fix: make the indicator tuner actually measure, and gate what it installs
ROOT CAUSE of the zero spread measured on SP500 H1 2026-08-07 (all 17 candidates
returned exactly 0.00359 nats): the tune loop re-inits the indicators and then
scores, with no RefreshData() between.
ReInitADIndicators() does its part - Create() builds a NEW handle carrying the
new parameters, and the feature cache is flagged stale so features really are
recomputed. But BufferTempDataCompute() reads the CIndicatorBuffer objects, and
only Refresh() copies data out of a handle into those. So every candidate was
scored on values still held from the PREVIOUS handle. My earlier guess in the
diagnostic ("suspect the feature cache") was wrong: the cache invalidation works.
Two things land together, because neither is safe alone:
1. RefreshData() after the re-init, so a candidate is scored on its own features.
2. A SELECTION GATE on the install. bestScore is a MAXIMUM over candidates, and
the maximum of N draws from a null beats its incumbent almost every time - so
"it beat the incumbent" installs noise. This selector is the highest-stakes of
the three found in this audit because it ACTS: it overwrites the user's
configured indicator settings and forces BuildFreshTopology(), so the network
then trains on whatever the noise picked. Fixing (1) without (2) would have
made a dormant bug actively harmful.
The gate draws the winner's own permutation null once, then corrects the p-value
for having chosen it out of N with Sidak: p_family = 1 - (1-p)^N. Sidak rather
than the max-of-N resample used by the geometry scan because each candidate here
has a DIFFERENT feature set, so their draws cannot be pooled; Sidak needs only
the one null. Exact under independence, mildly anti-conservative under positive
dependence - stated in the comment rather than hidden. A rejected winner restores
the configured settings, which best[] cannot do since the descent mutates it.
Also reports the least-ready tunable handle's BarsCalculated(). IndicatorCreate()
calculates asynchronously, so if the spread is STILL zero the handles simply are
not done and the tuner needs to yield between candidates rather than score them
back to back - a state machine like the label prebuild. That distinction is now
readable from the log instead of requiring another guess.
No input, topology or label change: no retrain.

fix: gate the barrier-geometry winner on a family-wise null, not its own
The scan ends by printing "set SL_Mode/TP_Mode to <winner> and retrain".
That advisory fired on `bestExcess > cfgExcess * 1.5` - a ratio between two
numbers, with no test that either is distinguishable from zero.
bestExcess is a MAXIMUM over the eligible candidates. The maximum of several
draws from a null sits well above any single draw from it, so a max-shaped
statistic tested against a single-candidate null crowns a winner on noise
almost every time. On SP500 H1 the winner is 2:8 at +0.00081 nats - and the

diag: MI feature-lag profile - close the blind spot in every MI verdict so far
BuildMiSample samples features from ONE bar. So every "MI is at the noise floor" result this codebase has produced - including yesterday's p=0.18 on SP500 H1 - described the ENTRY BAR's 31 features only, while the network is fed 20 bars of them. If information lived at lag 7 and not lag 0, the report would have said "no signal" while the model could still learn. The diagnostic we have been making decisions on had a blind spot exactly the width of the input vector. Adds a FEATURE-side offset to BuildMiSample, which is not the same thing as the existing labelBarOffset and is not interchangeable with it. Shifting the LABEL changes which trade is predicted, so at any non-zero offset the features sit inside the labelled window and the score is lookahead - that is precisely what the alignment scan measures and correctly reports (4.7x more knowable 5 bars into a 128-bar window). Shifting the FEATURES keeps the label pinned to the entry bar, so every row stays causal. ReportFeatureLagProfile() then scores k = 0..historyBars against the same block-permutation null and reports the deepest lag that clears it - the lookback the data supports, versus the 20 that was picked by hand and never measured. The null is redrawn PER LAG: finite-sample MI bias moves with the realised class counts and bin occupancy, and different rows survive the validity checks at each lag, so one shared floor would be right for lag 0 and wrong everywhere else. Draw count is reduced accordingly (40, not 200) since cost is draws x historyBars; this figure decides a lookback, never a trade. MiShiftPad now also covers historyBars, keeping the fixed-pad invariant that makes two builds comparable row by row. Read-only - no input, topology or label change, so no retrain. Both builds 0/0.

fix: correct MI sample alignment and improve BN weight diagnostic report
The MI sample builder used `MathAbs(labelBarOffset)` as a padding, causing rows from offset and non-offset builds to be paired with a double shift. This broke the positive control, failed the 5× gate, and voided all reported mutual‑information figures. Replace with the fixed `MiShiftPad` constant to ensure builds enumerate the same set of bars and row-k alignment is preserved. Add `BatchOptionsTotal()` to `CNeuronBatchNormOCL` and split the packed BN weight array in the learning report into separate norms for the outgoing dense matrix, gamma, beta, running statistics, and Adam moment buffers. This turns an ambiguous single‑norm reading into precise diagnostics that distinguish weight divergence from scaling issues. |

feat(ai): spread as a volatility-regime feature, and fix a stale-index cache in both new blocks
Adds spread/ATR and the spread change ratio as network inputs (EnableSpreadFeature,
default on). Spread is the one microstructure channel that is both FX-available and
genuinely historical in the Strategy Tester - "during testing, the spread is not modeled
but is taken from historical data" - so unlike swap, signed tick flow or depth of market it
is something a backtest can honestly validate.
What it encodes, stated precisely because the raw measurement overstates it.
research/test_spread.py found spr/atr the strongest single feature in this codebase, on 5
of 8 instrument/geometry cells at 2-4x any volume feature. But the barrier LABEL charges
the spread inside its own barriers, so a wide-spread bar is mechanically likelier to
resolve as a loss and the feature would partly be predicting its own cost model. Relabelling
at zero cost and re-measuring the identical feature showed 20-40% of it WAS that tautology
and the majority was not (XAUUSD retained 97%). What survives is a volatility-regime
reading: spread is near-fixed while ATR is not, so the ratio runs high exactly when
realised volatility is below its own ATR estimate, which genuinely predicts whether
ATR-scaled barriers get reached. It is UNSIGNED - Neutral-vs-directional only, never a side.
Also fixes a stale-index bug I introduced with the cross-asset panel and had just repeated
in the spread series. Both cached on length alone:
if(m_crossAsset.Bars() >= bars) return true;
MQL5 series indices are relative to NOW, so one new closed candle shifts every index by
one. Keyed only on length, the panel keeps serving its index 0 as a bar that is no longer
the newest, and every cross-asset value is read one bar out of step with the price features
sitting beside it in the same vector - silently, with no error and no shape change. This is
the same class of defect as the dtStudied watermark behind the zero-direction backtests.
Both now carry a datetime anchor on m_Time.GetData(0), the same invalidation key the
label/feature bar caches already use.
And a performance fix that fell out of it: with correct invalidation the panel rebuilds on
every new bar, and RefreshConvergedSignal runs per bar - which in the tester would mean one
full multi-symbol resample per simulated bar at training depth. Inference only reads bars
0..m_historyBars-1 plus the panel's own slow window, so it now requests exactly that. The
cache check is >=, so a deeper panel left from training still satisfies it.

fix(signals): revive a dead MA model, and demote Sanyaku from state to event
Two defects surfaced by research/test_classic.py, both verified fixed by re-running the
transcription against 178k bars of EURUSD H1.
CSignalMA model 1 could never fire. For any recursive average - and MA_TYPE_EMA is the
shipped default - MA(i) = a*Close(i) + (1-a)*MA(i+1), so
DiffMA(i) = a * (Close(i) - MA(i+1))
DiffCloseMA(i) = (1-a) * (Close(i) - MA(i+1))
are positive multiples of one quantity and always share a sign. Model 1 asks for a close
BELOW a RISING average, which is precisely the combination that identity forbids: 0.000%
of bars, either direction, any symbol. The MQL5 standard library this was ported from
defaults to MODE_SMA, where the two are merely correlated - the bug arrived with the EMA
default, not with the port. Reading the slope one bar back (DiffMAPrev) breaks the tie for
every MA type while keeping the model's stated meaning. Now fires on 7.92% of bars.
CSignalIchimoku model 11 fired on 27% of bars at weight 100. Sanyaku is three standing
STATES conjoined with no transition term, so it held across long stretches - and being
last in the if-chain at the top weight, the module's highest-conviction reading was also
its most common one, overwriting all eight event models below it on a quarter of all bars.
The old comment rejected an event form because "demanding all three flip on the same bar
would fire almost never" - true, but that is not the alternative. Kouten is the TURN: the
ALIGNMENT transitions, and only one role need change for it to. Testing !Sanyaku(idx+1)
fires once per aligned stretch. Now 2.17%, in line with Kumo breakout (2.4%) and the
strong TK cross (1.1%). DataReady() extended one bar deeper to cover the lookback.
Neither pattern showed edge before or after; this is about the models meaning what they
say and the vote not being dominated by a constant.

fix(deinit): a full model write was running ahead of the cheap cleanup
"Abnormal termination" is back, and this time it is not the arrows. The timing names the culprit exactly: 16:02:31.547 OnDeinit: shutting down 16:02:36.003 Abnormal termination <- 4.46 s, MetaTrader gave up 16:02:36.226 chart signals - persisted <- cleanup finished 0.2 s LATE OnDeinit called StopTraining() BEFORE the chart cleanup. StopTraining() finalises an in-flight run, and FinalizeTrainRun() restores the best checkpoint and then persists it - a full ~1MB model write per signal. So the expensive step ran ahead of the cheap bounded one, which is precisely the inversion the shutdown ordering exists to prevent. The previous fix put PersistWeightsOnShutdown last and missed that StopTraining smuggles a second save in at the front. Two changes: Cleanup now runs FIRST, then StopTraining, then the weight save. The visible teardown is cheap and bounded, so it always completes even when everything after it is killed. And the deploy-persist inside FinalizeTrainRun is suppressed during shutdown. RestoreWeights() is an in-MEMORY swap, so the best checkpoint is already the live net by that line, and PersistWeightsOnShutdown writes exactly those weights moments later. The old path wrote the same model twice per signal - eight full writes across four charts - for no benefit. A user-pressed Stop still persists immediately, because nothing else would.

research: export the feature matrix and a raw OHLCV grid for offline work
The bottleneck on this project has never been the modelling - it is that
every hypothesis costs a compile, a deploy, an attach and a log read, and
answers exactly one question. Days have gone into questions that are
seconds of arithmetic once the data is in hand.
Adds a RESEARCH-ONLY build, gated behind WARRIOR_EXPORT_FEATURES and
never compiled into a shipped binary, which writes two things to
Common\Files\Warrior_EA\Research\ and then does nothing at all:
<symbol>_<tf>_features.csv - one row per bar: index, time, OHLC, ATR,
and the m_neuronsCount feature values. Exactly what the network sees.
The raw bars ride along on purpose: with OHLC and ATR offline, every
barrier geometry, horizon and in-trade target is recomputable without
MetaTrader in the loop.
<symbol>_<tf>_rates.csv - raw OHLCV across a grid of 8 symbols x 5
timeframes. The 26 engineered features only exist for the attached
chart (indicator handles bind to PERIOD_CURRENT); raw rates do not, so
ONE attach yields the whole research grid. The bar time also makes
session/hour/day-of-week derivable - the only inputs in play that are
not a transform of the same OHLCV series.
Safety, because this binary gets attached to a chart on a LIVE ACCOUNT to
reach real history:
- OnTick returns immediately, so Expert.OnTick() - the entire trading
path - is unreachable regardless of the AlgoTrading toggle, the
signal state or the inputs. Structurally incapable of sending an
order, not merely unlikely to.
- No config lock. It never trains and never saves a model, so it has
nothing to protect against a concurrent chart - and taking the lock
would make it refuse to start exactly when the config it wants to
read is already open, which is when it is most useful.

fix(diag): the symbol sweep was measuring its own sampling, not the market
Twelve cells came back with higher-timeframe "signal" 5-9x anything on H1, at p=0.005. It was an artifact, and the sweep's own columns gave it away: excess tracked the sampling STRIDE almost monotonically, and the three D1 cells - stride collapsed to 1-5 bars against a 128-bar horizon, i.e. ~99% window overlap - were the three highest. Three flaws, all the same family: comparing numbers without the spread that belongs to them. 1. THE NULL ASSUMED INDEPENDENCE THE LABELS DO NOT HAVE. Triple-barrier labels overlap; two rows less than one horizon apart share most of their outcome window. A free Fisher-Yates shuffle destroys that dependence along with the association, making the null far narrower than the truth and handing out significance that isn't there - Lopez de Prado ch. 4 arriving through the back door of the significance test. Now permutes contiguous BLOCKS of at least one horizon, so the null keeps the autocorrelation and the p-value means what it says. It degrades honestly: severe overlap leaves few blocks, the null widens, nothing reaches significance. The block count is now printed, because THAT - not the row count - is the sample size a p-value rests on, and a warning fires under 30 blocks so "not significant" is not misread as "no signal" when it means "not enough independent history to tell". 2. THE POSITIVE CONTROL'S STRENGTH DEPENDED ON THE DATASET. It paired each row's label with the NEXT SAMPLE ROW's, whose distance is the stride - so on M5, where stride ran 160-717 bars against a 128-bar horizon, it was pairing two windows that never overlap. All three M5 cells duly reported a FAILED estimator and voided their own results with nothing wrong. A control whose strength varies with the cell cannot certify the cell. Now pinned to a quarter of the horizon, where ~75% overlap is guaranteed by construction. 3. THE LOOKAHEAD VERDICT HAD NO MARGIN. It flagged 7 of 12 cells on gaps of 0.00008-0.00040 nats against a measured null sd of ~0.00030 - noise, every one. Now requires 3 sd, the same discipline the deploy floor applies to precision.

fix(labels): the 128-bar horizon ceiling was truncating the shipped label
The corrected geometry scan exposed something bigger than the geometry
question it was asked. Every pairing from 2:6 upward came back CLAMPED -
including 2:6, the SHIPPED configuration.
First-passage time for a driftless walk leaving [-m,+k] goes as m*k, and
the measured swing median here is ~12 bars at m*k=1, so 2:6 wants ~144
bars and 3:10 wants ~360. The ladder stopped at 128. A clamped label
stops meaning "does the target come before the stop" and quietly becomes
"...within 128 bars", while the deployed EA holds until SL or TP with no
bar limit. So the target the models have been trained on all along was
not the strategy the EA executes, and the trades it silently reclassified
as Neutral were the SLOW WINNERS - precisely the ones a 1:3 barrier
exists to capture. Timeout share stayed ~0% throughout, which is why this
never showed up: the truncation lands in Neutral, not in the timeout
counter that was watching for it.
Ladder extended to 384 (12..128, 192, 256, 384) so every selectable
geometry gets an honest horizon. Cost is one embargo of at most 384 bars
out of ~38k.
Second fix, same class of error as the H(Y) one: the scan's "best
eligible" was 2:2, a 1:1 barrier, against a shipped Min_Risk_Reward_Ratio
of 1:2. Training four topologies on that target would have produced a
model whose every setup is rejected at the door - the exact failure
behind four consecutive Market rejections for "no trading operations".
Sub-minRR geometries are now ineligible and marked [<minRR], printed
rather than hidden.
Also drops the dense-depth tag from the display name ("Perceptron 3L" ->
"Perceptron"). Depth is derived, so it names nothing a user chose; the
config tag [PAI-0be2] already disambiguates concurrent charts and does it
for every input rather than one. Full topology still logged by "config -".
Compiles 0 errors / 0 warnings, standard and Market. Build tag
horizon-384-v1. Changes the LABEL for every geometry, so the next scan
supersedes the previous numbers - and a retrain is required before any
model trained under the truncated target means anything.

fix(labels): the geometry scan rewarded the labels it should reject
First run named 3:10 on all four charts, at 2.3x the configured 2:6. That answer was wrong and the fault was the ranking statistic. 3:10 wants a horizon of ~swingMedian*30 (~320 bars) and gets BARRIER_HORIZON_MAX. Clamped, most trades never resolve, the unresolved remainder all lands in Neutral, and H(Y) collapses. The old statistic divided the excess BY H(Y) - so a collapsing denominator made the most degenerate label look like the most predictable one. Every geometry from 2:6 upward was already showing the clamped h128, and the two widest scored highest, which is the fingerprint of the artefact rather than of signal. Two fixes: Rank on the raw excess in nats. Subtracting each geometry's OWN measured null already removes the class-balance bias, which is the only thing the normalisation was ever needed for. Disqualify clamped geometries outright rather than ranking them down. The deployed EA holds until SL or TP with no bar limit, so a truncated label trains the model on a question the strategy never asks. They are still printed, marked '!', so the disqualification is visible instead of a silent omission - and the scan now says so explicitly when nothing eligible is left, because "the limit is the feature set, not the target" is itself the finding in that case. The scan also reports each geometry's directional share and timeout share now. A label nobody can trade is not a candidate however well it scores, and that has to be visible in the same line as the score. Compiles 0 errors / 0 warnings. Build tag geometry-scan-v2.

feat(labels): measure which barrier is predictable at entry, don't guess
The alignment scan settled the shape of the problem: 4.7x more is knowable 5 bars into a 128-bar window than at the entry the model actually trades. A 6xATR target reached over 128 bars is decided overwhelmingly by what happens DURING the window, so whatever the entry state knows is buried under 128 bars of later noise. That is a property of the TARGET, and it is why four different architectures all landed on precision exactly equal to the base rate - no topology can undo it. So measure the target. For each SL/TP pairing a user can actually select, relabel the same sampled bars and score how much the SAME features say about THAT outcome at entry. Seconds, no training, no topology, and it runs on the diagnostic path that already exists. Ranked on excess over its OWN null as a share of its OWN H(Y), never on raw nats: each geometry has a different class balance, hence a different finite-sample bias and a different amount of information there to find, so raw MI would rank the most BALANCED label rather than the most PREDICTABLE one. The break-even win rate m/(m+k) is printed beside each so the ranking is read next to the bar the model must clear. Stated in the output because it is the easy thing to get wrong: chance precision EQUALS break-even at every geometry, so a tighter target does not hand you expectancy. It buys predictability - less noise piled on top of what the entry state knows - which is the one thing changing topology cannot do. Read-only by construction: it relabels a sampled copy via TripleBarrierLabel(), never writes the label cache (which belongs to the configured geometry), and restores the horizon and overrides it borrowed. The overrides apply only when BOTH are positive, so a half-set pair can never silently relabel a live run. Compiles 0 errors / 0 warnings, standard and Market. Build tag geometry-scan-v1. Redeploy only - no retrain to READ the ranking. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

diag(autotune): a positive control, and a scan that separates "no signal"
from "signal knocked out of step" Four architecturally different networks landed on the same precision - Buy 23-25% against a 25.4% base rate, Sell 19-22% against 22.0% - while making completely different calls (HYBRID votes Sell on 69% of bars, PAI on 41%). Precision equal to the base rate is what INDEPENDENCE looks like, and precision under independence is fixed by the label distribution, not by the architecture, so all four converging on it is arithmetic rather than coincidence. Accuracy meanwhile tracks coverage exactly as independence predicts (31.1/30.3/25.0 predicted vs 31.8/28.9/24.6 observed for PAI/CONV/HYB). But "no information in the data" and "information destroyed upstream of every topology" produce that identical picture, and the MI test alone cannot tell them apart either. Two additions: POSITIVE CONTROL. Three "measurements" in this codebase have turned out to be silent no-ops that produced plausible numbers - the MI scorer reading an array nobody filled, the eval-mode guard that switched off the imbalance correction, the alternation gate whose premise was never true. So the estimator now has to prove it responds to a signal known to be present before any floor reading is believed: the label of a neighbouring sample row, ~19 bars away and far inside the 128-bar barrier horizon, so the two outcome windows overlap heavily and MUST be associated. Same binning, same estimator. Near the floor => every MI figure is void. ALIGNMENT SCAN. Re-scores against the label taken from bar i+k for k in -5..+5. A peak at k != 0 is a feature/label misalignment - an off-by-one in the label index, a horizon applied to the wrong bar, a feature window that lags what it claims - which would destroy the information before any topology saw it and would look identical in every accuracy number this EA prints. A flat profile says the features simply do not carry this target. The sampled range is trimmed by |k| at both ends so a shift is measured rather than an edge effect, and both bars must carry a real label. Also: BuildMiSample publishes its stride instead of the report recomputing that arithmetic (it would drift), and the control sizes its buffers from its own sample count rather than the caller's. Compiles 0 errors / 0 warnings, standard and Market. Build tag mi-control-align-v1. Redeploy only - no retrain, no model deletion; the diagnostic runs on resumed models.

diag(autotune): stop making the feature test cost a trained model
The permutation test lived inside TuneIndicatorsByFilter, which is gated on era 0 - correctly, because re-running the SWEEP would change the input vector out from under weights already fitted to the old one. But the test itself reads cached features and writes nothing, so none of that applies to it, and the gate meant the only way to see the answer on a running model was to delete the model. Today that price was PAI's 45 trained eras and CONV's 31, spent to re-ask a read-only question. Split into ReportFeatureLabelInformation(), called from the sweep when it runs and directly when it does not - a resumed model, a disabled tuner, nothing tunable. Once per attach either way.

diag(autotune): five permutations was still a coin flip - use a real test
The 5-draw z-score shipped an hour ago disproved itself on its first run. All four charts scored the IDENTICAL 0.00401 nats on identical features and identical labels - and reported z of +1.3, +2.0, +4.0 and +4.7. Two "AT THE NOISE FLOOR", two "a real association", same data. The entire swing came from estimating the null's spread from five draws, where the standard deviation of the standard-deviation estimate is ~35%: the denominator was noisier than the effect it was judging. Replaced with an empirical permutation test. 200 draws, p counted by rank with the +1/(B+1) correction (Phipson & Smyth 2010) so p is never reported as exactly zero - no normality assumption and no spread to estimate. The strongest single column is tested against the null distribution OF THE MAXIMUM, which corrects for scoring 26 features at once by construction and is far less conservative than Bonferroni. Affordable because BuildMiSample is now split out of ScoreCurrentParamsByMI and runs ONCE for the whole test - every draw reuses that sample and costs a relabel plus 26 histogram passes, not 2000 feature extractions. The coordinate sweep still calls the combined form, which is correct there: each candidate changes the indicator settings, so its features really do have to be re-extracted. The verdict line keeps both questions apart and prints both answers: the p-value for "is it real", the excess as a percentage of H(Y) for "is it big enough to trade". At n=2000 those can disagree, and collapsing them into one word is how a worthless effect gets called a discovery. Compiles 0 errors / 0 warnings. Build tag permtest-v1.

fix(chart): arrows survived the EA that drew them - persist, then clear
Reported: on deinit the panel and status label go, the signal arrows stay. Two independent causes, both fixed here. 1. It was partly deliberate. ShutdownChartCleanup carried a second behaviour selected by a `preserveChartArrows` flag derived from the deinit reason: on RECOMPILE / PARAMETERS / CHARTCHANGE / TEMPLATE the arrows were left on the chart on purpose, to avoid a reload flicker. That branch IS the reported symptom, an operator cannot tell it apart from a cleanup that failed, and it was outright wrong whenever the reload changed the config - REASON_PARAMETERS means exactly that, and the preserved arrows then belonged to a model the chart no longer runs, with nothing marking them stale. It is gone, along with the flag and m_purgeChartOnDestruct. One path now: persist, clear, restore on the next attach. 2. Whatever remains was unfalsifiable. PurgeChart was a single ObjectsDeleteAll(prefix) whose return value was discarded, with no caller ever looking at the chart again - so "the arrows are still there" and "the arrows were never there" produced identical evidence, which is why the report survived three sessions. It now verifies: after the bulk delete it walks the OBJ_ARROW-typed list (a handful of objects, not the whole chart), deletes any surviving WarSig_ by name, and says so. Costs one typed scan when the bulk delete works, which is the normal case; names the root cause when it does not. Every failure mode of SaveChartSignals was also silent - it returned void and had three bare early returns. It returns bool now, logs the open error with the filename, and the shutdown purge is CONDITIONAL on it: for a converged model the chart objects are the only copy of its signal history (nothing redraws them - the renderer runs per training era and a deployed model has none left), so a chart left littered because the disk write failed beats a clean chart bought by destroying the history. Either way the log now says which happened. Also states the user's rule once, where arrows come back rather than across InitNeuralNetwork's several exits: no weights loaded for this config => clear the sidecar and start visually clean. A fresh run must not inherit calls it never made, and the first save would otherwise adopt them (the sidecar is rebuilt by scanning the chart). Compiles 0 errors / 0 warnings, standard and Market. Needs redeploy. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(autotune): MI scorer read an array nobody filled; add the permutation floor
THE TUNER WAS A SILENT NO-OP. Every chart logged auto-tune complete - 17 candidate settings scored in ~139s, feature/label mutual information 0.0000 -> 0.0000 nats (no improvement) 0.0000 is not a weak result, it is a broken measurement: finite-sample MI is biased UPWARD, so even pure noise scores above zero. Cause: ScoreCurrentParamsByMI called BufferTempDataCompute(), which APPENDS the bar's features to TempData and never touches m_featureCache - only the caching wrapper BufferTempData() writes that array. It then read m_featureCache, which ReInitADIndicators had just invalidated. Every column came back constant, FeatureColumnMI returned 0 for all of them, and all 17 candidates tied at exactly zero. 139 s per chart to return the settings it started with. Now reads the values back out of TempData, where they actually land. And an exactly-zero best score is called out as a fault rather than reported as "no improvement", because that is what it is. ADDED: a PERMUTATION BASELINE, which is the diagnostic this project has been missing. MI's finite-sample bias is ~(bins-1)(classes-1)/(2n) nats - at these sample sizes the same order as any real edge in this domain - so a raw MI figure is uninterpretable on its own. Shuffling the labels destroys every genuine association while leaving sample size, binning and class proportions intact, so the score it produces IS this dataset's noise floor, measured rather than approximated. The log now reads feature/label information - X nats against a shuffled-label floor of Y and says outright whether the features carry usable information about the target. It needs no training, no topology and no convergence, so unlike every accuracy number in this codebase it cannot be confounded by an optimizer or an objective. If the score sits on the floor, no change of architecture can help - which is the question the last three days of zero-edge results have been circling. DEPLOY FLOOR: `dirPrecPct > chancePrecPct` passed anything above chance by any amount. At ~11,000 directional calls the standard error of the precision estimate is ~0.4pp, so that gate was accepting sub-one-sigma noise - the perceptron deployed at edge +0pp on 2026-08-01. Now requires EDGE_MIN_SIGMAS (2.0) standard errors above chance, computed from the actual call count, so the bar scales with the evidence instead of needing a hand-picked constant. Recorded with it, because it is why chance is the right reference at all: under a driftless random walk P(touch +k*ATR before -m*ATR) = m/(m+k), and the break-even win rate for a k:m reward:risk trade is ALSO m/(m+k). The label's own base rate IS the break-even rate, at every SL/TP setting. So "beats chance" and "is profitable" are the same test, and no choice of SL/TP can manufacture an edge - only prediction can. Both builds compile 0 errors / 0 warnings.

fix(deinit): O(n^2) arrow prune blew the shutdown budget and littered 3 charts
Reported as "the perceptron correctly cleaned its chart on deinit, the
other 3 did not, abnormal termination". Measured from the 2026-08-01 log,
time from "OnDeinit: shutting down" to MetaTrader force-terminating:
PAI 3.75 s -> survived, chart cleaned
CONV 4.71 s -> Abnormal termination
LSTM 4.28 s -> Abnormal termination
HYBRID 4.16 s -> Abnormal termination
In all four the last line printed is the inference census, which is the
end of StopTraining() - so the overrun is inside ShutdownChartCleanup(),
i.e. between saving the arrows and purging them.
The cost is the prune loop at the end of SaveChartSignals():
for(int i = 0; i < prunedCount; i++)
ObjectDelete(0, SIG_ARROW_PREFIX + TimeToString(pruned[i]));
ObjectDelete is O(objects) on a crowded chart, so this is O(n^2). It was
harmless while the model called a direction on ~6% of bars. After the
triple-barrier relabel the models call on 83-94% of bars, the chart
carries many thousands of arrows, and the loop overran MetaTrader's
OnDeinit budget - so PurgeChart() never ran and the arrows stayed on
screen. The slow tidy-up starved the fast one.
The work was pure waste at that moment: ShutdownChartCleanup purges every
arrow with a single bulk ObjectsDeleteAll immediately afterwards.
Deleting them one at a time first has no effect except to prevent the
bulk delete from happening at all.
SaveChartSignals takes a pruneChartObjects flag, and the two shutdown
call sites pass false:
- ShutdownChartCleanup passes `preserveChartArrows`, which is exactly
right: prune when the arrows are STAYING (chart and sidecar must
agree), skip when they are about to be purged wholesale.
- FinalizeTrainRun passes !m_trainingStopRequested. Removing a chart
MID-ERA reaches StopTraining -> FinalizeTrainRun, which took the
expensive path a second time, even earlier, before anything had been
cleared. Same defect one call site up; it only escaped notice because
the observed removals happened to land between eras.
Normal convergence and the live per-era path are unchanged - they still
prune, which is what keeps the chart object count bounded.
This also restores the invariant the 2026-07 fix intended ("chart cleanup
runs BEFORE the heavy weight save so a stall cannot leave the chart
littered"). That fix moved cleanup ahead of the WEIGHT save, but cleanup
had since grown its own slow step ahead of its own fast one.
Both builds compile 0 errors / 0 warnings.

perf(autotune): replace the genetic search with a filter score - hours to seconds
MEASURED COST OF THE GA, which is what retired it. Per generation: rung 0: 8 cand x 3 seeds x 3 eras = 72 eras rung 1: 4 cand x 3 seeds x 8 eras = 96 rung 2: 2 cand x 3 seeds x 20 eras = 120 = 288 eras/generation x 4 generations = 1152 eras BEFORE the winner's real training began. Against the observed era times on SP500 H1: PAI 29.1 s/era -> 9.3 h (matches the observed 00:37 -> 09:22) CONV 41.3 s/era -> 13.2 h LSTM 150.4 s/era -> 48.1 h HYBRID 154.6 s/era -> 49.5 h Two days to tune is not a first-run experience, and it is the phase in which the panel goes quiet, which is what made it look like a hang. It also bought nothing. The space is 90 points (10 MA periods x 9 MA types), so 1152 evaluations revisited each point ~13 times; and rungs of 3 and 8 eras cannot separate two MA periods at all. The 2026-08-01 run proves it: every finalist scored 25.0-25.9% balanced accuracy - below the 33.3% one-class floor, i.e. indistinguishable noise - and the search then "deployed the winner" of that. THE ERROR WAS THE SCORING FUNCTION, not its constants. Using a full training run to choose a feature's period is a wrapper method paying wrapper prices for a decision that does not need one. The reference book does not do this: ch. 3.3 selects inputs by measuring each candidate indicator's CORRELATION with the target and dropping the ones with none, with no network involved. So: rank candidates by the MUTUAL INFORMATION between the resulting feature vector and the triple-barrier label. MI rather than correlation because the label is 3-class categorical and the features are not monotonically related to it. Equal-FREQUENCY binning (rank-based), because these features are ATR-normalised and heavy-tailed - fixed-width bins put nearly everything in one bucket and report ~0 information for a genuinely useful feature. Scoring is arithmetic over the feature cache, so it costs seconds and its cost is independent of topology: LSTM now tunes as fast as the MLP. Coordinate sweep, not product sweep - cost is the SUM of per-parameter candidate counts, so enabling every indicator stays affordable - with a second pass that breaks early once nothing moves. Sampling is IS-ONLY. Letting the OOS window influence which indicator settings ship would mean the holdout had been used for selection and had stopped being a holdout. HONEST LIMIT, recorded because it is the price: MI is marginal, so a parameter that only pays off in combination with another can be missed (Guyon & Elisseeff 2003, filter vs wrapper). Given the wrapper it replaces was ranking pure noise at 48 h a run, this is strictly better. Deleted with it: GaRungEras/GaExtract/GaStore/GaMutate/GaRandomCandidate/ GaBlockCrossover/GaSortAliveByScoreDesc/GaBreedNextGeneration, 14 m_ga* members, the GA_*/TUNE_POP_* constants, and ComputeTuneTrialBudget. AND m_evalMode/m_evalEraBudget, because nothing set them any more - 28 read sites all permanently inert. That is not a tidy-up: the `if (!m_evalMode)` guard on UpdateClassPriors is exactly what silently disabled the imbalance correction for entire runs two commits ago. Dead machinery that still reads like live machinery is this codebase's most expensive recurring bug, and leaving 28 more instances of it would have been indefensible. The panel's tuning-progress state goes too - tuning no longer takes long enough to need one. Both builds compile 0 errors / 0 warnings. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix: the imbalance correction never ran during the auto-tune search
Neutral collapse on all four topologies by era 5 with a 2:6 barrier (recall Buy 0% / Sell 0% / Neutral 100%), and the panel stuck on "measuring...". One root cause, and it was not the barrier. The labels were fine: Buy 25.4% / Sell 22.0% / Neutral 52.5%, which is exactly gambler's ruin for m=2,k=6 (2/8 = 25% per side), with only 0.1% of Neutral coming from the vertical barrier - so the new m*k horizon scaling is right, arguably generous. What was broken: Train()'s era-start block wrapped UpdateClassPriors() in `if(!m_evalMode)`. The auto-tune GA scores every candidate in eval mode, and AutoTuneIndicators ships ON, so on a default configuration EVERY era of the search ran with unmeasured priors. ApplyLogitAdjustment() requires measured priors; without them it calls ClearLogitAdjustment() and returns. So the entire search trained under PLAIN cross-entropy. With a 52.5% majority class the optimum of plain CE is "always predict Neutral", and that is precisely what all four models found. The panel followed: its counters only advance on bars the model CALLED Buy or Sell, so a collapsed model leaves them at zero and the line reads "measuring..." forever. This was latent, not new. It has been true for every auto-tuned run, but it was invisible while the labels were near-balanced - last night's accidental 1:1 barrier gave 43/40/17, where plain CE has no majority to collapse into. Widening the stop to 2*ATR (correctly - 1*ATR is too tight to survive noise) moved Neutral to the majority and exposed it. The guard's stated fear cannot happen. These priors are measured from the LABEL distribution, and the tuner only perturbs indicator periods (MA/RSI/MACD/Ichimoku/AD). The barrier label depends on ATR, SL_Mode and TP_Mode - none of which the search touches - so every candidate sees byte-identical labels and identical priors. There is nothing to contaminate. What the guard actually protected was the .stats write, and that is gated separately: eval candidates never checkpoint and never persist. Also, because this is the THIRD quiet no-op to cost a run in this codebase (after the fictional oversampling log line and the shadow-blend skip): - ApplyLogitAdjustment() now WARNS when it declines to install, instead of silently clearing. A mechanism that cannot announce it is not running is indistinguishable from one that is. - The panel distinguishes "measuring..." (before era 1, nothing scored yet - an honest warm-up) from "no directional calls yet" (eras trained, zero calls - a finding, not a wait). Both builds compile 0 errors / 0 warnings. No retrain forced by this commit itself, but the collapsed models must be discarded. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

refactor(inputs): 96 -> 70 inputs; remove two untested/unusable filter modules
Every removal below is FINGERPRINT-NEUTRAL by construction: each retired input is pinned to the exact value it already shipped with, so running models keep their filenames and resume rather than restarting at era 0. Verified field by field against BuildConfigFingerprint. Removed as inputs, kept as pinned constants (the value was never a preference the user had a basis to change): - OutputNeuronsCount. The regression head predicts a continuous quantity the triple-barrier label does not contain; the target is an EVENT, so the right output is its probability. The regression code paths stay implemented and dormant - they cost nothing and removing them would touch every scoring path at once. - MinRecall. A safety floor, not a preference, and the only direction a user can move it is the harmful one: raising it past what the config reaches yields NO model, not a better one (observed repeatedly at 60). - SwingConfirmationBars. Stopped gating the labels with the relabel, but is STILL load-bearing for the swing-context input features - it is the ZigZag repainting embargo, and without it those 9 features read a leg the live bar could not have had yet. Pinned, not deleted. - MaxErasPerRun (runaway backstop, never reached in a healthy run), FreezePriorCalibration (unanswerable by a user; near-balanced labels make the priors stable anyway), VerboseMode (developer view, joins DebuggingMode), MACD/Ichimoku periods x6 (both indicators ship disabled, and as optimizer dimensions they are pure overfitting surface - the AI auto-tuner is the supported way to move them). - SignalClusterWindow -> 3, no longer an input. Barrier labels make consecutive setups real, which argued for 0; it is not 0 because on D1+ a 6-bar window spans over a week and two arrows a day apart on a weekly-scale move are one event. 3 splits it correctly by timeframe. - EnableOnlineLearning -> ON. Adapting to a changing market is what keeps a months-attached model from going stale, and the rolling-accuracy freeze is what makes it safe. See the caveat noted in the handoff: it had not been forward-tested on a live feed when this became default. Removed entirely: - Intraday Time Filter (5 inputs + Signals/SignalITF.mqh). Two of its five inputs were raw BITMASKS, which is an implementation detail exposed as a control. The job is covered three times over by things that are declarative or that learn: the session filter, the time-of-day/day-of-week input features (the network discovers which hours are good rather than being told), and the journal's time buckets. - Market Depth Filter (5 inputs + Signals/SignalMarketDepth.mqh, plus its OnInit probe and OnDeinit release). It needs real level-2 data that this broker - and most retail MT5 brokers - do not provide, so the module has never once executed against real data. Shipping four tuning dropdowns for an untested path is worse than shipping nothing: the only users who could enable it would be its first-ever testers, live. If DOM returns it should be a FEATURE fed to the network, not a rule-based veto with hand-tuned thresholds - imbalance is data. - IndicatorTuneTrials, replaced by ComputeTuneTrialBudget(). The useful budget depends on how many parameters are actually being searched, which depends on which features are enabled - so one number meant wildly different things run to run. The shipped 32 was ~10 candidates per dimension against one enabled indicator (wasteful: each costs GA_SEEDS full training runs) and under one per dimension against all nine (blind). Now population ~ 4 x active dimensions, clamped [8,64], with CADIndicatorTuner::ActiveDimensions() defined immediately above PerturbRandom() so the two cannot drift apart. - Six orphaned enums (TUNE_TRIALS_PRESET, DOM_*, ENTRY_HOUR_OF_DAY, TIME_FILTER_DAY_OF_WEEK), 81 lines. Other UX: - SL_ATR_x1 / TP_ATR_x3 now carry the "(classic)" default marker every other preset enum in the file already used. Nothing in the SL/TP dropdowns previously told a user which pair was the shipped default - which matters far more since the relabel, because those two define the labels and changing either forces a retrain. - Neural Network section moved directly ABOVE AI Input Features: choose the architecture, then choose what it sees. NN Optimizer / Performance stays last - the Adam/Sgd inputs are declared in AI/Network.mqh and render immediately after that divider. - News feature + window moved to the end of the AI feature list, below Wyckoff Bar Inversion. - Dropped "(0-100)" from Min vote to open - it is an enum, not a number. Both builds compile 0 errors / 0 warnings. No retrain forced. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(ai): triple-barrier labels replace exact-pivot ZigZag targets
The 31:1 class imbalance was self-inflicted by the TARGET, not a property of the market. Labelling only the exact bar where a ZigZag pivot confirms gave Buy 1164 / Sell 1164 / Neutral 35841, and every correction mechanism this codebase accumulated sits downstream of that one choice: the logit-adjusted loss and its range cap, the prior EMA, the +-3.0 output-bias seed, balanced-accuracy-then-precision selection with its coverage floor, the recall floor and its catch-22, the alternation gate, NMS, and the four oversampling designs that collapsed before them. The reference this engine is built on (references/neuronetworksbook.pdf ch. 3.1/3.3) also uses ZigZag, but targets the DIRECTION TO THE NEXT EXTREMUM on every bar - ~50/50 by construction, with no imbalance to correct at all. It never had this problem because it never asked "is this the pivot bar". Labels are now the triple barrier (Lopez de Prado ch. 3), using the EA's OWN SL_Mode/TP_Mode: does a trade opened at this bar's close reach its target before its stop, within a horizon. Buy = long resolves, Sell = short resolves, Neutral = neither. Consequences: - dir-precision in the era line stops being a proxy and becomes the win rate of the strategy under its own exit rules. - Expected balance ~25/25/50 at the shipped 1:3 (gambler's ruin), i.e. ~2:1 instead of 31:1. Measured and logged at the end of the prebuild. - Spread is charged on both legs, so it is a NET win rate. - Intrabar ambiguity resolves to the STOP. OHLC cannot order two touches inside one bar and the optimistic reading is how a backtested edge becomes a live loss. ZigZag stays as input features (EnableSwingContext) and now also supplies the vertical barrier: the horizon is the median confirmed leg length, snapped to a coarse ladder. Derived, not configured, and deliberately kept out of the filename fingerprint - a filename keyed on a measured quantity orphans a trained model the moment the measurement moves. Removed, because the premise died with the old target: - the alternation gate. Correct for pivot labels (a ZigZag cannot emit two same-type pivots in a row, so a repeat was provably a false fire), and wrong for barrier labels, which answer each bar independently. It also took its worst consequence with it: a one-sided model previously got ONE trade per backtest, a hard blocker on marketplace validation. - SignalClusterWindow now defaults off - it de-duplicated repeats that are now real trades. Kept as an opt-in display control. - LABEL_WINDOW_BARS, the pivot-widening pass, ConfirmedZigZagLabel. - the era-0 output-bias seed now needs a genuinely dominant class (0.70) rather than 0.40; at ~50% Neutral a +-3.0 seed is a distortion, not a correction. Also fixed, both found while wiring the above: 1. RefreshConvergedSignal sized its buffers from a date delta (Bars(sym, period, dtStudied, TimeCurrent())). dtStudied is a training watermark; in the tester it is loaded from a live-chart save AHEAD of the simulated date, so the interval inverted, Bars() returned ~0, and the buffer came out at exactly m_historyBars - deep enough for the OHLC window and far too shallow for the Donchian-50 / 20-bar-return / SMA extension behind it. Inference silently computed DIFFERENT features from the ones training learned on, live as well as in the tester. Now sized from what the feature builder actually needs. 2. The barrier horizon is resolved on the deployed path too. A deployed model never enters Train(), so it never reached the prebuild, and OnlineLearnStep reads the horizon as its confirmation delay - left at the fallback it would have backpropped bars whose barriers had not resolved. Silent lookahead in the one place that writes to a live model. SL_Mode/TP_Mode join the weights fingerprint: they define the labels now, so a model trained at 1:3 must never be silently reused at 1:1. This re-keys every pre-existing model by design - none were trained on this task. Inference census extended with the vote gate. LongCondition/ShortCondition open with a readiness check the refresh counters never see; in the tester it reduces to "the seeded _optcache.nnw must have LOADED", and if it did not, every vote is hard-zeroed while the model still answers Buy. The old three counters would have read that as "the model says Neutral" - false, and a completely different fix. This is the leading candidate for the zero-direction backtest and the census can now name it in one run. Both builds compile 0 errors / 0 warnings. Forces a full retrain.

diag: inference-path census, to explain zero-trade backtests
A backtest of the CONVERGED CONV model produced "Final directional result: 0.00000000" on every one of 1744 bars and therefore zero trades. Nothing in the log could separate the three candidate causes, and each needs a different fix: 1. RefreshLatestSignal never called (new-bar gate never fires) 2. called, but bailing at one of its two early returns 3. running fine, and the model genuinely answers Neutral every bar Counts all three plus the Buy/Sell/Neutral split, printed once at shutdown via StopTraining (which the tester reaches through OnDeinit). Three increments per bar against a full feedForward - not worth gating. Ruled out while writing this, so the next session does not re-derive it: - the alternation gate (m_lastNonNeutralSignal) is NOT the cause. It starts at Neutral, so a first Buy would still fire and show up as one non-zero direction. We saw zero. It IS still a live hazard for a one-sided model - CONV currently calls Buy:17% Sell:0%, and after the first Buy every later Buy is suppressed until a Sell that never comes - but it cannot explain an all-zero run. - shallow buffers do not hard-fail the feature builder: the swing-context Donchian loop breaks gracefully when it runs off loaded history. It does mean converged-path inference computes Donchian/return/SMA features over a TRUNCATED window versus training, which is a real train/inference skew worth its own fix, but it degrades features rather than zeroing them. Both builds 0/0. Diagnostic only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

refactor(ai): nine class-imbalance inputs down to two
The imbalance section offered nine controls for one job. Audited against the
code, five of them did not do what their names said at the shipped defaults:
AILogitPriorStrength DEAD - Inference.mqh's post-hoc prior early-returns
whenever the adjusted loss is on, which is default.
OversampleParity DEAD in training - Training.mqh gated the replay loop
on !useLogitAdjustedLoss (correctly, citing Buda et
al. 2018). Live only in the online-learning path.
EnableMinorityReplay DEAD as replay. It survived ONLY as a focal-gamma
damper - "replay minority bars through pass-2
oversampling" was a focal-loss switch.
ConstrainReplay DEAD as a cap; it only chose damper 0.125 vs 0.25.
UseStaticPrior An exact duplicate of FreezePriorCalibration - the two
were OR'd together in the single place either is read.
So they were not five mechanisms fighting; they were one mechanism plus eight
knobs that mostly described machinery that no longer ran. That is worse than
a real conflict, because the log agreed with the names: the label-cache line
printed "reps up to 28x (90% parity) (seeding era 0's class-balance
oversampling)" on every run, describing an oversampling pass that had been
switched off. It is fixed here too - it cost this session a wrong diagnosis.
The one genuine redundancy was focal loss, running at gamma*0.125 alongside
the adjusted loss: two corrections on the same axis, the exact stacking
failure this file already cited Buda et al. for in two other places, damped
by a replay flag whose replay path was itself dead. Removed rather than
re-tuned. The plateau ladder is unaffected - its escape is the learning-rate
warm restart; the gamma anneal beside it only ever stepped toward zero.
WHAT REMAINS is logit-adjusted loss (Menon et al. 2021) plus a prior freeze:
LogitAdjustTau 0 = off; replaces the separate EnableLogitAdjusted-
Loss boolean, since a strength dial where 0 already
means off does not need an on/off switch beside it.
FreezePriorCalibration unchanged.
It is the only one of the six corrections with a consistency guarantee, and
it is consistent for exactly the balanced-error metric checkpoint selection
already ranks on - so the loss and the deploy decision optimize one thing.
The online continual-learning path keeps its own alpha-balanced focal weight,
now as constants pinned to the removed inputs' shipped defaults, so its
behaviour is unchanged. It legitimately needs its own correction:
ApplyLogitAdjustment() only runs inside a training run, so a deployed model
that was reloaded carries no logit offsets and would otherwise stream 31:1
data into itself uncorrected.
The weights-filename fingerprint is BYTE-IDENTICAL. The focal slot was a
double fed to a %d conversion and had always emitted a literal 0; the |MR:
segment is written as the constant its shipped defaults produced. Dropping
either would have re-keyed every model and forced a from-scratch retrain of
the one topology currently converged and trading.
Also removed as orphans: FOCAL_GAMMA_PRESET, MAX_OVERSAMPLE_REPLICAS,
OVERSAMPLE_PARITY_FRACTION, PLATEAU_GAMMA_STEP, and the now-unreachable
"neutralized by prior correction" diagnostic.
Both builds compile 0 errors, 0 warnings. No retrain forced.

feat(ai): real conv receptive field + the reference's channel pool
CONV's convolution used window = step = one bar, which is a per-bar projection - a 1x1 conv with a temporal receptive field of ONE BAR. It never mixed information across time, so "convolutional" described the layer type and nothing about what it computed. Same finding that sank HYBRID's LSTM. Pooling was removed on 2026-07-29 for being misconfigured against the conv output's memory layout. That removal was right; leaving the conv at a one-bar window was not. The two belong together: the NeuroNet_DNG reference (references\MQL5\Experts\EDL\Trajectory.mqh layers 2-5, kernels byte-identical to ours) pairs conv(window=2, step=1, window_out=4) with pool(window=4, step=4), and the pool only earns its place because a conv with a real receptive field sits above it. The input is bar-major (BufferTempData appends m_neuronsCount contiguous features per bar), so a flat window of k*m_neuronsCount spans exactly k bars - the receptive field needed NO kernel change. The conv output is position-major, so window == step == window_out is a clean max-over-channels, which is what the reference does and what the existing pool kernels already implement correctly. New chain at H1 defaults (420 = 20 bars x 21): conv1 w=42 s=21 out=8 -> 19 pos x 8 = 152 pool w=8 s=8 -> 19 conv2 w=2 s=1 out=8 -> 18 pos x 8 = 144 (effective field: 3 bars) We deliberately stop before the reference's SECOND pool: a channel pool emits one scalar per position, so a trailing pool would hand the dense stack 18 values and force it to fan out 18 -> 64. That is a bottleneck below every learnable layer - the same class of mistake the 2026-07-29 removal was about. Fixes a latent sizing bug this exposed: CNet's conv/pool position cursor tracked sliding POSITIONS, but a conv's real width is units_count * window_out. Any pool stacked on a conv would therefore have sized against a width window_out times too small and silently built the wrong shape. Both branches now read the built layer's actual Neurons(), which is what the batch-norm branch already did for the same reason. Also closes the architecture-pinning trap: a .nnw persists the window each conv was built with, so an existing CONV/HYBRID model would have loaded cleanly and gone on training under the OLD architecture. The conv weight tensor is (window+1)*window_out, so this cannot be repaired in place - EnforceTopologyContract now detects it, reports both shapes, and retrains. Conv chain shape is derived in one place (ConvReceptiveFieldBars / ConvFirstStagePositions / HasSecondConvStage / ConvOutputPositions / ConvOutputWidth) and consumed by AddConvStage, LstmFanIn and the startup config line, so what is built and what is logged cannot drift. Both builds compile 0 errors, 0 warnings. Forces a CONV and HYBRID retrain. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(ai): make LSTM/HYBRID actual sequence models over bars
CNeuronLSTMOCL consumed the whole flattened input in ONE gate computation and back-propagated a single timestep, which its own class comment stated. Combined with a conv stage whose window=step=neuronsCount gives it a receptive field of exactly one bar, no stage in HYBRID mixed information across time - the bars reached the dense stack as an unordered flat vector, the same thing the plain MLP sees. That predicted the measured ranking (MLP 31.5%, CONV 32.5%, LSTM 30.6%, HYBRID 14.4%): each extra bottleneck cost accuracy and bought nothing. The layer now unrolls m_historyBars timesteps, sharing one gate block across them and carrying h/c forward, with real BPTT carrying dh and dc backward. Per-step width comes from CLayerDescription::window, which CNet passes to the new SetStepWidth() - previously dead metadata. Consequences worth naming: - Weight count drops from 4H(H+420+1) to 4H(H+21+1). Weight sharing is the point of a recurrence, so ComputeLstmHiddenSize now budgets on the per-step width; H goes 16 -> 64 at H1 defaults, and the model is still smaller. - h/c start at zero per sample. The old buffers persisted across forward passes, so under shuffled training each sample inherited an unrelated sample's state. - .nnw LSTM records are versioned (LSTM_SEQ_SAVE_TAG). The old weight block is a different shape, so Load REFUSES pre-rewrite models rather than misreading one and throwing off every later layer's offset. LSTM and HYBRID must retrain. - Sequence mode has no Network.cl kernel, so it refuses the OpenCL tier loudly instead of quietly running a different architecture there than on the DLL tier - the two would train different models from one .cfg. Legacy single-timestep path kept intact for step width <= 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(ui): drop the config tag from the plain-language panels
"Hybrid 3L [HYB-9369] - learning (era 4, 12%)" leads with a fingerprint hash that means nothing to an owner. The tag earns its place in the journal and the State\ folders, where telling one chart's model files from another's is the whole point - but the default panel is the commercial surface and should not open with a debug token. New DisplayName() strips the bracketed suffix; the two plain-language panels (training and live/idle) use it. Logs, the VerboseMode panels and the auto-tune line keep the full ID, so nothing needed for diagnosis is lost. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(ai): stop the shutdown save from resurrecting reset weights; size HYBRID's LSTM to its real fan-in
ResetWeights already deletes the whole model set - .nnw, .cfg, _ckpt.tmp,
.stats, _shadow.nnw - and clears both the .arrows sidecar and the drawn
chart objects. What undid it was PersistWeightsOnShutdown: detaching the EA
after a reset but before an era completed re-created a .nnw from the
freshly-built, never-run net, so the next attach loaded an era-0 stub
instead of starting clean. For LSTM/HYBRID that stub is worse than nothing -

fix(ai): discount selection precision by coverage shortfall
The 2026-07-30 run caught a bug in the precision-led selection metric within 8 eras. HYBRID made exactly ONE directional call in era 7, got it right, scored 100% precision, and locked that in as best-ever. Nothing can beat 100%, so the checkpoint froze on a single sample and the run could only burn to the era cap deploying it. The coverage floor already existed and already blocked that era from being DEPLOYABLE - but the ranking ignored coverage entirely whenever no era had qualified yet, which is precisely the phase where the ranking is the only thing steering the run. Precision is now discounted by coverage/floor, capped at 1.0. Continuous rather than a threshold: an era at half the floor scores half its precision, so coverage and precision both improve rank and neither can be traded away. Above the floor the credit saturates, so ranking among genuinely deployable eras is unchanged pure precision. Also: the startup config line printed "tau 1.00" while every chart was actually running the capped 0.35 - the effective value depends on the measured class priors and is not knowable at init. Now reads "1.00 requested"; ApplyLogitAdjustment still logs the real figure. Both builds compile 0 errors, 0 warnings. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(nn): derive dense depth, train on all history, pin the shape in .cfg
Completes the derived-topology work. Three inputs removed. AIType loses its depth suffix - AI_MLP/AI_CONV/AI_LSTM/AI_HYBRID, five entries instead of eight. Depth is now derived from the two endpoints the taper already has to connect (derived first-layer width, output-tied final width) at a 2x per-layer compression target, clamped [2..5]. Asking a user to pick a layer count while the code derives the widths those layers taper between was asking for half a decision: at 64 units tapering to 12, four layers compress by 1.4x per step and five by 1.3x, so the extra depth bought no abstraction. On the shipping H1/10y default the derivation lands on 3 layers - the depth that actually won Run 2. StudyPeriods removed. There is no case for training on less data than the broker provides at a ~6% directional base rate; the honest generalization read comes from the OOS holdout, not from withholding history. Training now starts at the earliest available bar, floored by MinTrainYear, which answers a different question (excluding dubious pre-history) and stays. That required closing the hazard the old code documented: the capacity budget now MEASURES the symbol's real bar count, and a topology derived from a measurement would widen as history downloads. Both ends are now pinned. Every derived value left the weights-filename fingerprint - keying a filename on a measured quantity means the EA looks for a file that does not exist, starts from era 0 and orphans a trained model, silently, because a missing cache is the normal first-run state. The shape lives in the .cfg instead, where LoadAndCompare now ADOPTS the four derived fields rather than diffing them; a mismatch there would discard a fully-trained model over nothing the user did. Two fields appended to the .cfg for the conv/LSTM stages, length-guarded on read because FileReadInteger past EOF returns 0 with no error. ForceHiddenLayers, a compile-time constant like DebuggingMode, pins depth for diagnostic comparisons. It joins the fingerprint only when non-zero, so forced depths get their own files - sequential comparisons only, not simultaneous from one .ex5. Derived shape, H1/10y defaults (21 features x 20 bars): first layer 64, 3 dense, 8 conv filters, 16 LSTM units. The LSTM block halves from ~58k to ~28k weights.

feat(nn): derive conv filter count and LSTM hidden size from the data
Same defect the first-layer width had before 2026-07-29: both were inputs whose defaults were fixed constants picked with no reference to the input they sit on, which is the only thing that decides whether either number is sane. The conv layer is a per-bar projection - AddConvStage sets window = step = one bar's features - so its filter count should be read against the per-bar feature count. Sixteen filters COMPRESSED a 50-feature configuration 3x but EXPANDED a minimal 4-feature one 4x, and the expanding case adds parameters below every learnable layer without adding information. Now derived as half the per-bar feature count, snapped down a power-of-two ladder. The LSTM stage was the bigger miss. Its weight count is exactly 4*H*(H+inputs+1) (CNeuronLSTMOCL::SetInputs) and AddLstmStage feeds it the whole flattened vector, so the shipped 32 units against a 540-wide input is ~73k weights - more than DOUBLE the entire derived dense taper it feeds. It was the one stage the capacity budget never covered, which is why deriving the dense stack alone did not stop LSTM and HYBRID from being over-parameterized. Now solved from the same one-weight-per-in-sample-bar budget the first layer spends. Factored EstimatedInSampleBars() out of ComputeFirstLayerWidth so all three decisions spend one budget rather than each guessing at the training-set size separately. Both new values are assigned alongside the first-layer width, before the fingerprint that hashes them, and are functions of inputs already in that hash - so they need no entry of their own, and the same reasoning removes them from the DB config key. Both builds compile 0 errors, 0 warnings. Re-keys existing models. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(ui): unique chart tag, product-grade panel, responsive under load
Three separate reports from one deploy. 1. CONV, LSTM and HYBRID all came back tagged [4109]. The weights fingerprint omits the topology type on purpose - the file path already separates it (State\CONV\ vs State\LSTM\ vs State\HYB\) and hashing a value that is constant within a folder buys nothing while re-keying every trained model into a forced retrain. So the files were never at risk, but the tag could not do its one job. Prefixing the short id makes it unique on the display side only; the hex half still greps straight to the .nnw inside the folder the prefix names. 2. The default panel read like a training console. Six lines down to three, each answering a question an owner actually has. The deploy internals (best score, eras-since-best, ladder stage) were developer diagnostics describing a recall floor that no longer decides anything, and were already in the era-end journal line. In-sample accuracy left the panel too: it grades the model on bars it trained on, so it always flatters, and showing it beside the honest number invites reading the wrong one. New compile-time DebuggingMode constant - deliberately not an input - carries the IS/OOS pair and the resolved model path into the journal instead. No extra Inputs row, no extra Market description line, no user-reachable firehose. 3. Panel drag and buttons stuttered under training load, exactly as the 2026-07-26 note raising the chunk budget to 200ms warned they might. Backed off to the documented 120ms - worst-case click latency is that budget - and the derived topology (~292k weights to ~29k) makes the throughput this costs far cheaper than when that note was written. Also halved the panel redraw rate to 2.5 Hz: ChartRedraw repaints the whole chart, so its cost scales with accumulated arrows, and 5 Hz was the larger half of the stutter. Era-end still force-refreshes. Both builds compile 0 errors, 0 warnings. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(ai): rank checkpoints on directional precision, not balanced accuracy
Balanced accuracy is maximized by exactly the model this system must never
deploy. Measured frontier at fixed signal strength, base rate 6.1%:
tau 0.00 -> calls 0.2% of bars at 27.3% precision, balanced 34.0%
tau 0.35 -> calls 2.0% of bars at 15.5% precision, balanced 36.3%
tau 1.00 -> calls 49.6% of bars at 6.4% precision, balanced 53.5%
It rises monotonically as the model calls MORE and is right LESS, because
two of its three terms are directional recalls that a call-everything model
drives to ~95%, while the Neutral term it sacrifices counts for only a
third. The 2026-07-29 run landed exactly there: balanced 58-64% while
calling a direction on ~100% of bars at a 5-7% win rate against a ~6% base
rate. Only the per-class recall floor stopped those deploying - a guard
doing the job the objective should have been doing - and that same guard
also rejected the genuinely useful sparse-but-precise checkpoints.
Ranking is now DIRECTIONAL PRECISION: of the bars called Buy or Sell, how
many were right. That is what a trading edge is. Two anti-degenerate floors
bracket it, since precision alone is trivially maximized by calling almost
nothing: coverage must reach a fraction of the true directional base rate
(derived, not configured - it adapts to any symbol/timeframe/label rule),
and precision must at least beat that base rate.
Against the same frontier the deploy order inverts from
tau 1.00 > 0.50 > 0.35 > 0.15 (old, worst model first)
to
tau 0.35 > 0.50 > 1.00 (new; 0.00/0.15 rejected on coverage)
Balanced accuracy is kept in the log as a diagnostic and marked as such, so
a run where the two disagree - the signature of an over-caller - is visible
at a glance. MinRecall no longer decides what ships; it now only drives the
diagnostic recall line and is a candidate for removal.

fix(ai): cap logit-adjustment strength to the head's usable logit range
tau=1.0 inverted the collapse instead of curing it. The head is SIGMOID, so each output is bounded to [0,1] and the widest logit gap the net can express between two classes is CLASS_LOGIT_SCALE * (1-0) = 6. The offsets are tau*log(prior_c), whose spread on this 30:1 imbalance is 3.42 - so tau=1.0 spent 57% of the ENTIRE expressible range on the prior correction. The network did the only thing available to it: saturate Buy/Sell outputs to 1.0 to overcome a -3.42 training handicap. The offsets are absent at inference, so that surplus made every bar directional. Measured across all five still-training charts: Neutral recall 0%, directional calls on ~100% of bars, win rate 5-7% against a ~6% base rate - no information whatsoever - while balanced accuracy read a flattering 58-64% because two of its three terms sat near 95%. OOS accuracy 6%. Menon et al. assume an unbounded logit head where a 3.42 shift is negligible against the reachable range. It is not negligible here, so the strength is now expressed RELATIVE to the range actually available: tau_eff = min(tau_cfg, LOGIT_ADJUST_MAX_RANGE_FRACTION * SCALE / spread) At 20% that gives tau 0.35 on this data. Deliberately a fraction rather than a tau ceiling: it stays correct if CLASS_LOGIT_SCALE changes, if the head becomes unbounded, or on any symbol whose imbalance differs. The input remains effective below the cap, so dialling it down needs no rebuild. Simulated at a signal strength where the task is genuinely learnable, the precision/recall frontier is monotone: tau 1.0 -> 49.6% call rate at 6.4% precision (base rate 6.1%, i.e. worthless); tau 0.35 -> 2.0% at 15.5%; tau 0.15 -> 0.2% at 33.3%. The capped value lands in the same regime the pre-logit-adjustment run occupied (1-6% of bars at 20-35% win rate). Also logs the measured priors, the spread, and whether the cap bound.

feat: print a self-verifying config line per chart at startup
A multi-chart comparison is only valid if every chart is identical except the axis under test, and a drifted setting was previously invisible: the model filename carries a HASH, so two charts that should match and do not look merely "different" with no indication of which field moved. Each signal now logs its effective config plus the raw fingerprint string, unconditionally (not gated on VerboseMode). The six lines diff directly, so an accidental divergence in study period, feature set, focal gamma or anything else feeding training shows up at startup rather than as an unexplained result hours later.

docs: correct the conv-pool rationale against the reference contract
The previous note claimed the pooling stage was unfixable in the topology. That is only true of TIME-axis pooling. The NeuroNet_DNG reference - whose conv and pool kernels are byte-identical to ours - ties the pool to the filter count (window = step = window_out), producing a clean non-overlapping max-over-channels emitting one value per bar. So a correct channel-pooling configuration does exist and needs no kernel change. The real defect was that our window/step were never tied to window_out: 3/2 against 16 filters overlapped across the filter axis and straddled bar boundaries. Removal still stands, for a different and narrower reason: max-over-channels at 16 filters reduces 320 conv outputs to 20 - one scalar per bar for a 420-wide input - and the first dense layer would fan OUT 20 -> 64 instead of funnelling. The reference could afford that at window_out=4. Comment-only. Compiles 0 errors, 0 warnings. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(ai): drop the conv pooling stage - it reduced across filters, not time
FeedForwardConv emits POSITION-MAJOR output, matrix_o[out + window_out * i],
so one bar's window_out filter responses are contiguous and consecutive bars
sit window_out apart. Both pooling implementations (FeedForwardProof and
CPU_FeedForwardProof) slide FLAT over that buffer - pos = i * step, reducing
`window` CONSECUTIVE elements. On a position-major layout those neighbours
are different FILTERS of the same bar, never one filter across time.
At the shipped 3/2 the pool computed max(bar0_f0, bar0_f1, bar0_f2), then
max(bar0_f2, bar0_f3, bar0_f4), with every 8th window straddling a bar
boundary. So it collapsed unrelated feature detectors into whichever fired
hardest, passed gradient to that winner only, and halved the feature map
while doing it - all below every learnable layer, where nothing above can
recover it. The removed inputs' own labels ("3 Bars") show time-axis pooling
was the intent throughout.
Measured cost: CONV sat pinned at ~40% balanced accuracy for 510 eras with
Sell recall 0%, while plain MLPs on the same data reached 57-61%. HYBRID,
which also carried this stage, came second-worst of the batch-norm group.
Not fixable in the topology: pooling one filter across time needs a stride
of window_out BETWEEN samples within a window, which a consecutive-window
kernel cannot express at any window/step. That needs a stride-aware kernel
in Network.cl + WarriorCPU.cpp + WarriorDML.cpp and a DLL rebuild, and is
only worth doing if a conv front-end earns its place without downsampling
first - with 20 sliding positions there is little to gain by halving them.
ConvPoolWindow/ConvPoolStep and their enums are removed with it, along with
the |CP: fingerprint term added earlier today.

feat(ai): logit-adjusted loss, replacing oversampling and the post-hoc prior
Menon et al. 2021 (ICLR), "Long-tail learning via logit adjustment": add tau*log(prior_c) to each class logit inside the training gradient. Softmax CE on adjusted logits is consistent for BALANCED error - the metric checkpoint selection already ranks on - so the loss and the deploy decision finally optimize the same thing. The engine already computed a true softmax + categorical-CE gradient and wrote it over the per-neuron sigmoid delta, so this is an offset added to three logits in the two places that gradient is built (backProp scalar path and backPropOCL). No backend, kernel or DLL change; the forward pass and every inference path are untouched, which is the point - the network learns to absorb the offset, so its raw argmax becomes the balanced-optimal decision with nothing applied at inference. Replaces rather than stacks. Minority replay is disabled while this is on, and the post-hoc inference prior is forced off. Stacking is not a theoretical worry: simulated on the measured 1118/1119/34298 distribution in the weak-signal regime, plain CE collapses to Neutral (33.4% balanced, Buy 0%), replay reaches 48.1%, logit adjustment 50.9% with better balance - and BOTH together score 45.4% with Neutral recall at 0%, worse than either alone. Buda et al. 2018 predicts exactly that. Motivation from the six-chart run: every topology took one direction to ~50% recall and abandoned the other, the direction chosen arbitrarily (the batch-norm control went Buy 1% / Sell 42%, the inverse of the other five). One era in 1,301 cleared the per-class recall floor. Fingerprinted conditionally, so the converged 60.7% models on disk keep their filenames and stay loadable as the fallback.

VolumeData tick vs real feeds different numbers into
the same input slot
PeriodMA / PeriodRSI seed the indicator tuner exactly as
MA_Type does - MA_Type was already hashed,
these two were not
Pool geometry is unconditional, matching how m_convFilterCount and
m_lstmHiddenSize are already treated. The replay knobs nest under
EnableMinorityReplay so turning replay off cannot re-key a model over a
parity value nothing reads. The three feature-value inputs are conditional
on the AI feature that consumes them, following the MACD/Ichimoku rule -
they also drive the classic MA/RSI votes, which are inference-only.
Re-keys existing models. Deliberate and free this cycle: the derived
