked-side fires are not fired bars (certified == traded), the zero-skill reference uses only ACHIEVABLE baselines (always-short is not a strategy a long-only book can run), and one-sidedness BY POLICY is not degeneracy - the two-sided requirement applies only when both sides are allowed. Sell predictions keep their other jobs (exit triggers, consensus dilution) untouched. NOT COMPILED - user compiles in MetaEditor. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

refactor(time): broker time throughout - and the GMT DB basis was already a live bug
User decision: "stick to the broker's time throughout the codebase and analysis, session filter, programmed close time etc". Investigation found the GMT choice was not just inconsistent but broken: live journaling stamped DB rows with TimeGMT() while the online-learning backfill stamped them with BAR time (server) - two clocks ~3h apart in the same column. The newest-row duplicate guard compares them on one axis, so a live row landing within the offset after a backfill row was silently rejected as "outdated". dbVersion 3.0 -> 4.0 wipes the Signals store: the only honest reset for a mixed-basis corpus. - Direction()'s clock (stamps every journaled row, keys the per-second vote window): TimeGMT -> TimeCurrent, variables renamed so the name cannot lie about the basis. - UpdateSignalsWeights' future-row bound: same clock as the rows. - Session filter: broker-time anchors (London 10-18, NY 15-23:59, Tokyo 2-11). The GMT anchors were backwards for an EET-family broker - such a broker follows European DST, so London is DST-STABLE in broker time and moved twice a year in GMT. Tokyo drifts 1h each European summer (no DST to track) - accepted, smallest error on offer. Also fixed: inTimeInterval ignored its datetime parameter and called TimeGMT fresh - a dead parameter hiding a hardwired clock. - MetaCorpus/SignalMETA: rows pre-4.0 are GMT, broker since; the GMT->server offset scan is KEPT because it measures rather than assumes - it pins 0 on new corpora and still resolves old ones. - AltDataFetch deliberately stays on GMT: FRED/COT/EIA release schedules are external UTC-anchored events; the as-of join maps them onto server bars downstream.

feat(sessions): market-hours entry gate + "Market close" close-all option, both live from the symbol's session table
Two user requests, one authority: SymbolInfoSessionTrade, read fresh on every call so DST and per-symbol schedule changes track themselves. - WarriorMarketOpenNow(): CheckOpenPosition refuses entries outside the symbol's trading sessions (Sunday reopen, index CFDs' daily breaks) - a vote can no longer fire into a closed book and collect a broker error. ENTRIES ONLY: exits, SL/TP and the scheduled close-all stay unguarded - closing risk must never be blocked by a session boundary. - CH_MARKET_CLOSE = 24 (appended, .set-safe): the close-all fires "Close-all minute" minutes before that day's LAST session close. Friday + Market close + xxH05 = flatten 5 minutes before Friday's actual close. Resolved identically in three places: the live executor (CExpertCustom::OnTick), the label walk's vertical barrier (NextScheduledCloseAll - the symbol's CURRENT table stands in for history; MT5 keeps none, and a fixed hour is wrong by more), and the fingerprint (the |CUT: token already carries hour=24, so switching to the dynamic mode re-keys the model exactly like any schedule change). Training itself is deliberately NOT gated on market hours: weekend compute is free and labels only ever exist on real bars - what the session table gates is order placement and, via the close-all barrier, what the labels may count as holdable.

feat(labels): the scheduled close-all is now a vertical barrier in the label walk
User report: "I exit everything on Friday close to avoid weekend swap... if the NN training thinks I hold over the weekend it could produce inaccurate results" - it thought exactly that. TripleBarrierLabel walked its full horizon (64 bars, mean lifespan ~18 H4 bars ~ 3 days) straight through the scheduled flat, scoring trades the deployed EA is guaranteed to have closed on Friday 23:45. SQX applies this rule when building strategies; the EA's own labels did not. NextScheduledCloseAll() mirrors CExpertCustom::OnTick's live check exactly (same three inputs, same -1 disabled sentinels, same CLOSE_EVERYDAY semantics, same server clock). The walk stops at the first bar that does not END by the cutoff - OHLC cannot order the tradable fraction of a partial bar, and ties go to the refusal, as everywhere in this file. An unresolved trade at the cutoff times out to Neutral, exactly as live would flatten it. Excursions, the first-passage ladder and the label lifespan truncate with the walk, so the DERIVED geometry is automatically sized to the tradable window - a target the flat rule never lets price reach stops counting as reachable. The prebuild census now splits timeouts: "horizon too short?" vs "ended by the scheduled close-all" - different questions, different fixes. Schedule disabled = no cutoff, exactly like live. Models trained under weekend-blind labels are fitted to a different target; charts with the close-all enabled (the default) should be reset to retrain under the honest labels.

feat(direction): INTELLIGENT trade direction - the measured drift picks the side(s)
SQX EdgeFinder precedent (user request): adjust for the drift instead of fighting it. The 2026-08-19 telemetry found the models leaning SHORT (Buy recall 21% vs Sell 40%) against a long-favored market (always-long 34.3% vs always-short 29.5% at the adopted geometry). TRADING_DIRECTION gains INTELLIGENT = 3 (appended, explicit value, .set-safe). It resolves at runtime from the label cache's per-side win rates - the Buy/Sell shares ARE the win rates of taking every bar long/short at the REAL stop/target with spread charged. A side is dropped only when BOTH hold: the drift gap clears 2 combined SEs on the overlap-deflated effective sample (EffectiveSampleSize - labels overlap ~18x), AND the weaker side sits below cost-adjusted break-even (a side that still clears costs is kept; drift tilt alone is not a reason to refuse a profitable side). Fails open to BOTH: unmeasured, tiny effective n (<30), insignificant gap, or classic-only charts (no label cache). One resolution point - WarriorEffectiveDirection() - feeds all three gates so they cannot drift apart: CheckOpenLong/Short (live entries), the filtered-view sweep (a blocked side falls into the delete branch, mirroring live), and the vote HUD's "-> TRADE" verdict. The verdict re-derives at every label-cache rebuild, prints only on change, and is computed even when the input is not Intelligent (marked informational). NOT COMPILED - user compiles in MetaEditor.

feat(logs): throttle the settled per-era diagnostics - measured 22MB/9.5h of confirmed-working systems
Measured from the journal (2026-08-19): the era deep-dive line (~2KB) plus the excursion verdict, tier re-rank, calibration move, barrier hold and selection-regressed note each printed EVERY era for EVERY member - ~940 eras/member/day - long after the systems they watch were confirmed working. Yesterday's file was 1.3GB (70% of it the news-filter calendar spam the sweep fix already removed). VerboseMode returns as an INPUT (demoted 2026-08-01 for the marketplace; that track is dead since the 2026-08-16 pivot) and gains a second job: false throttles each settled per-era print to eras 0-3 plus every TRAIN_LOG_EVERY_ERAS-th (25 ~= one deep-dive per ~15min per member); true restores the per-era firehose, flippable live. Never throttled: anything that marks a CHANGE - new bests, restores + eta decays, plateau stage transitions, deploy approvals, warnings, errors, the label-cache/adoption one-shots, and the combined-vote gate line (the active system's primary telemetry, still every era). Semantic fixes over blanket gating: - barrier hold now ARMS silently and prints only when the hold outlasts the 2-min report interval - a brief hold every era is the design, the long hold is the watchdog case the line exists for; - the ensemble deploy REFUSAL prints immediately when its reason changes (that is a finding), on cadence when unchanged; - the filtered-view census prints when its RESULT moves (drawn count, or strongest vote by >=2pp) and at least every 10th sweep.

feat(hud): per-member neuron lines + a vote label that moves as the nets learn
Both 2026-08-19 reports were the same staleness: every source behind the label was an ERA artifact (live cache refills at pass-3 completion, the snapshot copies once per era, dPrevSignal is the frozen purge-band edge bar) - so the readout stepped at era cadence at best, stayed glued to one direction, and lagged the era counter. DisplayInference(): throttled (4s, 1s across an era boundary), SIDE-EFFECT-FREE forward of the current decision bar (window ending on bar 1, same question the live path asks) through the LEARNER net. Batch-norm running stats are bracketed frozen/RESTORED via the new CNet::GetBatchNormFrozen() + CNeuronBatchNormOCL::StatsFrozen() - restore, not unfreeze, because a display tick can land between pass-3 chunks whose whole scan holds them frozen. Writes nothing a trading or training path reads (dPrevSignal, NMS state, tallies, watermarks all untouched; RefreshLatestSignal is not reusable here precisely because it writes all of them). LSTM safe by construction: h/c zeroed per forward. ProspectiveVote() reads the fresh forward as its FIRST source; the era-artifact chain becomes the fallback (meta head, warm-up, window holes). DisplayHudLine(): the reference library's training label, per ensemble member - name, output activations (softmax probs or raw scalar), the decision, its weighted vote (the exact consensus numerator term), era, recent average error, "(trn)" while not vote-capable. Rendered under the vote line in RefreshVoteReadout BEFORE the live-vote defer (member lines are telemetry, not tradable readings), coloured by the member's own direction in muted tones - the vote line's strict green-only-when-it-would-trade rule is untouched.

feat(vote): CONSENSUS arithmetic - agreement is now what the threshold dials
Era-680 report, all three observations one equation: "peak 29, no arrows at
threshold 30" / "at 20, arrows on EVERY bar" / "label at 12 while arrows
everywhere". Under the voters-only divisor, any bar with at least one
directional voter read the weighted mean of the firing tiers' weights - and
once the tiers self-ranked to each model's pooled win rate (~28-31), that
mean was NEAR-CONSTANT regardless of headcount. One member alone: ~29. Four
unanimous: ~29. Min_Vote_Open was a step function around that constant -
above it nothing ever fired, below it everything did - and the label's 12
was a 3v1 split netting through the same divisor. Not three display bugs:
one arithmetic that could not express agreement.
The divisor is now the CAPABLE weight - every filter that could vote,
whether it did or not:
* live (Direction): VoteCapableWeight() - classic pattern ladders always,
veto filters never, AI members once past the same readiness test
LongCondition gates on. A model still training must not dilute an
ensemble it cannot join: four trainees + one deployed model is a solo
chart wearing an ensemble label, and the solo vote reads full strength.
* gate (EnsembleEraVerdict): g_ensVoteWeightSum accumulates for every
member that EVALUATED the bar, Neutral included.
* overlay sweep + prospective readout: weight counts whenever the member
has data; a snapshotted Neutral dilutes.
One arithmetic, four sites, same numbers everywhere.
What the numbers become (four members, w~0.29, tiers~29): unanimous ~29 -
the CEILING, which is the pooled win rate and is what the peak displays;
3-of-4 ~22; 2-of-4 ~14.5; 3v1 ~14.5. Min_Vote_Open 20 now means "roughly
three-quarters of the ensemble's trust agrees, net". It MUST sit below the
ceiling to ever fire - the census/peak states the ceiling.
This is the ensemble the user specified in the original design discussion
("if the perceptron also votes, both together reach the threshold; if
another NN votes the other side, the threshold is not reached") - union
semantics was the pre-ensemble behaviour, kept until measurement showed its
vote magnitude was a constant.
Plus overlay DECLUSTERING, the other half of "arrows on every bar": the
same three NMS rules as the per-member arrows (same-direction runs collapse
to their first bar, cross-direction flicker keeps the stronger side), online
over the sweep's strictly oldest->newest walk. Suppression is a verdict and
deletes a standing arrow; the den==0 no-data skip still never does.

fix(chart): display now reads era-end SNAPSHOTS - the live cache is wiped mid-era
Full-pipeline analysis after "threshold 30, attained often, nothing drawn,
still glued to buy". The log falsified the premise before any code did:
21:40:43 swept 4999, 794 voters, drew 491. Strongest 43.0% vs 30.0%
21:42:07 swept 4999, 0 voters, drew 0
21:51:30 swept 4999, 0 voters, drew 0
21:56:30 swept 4999, 922 voters, drew 382. Strongest 44.0% vs 30.0%
The arrows WERE drawn - 491 of them, then 382 - and then erased. ONE root
cause, three symptoms: every display path read m_arrowSignalCache, which is
wiped to sentinel at each era start and only complete again when pass 3
finishes. With eras at ~30s and a sweep at ~17s:
* ARROW FLICKER: a sweep landing mid-era found no voters anywhere, and its
else-branch deleted the arrow on every voteless bar - erasing the previous
sweep's entire output. The chart cycled populated -> blank -> populated;
the user kept catching the blank phase.
* READOUT GLUE: the newest-cache walk found only sentinel for ~90% of every
era and fell through to dPrevSignal - the frozen purge-band edge bar that
reads Buy.

feat(vote): thresholds become confidence percentages, on ONE scale everywhere
User request: "the entry/exit thresholds are manual numbers, I would like
them to be confidence percentages, so the current 20 would be only 20%
confidence in a profitable trade."
WHY 20 WAS EVER SENSIBLE. Under UseDatabaseRanking both factors of a filter's
contribution are win rates: the pattern weight is that pattern's measured win
rate (UpdateSignalsWeights -> ApplyPatternWeight) and m_weight is the filter's
average win rate over its patterns, /100. Dividing the sum by the VOTER COUNT
therefore produced a mean of PRODUCTS of two win rates - a genuinely
60%-accurate filter firing a 60% pattern scored 0.60 x 60 = 36. The number was
never on a probability scale, so its magnitude meant nothing on its own.
Dividing by Sum(m_weight) instead makes it a weighted MEAN of win rates, which
is a win rate: result = Sum(w_i*p_i)/Sum(w_i). Every voter at 60% now reads 60;
MACD's double-divergence pattern (weight 100) voting alone reads 100. m_weight
stops being a discount on the probability and becomes how much a filter's
opinion COUNTS - which is what a module weight should always have been.
Default Min_Vote_Open 20 -> 50: not a tightening, the same bar re-expressed.
ONE SCALE, EVERYWHERE - the part that made this bigger than a rescale. Three
other places compared against a 0..1 softmax confidence and would each have
become a fresh currency mismatch the moment the input changed meaning:
* the AI early-exit route (LiveSignedConfidence vs m_ai_exit_threshold) now
reads m_lastAiVote - the AI filters' own weighted mean, undiluted by the
classic side, which is the only reason that route exists - against the
same m_threshold_close the averaged vote uses. m_ai_exit_threshold is
retired rather than left dangling.
* m_oosDecisionSeries now carries the vote, not the confidence, so the exit
SIMULATION stops modelling a close rule the EA does not run.
* ExitPolicy() clamped anything > 1.0 to zero. Passing the unscaled input
through that would have silently switched vote exits off in the
simulation while live went on running them - found before it shipped;
the bound now tracks the scale.
LiveSignedConfidence() is deliberately untouched and still 0..1: MM sizing,
SL/TP scaling and the intelligent trailing want a model confidence, not a win
rate.
CALIBRATION CAVEAT, stated in the code where the claim is made: this is only a
real probability to the extent the pattern weights are. A pattern with fewer
than MIN_TRADES_FOR_WIN_RATE journaled trades keeps its DEFAULT weight - a
designed prior (25/50/75/100 for the AI tiers), not a measurement. Until the
signal DB fills, "60" means "the designed conviction of the patterns that
fired". Closing that gap is the next commit.
Also corrects VOTE_CLOSE_PRESETS' comment, which documented the two scales
this removes.

feat(chart): filtered view - one arrow per trade the bot would actually take
Adds DrawUnfilteredSignals (default OFF) and, with it off, replaces the per-model arrow layer with the decision the EA would really have made. THE FILTERED ARROW IS DRAWN AT THE ORDER, NOT AT THE THRESHOLD. Clearing Min_Vote_Open is not the same as trading: a setup can pass the vote and still never reach the broker (invalid SL/TP, stops-level, ATR warm-up, unsynced swing history), and every one of those lands in OpenParams' failure branch. So DrawVoteArrow() fires only after the order parameters validate, and the failure branch withdraws any arrow already standing on that bar. One arrow is one entry the EA would have placed - carrying the vote, the threshold it cleared, and the SL/TP the order would have had. Classic signals now draw too, under their own name and weight, so a chart running MA/RSI/MACD/Ichimoku alongside the nets reads the same way an ensemble chart does. They can only be drawn from the aggregate's once-per-bar pass, because unlike the AI members they have no cached per-bar scan. Two subtleties that would each have produced a quietly wrong chart: - The raw classic draw sits AFTER filter.Direction(), not beside the journaling block. GetActivePattern*() are CONSUMING reads holding the PREVIOUS evaluation - "one tick later", which at Expert_EveryTick=false is one BAR later. Keyed off those and placed at StartIndex(), every classic arrow would have been drawn one bar early, which on a chart is indistinguishable from a model that genuinely leads. Peek*() accessors (non-consuming) let pattern, weight and bar come from one evaluation. - CExpertSignalAIBase::DrawObject() early-returns instead of gating its five call sites, so the switch cannot be honoured in three passes and missed in the fourth. Its delete counterparts stay ungated so flipping the input off and rescanning clears the raw layer rather than stranding it. SIG_ARROW_PREFIX and g_signalsVisible move from ExpertSignalAIBase.mqh down to ExpertSignalCustom.mqh - the nearest common ancestor - because the classic signals cannot see the AI header (it is included later in Warrior_EA.mq5). The vote layer gets SIG_VOTE_PREFIX under the same bare prefix, so WarriorChartPrefixes()' purge still reaches every arrow without knowing they exist. NOT YET BUILT: the reconstructed history behind attach. Filtered arrows currently start where the EA starts. See the next commit. NOT COMPILED - user compiles in MetaEditor.

fix(gate): the ensemble gate certified a vote the EA never casts
g_ensembleVoteThreshold's comment claims the combined-vote scorer "fires on
the same criterion the live trade does". It did not. Two independent
mismatches, both silent:
CURRENCY. Each member contributed its raw signed confidence x100 - a 33..100
number straight off the softmax head. Live contributes m_weight x the tier's
pattern weight, and BOTH of those are rewritten from the signal DB by
UpdateSignalsWeights(). A head output and a DB-ranked win-rate weight share
an axis and nothing relates them, so the same bar was one number to the gate
and a different one to the order path. Same shape as the 2026-08-09 geometry
incident: certified on one game, paid on another.
DENOMINATOR. The gate divided by the member count, so an abstaining member
pulled the average toward zero. CExpertSignalCustom::Direction() skips a zero
contribution in BOTH the sum and the count (`if(direction == 0) continue;`
before `number++`) - live is a mean over VOTERS. The gate was therefore
scoring a strictly more agreement-heavy set of bars than the EA trades. The
contribution hook's own comment asserted the opposite ("abstentions dilute
the average exactly as they do in the live vote"), while the AI_CHOICE enum
20 lines away correctly documented union semantics.
LiveVoteContribution() is now the single definition of "what this member
votes", called from the gate; the live path reaches the same arithmetic
through LongCondition/ShortCondition. g_ensVoteVoterMask records who actually
voted, separately from who evaluated the bar, because those are the divisor
and the shared-population test respectively.
ConfidenceTier() is split into ConfidenceTierFor(signal) plus a thin live-bar
wrapper - the OOS scan holds the scanned bar's decision in a local, and
dPrevSignal is a different bar.
NOT changed, deliberately: the gate still does not model live NMS
declustering, and the per-member solo gate still scores every directional
call rather than threshold-clearing ones. Both are selection-metric changes
and this codebase has twice been bitten by switching one blind.
Also corrects a stale paragraph in m_pattern_0's declaration block quoting
80/87/93/100 as the tier defaults. The constructor is 25/50/75/100 and has
been since the confidence floor and alternation gate were removed; the block
carried both tables at once, and the dead one was quoted back as fact.

fix(plateau): the IS-error early stop was inert for every ensemble member
15 hours of training, and the stop that exists to END a run announced itself
1,299 consecutive times without ending anything:
SP500 ConvLSTM IN-SAMPLE ERROR PLATEAU - not improved in 1297 / 1298 / 1299
eras (best 0.2689, now 0.3269) ... era 1396, 1397, 1398
SP500 LSTM 536 eras SP500 CONV 442 eras SP500 PAI 150 eras
XAUUSD HYB 478 eras XAUUSD LSTM 296 eras XAUUSD CONV 366 eras
CAUSE: it wrote its decision into m_plateauStage, and EnsembleEraVerdict mirrors
the shared ladder onto every member - `mm.m_plateauStage = g_ensPlateauStage` -
on EVERY era, purely so each member's status line shows the collective stage. A
display mirror was silently overwriting a decision, so the stop re-armed and
re-fired the next era, forever.
This is the worst possible direction for this particular bug. Every one of those
1,299 eras was scored out of sample and joined the family the deploy gate
corrects over (Sidak, g_ensCandidateEras). The stop's entire purpose is to make
that family SMALLER; instead the run spent fifteen hours raising its own bar.
- m_isErrorPlateaued: a one-way per-member latch, cleared only by a fresh run.
Nothing in the ladder may reset it. The stop condition and the two solo deploy
conditions read the latch, not the mirrored stage.
- The orchestrator combines: EnsembleEraVerdict requires UNANIMITY across
participating members (same participation test the era barrier uses, so an
excluded or finished member cannot veto). One member still learning can still
move the combined vote, and the vote is what the gate certifies.
- Fed in as `dueStage = PLATEAU_STAGE_DEPLOY`, NOT written to g_ensPlateauStage.
The block that actually ends the run sits under `dueStage > g_ensPlateauStage`,
so assigning the stage directly makes that test false and the deploy never
happens - the same inert-write shape as the bug being fixed. Caught before
committing; raising dueStage carries it through the ladder's own path (warm
restarts skipped, family-wise vote test, measurement screen, joint checkpoint)
unchanged.
- g_ensIsPlateauAnnounced: announce once per run, not once per era.

fix(chart): a purge that reports "zero leftovers" was only ever checking its own list
2026-08-17 21:58: all three charts hit "Abnormal termination" ~5.3 s into

fix(diag): the cache-invalidation stall message could never name the cause
SP500 and XAUUSD LSTM wedged at era 1 from 19:43 to 21:00+ (77 min) while their three siblings passed era 200 - the 12-minute barrier exclusion correctly kept the charts alive, so the ensembles ran three-handed. Both printed: cache invalidated at era start (era sized 16236 bars, cache holds 16236) Equal numbers, which reads as "so it wasn't the size". That inference is not available: EnsureBarCachesCapacity assigns BOTH invalidation keys (m_labelCacheBars = bars, m_labelCacheAnchorTime = m_Time.GetData(0)) before it returns true, so a message built afterwards reports the values it just overwrote. The two counts are equal BY CONSTRUCTION and ReportTrainStall's anchor= field is always the live one. The line whose stated job is to name which key tripped was structurally incapable of naming it. Capture bars/anchor BEFORE the call and say which one moved: "SIZE CHANGED 16236 -> 16240" or "size unchanged", and "ANCHOR MOVED 2026.08.18 00:00 -> 04:00" or "anchor unchanged". Not guessing at the cause. An anchor moving every era with the size steady is a new candle each pass or a Time buffer that is not being refreshed; a moving size is the era/prebuild disagreement the branch was written for. The next occurrence will say which, instead of costing another session. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(geometry): the ensemble was training on TWO DIFFERENT TARGETS - propagate the adopted barrier
MEASURED 2026-08-17 19:06 on USDJPY, in the fresh run: 19:06:38 LSTM adopting barrier geometry 2:10 ... geometry authority 19:06:40 LSTM triple-barrier labels - stop 2.00 target 10.00, horizon 256 19:06:44 PAI / CONV / HYB break-even 33.3%, mean label lifespan 19.2 bars 19:06:45 LSTM break-even 16.7%, mean label lifespan 81.4 bars One chart, four members, two targets. A "Buy" from LSTM meant "10 ATR before a 2 ATR stop within 256 bars"; a "Buy" from PAI meant "3.21 before 1.61 within 64". The orchestrator averages those votes and the joint gate certifies the average as though they answered one question. And g_DerivedSlAtrMult - which places the LIVE order - is a single global, so the stop actually sent was whichever member wrote last: the same last-writer-wins class of bug as the live-exit confidence. CAUSE, and it is mine. The geometry scan sits at the end of the MI chain, and that chain runs ONCE PER CHART (g_ensembleChartMiReportDone) - whichever member reaches it first measures and the rest skip.

fix(handles): the MA handle was SHARED, and a rejected sweep freed it for everyone else
ROOT CAUSE of the six-session "silent block failure", measured rather than
inferred. All TWELVE dead-handle recoveries in today's log report the SAME
handle number - MA=-1(h13) - across two charts and all four members. It was
never four handles. It was one.
MT5 refcounts indicator requests, so four ensemble members asking for the same
iMA on the same symbol/period share a single handle. TuneIndicatorsByFilter
creates and drops ~35 of them scoring candidates; the sweep's runner ends up
holding a live handle while its siblings still hold a number the terminal has
already freed. Timeline, twice, to the millisecond:
USDJPY 18:10:03 PAI: auto-tune complete
18:10:29.864/.910/.953 CONV/LSTM/HYB: "already ran ... REJECTED"
18:10:30.057/.065/.074 all three: MA=-1(h13), sweep bars all rejected
XAUUSD 18:10:11 -> 18:10:42.19/.23/.27 -> 18:10:42.334 identical, same ~100ms
The adopt branch re-initialised indicators only `if(g_ensembleChartTuneInstalled)`
- exactly backwards. A REJECTED sweep churns just as many handles, and every one
of the twelve recoveries followed a rejection. Parameters are still adopted only
on an install; the HANDLES are now rebuilt either way. Four creations per chart.
RepairDeadIndicatorHandles stays - it is cause-agnostic and it is what made this
diagnosable. This removes the cause it was recovering from.
Also, consistency of the warm-up status (user-reported: "only one nn will say
scoring indicators, which leaves some doubt about what is going on"):
- the sweeping member now says it is scoring "for the whole chart", so three
idle rows read as the design rather than a stall;
- the two adopt branches (tuner and MI) publish to the panel instead of only
printing, so every row accounts for itself;
- the MI suite publishes before it runs. It is the longest stretch of the whole
warm-up - MI, lag profile, excursion targets, geometry scan, each with its own
permutation null - and it published nothing at all, so during most of the
warm-up the panel's last word described a step that had already finished.

fix(shutdown): make ExitPolicy public, and stop every long loop the moment MT5 asks
Two things, one of which was a compile error.
1. ExitPolicy() was declared in the protected block but is pushed in from
Warrior_EA.mq5:770. Moved to public beside the other EA-facing setters.
2. Chart objects surviving OnDeinit. The 4,500 ms teardown budget is measured
from the STOP REQUEST, not from OnDeinit's first line, and OnDeinit cannot
begin until whatever is in flight returns - so a scan still running after
_StopFlag is raised does not delay the cleanup, it SPENDS it, and the purge
never gets its turn.
New CExpertSignalAIBase::ShutdownRequested() = IsStopped() || m_shutdownInProgress.
Deliberately NOT m_trainingStopRequested: that latches, and a latched flag
would permanently disable scans that must run again on the next Start.
Guarded, longest first:
- TuneIndicatorsByFilter - per candidate, restoring the OPERATOR's settings
on the way out (best[] is mutated in place; the tuner otherwise keeps the
last trial's parameters, which nothing chose).
- ReportBarrierGeometryScan - per pairing, breaking to ONE restore point so
m_barrierScanLiveLabels can never be left true (that makes ComputeLabelForBar
read the last candidate's multiples as the configured geometry).
- ReportFeatureLabelInformation / ReportExcursionInformation / lag profile -
nulls ABANDON rather than truncate: fewer draws is not a smaller null, it
is a wrong one, and p shifts toward significance. m_dirEvidence staying
false is the safe direction.
- SimulateExitPolicyOutcomes - zeroes its accumulators so the divergence line
is dropped instead of latching a partial expectancy as the run's only report.
- ReportGeometryExpectancyScan - per ladder rung.
- HttpGet - one choke point for up to a dozen blocking WebRequests per
first-pass Update(). An in-flight request cannot be cancelled; refusing to
start another is the whole remedy.
- PollTraining, OnChartEventHandler's study event, TuneIndicatorsAndTrain -
entry points, so a queued event cannot open an era during teardown.
TuneIndicatorsAndTrain's guard is the first statement, ahead of the
m_tuneFilterDone / g_ensembleChartTuneDone latches.
- OnTick / OnTimer / OnChartEvent.
Training's own bar loops already honoured this (pass 1 per bar, passes 2/2.5/3
yield on a 120 ms budget); the warm-up scans did not, and they are the longest
uninterruptible stretches the EA has.
StopTraining() is unchanged: the operator's Stop still finalises synchronously.

fix(consistency): one geometry authority, one exit authority, and the MI screen finally gets a veto
Consistency pass before a fresh deployment. Three places where two systems were choosing the same thing and one of them silently lost. 1. THE GEOMETRY SCAN'S DECISION WAS INERT - measured, not suspected. USDJPY, 2026-08-17: 14:24:12.844 adopting barrier geometry 2:8 ... Relabelling and training on it. 14:24:12.979 triple-barrier labels - stop 1.61*ATR, target 3.21*ATR ... this is what trains It adopted 2:8 and trained on 1.61:3.21. ReportBarrierGeometryScan wrote only m_sl_mode/m_tp_mode, and BarrierMultiples ranks the DERIVED pair ABOVE those ints - so on any model carrying a derived pair (every model with a .cfg, including a fresh one whose weights are gone but whose sidecar survived) the adoption changed nothing. Worse, had it changed something it would have been undone immediately: the adoption sets m_labelCachePrebuilt = false, and that prebuild re-runs DeriveBarrierGeometry at era 0, which overwrites m_derivedSl/TpMult from the excursion quantiles. ONE AUTHORITY: the derived pair, because it is what the labels read, what the deploy gate certifies, what g_Derived*AtrMult places on the live order, and what the .cfg pins across restarts. The scan now writes THAT (floored by MIN_SL_ATR_MULTIPLIER, the same floor DeriveBarrierGeometry applies so the live stop can never be wider than the labelled one), republishes to the bridge immediately rather than at the next era end, and forces the sidecar to be rewritten. m_geometryAdopted latches it so the derive pass the adoption itself triggers cannot overwrite it. The scan outranks the derive for an evidential reason, not an architectural one: its winner cleared a permutation test against the null of the MAXIMUM over every eligible pairing, and it scores the incumbent derived pair as a peer in that same field. The derive is a descriptive quantile read with no significance test attached. BEHAVIOURAL CHANGE, and the reason to flag it before a fresh test: barrier geometry will now actually move when the scan says so. Until today it never did. 2. ONE EXIT AUTHORITY, tied to whose certificate the trade was placed under. CheckClosePosition had two routes. The AI early-exit reads the AI vote undiluted and is exactly what the new exit replay reproduces. The blended route thresholds m_direction, the average over EVERY filter including classic ones whose live votes pass 3 never computes - so it can close a position the certificate never modelled, and no replay can ever check it. When g_DerivedSlAtrMult > 0 the AI's measured geometry is on the order, which means the deploy gate's certificate is the reason the trade exists. In that state the AI now governs the exit and the blended route is suppressed. Classic-only configurations are untouched: there the blended route is the only exit opinion and stays exactly as it was. Nothing moves at the shipped defaults either way (Min_Vote_Close = Disabled). 3. EDGEFINDER, SECOND HALF: THE MEASUREMENT NOW STEERS. The MI suite has always printed its verdicts and then trained the direction target regardless of what they said. That gap IS the difference between this and the EdgeFinder discipline: measure what the market offers, THEN aim. m_dirEvidence is set when EITHER the feature/label mutual information OR the normalised excursion asymmetry clears its block-permuted null - an OR, because the two look for the same thing by different routes and requiring both would reject on the weaker of two independent measurements. Normalised asymmetry specifically, never the raw one, which is the volatility confound. Deploy - solo AND ensemble - now requires it. A run without it still trains, and keeps its checkpoint: the research value is real and the measurement can be wrong. It simply may not go live. Reported separately from the statistical gate because the remedy is different: a failed selection test says train differently, this says look somewhere else. Excursion SIZE keeps clearing where direction does not, and that is a risk-control head rather than an entry signal. For the ensemble the check is per-chart by construction - the MI suite runs once and shares its outcome across members - which is the honest treatment: four models finding nothing between them is not four chances at an edge, it is four fits to the same absent information.

feat(search): stop on the IN-SAMPLE plateau, and shrink every best-of-K effect before quoting it
Points 3 and 4 of the four-point plan. 1. IN-SAMPLE EARLY STOP - and the reason it is worth having is not compute. The plateau ladder stops on the OOS SELECTION score. That is a peek: by the time it fires, every one of those eras has been evaluated out of sample, so all of them sit in the family the deploy gate corrects over (g_ensCandidateEras, Sidak). Training longer therefore does not merely cost time - it RAISES the bar the eventual winner has to clear. The new stop reads the TRAINING error, which the gate never looks at. When the optimiser has stopped improving on data it can see, more eras will not find a better model; they will only enlarge the OOS family. Ending there shrinks the correction, and the shrinkage is legitimate precisely BECAUSE the stopping rule never consulted an out-of-sample number. That distinction is the whole point and it is the one this project has got wrong four times: stop on IS and the family really is smaller; stop on OOS and those eras were searched and still count. Both stops now exist; only this one buys a lower bar. Deliberately more patient than the OOS ladder (IS_ERROR_PATIENCE_MULT = 3x): training error is noisy per era - mini-batch order alone moves it - and ending a run that is still learning costs far more than a few wasted eras. Improvement is RELATIVE (IS_ERROR_IMPROVE_FRAC = 1%), so it does not depend on the loss's absolute scale, and it only acts when a checkpoint exists, since otherwise it would end a run with nothing to deploy. Reset per RUN alongside the ladder, so a resumed run cannot early-stop on its first era against a previous run's best. 2. WINNER'S-CURSE SHRINKAGE ON THE BARRIER-GEOMETRY WINNER. The family-wise permutation gate already establishes that the RANKING is not noise. It says nothing about the SIZE of the winner's effect - and a best-of-K maximum is biased upward by construction, being the largest of K noisy draws. The adoption message quotes that raw maximum and compares it against the incumbent, so the number a reader plans on is the inflated one. The penalty is now measured, not assumed: the same permutation draws that produce the p-value also produce, per draw, the MAXIMUM excess across all candidates under pure noise. The mean of those maxima is exactly what a best-of-K selection is expected to report when there is nothing there. This is the empirical form of the sqrt(2 ln K) x SE penalty the SQX EdgeFinder plugin applies to every maximum it reports (Stats.java:79-88), and it needs no normality assumption because the draws ARE the null distribution. Applied in James-Stein form - effect x max(0, 1 - penalty^2/effect^2) - so a large effect is nearly untouched and a marginal one collapses toward zero. Reported, not gated. The adoption decision still turns on the permutation p-value, which is the right test for "is the ranking real"; the shrunk number is there so the magnitude quoted beside it is one worth planning on. Closes the first of the two EdgeFinder ports identified on 2026-08-12. NOTE on the second EdgeFinder port, deliberately not done here: "let the measurement steer the target" is already true where it matters most - ReportGeometryExpectancyScan ADOPTS the winning barrier geometry under the family-wise gate rather than advising it, and the MI excursion suite publishes a verdict per instrument per config. What is still missing is steering the TRAINING TARGET itself (direction vs excursion) off those verdicts, and that is a design change rather than a surgical one - direction is a closed verdict while excursion SIZE keeps clearing, so the honest version of that change is a target-selection policy, not a flag.

feat(gates): derive the recall floor instead of configuring it, publish what the configuration can PROVE, and stop an arbitrary member driving live exits
Three changes, all from the same principle: measure what is there before aiming
at it, and never certify a number you do not trade.
1. THE RECALL FLOOR IS DERIVED, AND IT MOVES BELOW CHANCE.
MinRecall=40 was a constant doing a statistical job. Its reference point is the
33.3% recall a zero-skill 3-class model gets on EVERY class, and against that the
constant was accidentally calibrated for exactly one sample size: on USDJPY CONV
(n_eff 195) 40% is chance + 2.0 SE; on SP500 PAI (n_eff 42) the same 40% is chance
+ 0.9 SE. One chart was being held to a bar twice as strict as the other, for no
reason anyone chose.
CollapseRecallFloorPct() computes it per class from that class's own effective
sample - EffectiveSampleSize(), so the overlap deflation the rest of the gates use
applies here too - as chance - EDGE_MIN_SIGMAS x SE. 26.5% at n_eff 195, 18.8% at
n_eff 42.
BELOW chance, deliberately, and this is the substantive change rather than the
arithmetic. This gate's only job is refusing to call a COLLAPSED model converged.
It is not a quality bar; the deploy gate is the quality bar and it is already
rigorous (chance + 2 SE on the deflated sample, Sidak over candidate eras, then the
cross-instrument pooled certificate). A convergence gate that ALSO demands
provably-above-chance recall on all three classes double-counts that job, and it
has failed that way twice here: MinRecall=60 blocked every SP500 H1 run in 2026-07,
and the 40 that replaced it made Neutral structurally unreachable once first-touch
resolution cut Neutral to a 0.65% residue. A floor nothing can reach does not make
a funded account safer, it stops the run converging at all.
Testing significantly BELOW chance instead catches what a fixed 40 was actually
catching - a model that has stopped emitting a class - and cannot become
unreachable by construction. It also fixes the direction the old constant scaled:
it now widens on a thin OOS window, where low recall genuinely cannot be told from
noise, and tightens on a rich one. Today's SP500 PAI (Buy 51 / Sell 18 / Neutral 30)
is still correctly blocked on Sell.
This also resolves a standing contradiction the code half-admitted at the
isBetterEra comment: selection ranks on coverage-weighted PRECISION while
convergence gated on RECALL, so a sparse high-precision abstainer - precisely the
model that could clear the deploy bar - was blocked by the floor.
The era line now PRINTS the derived floor. Anyone comparing these recalls against a
remembered "40" is reading the wrong bar.
2. DETECTABILITY: WHAT THIS CONFIGURATION COULD PROVE, BEFORE IT TRAINS.
The DEPLOY BAR line states the bar. It never said what reaching it would take, and
that is the actionable direction. ReportDetectability() inverts the same identity -
the gate passes when edge >= z x sqrt(p(1-p)/n_eff), so certifying an edge d needs
n_eff >= z^2 p(1-p)/d^2 independent calls, hence L times as many raw ones - and
prints a +2 / +5 / +10pp ladder as required independent calls, raw calls, and share
of the OOS window, marking any rung that needs more than the window holds IMPOSSIBLE.
Every term is a property of the CONFIGURATION - geometry via break-even, horizon via
mean label lifespan, window via oosCutoff - so no amount of training moves any of
them. It fires once, at the first healthy sweep, beside ReportFeatureHealth, for the
same reason: that is the first moment the bar grid, the measured geometry and the
lifespan are real numbers rather than defaults. It gates nothing.
This is the EdgeFinder discipline applied to our own gate: establish what the market
and the measurement design have to offer, then point the net at it - rather than
spending a thousand eras chasing something this OOS window could never certify.
3. AN ARBITRARY MEMBER WAS DRIVING LIVE EXITS AND TRAILING (user-identified).
Every ensemble member ran
g_LiveAISignedConfidence = SignedAIConfidence();
unconditionally, every tick. Last writer wins. Its consumers are the AI early-exit
route (CExpertSignalCustom::LiveSignedConfidence) and TrailingIntelligent - so on a
four-model chart an LSTM entry could be closed, and its stop moved, on the
Perceptron's opinion alone, decided by scheduling order. Not the vote, not a
weighted blend.
Now the mean across registered members, matching how the ensemble actually trades:
the open decision is the weighted-average vote, and an abstaining member contributes
0 and dilutes exactly as it does there. Members still training read 0, so a
half-trained ensemble reads WEAKER rather than louder - the safe direction for an
exit trigger. Deployed and paused members are included, which is the opposite of the
era barrier's exemption rule and correct for the opposite reason: that one asks who
must be waited for, this asks who has an opinion.
Latent today and staying that way for now by choice - Min_Vote_Close ships Disabled
(101, unreachable on both scales it drives) and TrailingStrategy is off, so live
exits are SL/TP only and the certified hold-to-barrier win rate is what actually
gets traded. Fixed now precisely because the plan is to enable vote exits once the
models are accurate, at which point a scheduling-order exit would be both harmful
and very hard to see.
STILL OPEN, and needs a decision before vote exits go on: the member gate and the
ensemble vote gate both grade hold-to-barrier, so enabling vote exits makes the
certified number stop describing the traded one. Warrior_EA.mq5 currently argues
barrier models may keep vote exits because "their label IS the vote's own horizon" -
that does not hold, since a vote flip at bar 5 of a 64-bar horizon is not the
target-before-stop outcome the gate measured. Either grade the OOS call on the real
exit rule (first of SL / TP / vote-flip / horizon) through the fill engine, or set
HoldToBarrier for ensemble members so the policy cannot drift from the certificate.

fix(train): clamp the sweep to indicator-servable depth - the scan wall was CopyBuffer, not a cold indicator
Symptom: on a 3-chart run with contention ruled out (SP500 sitting at era 2552),
USDJPY and XAUUSD produced 0 usable windows out of 50,163 and 33,966 - forever,
re-sweeping on every discard, which is the panel oscillating 0->100%.
Bars() is the PRICE series depth. A CUSTOM indicator's is not: MT5 calculates it
in its own context bounded by "Max bars in chart" (TERMINAL_MAXBARS), and
CopyBuffer past that limit does not short-read, it FAILS - so CDoubleBuffer keeps
nothing and EVERY index answers EMPTY_VALUE. ADMovingAverage is the only custom
indicator whose feature block REJECTS on EMPTY_VALUE (ADZigZag, also CiCustom,
neutral-fills; RSI/MACD/Ichimoku/ATR are built-ins served at any depth), so the
sweep died on feature 25 of every bar while the 24 price features under it were
fine. That is exactly the "window had 24 of 832 values" the stall report named.
Perfectly depth-correlated, measured 2026-08-17:
SP500 16,234 bars -> era 2552 XAUUSD 33,982 -> 0 windows
XTIUSD 16,611 bars -> era 71 USDJPY 50,179 -> 0 windows
This RETIRES the 2026-08-17 cold-indicator reading of the same stall.

fix(pooledgate): _Period, not Period() - the bare call resolves to CExpertBase's setter
Three compile errors, all the same cause. Inside a CExpertBase subclass a bare Period() no longer reaches the builtin ENUM_TIMEFRAMES Period(); MQL5's method- hiding rules resolve it to the inherited bool CExpertBase::Period(ENUM_TIMEFRAMES) setter, which takes an argument - hence 'wrong parameters count, 0 passed, but 1 requires'. Switched to the _Period predefined variable, which is what the rest of this codebase already uses (100 occurrences; ::Period() appears nowhere). AutoTune.mqh line 82 builds its own per-symbol/timeframe filename exactly this way, so the pool file naming now matches the convention it should have followed from the start.

rows, 2010-01-01 to 2026-08-17, no constant or degenerate columns, sane tails
(mac_cpi/mac_unemp flat ~47d is monthly data behaving correctly). The problem is
not the data, it is what happens where the data ISN'T.
CAltDataPanel::Features() returned an all-ZERO vector for any bar older than the
file's first row, and left blank cells at 0 too. Both were deliberate ('the block
is additive context and must degrade, never reject the bar') and that reasoning
holds for the CHANGE columns - but half these features are LEVELS: vix, ivol,
mac_y10, mac_cpi, mac_unemp, eia_util. For a level, 0 is not a missing reading,
it is an impossible one far outside the series' range. VIX does not visit zero.
And the spike lands in exactly the wrong place. Every alt file starts 2010-01-01
while the charts run far deeper - USDJPY H4 reaches ~1994, roughly HALF its
history - so 'alt block is all zeros' is precisely the predicate 'this bar is
older than 2010'. The IS/OOS split is chronological, so that predicate covers
~half of IS and none of OOS: an in-sample feature guaranteed to be useless
out-of-sample, and a bimodal input for the first BatchNorm to normalise. Not a
lookahead leak - a distribution corruption, which is quieter and was never
reported anywhere.
Now filled with the column MEDIAN over the covered range. A constant cannot leak
whatever its source - it takes the same value on every pre-coverage bar, so it
carries no information about which of those bars won - which is what makes a
median computed over later data legitimate here. Median not mean because the
series are skewed. Blank cells get the same treatment (eia_stk_idx1y alone has
181 blanks in 6,073 rows) and the count is now logged at load.
THE BACKOFF WAS ALREADY THERE AND WAS DEAD. Training.mqh arms m_coldSweepTick on
m_featureFailTransient, but only the open/ATR guards ever set that flag, so
f0cf659's cold ADMovingAverage looked PERMANENT and the sweep re-ran at full
speed forever. Setting the flag in the indicator guards revives the mechanism
that was already designed for this; no second backoff was needed and the one I
first wrote has been removed in favour of it.
SELF-HEALING, as asked. ReportFeatureHealth() runs once, the first time pass 1
produces usable windows, samples ~400 bars spread across the whole training range
and names every feature slot that is CONSTANT or mostly-zero, tagging alt-block
slots as alt[i]. Both of today's failures were the same shape - a block silently
produces nothing while every downstream number stays plausible - and neither an
accuracy figure nor a model can tell 'this feature is always 0' from 'this
feature is genuinely 0 here'. Evenly spaced sampling so a block that dies only in
deep history is caught as surely as one dead everywhere. A report, not a gate:
a rare-flag feature can be legitimately constant, and refusing to train would
turn a diagnostic into an outage.

fix(features): a cold indicator is TRANSIENT, not a permanent miss - and back off instead of re-sweeping
Six fresh instances on USDJPY and XAUUSD swept 33,965-50,162 bars and produced
ZERO usable feature windows, repeatedly, for 40 minutes and 239 stall reports,
without ever completing era 0. The four instances already warmed up before those
charts were attached trained normally throughout.
THE STALL REPORT NAMED THE SPOT EXACTLY: 'lookback slot 0 REJECTED the bar
(window had 24 of 832 values)', and 24 is the core block to the value - 4 price +
5 swing + 4 range + 4 volume + 6 time + 1 ATR. So feature 25 was the wall, and
feature 25 is the first value of the MA block. The same 24 appeared on XAUUSD
against a 816-value window (51 features/bar vs 52), which is what ruled out any
symbol-specific data gap: the wall sits at a fixed feature index, not a date.
ADMovingAverage is a CUSTOM indicator, so MT5 fills its buffer asynchronously and
returns EMPTY_VALUE for EVERY index until it has calculated - not just the
warm-up tail. That guard did not set m_featureFailTransient, so every bar of the
sweep was cached as a PERMANENT miss. This is precisely the failure the ATR guard
twenty lines above it was fixed for on 2026-08-10; the fix was never propagated
to the indicator blocks that follow. RSI, MACD and Ichimoku had the same defect
and are fixed too. (The Donchian high/low guard is a break into a
degraded-but-usable path, not a rejection, and is deliberately left alone.)
IT ALSO SELF-SUSTAINED, which is why it never recovered. The ok=0 self-heal drops
the feature cache and re-sweeps immediately, so each stuck instance spent every
millisecond re-reading 30-50k bars - six of them at once, on a six-core box,
competing for CPU with the very indicator calculation they were all waiting on.
The recovery was preventing the recovery. A transient total failure now re-arms
m_warmupPassesRemaining, yielding the CPU for a few separately-scheduled Train()
calls - the same mechanism a fresh model already uses to let history sync finish,
pointed at indicator warm-up instead.
Verified in the terminal journal first: indicators load and unload in matched
counts and there is no OOM, so this is NOT the

feat(gate): cross-instrument pooled certification
The deploy bottleneck is CERTIFICATION, not training. A 4,738-bar OOS window at L=75.6 holds ~63 independent observations; certifying a 3pp edge at 2 sigma needs ~1,036. More bars of the same symbol barely help - they overlap. Other symbols do not. WHAT POOLS. Not win rates: symbols have different derived geometries, different break-evens and different drifts, so averaging raw rates across them is meaningless. What pools is each symbol's EXCESS OVER ITS OWN CHANCE RATE, combined by inverse-variance weighting (fixed-effects meta-analysis). Each symbol keeps its own model, geometry and chance rate; only the evidence is combined. THE CORRELATION PROBLEM, bracketed rather than assumed away. SP500 and NAS100 are ~0.9 correlated and pooling them as independent inflates the evidence. Nothing here can measure that without sharing return series, so instead of guessing a correction the gate reports both ends: SE_INDEP = sqrt(1/SUM(1/var_i)) all members independent SE_CORR = SUM(w_i * sqrt(var_i)) all members perfectly correlated The truth is always between. THE GATE USES SE_CORR, so a pass cannot be an artifact of correlated instruments - that bound already assumes the worst. The ratio is logged as the diversification credit the gate declines to claim, so the cost of that conservatism is visible instead of hidden. SCOPE, deliberately limited: the pooled result is REPORTED, never folded into tradeableOK. The local gate certifies the model that actually trades this symbol; the pool answers the different question of whether the strategy has an edge at all. Letting a cross-symbol result license a local deploy would ship a model that never cleared its own bar - so it cannot. Mechanics: one file per instrument (no concurrent-write path to get wrong), every FileOpen carrying FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE, records skipped rather than reinterpreted on a version mismatch, 12h staleness cutoff so a stopped chart cannot vote, and pooling refused below 3 instruments. Poolability requires matching timeframe and ratio; differing SYMBOL is the entire point. Publishing is unconditional - a pool that only hears from winners is a selection effect, not a meta-analysis.

feat(measurement): fix zero-skill denominator, publish the deploy bar, measure lifespan per rung, add a MEASURE scale objective
The last run could not have demonstrated an edge either way, and nothing in the
log said so. Four changes so it does.
1. THE ZERO-SKILL LINE DIVIDED BY THE WRONG DENOMINATOR. m_oosWinLongTotal resets
every era; m_oosSamples only resets on a full model reset. So 'always-long %'
decayed as ~1/era: a run whose true rate is 37% printed 1.2% at era 33 and
0.0% at era 2219. This is the SAME bug already found and fixed for
logBuyPredPct thirty lines above ('era-15 Buy:2% that was really ~30%'), left
in the one line whose whole job is to be the reference every other number is
read against. Correct at era 1, wrong everywhere after - including the '62%
zero-skill' figure in the 2026-08-16 notes. Now per-era, and always-short is
finally readable.
2. THE DEPLOY GATE STATES ITS OWN BAR. 'edge -1pp' era after era cannot separate
'short by a hair' from 'short by an amount no strategy could cover'. The era
line now prints the required win rate, the SE, the effective n and the
lifespan it was deflated by; above 100% it says UNREACHABLE. At 4,738 OOS bars
and L=75.6 there are ~63 independent observations, putting the bar near 66% at
typical coverage.
3. LIFESPAN MEASURED PER RUNG. The first-passage cache already stores touch ages
at every ladder level, so each candidate geometry's resolution time is
readable without training on it - L-vs-width becomes a measurement across the
whole ladder in ONE run rather than a second chart. Each rung reports L,
n_eff, min provable edge and min provable EV.
4. SCALE OBJECTIVE IS PHASE-AWARE, defaulting to MEASURE. Width and detectability
are opposed: labels overlap by L, L grows like m*k = width^2 at fixed ratio,
so min provable EV ~ width^2 while the cost saving from width is only linear.
Doubling width quadruples the smallest EV you can prove. DEPLOY (widest that
clears reachability) is right once an edge is known; MEASURE (narrowest that
keeps round-trip spread under BARRIER_MAX_COST_FRACTION_PCT) is right while it
still has to be shown. The direction does not depend on the exponent, and
item 3 makes the exponent checkable.
Fixed in review: m_lastRungLifespan is cleared on every LadderWinShare entry or a
rejected rung reports the previous rung's lifespan as its own; per-rung
detectability is labelled IS-sample based (the deriver may not see the holdout),
so absolute figures are optimistic while the ranking is unaffected.

fix(labels): overlapping-label sample correction + horizon cap on the scale ladder
Three defects, all surfaced by the 2026-08-17 SP500 H4 run that shipped
stop 4.86 / target 9.71 (width 14.57*ATR, horizon 384).
1. EVERY STANDARD ERROR ASSUMED INDEPENDENT SAMPLES. Triple-barrier labels
started one per bar overlap by the label's lifespan, so n calls are worth
~n/L independent observations (Lopez de Prado, AFML ch. 4 - sample
uniqueness). All three sqrt(p(1-p)/n) sites divided by the RAW count.
The tell: the operating point's null-of-the-maximum gate is family-wise and
should fire on ~5% of eras under the null. Measured fire rates - PAI 47/73
(64%), ConvLSTM 9/24, LSTM 8/21 (38%), CONV 4/62 (6%). CONV, the only model
whose margin distribution admits few bins, sat on the null; the rest cleared
a bar that was too low by ~sqrt(L). PAI's deployed threshold consequently
alternated between the ENDS of its own range era to era (0.10 -> 0.88 ->
0.86 -> 0.66; coverage 16% <-> 73%).
TripleBarrierLabel now records when each label became KNOWABLE - the first
winning touch, or both stops, or the timeout - and the prebuild accumulates
the mean. EffectiveSampleSize() feeds the operating point, the member deploy
gate and the ensemble vote gate. Conservative by construction (n/L is an
upper bound on the damage); gates get harder, never easier.
2. THE SCALE LADDER RAN AWAY, again. Horizon scales as swingMedian*sl*tp, and

fix(geometry): the reachability floor measured the WRONG WINDOW - my bug from bc57aca, and it cost real width
RECONCILED: the derivation reported "target reached on 17.7% of bars" while the
label cache reported Buy on 35.9%. Nothing was broken. They measure different
windows, and both are correct:
EXCURSION window ~12 bars (the SWING MEDIAN) - what m_excUpCache accumulates
over. Deliberately short: sizing a barrier off travel
measured over a horizon that itself scales with the barrier
is circular, and it ran away to 14-31*ATR on EURUSD/USDCAD
in 2026-08-07. That guard is correct and stays.
BARRIER horizon 64 bars - what the LABEL walk and the first-passage ladder
run over, and how long the EA actually holds the trade.
So `up >= target` is a 12-bar question and `label == Buy` is a 64-bar one, and
the second can freely exceed the first. TripleBarrierLabel gates the excursion
accumulation on `idx - t <= excWindow` while the barrier walk and the ladder run
the full horizon - the split is explicit and intentional.
THE BUG IS MINE. bc57aca's scale ladder tested reachability with `up[i] >= tp`,
i.e. it asked the 12-bar question about a 64-bar trade. That understates
reachability by ~2x, which is why EVERY wide rung was rejected and the geometry
fell back to the tightest rung at 1.61/3.21. The data supported considerably
wider; the test was just asking the wrong question.
FIX: LadderWinShare() reads the answer off the first-passage ladder - target
touched strictly before the stop, over the full horizon, tie to the stop. That
is the identical question the label walk asks, so the ladder share and the Buy
rate should now agree to within rung discretisation. Both legs snap to the
SMALLEST rung at or above the requested multiple (harder target, harder stop) so
the floor stays conservative.
Expect the scale ladder to select a WIDER rung on the next relabel. On this
data the excursion test read 17.7% at q50 where the true full-horizon share is
35.9%, so rungs that scored 8.1% and 2.8% were likely well above the floor.
ALSO:
- Window reconciliation now PRINTED every derivation: excursion travel share,
ladder win share, and the label cache's Buy share side by side, with the
ladder-vs-label gap flagged if it exceeds rung discretisation. Those two must
agree; if they ever stop agreeing, one of them is wrong and the line says so.
- Renamed tpReach/slReach -> tpTravel/slTravel and relabelled the log line. They
describe the EXCURSION window and are near-tautological there (a q50 stop is
exceeded by ~50% of bars); calling them "reached within the horizon" is what
made the two quantities look like one.
- BARRIER_MIN_TP_REACH_PCT is now BARRIER_MIN_REACH_FRACTION_OF_BE (0.60) x
break-even instead of a hardcoded 20.0. Break-even for 1:RR is 100/(1+RR), so
the absolute floor silently tightened as RR rose - 0.60x at RR=2 but 0.80x at
RR=3, penalising the user for asking for a bigger target. Evaluates to exactly
20.0% at the shipped RR=2, so this is a no-op today and correct if the knob
moves.

fix(geometry): the target was small BY CONSTRUCTION - ratio is now policy, scale is measured, ladder ceiling removed
The derivation read the stop from q75 of ADVERSE travel and the target from q50
of FAVOURABLE travel. Over one horizon those distributions are broadly the same
shape, so q75 > q50 MECHANICALLY - the target came out smaller than the stop no
matter what the market did. SP500 H4 shipped stop 3.07 / target 1.70: a 0.55:1
payoff needing 64.3%. That was never a measurement, it was two mismatched
constants.
The reachability line printed beside it - "target on 50.0% of bars, stop on
25.0%" - is exactly 1-q50 and 1-q75. Tautological. It cannot disconfirm
anything, and it read as validation.
WIDTH AND RATIO ARE INDEPENDENT AND ONLY ONE PAYS. EV = edge x width;
ratio is EV-neutral (a driftless walk reaches +m before -k with probability
k/(k+m), which IS break-even). Width is what buys cost efficiency: the spread
is a fixed 0.047*ATR here, so the shipped 4.77*ATR width paid it 21 times per
unit of travel. So:
RATIO = policy. BARRIER_TARGET_RR = 2.0 (user's 1:2). Break-even 33.3%.
SCALE = measured. The stop quantile is chosen from a ladder, WIDEST FIRST,
taking the first rung whose implied 2x target is still reached often
enough to be a trainable class.
That last clause is the difference from the min-reward:risk raise removed in
2026-08-09, which forced target = 2 x stop with NO reachability test, landed on
6.66*ATR reachable on 3.3% of bars, and trained the model to predict something
that essentially never happened. Same ratio; the scale now retreats until the
data says the target is attainable. Every rung is logged.
LADDER CEILING REMOVED. BARRIER_LADDER stopped at 5.00 and the expectancy scan's
"best resolvable pair on width alone" came back as stop 5.05 / target 4.95 - it
pinned to the top rung. A recommendation landing exactly on the edge of its own
search space is a boundary, not a finding: it cannot tell "5 ATR is optimal"
from "5 ATR is all we allowed". Extended to 20*ATR (8 -> 14 rungs). Nothing else
needs editing - every consumer is parameterised by BARRIER_LADDER_COUNT - and
the horizon constraints (decided >= 60%, reachability floor) now bind instead of
a constant.
THE SCAN COULD NOT SEE THE SHIPPED GEOMETRY. ReportBarrierGeometryScan looked
the configured pair up in its integer grid, and DeriveBarrierGeometry produces
CONTINUOUS multiples (3.07/1.70) that can never equal a grid point - so
cfgExcess stayed at its -1.0 sentinel and the report printed "configured 3:2
scores -1.00000", which reads as a catastrophic score and actually means "never
evaluated". Worse, the grid skipped target<stop entirely because it "inverts the
trade's whole premise" - while the derivation was shipping exactly that. The
incumbent is now always scored as a peer (never crowned; it is already in force
and is not an enum pairing the scan could adopt).
BREAK-EVEN NOW INCLUDES THE SPREAD. Every report quoted the frictionless
SL/(SL+TP). On SP500 H4 that read 64.3% while the MEASURED zero-skill rate was
62.1% - a 2.2pp gap that IS the cost, and that made every model look 2.2pp
better than it was. CostAdjustedBreakEvenPct() prices a win at (TP - spread) and
a loss at (SL + spread), matching the expectancy scan's convention exactly so
the two reports cannot disagree.
It also feeds FitDirConfThreshold, which is the correctness half: the operating
point subtracts break-even from precision, so the frictionless figure made every
candidate threshold look better by the width of the spread - 2.2pp against a
measured edge of 2.3pp, i.e. very nearly all of it.
Era line now carries both: "break-even 64.3% frictionless, 66.6% AFTER SPREAD".
Forces a full relabel and retrain. Requested.

fix(batchnorm): bound the normalized value - a constant input feature was amplified 1e4x and pinned PAI's head to its rails
BN_MIN_STD = 1e-4 caps the per-unit gain at 1/1e-4 = 1e4, and the comment above
it states that as though it were a safety property. It is not. A unit whose
running variance is ~0 is a CONSTANT feature carrying no information, and
dividing its rounding noise by 1e-4 hands the next layer an activation of
several hundred. BN's contract is "output has ~unit variance"; a unit that
cannot supply that must contribute nothing, not the largest signal in the layer.
MEASURED, 2026-08-17 SP500 H4, four topologies on identical separate charts:
model spread Neutral CHOSE Neutral TIED rail
CONV 0.386 0.68% 0.10% 0.48%
LSTM 0.392 0.63% 0.00% 0.00%
HYB 0.376 1.79% 0.00% 0.01%
PAI 0.192 0.09% 80.63% 99.99%
bn1's cached nx normed 1.38e4 over 800 units. PAI's SIGMOID head was on its
rails on 99.99% of bars, with Buy and Sell landing on the SAME rail so they
compared exactly equal, and ApplyClassificationSoftmax()'s strict-majority rule
reported that tie as Neutral on ~80% of bars.
So the long-running "PAI is heavily biased toward Neutral" was never a
class-prior problem: the net CHOSE Neutral on 0.09% of bars. It was float
equality on a saturated head. The

feat(diagnostics): split a reported "Neutral" into CHOSE vs TIED - they need opposite fixes
ApplyClassificationSoftmax() requires a STRICT majority over both rivals and
sends every tie, 2-way or 3-way, to Neutral. So "OOS recall Neutral:100%" is
two completely different events sharing one label:
CHOSE - the net genuinely ranks Neutral highest. A class-prior/label problem.
TIED - the top two are EXACTLY equal, so the net expressed no preference and
the tie-break reported Neutral. A SATURATION problem: the head is
SIGMOID, and a saturated sigmoid returns exactly 0.0f or 1.0f in the
DLL's float32, so two classes pinned to the same rail compare equal
and the bar is silently discarded.
Nothing in the logs could tell them apart, and the fixes point opposite ways.
Eras 1-25 of the 2026-08-17 solo PAI run read "Neutral 100%" at spread avg 0.99
- fully saturated - and broke out at era 27 as the spread fell to 0.75. That is
consistent with EITHER story. The user reports the Neutral phase on most runs,
so it is worth four longs to stop guessing.
Four per-era counters on the pass 3 OOS walk, reported as:
| Neutral CHOSE 12.4% / TIED 38.1% (of which B=S 1204) | rail 61.2%
m_oosNeutralStrict - Neutral strictly highest
m_oosNeutralTie - no strict winner; the tie-break produced Neutral
m_oosTieBuySell - the costly subset: Buy and Sell tied AT the top, i.e. a
DIRECTIONAL reading thrown away by float equality
m_oosRailBars - any raw output sitting on a sigmoid asymptote, the
saturation that makes exact ties possible at all
Read on the RAW logits, before ApplyClassificationSoftmax() overwrites TempData
in place. Legitimate because softmax is strictly monotone: it cannot change the
ordering and cannot break a tie either, so the raw reading and the decision
always agree. Placed alongside the existing min/max/spread capture so all the
output diagnostics describe the same values.
Measurement only - no decision path reads these.

fix(diagnostics+calibration): the frozen-layer reading was a broken ruler; gate the operating point on a null of the maximum
Two defects behind the "training is highly unstable" report, from 101 eras of
SP500 H4 PAI logs. Neither was the optimizer.
1) LayerLearningReport's dW/W for BN layers divided by the WHOLE packed block.
getWeightsBN concatenates the outgoing dense matrix, gamma/beta, the running
mean/variance, the Adam moments AND BN_OPT_NX - the forward-pass scratch copy
of the normalized input. At era 101 bn1's dense matrix normed 15.1 against a
block norm of 15430.3, of which NX alone was 15429.3: the weights were 0.098%
of their own denominator, a 1022x inflation. NX is also near-constant between
era-end reports (same last forward pass), which pins the numerator down too,
so the layer read "bn1:0.000%" for 101 consecutive eras and was diagnosed as a
frozen first layer. It was the ruler that was broken. The ratio now covers
trainable parameters only (dense matrix + gamma + beta); mean/var/NX/Adam are
excluded. NX is reported separately because it is a health signal in its own
right - bn5 read nx 6.8e6 over 16 neurons, ~1.7e6 per unit against a healthy
~1.0, which is what a near-zero running variance in the denominator looks like.
NO historical dW/W reading on a bn* layer is admissible evidence that a layer
did or did not train. That includes every such claim in this repo's notes.
2) FitDirConfThreshold took a bare argmax of coverage x (precision - breakEven)
over 50 bins. Measured across 98 consecutive fits:
correlation(chosen threshold, win rate at it) = -0.056 over 0.00..0.74
win rate stdev across fits = 1.32pp
binomial SE of that win rate at ~1430 calls = 1.25pp
The correlation is zero - the margin does not rank trades - and the era-to-era
spread IS its own sampling error to within 0.07pp. So the objective was
coverage x (3.4 +/- 1.3) and the argmax over ~37 eligible bins returned
whichever bin drew the luckiest sample. The threshold teleported
0.42 -> 0.04 -> 0.74 in three eras, swinging OOS coverage 0% -> 39%, leaving
the era win rate measured on 1-5 calls and swinging 0% <-> 100%. That is the
entire reported instability.
The argmax is now adopted only if it beats a DETERMINISTIC fallback - the most
selective bin still clearing the coverage floor, chosen from the margin
distribution alone and never from a win rate - by more than a best-of-N
maximum could manage on noise, sqrt(2 ln N) standard errors. Same null-of-the-
maximum correction the deploy gate already applies to model selection.
A plain one-standard-error band was tried first and is NOT sufficient: its
edge is bestScore - bestSE, and with a 2.3pp edge against a 1.25pp SE that
edge is itself +/-50%, so the admitted set would still wander by half its own
width every era. The fallback has to be independent of the noisy quantity.
Simulated on the observed numbers: falls back every era at the current 2.3pp
edge (stable), adopts the argmax once a real edge reaches ~5pp.

fix: drop the ranking slice for the calibration band; un-collapse the tiers
NOT COMPILED - user compiles. (1) THE RANKING SLICE IS GONE. It reserved 20% of the OOS window so the pattern-DB backfill would read bars the deployed checkpoint was not SELECTED on. That objection stands; carving a new region to answer it did not. The calibration band already has every property the slice was buying: never trained on | never graded by pass 3 (which walks [0, oosCutoff) and so never reaches it) | never seen by the deploy gate | purged by a full label horizon on BOTH sides | and larger besides - 1,684 bars vs the ~970 carved So the backfill now walks [calibLo, calibHi) and pass 3 goes back to grading the entire OOS window, exactly as before any of this. The gate gets its full sample back (~10% of a sigma), the split loses a region, and the failure mode found an hour ago - a reserved region silently blanking ~10 months of chart arrows, because arrows are only drawn on bars pass 3 grades - becomes impossible. One impurity, stated in the completion log rather than hidden: m_dirConfThreshold is FITTED on that band and the walk applies it to decide which bars fired, so coverage there is mildly optimistic. One scalar under a coverage floor, against checkpoint selection over hundreds of eras. This backfill IS the deploy-time warm-up: it runs right after FinalizeTrainRun() restores the deployed weights, so it scores with exactly what is about to trade. (2) EVERY CALL WAS TIER 0, AND IT WAS ARITHMETIC. ConfidenceTier() quartiles [floorConf, 1] where floorConf = 1/3 - the lowest magnitude a 3-way softmax winner can hold. But it was fed CalibratedConfidenceMagnitude(), which multiplies by m_confidenceCalScale, clamped to [0.3, 1.5]. That lower clamp is BELOW 1/3. Whenever calibration bottoms out, t goes negative and MathMax(0, ...) pins every call to tier 0. Which is what the live run does. m_confidenceCalScale is EMA'd toward empiricalAccuracy / avgClaimedConfidence; with the model over-calling Neutral, 3-class agreement sits near 10% against a claimed confidence near 0.9, so the ratio is ~0.11 and clamps to 0.3 every era. Logged: tier prec T0:72%(828) T1:n/a(0) T2:n/a(0) T3:n/a(0) 828 calls, one bucket - the four tier weights and the entire per-tier pattern-DB ranking reduced to a single number. The backfill was feeding a mechanism that structurally could not rank. Tiering now reads the RAW head magnitude, which genuinely lives on the [1/3, 1] range these bounds were written for. Calibration keeps its real jobs - AIConfidence() for MM sizing and SignedAIConfidence() for the vote are unchanged. STILL OPEN, deliberately not touched here: the calibration TARGET itself. empiricalAccuracy is 3-class agreement, which is the wrong quantity to scale a DIRECTIONAL confidence against - it counts a Neutral class that is 0.19% of labels. The honest target is the win rate on the calls the confidence describes (directional precision), with the claimed-confidence average taken over those same called bars. That needs a new accumulator and it interacts with the Neutral over-calling being fixed elsewhere, so it wants one clean run first.

fix(gate): move the ranking slice to the OLD end - it walled off the recent chart
NOT COMPILED - user compiles. User: "there is quite some trading going on, but absolutely nothing on the recent area of the chart, like there is a hard wall starting around november 2025." That wall is 7caf2f6's ranking slice, and it was placed at the wrong end. Chart arrows are only ever drawn on bars pass 3 GRADES, and the slice reserved the NEWEST 20% of the OOS window plus a label-horizon purge. At the live sizing - ~4,860 OOS bars, 128-bar horizon - that is ~1,100 H4 bars withheld from grading, about ten months back from today, exactly where the wall appears. The invisible cost was worse than the visible one: it handed the deploy gate the OLDEST 80% of the OOS window and withheld the most recent regime from the single decision that has to generalise forward. Both fixed by putting the reserve at the oldest end instead: [0, oosScoreHi) OOS - graded by pass 3 (NEWEST, arrows restored) [oosScoreHi, rankLo) purge - one label horizon [rankLo, oosCutoff) RANKING - backfill only, graded by nobody [oosCutoff, calibLo) purge [calibLo, calibHi) CALIBRATION ... IS Of the three consumers competing for those bars, recency is worth least to the ranking: it is an ORDERING of confidence tiers, far less regime-sensitive than an absolute win rate, while the gate's power and the operator's read of the chart both want the newest data. The slice keeps every property that made it worth carving - never graded, never selected on, never seen by the gate, purged on both sides - so the backfilled rows are still honestly out-of-sample. RankSliceHiIndex is replaced by RankSliceLoIndex + OosScoreHiIndex; pass 3 now excludes the slice at the TOP of its walk and descends to 2 as it always did. The backfill walks [RankSliceLoIndex, oosCutoff) via a new m_dbBackfillStopIndex, clamped at both ends so a degenerate slice yields an empty walk rather than one that wanders into graded bars. Verified no reference to the old helper survives. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |
