fix(db): a completed DML step is not a failure
Every INSERT/UPDATE a backtest journaled printed a phantom "Failed to execute bound query (error 5126)" + "Failed to insert/update" pair - 11.7k error lines in one tester run - while every row landed correctly (verified: v5 DB complete and identical in totals to v4, results populated, zero non-5126 database errors in the whole log). 5126 is ERR_DATABASE_NO_MORE_DATA, SQLite''s DONE: DatabaseRead() stepped the statement to completion and there is nothing to read back, which for DML IS the success outcome. The tester agent reports 5126 where the live terminal reports 0 for the same completed step, and PrepareAndExecuteBound() treated any nonzero code as failure. Success is now 0 or 5126; genuine failures (busy, locked, constraint, misuse) surface as other codes and still fail. No schema or semantics change - the v5 database and its data are valid as-is; this only stops the misreporting that would bury a real error. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(db): the log no longer asks the decision layer for permission
The DB system logs objectively; the decision layer reads it to compute win rates and adjust weights. The journaling path still had one decision-layer tendril: rows were only written when the root''s OpenLongParams()/OpenShortParams() succeeded. Those calls validate ORDER PLACEMENT (broker stops-level, ATR warm-up, entry-mode rejection) and their failures cluster in volatility/spread conditions, so the gate non-randomly censored exactly those bars out of every pattern''s win-rate sample - the same censoring class 652bf81/c8ef478 removed, one layer down. The ledger never needed placement to be possible: entries are marked at the touchable side of the spread and exits are same-pattern reversals, not broker fills. Also documents netVote for what it is: a record of the decision layer''s state at log time (per-pattern weights inside it drift as ranking updates land), not an objective measure - the objective part of a row is pattern/direction/price/result. SIGNAL_DB_SEMANTICS_VERSION 4 -> 5: row populations gain the previously censored bars, so the database re-keys. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(db): per-side pattern journaling + versioned journaling semantics
The labelMatchesVote gate compared a single last-writer-wins label (LongCondition then ShortCondition) against the net vote sign, which structurally censored the pattern tables: a long event co-occurring with any short-side state model lost its label to the later writer and was dropped, while the mirrored short event journaled fine. Ichimoku models 0/3 and MA model 1 could not produce a row at all by construction (MA model 1 was "revived" in |

feat: pin the cross-asset pair set train->serve + warm the sync at init
The reference-pair set was re-discovered from Market Watch on every build, so adding or removing a terminal symbol silently changed what a trained model's six cross-asset features meant - the last open train/serve parity gap from the 2026-08-11 audit. The set a model's FIRST successful build actually used is now stamped into its .cfg (append-and-length-guard, adopt-don't-compare - the derived-barrier pattern) and every later build constructs the panel from exactly that list; a pinned pair that is temporarily unavailable is skipped, never substituted. Also warms SymbolSelect/SeriesInfo for every reference symbol at InitNeuralNetwork, so the terminal's ~minute of async cross-symbol download starts at init instead of when the first Build() trips over an unselected symbol - the source of the startup 'only 0 usable reference pairs' console failures.

feat: index-mode cross-asset encoding - base==quote wasted 3 of 6 slots
On a CFD whose base and quote currency match (SP500 -> USD/USD) the FX encoding degenerated: base and quote strength were the SAME series twice and the divergence feature collapsed to the symbol's own 20-bar return. Index mode re-encodes the six slots: denomination-currency strength (fast/slow), a risk-proxy currency's strength (JPY by fixed preference order - deterministic across rebuilds), and divergence as own move minus what the denomination alone implies. FX-pair symbols are untouched. Fingerprint gains :IDX2 for base==quote symbols only, so index models trained under the degenerate encoding re-key while FX models keep their filenames.

fix: the trailing incumbent read the future across eras; cold AD blocks cached zeros as truth
Three findings from the 2026-08-11 audit:
1. The excursion head's trailing-quantile ring was deliberately never cleared
between eras ("a rolling estimate of the market, not of the era") - but
pass 3 re-walks the SAME OOS window every era, so at each walk's restart
the ring still held the outcome masks of the newest OOS bars from the
previous walk: the chronological FUTURE of the bars about to be scored.
For the first ~window+horizon pushes of every era the "trailing" incumbent
was partly a leading one - conservative for the gate (an informed incumbent
is a harder hurdle) but exactly the self-made-artifact class

fix: live inference queried the 1-tick forming bar - a window training never built
RefreshLatestSignal ran at the first tick after a bar opens and built its window at r=0: series index 0 at that instant is a candle with one tick of data - (close-open)/atr ~ 0, high ~ low, degenerate volume, indicators on a 1-tick bar. Training never produces such a window (every labeled bar is fully closed, entry at that bar's CLOSE), so the deployed model's final timestep - the one the LSTM/HYBRID output is keyed to - was out-of-distribution on every live decision, and pass 3's deploy-gate OOS scores measured a different query than live executed. The parity index is r=1: the newest CLOSED bar, whose close IS the current price - the exact instant the label's hypothetical entry happens. Single backtests shared the old skew (same r=0), which is why the tester agreed with live while both disagreed with training. Bookkeeping split that the index change forces: m_lastBarTime/dtStudied stay anchored to the FORMING bar's open (they gate against SERIES_LASTBAR_DATE; anchoring at bar 1 would re-fire the refresh every tick), while bt - the arrow, its High/Low placement, and NMS declustering - anchors to the decision bar, now matching the rescan path's convention. Also: a failed refresh no longer trades the previous bar's signal for the whole bar. RefreshLatestSignal returns success, zeroes dPrevSignal on failure (no opinion beats a stale one), and RefreshConvergedSignal advances dtStudied only on success so the next tick retries - the tester path (m_lastBarTime) already worked this way; this is the live path catching up. FORCES RE-VALIDATION of deployed models: the effective live query distribution changes. Bundled with the backprop transpose fix's retrain. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix: dense backprop read the weight matrix transposed - on every backend
CaclHiddenGradient computed this layer's gradient as matrix_w[(outputs+1)*i + k] against a buffer whose actual layout (one row per NEXT-layer neuron, stride inputs+1) makes the correct read matrix_w[k*(inputs+1) + i]: the transpose for square layers, and for the non-square boundaries this EA actually builds (tapered stacks, the 3-neuron head) a mis-strided walk that ran past the buffer end - garbage on OpenCL, zeroed reads on the CPU DLL, so the tiers did not even agree with each other. Every gradient crossing a dense boundary on its way down - the entire learning signal reaching the BN/conv/LSTM front ends - passed through a fixed wrong matrix: feedback-alignment dynamics, not backprop, which is why nets still "learned something" and this survived. The book reference (NeuroNet_DNG) fixed this in a later article version; our kernel descended from the earlier one. Confounds every model-based negative verdict to date. Also in this commit, same root cause family: - per-sample UpdateWeightsAdam (OpenCL): input for slot group j was read at matrix_i[j] instead of matrix_i[j*4] (corrupted outer product past group 0), and dispatch dim 1 sized on ceil(inputs/4) left the bias column unreachable whenever inputs%4==0 - dense biases never trained on OpenCL. Rewritten as a lane-guarded scalar loop keeping our Adam conventions (sqrt-stored v, decoupled decay, both clamps, no sign gate). The batched accum path never had either bug; this kernel is what SetBatchSize(1) runs - including online continual learning on client machines, where OpenCL is the only tier. - conv backward passed raw (int)Activation() where the kernels expect NativeActivationCode(): NONE took the tanh branch (clamping a BN layer's unbounded z-scores), TANH took sigmoid, PRELU took none. Dormant only because the conv sits at layer 1 today. - hidden-gradient dispatch over Neurons()+1 dropped to Neurons(): biases get no backprop gradient and the extra work-item only ever read past matrix_o. All three backends (Network.cl, WarriorCPU.cpp, WarriorDML.cpp HLSL) changed in lockstep; DML gained an `inputs` constant to derive the row stride. New dense_backprop_check.cpp proves the CPU kernel is central-finite-difference consistent with the real forward kernel on 8x8, 64x3, 33x64, 5x3 (max diff 3e-9) and that all three activation branches match transcription. All 16 checks pass. Offline math check only - the in-situ proof remains the per-layer dW/W report on a real era. FORCES FULL RETRAIN. Both DLLs rebuilt and redeployed to MQL5\Libraries.

perf: the CPU DLL's dot products were never vectorized - /fp:fast
Measured on this machine's actual CPU at the real 760-wide geometry, through a real DLL boundary (an earlier harness #included the .cpp and the fast-math build hoisted the timing loop, reporting a flat ~4us for shapes 8x apart). Every hot kernel is a floating-point reduction. Under the default /fp:precise MSVC may not reassociate one, so it cannot vectorize one - the dot product was scalar mulsd/addsd through a single accumulator. Forward pass measured 1.1-1.9 GFLOP/s precise vs 1.7-2.8 GFLOP/s fast, and the same three neurons*inputs loops (forward, hidden gradient, weight-gradient accumulate) dominate an era. batch_accum_check passes on both builds with identical output to every digit it prints, including the 5-decade optimizer scale-invariance sweep. The deploy-time CPU-vs-MQL5 self-check tolerance is 1.0e-3, ~11 orders looser than fast-math drift. /arch:AVX2 is now explicitly forbidden in the script with the reason. This CPU is an Ivy Bridge-EP Xeon: AVX yes, AVX2/FMA no. An AVX2 build faults on every kernel, SehCallFn swallows it per dispatch, buffers are never written, and every shape takes a flat ~5us - which benchmarks as a 250x speedup until you check that the outputs are all zero. /arch:AVX alone was measured and bought nothing; these loops are memory-bound and Ivy Bridge splits 256-bit loads into 2x128 anyway. Requires rebuilding WarriorCPU.dll (build_cpu.bat) - the .ex5 is unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

perf: pass 1 forward-passed ~40% of bars that a later pass redid anyway
Pass 1 already skipped its feedForward on QUEUED bars, because pass 2 redoes them. The same argument covers two more bands it was still forwarding: OOS window (30% of bars) - pass 3 re-forwards every one of them calibration band (~10% of bars) - pass 2.5 re-forwards every one of them All three passes derive their bounds from the same helpers and apply the identical eligibility test, so the bar sets are equal by construction, not by coincidence. Only the two purge bands and the ineligible edge bars are visited in pass 1 and nowhere else - those keep their forward pass. The scan's copy was never the one that survived. Its arrow-cache write was overwritten by pass 3's (with the thresholded, post-training decision), its status-label paint was transient, and its predicted-class tally measured last era's weights. Those tallies move to pass 2.5 and pass 3, on the raw argmax exactly as pass 1 and pass 2 count it, so the population behind the panel's "Predicted -> Buy/Sell/Neutral" line is unchanged and stays comparable with the "Actual" line beside it, which pass 1 still accumulates over every labelled bar. Verified unaffected by the cut: dPrevSignal and m_lastBarTime are both written last by bars 0/1, which are label-ineligible and therefore still forwarded, so FinalizeTrainRun's `dtStudied = m_lastBarTime` and Lifecycle's newBarPending sentinel read the same values as before. Correctness, not just speed: batch norm is UNFROZEN during pass 1 (passes 2.5 and 3 freeze it deliberately), so every scan-time forward on a held-out bar was advancing the BN running mean/variance from data the model is graded on. Those running statistics are inference-time model state. It is the mild, unsupervised kind of leakage - feature statistics, not labels - but it fed the weights pass 3 then scored, and it is now gone. Cost: ~40% of all bars lose one forward pass per era, ~16% of net time once pass 2's backward pass is weighted in. Per-dispatch, so it lands on every backend. Both variants compile 0 errors / 0 warnings. Build tag scan-nofwd-v5. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

perf: the excursion head cost 3.6x era time - cut its dispatches ~250x
Measured on exc-race-v3: LSTM era 300s -> 1087s (net 272->748s, "other" 30->337s). My estimate had been "single-digit percent". The cost is per-DISPATCH, not per-FLOP, and therefore hits EVERY backend: the head is 19k weights and ~2.4 GFLOP an era - seconds of arithmetic - but ~48k forward/backward calls x several layer submits each, and its 760-wide layer exceeds the CPU DLL's inline threshold so each one pays a real handoff. The classifier's own net time tripled too, from contention with a second pool on an already-full box. Three changes, all backend-neutral because they remove submits rather than tune threads: SCORE ONLY DISJOINT WINDOWS (~64x). Adjacent bars share all but one bar of their horizon, so 16k consecutive bars were always ~250 independent observations - the full-sample tally was never worth more than the disjoint one, it just quoted an n that was ~64x too large. Dropping it costs nothing statistically and removes 63 of every 64 forward passes. The two parallel tallies collapse into one, which is also less code. The trailing ring still advances on every bar: it needs the outcome SEQUENCE, and that is array lookups, not a forward pass. TRAIN ON EVERY 4th PRIMARY BAR (4x). The target is low-dimensional and strongly autocorrelated - neighbouring bars carry near-identical excursion information - so per-bar training buys resolution the target does not have. Strided on ATTEMPTS, not acceptances, so a stretch of unlabelled bars cannot silently change the spacing. OWN TIMING COLUMN. The head's passes were landing in the era line's "other" bucket, which is how a 3.6x regression read as an unexplained jump in the one column nobody attributes. A cost that cannot be seen in the timing line cannot be traded off against anything. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix: purge every EA object namespace on init and after deinit teardown
Leftover objects survived deinit because the cleanup list had drifted. PurgeChart()'s own comment said it removed "our namespaced signal arrows plus the status-label objects" while the code removed arrows ONLY, and the panel prefix was swept at OnInit and nowhere else - so an ordinary deinit left the status line, and any panel straggler, on the chart. Three scattered call sites and a comment cannot be kept in step. There is now ONE list - WarriorChartPrefixes() - covering arrows, status label and panel, and one sweep, WarriorPurgeChartObjects(), used by every path. Add a prefix there when a new object family appears and every cleanup picks it up. Two call sites added: OnInit, before ANYTHING is drawn (including the status label it would otherwise delete). Chart objects live in the chart PROFILE, not in the EA, so they outlive the process: a deinit force-terminated at MetaTrader's ~4,500 ms budget, a crash, a terminal kill, or an .ex5 replaced while attached all strand objects no later deinit will ever own - and deleting the EA's files does not remove them, which is why they read as corruption. Arrows are included: LoadChartSignals restores them from their sidecar moments later and already opens with its own arrow sweep, so this only removes orphans the sidecar does not account for - the ones SaveChartSignals would otherwise ADOPT, since it rebuilds that sidecar by scanning the chart. OnDeinit, after ExtPanel.Destroy. Destroy walks an unbounded control tree and ClearStatusLabel clears text rather than guaranteeing object removal; either can leave a straggler and nothing looked afterwards. Bounded work - three prefix deletes and one object-list scan - so it respects the ordering rule that keeps the cheap visible cleanup ahead of the heavy save. Arrows excluded: ShutdownChartCleanup already persisted and removed them and re-deleting would race that write. The two are complementary: the deinit sweep closes the ordinary case, the OnInit purge closes the case where MetaTrader never let us finish. Only the second can help after a starved shutdown. Both sweeps rescan by name across EVERY object type and delete what the bulk call missed. ObjectsDeleteAll's return has already been observed disagreeing with a by-name scan of the same chart microseconds apart, and object commands are queued on the chart rather than applied inline, so a returned count is not evidence the objects are gone. Panel create site now uses WARRIOR_PANEL_PREFIX instead of a literal, so the name cannot drift away from the list that cleans it up.

feat: race the excursion head against a trailing-quantile incumbent
Beating a frozen global constant is the weakest admissible bar for replacing a global constant. The honest incumbent is a rolling rung frequency: it adapts to the volatility regime - exactly what the head claims to predict - and needs no model, no 760 inputs and no training. Implemented as a ring of per-bar outcome bitmasks (32 rungs fit one ulong), sized horizon + EXCURSION_TRAIL_WINDOW. The newest `horizon` entries are held back UNRESOLVED: a bar's rung outcomes are only known one horizon later, so using them would be lookahead and would flatter the incumbent into an opponent the head could never fairly beat. Pass 3 walks oldest-to-newest, so "pushed more than horizon bars ago" is exactly "resolved by now". Each push is O(rungs), not O(window). The head's decision-rung Brier is pro-rated to the trailing estimate's coverage before the ratio, since the incumbent only scores bars where its window is warm. This line is worth reading on its own, independently of the head: if the trailing quantile beats the global constant, that is a cheap risk-control win available with no machine learning at all - and it is the same number either way, so the run answers both questions in one pass. The ring is deliberately NOT reset per era - it estimates the market, not the era, and re-warming 500 bars every era would leave the incumbent unusable over the first chunk of every scoring pass, handing the head a free win on exactly those bars.

fix: the excursion gate would have passed Stage 2 on an artifact I made
Second-opinion review killed the +4.2% far-rung result, correctly, and
the mechanism is my own bug. A head trained toward {0.05,0.9} converges
to 0.05+0.85p, so its bias is 0.05-0.15p: negative where p is near 1,
POSITIVE where p < 1/3, growing monotonically as the rung gets farther.
Against a baseline frozen at the IS rate, an upward-biased head scores
positive Brier skill whenever the OOS rate merely sits above the IS rate.
Predicted signature: huge negatives near, ~zero at p=1/3, growing
positives far. Observed: -82% ... -0.6% ... +1.2/+2.7/+4.2. The far rungs
were not the clean end of a distorted measurement, they were the other
face of the same artifact. Everything before

fix: the excursion head was scored against a cap I gave it
ExcursionTargets built its 32 binary targets from the classifier's LABEL_SMOOTH_HIGH/LOW (0.9/0.05). That caps what the head can ever output at 0.9, and the near ladder rungs have base rates close to 1.0 - almost every bar travels 0.5 ATR inside a 64-bar horizon. The Brier comparison is then decided before the net learns anything: constant at 0.99 -> 0.99*(0.01)^2 + 0.01*(0.99)^2 = 0.0099 head at 0.90 -> 0.99*(0.10)^2 + 0.01*(0.90)^2 = 0.0180 skill -82% Which is what the first run reported at rung 0.50: PAI -61.8%, CONV -146%. A property of the target encoding, not of predictability. Smoothing earns its place on the 3-class head, where it stops one logit running away inside a softmax competition. There is no competition here and this head is scored on calibration, so it has to be free to say 0.99 when the answer is 0.99. Hard 1/0 is safe against the runaway smoothing guards: this is an MSE-on-sigmoid gradient (calcOutputGradients) whose (target - output) term vanishes as the output approaches the target, not the unbounded-logit cross-entropy the classifier uses. The far rungs, where the artifact is smallest, already showed positive skill on the two topologies with a sequence stage (LSTM 3.00:+1.2% 4.00:+2.7% 5.00:+4.2%, HYBRID similar), so the verdict was being decided by the most distorted end of the ladder.

diag: name the cause when every feature window fails, and enforce the width contract
Era 0 stalls with "NOT ONE of 54681 scanned bars produced a usable feature window, windows ok=0 failed=54681" and nothing else. That line reads identically for a cold ATR, a conditionally-missing optional feature block and an out-of-range index, so it cannot be diagnosed without one restart per hypothesis. Two changes: 1. WIDTH CONTRACT in BufferTempData. Every enabled block must emit exactly m_neuronsCount values on EVERY bar. A block that emits its values on some bars and skips them on others (indicator, panel or series unavailable for that bar) does not merely shorten the window - it SHIFTS every feature after it into the wrong slot, and the net then trains on silently misaligned inputs that still look like a valid window to everything downstream. Now rejected, rolled back and reported once, naming the optional blocks (XA / SPR / swing context) as the ones carrying an availability test. Worth having independently of the current stall. 2. BuildFeatureWindow records WHICH lookback slot rejected and how much of the window was assembled, and the pass-1 stall report renders it: "slot 0 of 20 REJECTED (window had 0 of 760)" is an indicator warm-up or history-edge read; "every lookback bar ACCEPTED and the window was still short: 640 of 760" is a missing 6-value block. No behaviour change on a healthy run: the width check is an equality that already holds, and the diagnostics render only inside the total-failure branch.

feat: excursion-size head (Stage 1, measurement only)
Direction is closed - normalised asymmetry fails on three instruments with a working positive control, and the classifier's own best-of-999 era-cap test agrees (+0.9pp = 1.48 sigma, family-wise p=1.0000). SIZE is a different question and RANGE clears at ~4x its null. Checked the denomination before building on that, since the source memo warns to: m_excUpCache holds (maxHigh - fill)/ATR, so "RANGE is predictable" is a claim about travel RELATIVE to current ATR, not a restatement of "ATR is autocorrelated". It is exactly the part a fixed multiple (stop 3.31*ATR, target 1.64*ATR) discards. A second small CNet, 760 -> 24 -> 32 sigmoid outputs = P(price reaches ladder rung k) upward and downward. Survival parameterisation rather than regressing the multiple, because it needs nothing new from CNet: sigmoid outputs and the per-neuron delta the `total != 3` branch already applies (a quantile head would need a linear activation and a pinball gradient in Network.mqh, Network.cl and the DirectML path, on a class four topologies share). Targets are free - m_ladderUpAt already records first-touch age per rung with 0 meaning never reached. Separate net, not extra outputs on the classifier: more outputs would change m_outputNeuronsCount, the .nnw shape and the fingerprint, and push the count off 3 - the exact condition backProp uses to select the joint softmax gradient the 3-class head depends on. The classifier is bit-for-bit unaffected and this is removable without trace. STAGE 1 PLACES NO ORDERS. It reports a Brier skill score against the constant per-rung base rate - the baseline a fixed ATR multiple already assumes - with both predictors fitted IS and evaluated OOS, so neither gets a look at the test set. Positive skill justifies Stage 2 (drive SL/TP and sizing off ExcursionQuantile, which is defined and deliberately uncalled). Zero or negative means ATR already carries everything and Stage 2 must not be built. Trains only on primary occurrences: the replay queue oversamples for CLASS balance, and a direction-balanced sample is a biased SIZE sample.

fix: the operating point was fitted on bars the net had memorized
FitDirConfThreshold harvested its margin histogram from pass 2's own
backprop samples. Pairing every fit against the same era's OOS result
shows what that measured:
PAI era 1 IS 25% cov @ 66.1% (-0.8pp) -> OOS 64% (-3pp) gap +2.1pp
PAI era 76 IS 90% cov @ 79.6% (+12.7pp) -> OOS 65% (-2pp) gap +14.6pp
LSTM era 9 IS 77% cov @ 81.6% (+14.6pp) -> OOS 63% (-4pp) gap +18.6pp
The gap grows monotonically while OOS stays flat, so within a handful of
eras the curve stops describing behaviour on unseen bars. That is fatal
here specifically, because the objective branches on the SIGN of
(p - break-even): the memorized curve reads +12pp at 95% coverage, so
coverage x (p - p0) correctly maximises coverage and returns ~0.02 - fire

feat: 10-bar decluster window + alternation on every signal consumer
SignalClusterWindow 3 -> 10 for all topologies. On H1 a 3-bar window
collapsed only the tightest runs and left visible clusters at every
turn; 10 bars is closer to the spacing of genuinely distinct setups.
ALTERNATION. Rule 1 only collapses a same-direction run INSIDE the
window; past it a second Buy is emitted with no Sell between, giving
Buy/Buy/Buy/Sell. With both directions tradeable that sequence is the
model re-entering a move it is already in rather than finding a new
one. The kept sequence must now alternate: the first signal passes,
and after that a direction passes only if the last KEPT signal was the
opposite one.
Added to ALL THREE consumers, with identical logic, because they must
agree:
- NmsLiveAccept -> the live trade
- pass 3's OOS replay -> the tally the deploy gate grades
- PruneDirectionalClusters -> the drawn history
A rule applied to only some of these certifies one strategy and trades
another - the same defect class as the geometry the gate certified

fix: the operating-point fit maximised precision, so a no-skill model traded everything
FitDirConfThreshold walked from the most selective bin down to bin 0
keeping `precPct >= bestPrec`, with the stated intent that a plateau
should walk toward more coverage. The failure mode is the models that
need a threshold most: a net with no edge scores its base rate at
EVERY threshold - a perfect plateau - so the walk ran all the way to
bin 0 and returned 0.0, i.e. fire on every bar.
Reported as PAI "overshooting signals" while the other three stayed
selective. PAI has the flattest plateau because its margin
distribution is the most degenerate: its OOS outputs span the full
0.000..1.000 where CONV sits at 0.214..0.814, so nearly every call
lands in the top bins and precision barely moves as the walk descends.
The deeper problem is that precision is not the money quantity. For a
k:m barrier with p0 = m/(m+k),
EV = (p - p0) * (k + m) => EV per bar = coverage * (p - p0) * (k+m)
and (k+m) is constant across thresholds, leaving coverage * (p - p0).
That objective needs no tie-break and behaves correctly everywhere:
p > p0 everywhere -> takes the coverage (the old outcome, now for a
reason rather than as a plateau artifact)
p flat at p0 -> every point scores 0, the coverage floor decides
p < p0 everywhere -> the LEAST coverage loses the least, so it gets
MORE selective instead of trading everything
The last case is the current reality for all four models (-1 to -4pp
against break-even) and is the exact opposite of what the old rule
did. The comparison is sound: the histogram is already fitted on wins
(qTradeWon), not label agreement, so precision and break-even measure
the same quantity.
Ties now keep the more selective point - the loop reaches it first and
the test is strict >.

ui: fold the break-even back onto one panel line
The risk/reward explanation was a second, wrapped line and cost more vertical space than it earned - that detail belongs in the journal, where the geometry is already logged in full. The comparison itself stays, in two words: "64% (unseen data, need 67%)". Without it the win rate reads as skill when it is the barrier geometry's own base rate, which is exactly how four models sitting at chance came to look like four models at 65%.

fix: flush the in-flight era on shutdown; sweep orphaned chart objects on attach
Chart objects live in the MT5 chart PROFILE, not in this EA's files. They survive a terminal restart, a recompile, and deleting every .nnw/.cfg/.stats/.arrows on disk. Only a deinit that RUNS TO COMPLETION removes them - and MetaTrader force-terminates OnDeinit at roughly 4,500 ms, so a run killed mid-cleanup orphans them permanently with no owner left to clean up after. That is the "deleted every file, recompiled, restarted, old arrows and a stale panel still there" report: nothing was wrong with the files and deleting them could not have helped. Both halves are fixed. STOP OVERRUNNING THE BUDGET. OnDeinit used to finalise the in-flight run (StopTraining -> FinalizeTrainRun: checkpoint restore, live-state re-seed) and then write two full nets per chart. On four charts that is the bulk of the budget, spent to preserve a PARTIAL era that was never scored, never checkpointed and never deployable. FlushTrainRun() discards it instead - drop the resumable bookkeeping, leave the net neutral (unfreeze BN, flush the batch, batch size 1), skip the save - and training resumes from the last completed era, which the era-end save and the periodic autosave have already put on disk. What is discarded is bounded by one era. A CONVERGED model keeps the old finalise-and-save path: its weights can carry online-learning updates made since the last era boundary, and for a deployed model no further era boundary is coming to persist them. MAKE CLEANUP SELF-HEALING. Every purge sat behind a branch - no model loaded, sidecar missing - so the common paths returned leaving whatever the previous instance stranded. LoadChartSignals now sweeps the arrow namespace unconditionally before restoring, so the post-init chart holds exactly what the sidecar holds whichever branch runs, and the panel gets the same treatment before Create() (CAppDialog namespaces its controls, so a killed Destroy strands the lot and the next attach draws a second panel on the corpse).

feat: first-passage ladder + expectancy scan - price every geometry, not just the chosen one
Corrects the premise of the previous plan. Break-even is NOT a ceiling. If the model shifts the win probability on the bars it selects from p0 = m/(m+k) to p0 + d, then EV = (p0+d)*k - (1-p0-d)*m = d*(k+m) because p0*k - (1-p0)*m is zero by construction. The stop:target RATIO is expectancy-neutral - a punishing break-even is exactly repaid by the payoff - and only the real edge d and the TOTAL WIDTH (k+m) move EV. Width matters because the spread is charged once per trade however wide the barriers are, so a narrow barrier spends much of its own range on costs. DeriveBarrierGeometry's own comment already said the ratio buys nothing; the objective just never followed from it. Blocker this had to solve first: m_excUpCache/m_excDownCache hold only MAXIMUM travel each way, and a maximum cannot say which side was reached FIRST - so any geometry other than the walked one was undecidable on precisely the bars where both barriers were touched, ~28% of the sample. - BARRIER_LADDER: per bar, the first-touch AGE for 8 travel distances in each direction, filled during the walk the labels already run. Cursors keep it O(1) amortised per walked bar rather than 16 comparisons. Levels are travel FROM ENTRY, not barrier prices, so one ladder serves both directions and the spread is applied analytically when a level converts back to an SL/TP multiple - storing prices would need four ladders and bake today's spread into the cache. Sized, invalidated and validity-gated with the label caches. - ReportGeometryExpectancyScan: every ladder pair priced exactly off that cache - width in ATR and in SPREADS (cost efficiency, knowable without knowing d), break-even, both base rates, the share of bars resolved inside the horizon, and EV per unit of edge. Compares the widest resolvable pair against the quantile rule's pick. MEASUREMENT ONLY - the quantile rule still chooses. Nothing here can measure d, and width buys nothing if the wider target is less predictable. Base rates are printed beside each break-even because a persistent gap is DRIFT and must not be credited to the model. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix: the panel presented a chance win rate as skill
"Buy/Sell calls correct: 65% (unseen data, lifetime)" is a WIN RATE - m_cumOosCorrect advances on oTradeWon, did the implied trade reach its target before its stop - not label agreement. A win rate means nothing without the barrier that produced it. With the measured geometry a trade risks slMult*ATR to make tpMult*ATR, so under a driftless walk ANY directional call wins slMult/(slMult+tpMult) of the time for free. On the shipped 3.33/1.62 pair that is 67.3%, and the empirical long-win base rate on this window is ~65.7%. All four topologies read 65%: at chance, and below break-even, while the panel announced "65% correct". Four models with completely different trade counts agreeing on one number was the tell - a win rate fixed by the geometry rather than produced by the network. The deploy gate already benchmarks against this null (chancePrecPct); the panel did not, and the panel is what a buyer reads. The line now carries its own break-even and the risk/reward that sets it, so the number can never again be read as edge on its own.

fix: a resumed model cached a cold ATR as permanent, so it never trained
BufferTempData cached EVERY failure - m_featureCacheHasValue[idx]=true with m_featureCacheValid[idx]=false - and the cache never re-tries a miss. So a single feature read taken before the terminal had finished calculating the indicator buffers marked those bars unusable for the rest of the process, even though the data arrived milliseconds later. MT5 fills an indicator's buffers asynchronously after the handle is created, and a cold ATR returns 0 for EVERY index, not just its warm-up tail. BufferTempDataCompute rejects a bar with no ATR (correctly - the price features would be meaningless), so the whole window failed, and the whole cache was poisoned. Only resumed models were hit, because only they read features that early. Topology.mqh sets m_warmupPassesRemaining = netLoaded ? 0 : 3: a fresh start sits through three separately-scheduled Train() calls before anything touches a feature, which is exactly what those passes are for. A resumed one skips them and TuneIndicatorsAndTrain drives StartLabelCachePrebuild and the MI report from the first chart event. Its rationale - "a restart already has a proven-synced history" - holds for HISTORY and not for INDICATORS, which are recreated every process start. Downstream: BuildFeatureWindow failed on every bar of every era, so add_loop never went true, so pass 2, pass 3, the era counter and the checkpoint were all skipped and pass 1 swept 0->100% forever. The "0 samples" MI report line at startup was the same failure, four seconds earlier, already visible in the log. - a miss is now cached only when it is PERMANENT; the two "not ready yet" guards mark m_featureFailTransient and are recomputed on the next visit. Steady-state cost is ~ind_Periods bars per era, not 54k. - an era that discards itself now drops the feature cache before restarting, so any remaining cause of this state self-heals instead of looping. Deleting the .nnw "fixed" this only by turning the model back into a fresh one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

diag: an era that discards itself now says so instead of scanning forever
add_loop is exactly "at least one bar produced a usable feature
window". When it stays false, pass 2, pass 3, the era counter, the
checkpoint and every log line in the era-end block are ALL skipped:
Train() returns having done nothing, m_eraResumePending is still false,
and the next call restarts the SAME era from bar 0. That is an
infinite 0->100% "scan" loop that prints absolutely nothing - the only
remaining silent restart path in Train(), and it matches the reported
symptom exactly.
Pass 1 now counts usable vs unusable windows and reports at the pass
boundary, which demonstrably executes:
- total failure routes through ReportTrainStall (already capped at
one line a minute, and carries the run-state flags) naming the
counts, the required window width and the bar count
- success prints how long the scan took and how many samples it
handed to pass 2, but only once the era has passed 10s - a fast
era stays as quiet as before, a slow one distinguishes "advancing"
from "sweeping the same bars forever"
A PARTIAL failure is normal and deliberately does not shout: pass 1
walks oldest-to-newest and the deepest bars predate the indicators'
warm-up, so those windows fail and are cached as misses.

fix: training could only advance one 120ms chunk per bar
ScheduleTrainingIfNeeded() armed the next Train() call only when dtStudied < lastBarDate. That watermark test is right for a CONVERGED model - one inference refresh per new bar - and wrong for a training run, because Train() is chunked: it does ~120ms of work and yields, needing thousands of calls to finish one era, and every one of those calls has to be armed from there. dtStudied is two incompatible things. Train() sets it to the training WINDOW START (~2008); FinalizeTrainRun() sets it to the last bar SCANNED (~now). So the moment any run finalized, the scheduler went silent until the next candle closed. On H1 that is one chunk per hour. The symptom was indistinguishable from a hang: no era lines, no heartbeats, not one of the six instrumented stall branches - because Train() was not being CALLED. The TRAIN STALL line that caught it reported runActive=Y only because m_trainRunActive had been set microseconds earlier in that same call, and eraResume=N proved no era was in flight. Two log bursts, 28 minutes apart, exactly one H1 bar. Before |

diag: the heartbeat could be outrun by the condition it watched for
It fired only on 4096-item boundaries once an era had already run 60s. Those boundaries are all crossed in the first few chunks of pass 1, so an era that became slow AFTER them printed nothing at all - which is precisely what happened: 20 minutes, four pegged cores, zero heartbeats. I read that silence as "the era loop is never reached" and went looking for a wedge above it. The silence may simply have meant "past the last boundary". A diagnostic whose trigger can be outrun by the condition it watches for is worse than no diagnostic, because it produces confident wrong conclusions. Now time-gated: checked every 256 items (the mask only keeps GetTickCount off the hot path), prints when the era has run >60s and >30s since the last line, up to 12 per era.

fix: the panel showed "100%" for the whole of pass 1
The simple panel derived its percentage from pass 2's counters: (m_isTrainCursor+1) / max(m_isTrainQueueCount,1). During pass 1 those are 0 and 0, so the expression is (0+1)/max(0,1) = 100%. An era spends its first pass scanning ~38k bars - minutes of work - and the panel reported that phase as finished the entire time. Observed by the user as "started learning at 100% of their era and are stuck there", and it actively misled the diagnosis: the one number on screen said the opposite of what was happening. The UI cannot fix this on its own - it can see pass 2's counters but has no way to know which pass owns them. So each pass now PUBLISHES its own progress and a short phase name through TrainHeartbeat (which every pass already calls per item), and the panel just displays them: "learning (era 45, scan 34%)". Published before the heartbeat's 4096-item journal gate, so the panel updates continuously while the journal stays quiet. Both build variants compile 0 errors, 0 warnings.

diag: slow eras must explain themselves - heartbeat + era time split + pass-1 paint
The 23:42 restart left all four charts grinding ~25x slower than the 18:01 baseline (era lines in 86 seconds there; 20+ minutes of nothing here), and NOTHING could say why from outside: pass 1 logs nothing, its status paint sat inside the !wouldQueue branch so the IS sweep - 80% of the pass, processed FIRST - painted nothing either, the VPS has no debugger for a thread stack, and the hourly new-bar cache invalidation cancels and restarts an unfinished era, so a slow era can stay invisible FOREVER. Externals gave: four chart threads at ~95% pure user-mode compute, DLL pool idle, no file writes. That narrows it to "MQL5-side per-item work in the era passes" and no further. So training now explains itself: - TrainHeartbeat: one line per 4096 processed items, only after an era has already run 60s, at most 6 lines per era - a healthy era stays exactly as quiet as before. Reports position and the cumulative split: feature-window builds vs net forward/backprop vs everything else. Hooked into all three passes. - The era summary line gains "| ERA TOOK Ns (feature windows X, net fwd/back Y, other Z)" whenever an era exceeded 120s. - Pass 1 paints its progress for QUEUED bars too, not just the OOS slice, so the panel shows "learning (era N)" instead of sitting on the idle writer's "Getting ready..." for the entire IS sweep.

fix: a restart no longer loses the measured geometry or the training window
Terminal restart, 22:25: all four resumed models sat on empty windows with enum 2:6 barriers. Three interlocking causes, all visible in one log excerpt: 1) THE PRE-SCAN WINDOW WAS SIZED BY THE SAVED WATERMARK. A resumed model's dtStudied sits at its last studied bar, so Bars(dtStudied, now) ~ 0 and the resumed-model MI pre-scan built a zero-bar "complete" label cache - logged as "Buy: 0 | Sell: 0 | Neutral: 0". Train()'s own era start RESETS dtStudied to the training-window rule before computing its window; the pre-scan did not. The rule is now factored into TrainWindowStart() and both use it. The scan also refuses to arm before SERIES_SYNCHRONIZED (it ran in the same second as OnInit), and deployed models keep their watermark - for them it gates inference recency, not a training window. 2) THE HORIZON LATCHED ON AN INDICATOR WARM-UP. ComputeBarrierHorizonBars ran against a ZigZag with 0 calculated legs, fell back, and EnsureBarrierHorizon latched fallback(32) x slMult x tpMult = 384 for the process lifetime. A leg-starved horizon is now PROVISIONAL: re-resolved on the next rebuild, the label cache wiped if it moved (labels from two horizons answer different questions), and the geometry deriver refuses to run from it - a pair derived over a warm-up window would get PINNED. 3) THE DERIVED GEOMETRY WAS NEVER PERSISTED. The .cfg is written at model creation and at weights-reset - both BEFORE era 0 derives - so the measured pair lived only in memory: every restart read back zeros, adopted nothing, fell back to the enum barriers, and the era-0-only gate meant a resumed model could NEVER re-derive. A full day of training on 3.33/1.62 resumed as 2:6. Now: the settled pair is pinned to the .cfg the moment derivation completes (one-shot, atomic write), and the derive gate accepts any model with no pinned pair, not just era 0 - mid-run stability is carried by m_geometryDerived itself, which never allows a second derivation.

Measured on HYBRID, era 29 of the first win-scored run: the model collapsed
to always-Buy and was crowned "new best selection score 67.1%". Under
win-based scoring that is not a coincidence - the always-call-the-drift-side
model IS the chance reference, so it scores exactly chance (P(winLong) ~ 67%
on SP500), while every honest two-sided era scores 63-66% because shorts win
less often against the drift. Raw score ranking therefore actively prefers
the degenerate model, every regression restores back to it, and live NMS
collapses its near-constant signal to ~25 trades per era - observed as

fix: live trades now use the geometry the gate certifies; perf: BN kernels
Three changes, one theme: the trade placed, the trade graded, and the trade computed are now the same trade. 1) GEOMETRY WIRE (correctness, the ranked #1 open issue). The measured barrier pair reached the LABELS only - OpenParams still placed orders at the enum geometry (2*ATR/6*ATR), so the deploy gate certified "reaches 1.62*ATR before 3.33*ATR above break-even" about trades the EA never placed. Published via g_DerivedSlAtrMult/g_DerivedTpAtrMult (ConfidenceBridge, same same-tick contract as the confidence globals, because OpenParams runs on the root signal which has no pointer to the AI filter). Two writers: DeriveBarrierGeometry at era 0, and the .cfg adoption a deployed model takes. Overrides both legs and both Intelligent modes - the certificate is exact or it is nothing. TP is ATR-anchored like the label, NOT risk-relative, so a floor-widened stop cannot reshape the certified target. 2) BATCH NORM RUNS DEVICE-SIDE ON OPENCL. Four kernels in Network.cl - forward, hidden gradient, gamma/beta accumulate, gamma/beta apply - each a line-for-line transcription of the host implementation (NormalizeHost / HiddenGradHost / StepGammaBeta) including every NaN guard, clamp, and the exact moment-write ordering. The host copies remain the runtime for the DLL and pure-MQL5 tiers and the reference the kernels must match. Because this box has no OpenCL platform, the safety story is layered: - shim validation: kernels compiled as C and driven against a fp64 host transcription over NaN-poisoned stats, NaN gamma, over-clamp inputs, the frozen path, both optimizers, 3 batches - ALL PASS, worst normalized diff 0.132 vs tolerance 1.0 - in-situ self-check: each kernel is compared against its host twin ON FIRST USE on the real device (SelfCheckBn*), covering what the shim cannot - arg indices and buffer bindings. Any disagreement resyncs from the good copy, latches all BN kernels off process-wide, and training continues host-side. A transcription bug costs a warning and some speed, never a poisoned .nnw. - sync discipline: BatchOptions is now a CBufferDouble with explicit authority tracking (m_bnDeviceAuthoritative). Checkpoints/saves pull read-only; restores/loads/resets push; a mid-batch handover drains the device gamma/beta accumulator into the host arrays so no sample is lost. 3) SMALL FIXES. Apply-kernel build failure now latches the dispatch path at init (one warning instead of warning + failed Execute). Build tag bumped to win-scoring-gpu-v1 - first tag change since expectancy-stop-v1 despite five binary-changing commits. Both build variants compile 0 errors, 0 warnings.

perf: batch norm stops re-reading buffers it already has
Batch norm computes host-side while its neighbours are device-resident, so every value it touches crosses the bus - and the cost is the BLOCKING SYNC per crossing, not the bytes. Per sample it did four reads, two of which were exact duplicates: feedForward -> previous layer's Output calcInputGradients -> own Gradient, and the previous layer's Output AGAIN update/accumulate -> own Gradient AGAIN Nothing writes the previous layer's Output between the forward and backward passes, and nothing writes this layer's Gradient between the gradient pass and the weight-update pass - backPropOCL runs those as two separate top-to-bottom loops and only the first writes gradients. So the repeats are removable and the result is bit-exact: the same values, read once instead of twice. Each cache is armed by its producer and disarmed by feedForward, so a consumer whose producer did not run this sample falls back to reading the buffer rather than using the previous sample's data. That is not hypothetical - a batch norm at layer 1 never gets calcInputGradients called at all, the same asymmetry backPropOCL already documents for a layer-1 LSTM, so its gradient cache is never armed and it takes the fallback every time.

fix: the deploy gate was benchmarking a win rate against a label frequency
The gate rests on an invariant stated at ExpertSignalAIBase.mqh:199 - under a
driftless walk P(touch +k before -m) is m/(m+k), and break-even for a k:m trade
is ALSO m/(m+k), so "beats chance" and "is profitable" are the same test.
That invariant needs reward >= risk, and the measured geometry no longer
satisfies it. With target 1.62*ATR and stop 3.33*ATR, break-even is 67.3%, but
both-won bars were stripped out of Buy and Sell so the label base rate read
37.5%. chancePrecPct is max(BuyTotal,SellTotal)/bars, so the gate was clearing
models nearly 30pp short of break-even: 42% "directional precision" is +4 sigma
against 37.5% and loses money on every single trade. Live since

fix: both-won bars were labelled "do not trade" - resolve by first touch
Removing the min-reward:risk raise let the MEASURED geometry come back with the target NEARER than the stop (SP500 H1: target 1.62*ATR at q50 of favourable, stop 3.33*ATR at q75 of adverse). That reopened a branch the code called unreachable: price can reach +target and -target inside one horizon, winning in BOTH directions, and those bars fell through to Neutral. Neutral has only three producers, both-lost is unreachable (you cannot touch -3.33 without crossing -1.62 first, which wins the short), and timeouts logged at 1.0% of Neutral - so ~27% of ALL bars were being handed to the model as the abstain class when a trade either way would have collected its target. The cleanest positives in the sample, labelled "do not trade", while the fitted confidence threshold was being asked to find selectivity in what was left. Resolved by FIRST TOUCH: the target reached earlier is the trade that would have closed first. Same forward window, no extra lookahead. Same-bar ties stay Neutral - OHLC cannot order two touches, and unlike an intrabar stop tie there is no pessimistic side to fall to, so a guess would inject a coin-flip direction into the target. Also: - count both-won and its same-bar tie subset in the prebuild line, so the share is measured rather than inferred from arithmetic on a log line - scope the timeout counter to IS, matching the tally it is reported as a percentage OF; it was incremented over the whole scan and divided by an in-sample denominator - clear m_lastBarrierTimedOut at the top of the walk with the excursions, not at the bottom - the two early returns published the previous bar's verdict - mark the pass-1 label line PROVISIONAL. It prints the enum fallback because geometry can only be derived from excursions that do not exist yet, and it reads exactly like a config change that failed to take effect FORCES RETRAIN.

feat: fitted directional confidence threshold - selectivity gets a mechanism
The training loss and the selection metric wanted different things and only the second one knew it. Logit-adjusted cross-entropy has no term for "how often should I trade", so the head calls a direction on 87-91% of bars. The selection metric is precision x coverage credit, saturating at the coverage floor - above the floor extra calls earn NOTHING and only precision counts. So selection wanted few good calls, the loss produced many mediocre ones, and all selection could do was pick the least-bad era out of what it was handed. Nothing pushed the model toward selectivity. This gives the decision RULE the policy instead of distorting the loss (which is estimating class probabilities correctly, and a probability estimate should not be bent to encode a trading policy - Elkan 2001: estimate, then choose the operating point separately). AdjustedSignalFromSoftmax now abstains unless the winning direction's softmax margin over its best rival clears a fitted threshold. Margin, not the winning probability: the latter moves with overall calibration rather than with how close the decision actually was. Fitted on IS, applied to OOS and live. Pass 2 already forward-passes every IS sample, so the margin histogram is harvested there for free (primary occurrences only, so the oversampled replay queue cannot skew the operating point); the fit runs at the end of pass 2, BEFORE pass 3, so the deploy gate grades the thresholded model on bars the threshold never saw. Fitting on pass 3's own predictions would be choosing the operating point on the data being graded - the best-of-N error corrected in five other places here. Objective: maximise IS directional precision subject to still clearing the SAME coverage floor the deploy gate uses (base rate x 0.25, re-derived locally so the two cannot drift apart). Swept top-down in one pass; ties go to the LOWER threshold, since equal precision for less coverage is strictly worse. Under DIR_CONF_MIN_FIT_CALLS (200) it runs unthresholded rather than on a guess. The threshold is part of the MODEL, not the run: captured with Net.CaptureWeights(), restored with the weights at both restore sites, and appended to the .cfg under the same length-guard convention so a deployed model reloads at the operating point its gate actually cleared. A pre-2026-08-09 .cfg reads 0.0, which is exactly the behaviour it was trained under. Per-era line now prints "@margin>=X.XX" next to coverage, so a coverage drop can be attributed to the operating point rather than guessed at. Both build variants compile 0 errors / 0 warnings.

feat: remove Min_Risk_Reward_Ratio - a guess was overriding a measurement
The barrier geometry is derived from the instrument's own excursion distribution (stop at q75 of adverse travel, target at q50 of favourable), and then a 1:2 floor was applied on top, raising the target to twice whatever the stop happened to be. On SP500 H1 that pushed the target to 6.66*ATR, reached on 3.3% of bars inside the horizon - so the label became "almost never a win" and every topology was trained to predict an event that essentially does not occur. A measured target has to stay measured. The ratio never bought what it was believed to buy. A reward:risk floor does not create expectancy; it trades hit rate against payoff at a break-even the geometry already fixes - which this project has separately MEASURED (payoff 0.92 -> 5.72 with expectancy flat). What it did buy was two outages: four consecutive Market validation rejections for "no trading operations" when it rejected 100% of setups, and the label corruption above. Removed: - the input and the RISK_REWARD_RATIO enum (deleted, not left dangling - a live enum with no input behind it is the shape of the stale-.set incident that trained ~250 eras on the wrong target) - the forced target raise in the label geometry - the rrOK eligibility gate in the barrier-geometry scan, so every unclamped pairing now competes on the measurement alone. Clamping stays disqualifying for its own unrelated reason. - the reward < minRR*risk veto in OpenParams Kept: g_TradeRewardRiskRatio still computed and still bridged to Kelly sizing in MoneyIntelligent - the ratio as a SIZING input was always the sound use. Risk stays bounded where it actually is - account risk % and CRiskBudget. The low-reachability warning survives but is re-aimed: with nothing inflating the target, a target the market rarely reaches can only mean the horizon is truncating the excursions the geometry is derived from. Both build variants compile 0 errors / 0 warnings. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix: the Adam second moment was never Adam - all four tiers
Root cause of the B=32 regression, and it predates F4 entirely. Every Adam
kernel stored v already square-rooted and then fed that stored value back in
as if it were the variance:
v_new = sqrt(b2 * v_old + (1 - b2) * g^2)
That recursion has a fixed point at v ~= b2 = 0.999 for ANY gradient below
unit scale, so the denominator stops tracking the gradient and Adam degrades
into plain SGD with lr = lt. Measured against the shipped WarriorCPU.dll
(batch_accum_check.cpp, TestOptimizerScaleInvariance), 4000 steps of a
constant gradient: 3285x less displacement at |g|=1e-5 than at |g|=1, where
a scale-invariant optimizer gives the same distance for both. After the fix
all six magnitudes read 1.199 and v tracks |g| exactly.
It hit conv/LSTM specifically because they sit behind a batch-norm with
running variance ~2.6e+05, so their gradients arrive divided by ~500 - deep
in the degraded regime - while the dense stack near the loss stayed in the
working one. In situ on SP500 H1: lstm1 dW/W 2.62/10.0/7.14% -> 0.024/0.022/
0.003%, conv1 decaying to 0.000% by era 30. NeuronBatchNorm.mqh already
squared v back for gamma/beta and its comment named the kernels as wrong,
which is exactly why gamma/beta kept training while the stages behind froze.
Persisted .nnw needs no migration - v keeps its std-dev meaning.
Also, the two ways F4 exposed it, both mine:
- No LR compensation for B fewer steps per era. sqrt(B) for adaptive methods
(Krizhevsky 2014; Granziol et al. 2022), applied once in
InitialEtaForOptimizer(). Linear scaling (Goyal et al. 2017) is for SGD.
- Plateau patience denominated in eras, so raising B made the ladder 32x more
impatient in its only unit. PAI converged at era 41 on ~49k updates where
the same config had been finding new bests at era 1028.
TrainPlateauPatienceEras() stretches it by the same sqrt(B).
TRAIN_BATCH_SIZE 32 -> 8 so the patience stretch stays affordable (8 -> 23
eras per stage, not 8 -> 45). Both helpers are identities at B=1.
Deploy gate: DEPLOY_MIN_SIDE_RECALL_PCT (10%) folded into tradeableOK. The
perceptron reported Sell:0% recall in all 41 eras, cleared the floor on Buy
alone at 36.6% vs 34% chance, deployed, and sprayed buy arrows. Folded into
the ranking key rather than checked at deploy time so a one-sided era cannot
become best-so-far in the first place.
Deinit: the arrow purge now runs BEFORE ExtPanel.Destroy(), an unbounded
CAppDialog teardown that sat ahead of it - the same ordering inversion the
rule there exists to prevent. CONV was force-terminated 4.8 s into OnDeinit
(vs ~1.1 s for the three that finished) having reached none of its cleanup,
so its arrows stayed on the chart. Steps are now timed in the log.
PurgeChart's verification rescan filtered on OBJ_ARROW, the same blind spot
as the bulk delete, so "persisted 10 ... cleared 0" passed silently. It now
walks every object type and reports the object counts when both are zero.
Both build variants compile 0 errors / 0 warnings; both DLLs rebuilt.
FORCES A RETRAIN (already forced by N1) and both DLLs must ship with the .ex5.

feat: mini-batch gradient accumulation (F4), front-end-aware capacity budget (F6), split Wyckoff categoricals (N1)
Completes the 2026-08-09 training audit. FORCES A RETRAIN of every
Wyckoff-enabled config (N1 re-keys the fingerprint), and BOTH DLLs must be
redeployed alongside the .ex5 - they carry new exports.
F4 - mini-batch accumulation, TRAIN_BATCH_SIZE=32. Training was pure online
SGD (one weight update per bar), which is the mechanical source of the
era-to-era whipsaw every downstream guard was built to cope with. The O(n^2)
outer product is native - AccumulateWeightGrad / AccumulateWeightGradConv /
AccumulateBufferInto in Network.cl, WarriorCPU and WarriorDML - while the
optimizer step is host-side MQL5 shared by all tiers (ApplyAccumToBlock), so
there is one Adam/SGD implementation instead of four that can drift.
- the LSTM needs no outer-product kernel (WeightsGradient already holds the
sample's full dW) but could NOT simply be left un-zeroed between samples:
CPU_LSTMSeqBackward/DML_LSTMSeqBackward memset it on entry. Hence a
separate accumulator plus an elementwise add.
- batch-norm gamma/beta accumulate in host arrays, not new BatchOptions
slots - BN_OPT_STRIDE is baked into every persisted .nnw.
- scoped to pass 2; online learning keeps immediate updates. Every save /
checkpoint / scoring boundary flushes, scaling by the real sample count.
- degrades to per-sample updates (one log line) on a tier that cannot
accumulate, so old devices and DLL-free builds are unaffected.
- verified offline: DirectML/batch_accum_check.cpp drives the real exports
against an independent reference; at B=1 the accumulator matches the
shipped unbatched kernel's own gradient to 1.1e-16. Math only - the
in-situ check remains the per-layer dW/W report on a real era.
F6 - ComputeFirstLayerWidth budgeted against the RAW input width even where a
conv/LSTM front end had already reduced it, so an LSTM's dense stack was
charged for 1,280 inputs when it receives 64. Confirmed from the deployed
.cfg files: CONV, LSTM and HYBRID were all pinned at the 16-unit floor. Now
budgeted against the front-end output and capped at it (never fan out), with
the derivation reordered so both stages settle first.
N1 - EventCode/EventPhase/StructuralPhase are signed categoricals packing
direction and Wyckoff stage into one scalar across a sign discontinuity. Split
into direction + [0,1] magnitude, the same convention the base OHLC block uses.
Information-preserving; 13 readings now occupy 16 inputs.
Compiled clean (0 errors, 0 warnings); both DLLs rebuilt.
