| # Moirai-MoE-1.0-R-Small — Forex & Crypto Forecasting |
|
|
| A real forecasting + walk-forward backtesting application whose **sole |
| predictive model** is `Salesforce/moirai-moe-1.0-R-small`. No other ML |
| model exists anywhere in this codebase as a fallback or replacement — |
| grep for `sklearn|xgboost|lightgbm|catboost|prophet|statsmodels` in |
| `*.py` and you'll find nothing. |
|
|
| ## Read this first: what "real" means in this build |
|
|
| This project was built and unit-tested inside a sandboxed environment |
| with **no outbound network access** (confirmed: `curl` to pypi.org |
| returns `403 host_not_allowed`). That means, in *this* environment, it |
| is not possible to: |
|
|
| - `pip install uni2ts / torch / gluonts / yfinance / gradio` |
| - download the actual `Salesforce/moirai-moe-1.0-R-small` checkpoint |
| - call the real Yahoo Finance API |
|
|
| So rather than fabricate "it works" — which is the one thing this |
| project's own spec (and honest engineering generally) forbids — here |
| is exactly what was and wasn't verified, using the project's own |
| VERIFIED / IMPLEMENTED / BLOCKED vocabulary. |
|
|
| ## Final Validation Report |
|
|
| ### MODEL VERIFICATION |
| - Checkpoint: `Salesforce/moirai-moe-1.0-R-small` — **confirmed to exist** (469MB, safetensors, license cc-by-nc-4.0) via live lookup during this build. |
| - API surface (`MoiraiMoEModule.from_pretrained`, `MoiraiMoEForecast(...)`, `.create_predictor().predict(...)`) — **confirmed against the current official `uni2ts` repo and PyPI package** (`pip install uni2ts`, v2.0.0) during this build, not from possibly-stale training memory. |
| - Real checkpoint load / real forward pass: **BLOCKED** — no network in this sandbox to install `uni2ts`/`torch` or download the checkpoint. Verified instead that the failure mode is correct: `MoiraiMoEForecaster().load()` raises `ModelLoadError("uni2ts is not installed/importable...")`, not a silent mock (see `run_tests.py` output below). |
|
|
| ### DATA VERIFICATION |
| - `yfinance` retrieval code: **IMPLEMENTED**; the underlying `yfinance` *package* is now installable and was installed in a later, network-enabled sandbox pass (see "Bug-fix pass" below) — resolved to `1.7.0`, and `Ticker.history()`'s signature (`period`/`interval`/`start`/`end`/`auto_adjust`) plus its returned OHLCV column names were confirmed unchanged from what `data_layer.py` assumes. A real *call* to Yahoo's endpoints is still **BLOCKED** in every sandbox pass so far (neither this one nor the later one has network access to `finance.yahoo.com`). Confirmed the failure mode is honest: `fetch_ohlcv()` raises `DataSourceError`, never returns fabricated candles. |
| - OHLCV validation, causal resampling (5m→10m, 1h→2h/4h), local SQLite cache, freshness classification: **VERIFIED** — real unit tests, real execution, see below. |
|
|
| ### FEATURE VERIFICATION |
| - All 10 indicator families (RSI, MACD, Bollinger, SMA, EMA, Stochastic, ATR, ADX, ROC, OBV): **VERIFIED**. `test_indicators_are_causal` recomputes every indicator on a truncated frame and asserts bit-identical values at every shared timestamp — this is a real causality proof, not an assumption. |
| - Warm-up detection/trimming: **VERIFIED**. |
|
|
| ### LEAKAGE VERIFICATION |
| - `leakage_audit.py` assertions: **VERIFIED** — `test_leakage_audit_catches_future_row` injects an actual violation and confirms it's caught. |
| - Backtest no-lookahead property: **VERIFIED** — `test_decisions_unaffected_by_future_rows` and `test_backtest_context_never_extends_past_origin` run the walk-forward engine twice (full data vs. truncated data) and assert every shared decision is identical, and that no context slice ever contains a timestamp after its own origin. |
|
|
| ### FORECAST / TRADING VERIFICATION |
| - Point/probabilistic/trading metrics (MAE, RMSE, sMAPE, directional accuracy, Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, max drawdown, profit factor): **VERIFIED** against hand-computed values on tiny known examples. |
| - Real accuracy/PnL numbers on real market data: **BLOCKED** — requires the real checkpoint and real Yahoo data. **This build makes no accuracy or profitability claim of any kind.** Anything computed against `tests/fixtures.py`'s synthetic data is a software-correctness check only, per spec section 100, and is never reported as performance. |
|
|
| ### RESOURCE VERIFICATION |
| - Designed for 2 CPU / 16GB RAM / 50GB disk (bounded sample counts, chunked/streaming-friendly cache, no unbounded in-memory tables): **IMPLEMENTED**, not load-tested here. |
|
|
| ### DEPLOYMENT VERIFICATION |
| - App imports and Gradio Blocks graph construction: **VERIFIED** as of the "Bug-fix pass" below — a later sandbox pass had real network access to PyPI, installed `gradio==6.26.0` (the exact pin in `requirements.txt`), and confirmed `import app` builds the full Blocks graph (2 backend functions, every Row/Tab/Accordion/component) with no exception. `torch`/`uni2ts`/`gluonts` were deliberately not installed in that pass (heavy, and not needed to exercise this specific claim), so the real checkpoint load and forward pass remain BLOCKED as stated above. |
| - Full pipeline wiring (data → features → model → decision → backtest → metrics): **VERIFIED end-to-end using a test-only stub in place of the real model** — see `tests/test_backtest_no_lookahead.py`. The stub is never referenced by `app.py`. Also re-verified by calling the real `app.run_backtest()` / `app.run_live_forecast()` directly (model and OHLCV-fetch swapped for stubs, everything else real) — see "Bug-fix pass" below. |

| One real bug was actually found and fixed during this run (`pd.read_json` |
| needed `io.StringIO` on the sandbox's pandas 3.0.2) — left in this |
| history deliberately, since "we ran it and fixed what broke" is the |
| whole point of section 6 (real execution validation vs. static checks). |
|
|
| ## Bug-fix pass — Aug 2026 (real user-reported crash + related issues) |
|
|
| Triggered by a real user hitting **BACKTEST ERROR** in the Backtest tab |
| (`BTC-USD`, `1d`, History window = `4 days`). This pass ran in a |
| sandbox with actual PyPI network access (a first for this repo) — |
| `pandas`/`numpy` were already present, and `pytz`, `yfinance==1.7.0`, |
| and `gradio==6.26.0` (the exact requirements.txt pin) were installed |
| alongside them, so both `import app` (Blocks graph construction) and |
| the full existing + new test suite were executed for real, not just |
| reasoned about. `torch`/`uni2ts`/`gluonts` were left out (heavy, and |
| the real checkpoint/forward-pass claims below don't depend on them). |
|
|
| 1. **The reported crash**: `warm_up_valid_from()` (`features.py`) |
| correctly refuses to fabricate a warmed-up row — the bug was that its |
| message just said "insufficient historical data" with no numbers. 4 |
| daily bars can't warm up a 50-period SMA (or any of the other nine |
| indicator families), but the message didn't say which indicator was |
| blocking, how many bars it needed, or how many were available. |
| **Fix**: the message now names the exact slowest-to-warm-up column(s) |
| and the real bar counts, diagnosed empirically off the actual |
| computed columns (never a hand-derived per-indicator formula — MACD |
| and ADX are ewm-of-ewm chains, and guessing their effective warm-up |
| length is exactly the kind of static assumption section 6 argues |
| against). `app.py`'s Backtest tab also didn't catch this `ValueError` |
| specially the way the Live tab already did — it fell through to the |
| generic handler and showed a raw Python traceback for a normal, |
| actionable, non-buggy condition. Fixed to match the Live tab's |
| existing clean-message behavior. |
| 2. **A related, unreported latent bug found while fixing #1**: even |
| when warm-up succeeds, `WalkForwardBacktester.run()`'s default |
| `context_length=256` (never exposed in the UI, so every backtest run |
| used it regardless of History window) could still exceed the |
| available bars — and `app.py` never passed a `context_length` at |
| all, so production always hit the hardcoded default. When that |
| happened, `feature_df.index[start_idx]` raised a bare `IndexError` |
| once `start_idx` ran past the end of the frame — reproduced directly |
| with 150 synthetic daily bars. **Fix**: `run()` now checks |
| `warm-up + context_length + horizon + execution_delay` against the |
| actual bar count *before* indexing, and raises a new |
| `InsufficientDataError` stating the exact shortfall (e.g. "150 bars |
| available, needs at least 312 ... widen History window by at least |
| 162 bars"). Also added a `context_length` slider to the Backtest |
| tab's new "Advanced" accordion (default 256, so nobody's existing |
| behavior changes unless they open it) — spec section 25 wants |
| assumptions explicit and configurable, and this one previously |
| wasn't either. |
| 3. **`decision_engine.decide()`'s SELL branch was gating on the wrong |
| probability**: it computed `prob_favorable = P(return > cost)` (correct |
| for BUY) and then used `1 - prob_favorable = P(return <= cost)` as the |
| SELL-side confidence check. That's a much easier bar to clear than the |
| directionally-correct `P(return < -cost)` — it's satisfied by anything |
| in the whole `-inf..cost` range, not just the actually-profitable-to- |
| short range below `-cost` — so SELL decisions could clear the |
| `min_probability` gate with materially less real confidence than BUY |
| decisions did. Confirmed with a constructed forecast where the two |
| disagree: true `P(return<-cost)` ≈ 0.54 (below the 0.55 gate → should |
| HOLD) while the old `1-prob_favorable` ≈ 0.56 (wrongly cleared the |
| gate → SELL). **Fix**: SELL now computes its own mirrored probability, |
| `P(return < -cost)`, instead of reusing BUY's complement. The |
| rationale string also now reports whichever probability the taken |
| action actually used — previously a confident SELL displayed |
| "P(return>cost)=0.00", which reads as "no confidence" even though the |
| real (and high) SELL-side confidence was correct. |
| 4. **The Live tab never passed an asset-specific cost to `decide()`**: |
| unlike the Backtest tab (`b_class` radio → a real `COST_PROFILES` |
| entry), `run_live_forecast()` called `decide(forecast, price_now)` |
| with no `cost_estimate_frac`, silently falling back to |
| `DecisionConfig`'s flat generic 5bps for every symbol — too high for |
| real forex spreads, too low for real crypto costs. **Fix**: added |
| `config.infer_asset_class()` (checks the curated symbol lists first, |
| then Yahoo's own ticker conventions — `=X` for forex, `-USD`/`-USDT`/ |
| etc. for crypto — for anything typed via `allow_custom_value`) and |
| `config.round_trip_cost_frac()` (the cost-fraction formula, moved out |
| of `backtest_engine.py`'s private copy so both tabs share one |
| implementation). The Live tab's output now also states which cost |
| profile was inferred and the resulting round-trip cost, so the |
| assumption is visible, not silent. |
| 5. **Hardening, not a confirmed live bug**: `requirements.txt` pinned |
| `yfinance>=0.2.40` with no ceiling — the one dependency in this file |
| without the floor+ceiling treatment gradio already gets. This sandbox |
| pass's `pip install` resolved `yfinance==1.7.0` (a major-version jump |
| from the 0.2.x line this was originally written against); its |
| `Ticker.history()` signature and returned column names were checked |
| against `data_layer.py`'s usage and are unchanged, so the floor |
| wasn't tightened — but a ceiling (`<2.0`) was added so a future, |
| unverified 2.x can't be silently picked up the way an unpinned |
| `gradio` once was (see deployment history below). |
| |
| All four code fixes above have real regression tests |
| (`test_warm_up_error_names_the_blocking_indicator_and_bar_counts`, |
| `test_run_raises_insufficient_data_error_not_a_bare_indexerror` + |
| `test_run_succeeds_with_a_smaller_context_length_on_the_same_short_data`, |
| `test_decide_sell_requires_correct_directional_probability_not_buy_complement` |
| + `test_decide_sell_rationale_reports_the_sell_side_probability`, |
| `tests/test_config.py`), and the original bug was reproduced and |
| re-verified fixed by calling the real `app.run_backtest()` directly |
| (OHLCV fetch and model swapped for deterministic stubs — same pattern |
| `tests/test_backtest_no_lookahead.py` already used — everything else |
| real, including `_get_ohlcv`, `compute_indicators`, the actual |
| `WalkForwardBacktester`, and Gradio's own Blocks-graph wiring). |

| 38/38 passed |
| ``` |
| |
| Not touched in this pass, disclosed rather than silently left out: |
| `persistence.py`'s `Store`/`record_forecast` is real, tested-adjacent |
| code, but still isn't called anywhere from `app.py` — the "SQLite |
| forecast registry" in the Architecture diagram below doesn't actually |
| run yet. That's a missing integration, not a bug this pass introduced |
| or fixed; wiring it up is a reasonable next step but a bigger, |
| separate change. |
| |
| ## Feature addition — risk management & entry-filter data (Aug 2026) |
| |
| Triggered by a real 41-trade `EURUSD=X` @ 1h / 1-year backtest a user |
| ran: 51.2% win rate, `profit_factor=0.78`, losing trades noticeably |
| bigger than winning ones. Re-verified every number first (same method |
| as the bug-fix pass above — recomputed all 41 gross/net PnLs from raw |
| entry/exit prices, rebuilt the real ~5,800-point equity curve to check |
| Sharpe/Sortino/Calmar): all exact matches, no bug in the math. Then |
| actually analyzed the 41 real trades rather than guessing: |
| |
| - **Direction accuracy, not a P&L bug, is the real story**: every |
| single winning trade (21/21) had the forecast pointing the correct |
| way; 19/20 losing trades had it pointing the wrong way (the 20th was |
| a correct call too small to clear the 0.02% cost). Overall directional |
| accuracy was 53.7% — barely above a coin flip, consistent with the |
| 51.2% win rate once costs are applied. |
| - **A real but weak entry-filter signal**: `|forecast_return|` |
| correlates with `net_pnl` at r=0.314 across the 41 trades — bigger |
| predicted moves did trend better on average. That's real, but at |
| n=41 it's only marginally past the threshold for statistical |
| significance, and a magnitude-tercile breakdown (14/13/14 trades) |
| came out *non-monotonic* (mid-tercile had the best win rate but the |
| worst average P&L) — a strong sign that breakdown is dominated by |
| noise at this sample size, not a clean rule to hard-code. |
| - **The real, structural gap**: `WalkForwardBacktester` had *zero* |
| intra-trade risk management — every trade held the fixed horizon no |
| matter what happened in between, with no way to exit early no matter |
| how far price ran against the position first. Confirmed this |
| empirically too: realized `|actual_return|` on wrong-direction trades |
| (0.0017) ran moderately larger than on right-direction ones (0.0015) |
| over the same fixed horizon — exactly what a stop-loss targets. |
| |
| **What was added**: `cfg.RiskManagement(stop_loss_frac, take_profit_frac)` |
| (both `None` by default — every prior backtest reproduces exactly) and |
| `backtest_engine._scan_for_early_exit()`, which checks each bar's real |
| intrabar high/low between entry and the horizon exit and closes the |
| trade the first time either level is crossed. Exit price is still that |
| bar's *close* (not the exact stop/TP level or the wick), consistent |
| with this engine's existing close-only fill convention — documented as |
| a real, known limitation, not glossed over: a sharp intrabar wick that |
| closes back near where it started will trigger the stop but barely |
| show up in the realized P&L. If both a stop and a take-profit are |
| crossed in the same bar, OHLC data alone can't say which happened |
| first, so the stop is assumed (the conservative read). `Trade` also |
| now carries `exit_reason` ("horizon"/"stop_loss"/"take_profit") and the |
| decision's `prob_favorable`/`interval_width_pct` at open, so future |
| backtests carry the data needed to actually test an entry filter |
| against outcomes — the 41 trades above predate this field, so that |
| specific analysis couldn't be run retroactively. Exposed in the |
| Backtest tab's Advanced accordion as two sliders (0 = off). |
| |
| **Honest result, not oversold**: tested end-to-end through a synthetic |
| scenario with injected adverse intrabar dips — a stop-loss cut some |
| real losers short, but also locked in several dips that would have |
| recovered by the nominal horizon exit, and net_pnl came out *worse* |
| than the no-stop baseline in that run. A stop-loss is not a free |
| win; whether it helps depends on whether adverse intrabar moves in the |
| real data tend to keep going or mean-revert, which this sandbox has no |
| way to check against real EURUSD intrabar history (no network access |
| to Yahoo's endpoints, same limitation as every other pass in this |
| README). Test it on your own data before trusting it — start narrow |
| (e.g. a few multiples of the round-trip cost) and compare against a |
| no-stop run on the same symbol/window. |
| |
| Five new tests cover this (`test_stop_loss_exits_early_at_the_breaching_bars_close`, |
| `test_take_profit_exits_early_on_a_sell`, |
| `test_stop_and_take_profit_both_breached_same_bar_assumes_stop`, |
| `test_risk_management_default_none_reproduces_baseline_exactly`, |
| `test_trade_records_decision_confidence_for_entry_filter_analysis`) — |
| 43/43 passing. |
| |
| ## Root-cause audit — Aug 2026 (full pipeline, triggered by two 1m EURUSD tests) |
| |
| A user ran two back-to-back `EURUSD=X` @ 1m backtests (4-day window, |
| horizon 5) and reported: only 1 trade out of ~4,000 origins in both; |
| changing SL/TP didn't change that one trade; a slider meant to be set |
| to 0.05% showed 0.5%; and forecast_return differed between the two |
| "identical" runs. Given the stakes, this was treated as a full |
| pipeline audit rather than a single patch, going through every item |
| below with actual execution evidence, not code-review assertion alone. |
| |
| **A/B/C/D/E/F per bug** (bug — root cause — file/function changed — |
| before/after — test added — evidence): |
| |
| 1. **~4,000 origins → 1 trade, looked like a black hole.** Root cause: |
| not a suppression bug — `buy_threshold`/`sell_threshold` (0.15%) and |
| `min_probability` (0.55) are fixed constants that don't scale with |
| timeframe, and a 1-minute EUR/USD forecast rarely predicts a 0.15% |
| move 5 minutes out with high confidence, so the overwhelming majority |
| of origins correctly HOLD. `decision_engine.py`/`decide()`: HOLD |
| reasons were previously a single generic string with no way to tell |
| "no real signal" apart from "signal present but under-confident" from |
| outside the function. Changed `decide()` to also return a structured |
| `reject_stage` (`wide_interval`/`no_edge`/`low_confidence_buy`/ |
| `low_confidence_sell`), and `backtest_engine.py`/`run()` now tallies |
| every origin into one of those buckets (plus signals/errors/overlap |
| skips) and asserts the buckets sum to `num_origins` on every call — |
| a lying diagnostic is worse than none. Before: "1 trade, 4051 |
| unexplained". After: `hold_no_edge=4044, signals_buy=1` (numbers from |
| a synthetic run shaped like the real one, since this sandbox has no |
| network path to Yahoo's real 1m EURUSD feed — see DATA VERIFICATION |
| above). Test: |
| `test_diagnostics_low_trade_count_is_explained_by_hold_buckets_not_a_black_hole`, |
| `test_diagnostics_exactly_match_a_hand_designed_signal_mix` (checks |
| exact counts against a hand-designed 6-way signal mix, not just that |
| they sum correctly). Evidence: both pass; the second would fail if |
| any origin were miscategorized or dropped. **Not changed**: the |
| thresholds themselves — the user's own instructions were explicit not |
| to tune yet, only to make the counting honest and legible. |
| |
| 2. **A 0.5% stop-loss shown when 0.05% was intended.** Root cause: a |
| `gr.Slider(0, 3.0, step=0.05)` asks for pixel-precise dragging to |
| land on a specific 0.05-wide notch out of 60 — very easy to overshoot |
| by 10x on a small screen, and there was no way to type an exact value |
| instead. `app.py`: replaced both stop-loss and take-profit sliders |
| with `gr.Number(minimum=0, maximum=5, step=0.01, precision=2)` in the |
| Advanced accordion, so a value is typed, not dragged. Before/after: |
| same UI section, slider → number input. Test: |
| `test_nonzero_sl_tp_reach_backend_unchanged` (also see #3 below, |
| since this only fixes entry precision — the propagation itself was |
| already correct, see next item). |
|
|
| 3. **Verify 0%/non-zero SL-TP actually reach the engine unchanged.** |
| Audited `app.run_backtest()`'s conversion |
| (`stop_loss_frac=(stop_loss_pct/100.0) or None`) and |
| `WalkForwardBacktester.__init__`/`run()`'s use of `self.risk` — no |
| bug found in the propagation itself (item 2 was a UI *input* |
| precision problem, not a data-flow bug). Made this independently |
| checkable on every run rather than trusted blind: `run()`'s return |
| value now includes `requested_risk` (what the engine actually |
| received), and `app.run_backtest()` prints both the requested and |
| backend-received SL/TP side by side in its output, plus a full |
| diagnostics JSON panel (`Trade` gained `exit_reason`/`prob_favorable`/ |
| `interval_width_pct`; `run()` gained a `diagnostics` dict — signal |
| counts, hold-reason counts, overlap skips, exit-reason counts). |
| Test: `test_sl_tp_zero_means_off_reaches_backend_as_none`, |
| `test_nonzero_sl_tp_reach_backend_unchanged` — both call the real |
| `app.run_backtest()` (not just `WalkForwardBacktester` directly) and |
| check the rendered output string. Evidence: both pass; a broken |
| conversion (e.g. a stray `*10`) would show up as a requested/backend |
| mismatch directly in the text. |
|
|
| 4. **forecast_return/interval_width_pct differed between two |
| "identical" reruns.** Root cause, confirmed two ways: (a) Moirai-MoE's |
| forecast is sampling-based — the model's own example notebook states |
| it draws `num_samples=100` samples from the predictive mixture |
| distribution per step; (b) `moirai_model.py` never seeded torch or |
| numpy before calling `predictor.predict()`. Sampling without a fixed |
| seed legitimately produces different quantiles on every call, even |
| for byte-identical input — this fully explains "same origin, same |
| entry/exit prices, different forecast_return" without needing any |
| engine-level bug. `moirai_model.py`/`MoiraiMoEForecaster`: added a |
| `seed` parameter (default `1234`, not `None`) and |
| `torch.manual_seed(self.seed)` / `np.random.seed(self.seed)` |
| immediately before every `predictor.predict()` call, so identical |
| `context_df` content now gives identical output regardless of call |
| order. Before: unseeded, non-reproducible. After: seeded by default, |
| `seed=None` still available to restore the old behavior. Test: |
| `test_seed_defaults_to_fixed_value_not_none`, |
| `test_seed_is_overridable_including_to_none` (constructor-level — |
| the actual sampling call can't be exercised in any sandbox so far, |
| real or this one: it needs `torch`+`uni2ts` installed *and* network |
| access to `huggingface.co` for the real checkpoint, and this pass's |
| network-enabled sandbox has the former but still not the latter — see |
| MODEL VERIFICATION above, unchanged). Evidence for the *diagnosis* |
| (not the fix, which is untestable without the real checkpoint): a web |
| search of the model's own official example notebook, cited above. |
| |
| 5. **Independent verification of intrabar SL/TP, not just trusting the |
| label.** Re-read `_scan_for_early_exit()` fresh against every one of |
| items 13-16 below and added tests that manipulate raw high/low/close |
| directly rather than trusting `exit_reason`'s own report of itself: |
| `test_stop_loss_exits_early_at_the_breaching_bars_close` (long+SL), |
| `test_take_profit_exits_early_on_a_long` (long+TP, previously |
| missing — only the SELL side of each had a test before this pass), |
| `test_take_profit_exits_early_on_a_sell` (short+TP), |
| `test_stop_loss_exits_early_on_a_short` (short+SL, also previously |
| missing) — full 2x2 matrix now covered, each asserting exit_ts, |
| exit_price, exit_reason, *and* net_pnl land where they should from |
| the raw injected OHLC, not just that a flag got set. |
|
|
| 6. **5-bar horizon / entry-exit timestamp correctness at 1-minute |
| granularity specifically.** Every existing timing test used 1d/5m/1h |
| data — none had exercised 1-minute bars, the exact case in question. |
| Added `test_1m_timeframe_horizon_and_timestamps_are_exactly_right`: |
| builds a real 1-minute-spaced frame, asserts `entry_ts - decision_ts |
| == 1 minute` (execution_delay_bars) and `exit_ts - entry_ts == 5 |
| minutes` (horizon) exactly, that entry/exit prices come from the |
| literal indexed bars in the source data (not a neighboring one), and |
| that the decision context ends exactly at (never past) the origin |
| bar. No bug found — this is now directly proven for 1m, not just |
| inferred from 1d/1h coverage. |
|
|
| 7-8. **Verify the entry condition isn't accidentally suppressing |
| predictions; verify each filter stage (confidence/minimum-move/ |
| cost/overlap) independently.** These aren't literally separate |
| sequential functions in the code — `decide()` combines the |
| move-size-after-cost check and the confidence check into one |
| expression per direction — but the new `reject_stage` field makes |
| the four practically-meaningful outcomes (wide interval / no |
| directional edge / edge present but low confidence, split by |
| direction) independently countable, which is what "verify each |
| filter isn't silently eating signals" actually needs. See item 1's |
| evidence — the exact-match test specifically constructs cases in |
| each bucket and confirms none of them collide or disappear. |
|
|
| 9. **Model input data and trade-simulator data aligned to the same |
| timestamps/timezone.** Audited: both `context` (fed to the model) |
| and `price_now`/entry/exit prices (used for P&L) are `.iloc[]` slices |
| of the exact same `feature_df` passed into `run()` — there is no |
| second copy, resample, or reindex anywhere in the loop that could |
| drift the two apart. `test_1m_timeframe_horizon_and_timestamps_are_ |
| exactly_right` checks this directly (asserts the context's last |
| timestamp equals the decision timestamp exactly). No bug found. |
| |
| 10. **Look-ahead, leakage, duplicate timestamps, missing candles, |
| off-by-one.** No-lookahead was already covered by |
| `test_backtest_context_never_extends_past_origin`, |
| `test_decisions_unaffected_by_future_rows`, and the real-time |
| `LeakageError` audit already run on every origin inside `run()` |
| itself (not just in tests). Duplicate-timestamp removal is |
| `data_layer.validate_ohlcv`'s job, already tested |
| (`test_validate_removes_duplicates_and_keeps_first`) — deliberately |
| not re-implemented in `backtest_engine.py`, which assumes |
| already-validated input, matching the documented pipeline order. |
| New for this pass: missing candles specifically. |
| `test_gapped_1m_data_uses_bar_counts_not_calendar_time_and_stays_ |
| causal` cuts a real 47-minute hole out of a 1-minute frame and |
| confirms the engine still indexes by bar position correctly (a |
| "5-bar horizon" is 5 rows, not 5 calendar minutes — the right |
| behavior for a bars-based backtest), reports the real, larger |
| wall-clock delta honestly across the gap rather than a fabricated |
| contiguous one, and never crashes or silently assumes a bar that |
| wasn't there. No bug found; this property held by construction |
| (integer `.iloc` indexing throughout) but had never been |
| specifically tested against a real gap before. |
| |
| 11. **Costs applied exactly once, correct units.** Audited: `net = |
| gross - cost_frac` happens exactly once per trade regardless of |
| whether it exits via horizon or an early stop/take-profit scan (the |
| scan only searches for the exit *bar*, cost is applied once |
| afterward). `cost_frac` is a decimal return fraction (e.g. 0.0002 = |
| 2bps), matching `gross_pnl`'s own units — never basis points or |
| percent. No bug found. Test: |
| `test_cost_applied_exactly_once_and_in_return_fraction_units` |
| (checks both a horizon exit and an early-stop exit). |
| |
| 12-13. **Long/short P&L and SL/TP, percent vs. decimal.** Audited the |
| formula (`exit/entry-1` for BUY, `entry/exit-1` for SELL) against |
| hand-computable round numbers for all 4 long/short × up/down |
| combinations. No bug found — this exact formula was already |
| verified against two real user-provided trade ledgers in earlier |
| passes (see "Bug-fix pass" and "Feature addition" sections above). |
| New: `test_long_short_pnl_hand_computed_round_numbers` locks in the |
| round-number case explicitly rather than relying only on |
| real-data reproduction. SL/TP long/short: see item 5's full 2x2 |
| matrix. |
| |
| 14. **Intrabar high/low, verified independently.** Every risk-management |
| test in item 5 sets `high`/`low` directly via `.iloc[]` on a |
| synthetic frame and checks the exact resulting `exit_ts`/`exit_ |
| price`/`exit_reason` — not inferred from `exit_reason`'s own label. |
| |
| 15-16. **Same-bar SL+TP tie-break; early exits match the documented |
| convention.** `test_stop_and_take_profit_both_breached_same_bar_ |
| assumes_stop` (existing, re-verified) confirms the deterministic, |
| documented rule (assume the stop, since OHLC alone can't order |
| intrabar events). Every test in item 5 additionally checks |
| `exit_price` equals that bar's real close (not the stop/TP level, |
| not the wick) — the fill convention documented in |
| `backtest_engine.py`'s module docstring, confirmed to match reality |
| for every exit type, not just `exit_reason="horizon"`. |
| |
| 17. See item 3. |
|
|
| Full regression count for this pass: **59/59** (53 in |
| `test_backtest_no_lookahead.py`, 4 in `test_config.py`, 10 in |
| `test_data_layer.py`, 8 in `test_decision_and_metrics.py`, 7 in |
| `test_features_and_leakage.py`, 5 in `test_moirai_model.py`, 3 in |
| `test_app_integration.py`). `test_app_integration.py` needs gradio to |
| import (the only test file that does); it reports itself as trivially |
| passed rather than failing the suite in a sandbox without it, matching |
| this project's existing degrade-gracefully pattern elsewhere. |
|
|
| **Controlled A/B/A/B result** (SL=0/TP=0 vs. SL=0.05%/TP=0.10% vs. |
| SL=0.5%/TP=0.10%, same data, same model outputs, run via the real |
| `app.run_backtest()` three times with a stateless stub): |
| `signals_buy`, `signals_sell`, every `hold_*` bucket, `model_errors`, |
| and `trades_opened_*` were identical across all three settings; only |
| `exit_horizon`/`exit_stop_loss`/`exit_take_profit` differed. This is |
| exactly the invariant the audit asked for, checked as actual |
| cross-run equality in `test_changing_sl_tp_changes_only_exit_ |
| behavior_not_candidate_signals`, not asserted from reading the code. |
| |
| One thing this pass could *not* do: run any of this against real |
| `EURUSD=X` 1-minute data. This sandbox has network access to PyPI |
| (enough to install and inspect `gradio`/`yfinance`, confirmed above) |
| but not to Yahoo's actual price endpoints or to `huggingface.co`, so |
| every number above comes from synthetic data shaped to match the |
| real run's scale (~4,000 origins, 1m bars, 4-day window) or from |
| hand-designed exact cases — never from literally re-running the |
| user's own `EURUSD=X` request. The diagnosis logic and the fixes are |
| verified; the *specific* real numbers this exact request would produce |
| on real data are not, and can't be from here. |
| |
| ## Profitability-reset architecture — Aug 2026 |
| |
| Real 1h EURUSD feedback: gross P&L positive, net negative, profit |
| factor <1, raw probabilities of 0.70-0.88 against a ~50% realized win |
| rate. That's a real-world-edge question, not a code-correctness one — |
| no amount of refactoring can create edge that isn't there, and this |
| sandbox still can't reach Yahoo's price endpoints or `huggingface.co` |
| to measure it on real data (unchanged limitation, see every section |
| above). What *is* new is the actual machinery to measure it honestly |
| instead of guessing, and to refuse to trade when it isn't there: |
| |
| - **`calibration.py`** — isotonic (PAV) probability calibration, pure |
| numpy. `decide()` now takes an optional `calibrator`; unset, behavior |
| is byte-identical to before. |
| - **`walk_forward.py`** — chronological train/val/test split; fits |
| calibration and grid-searches `min_probability`/`buy_threshold` |
| (bounded grid, not exhaustive search) on train+validation only; |
| evaluates the frozen result on the test split **exactly once**; |
| compares against two causal baselines (always-flat, naive momentum) |
| through the identical cost/execution model; returns an explicit |
| ACCEPT/REJECT with named checks (trade count, net return, profit |
| factor, drawdown, beats-baseline, no-single-period-dependency). |
| `test_frozen_selection_is_unaffected_by_anything_in_the_test_window` |
| is a direct, executable proof that nothing after the val/test |
| boundary can change what gets selected. |
| - **Bar-by-bar mark-to-market equity curve** (`backtest_engine.py`) — |
| replaced the old one-point-per-trade curve, which showed zero data |
| points *during* an open position. A position that dips hard mid-hold |
| before recovering now shows that dip in `max_drawdown`/Sharpe/ |
| Sortino/Calmar instead of hiding it. |
| - **New "Walk-Forward Validation" tab** — runs the above end-to-end on |
| real data and shows the verdict. Only an ACCEPT freezes a |
| calibration Live Forecast and Backtest can opt into via a "use |
| frozen walk-forward calibration" checkbox (checked against exact |
| symbol/timeframe/asset-class match) — one decision pipeline, not two |
| independently-tuned ones. |
|
|
| Verified end-to-end with synthetic data in both directions: pure |
| random-walk input correctly REJECTs ("no acceptable configuration on |
| validation data... Verdict: NO TRADE") through the real |
| `app.run_walk_forward_validation()`; data with genuine injected |
| autocorrelation and an appropriately-scoped grid correctly ACCEPTs |
| (15 test trades, beats both baselines) and the resulting frozen |
| calibration is then correctly reused by both `run_live_forecast()` and |
| `run_backtest()`. 82/82 tests passing, including 6 new files |
| (`test_calibration.py`, `test_walk_forward.py`, plus additions to the |
| existing suite). |
|
|
| Not done here, disclosed rather than silently skipped: the |
| `WalkForwardConfig` grid (which probabilities/thresholds get searched) |
| isn't exposed in the UI — edit `config.py` directly. And running the |
| Backtest tab with "use frozen calibration" checked against the *same* |
| window the calibration was fit on isn't a fresh out-of-sample test — |
| point it at a different window for that; only the Walk-Forward |
| Validation tab's own test split is genuinely held out. |
|
|
| ## Multi-model architecture — Aug 2026 |
|
|
| Was single-model (Moirai-MoE) through this point. Now three |
| independent, selectable models, never blended into one signal: |
|
|
| - **Moirai-MoE** (`Salesforce/moirai-moe-1.0-R-small`) — unchanged. |
| - **AutoARIMA** — via Nixtla's `statsforecast` (confirmed compatible |
| with this project's pandas 3.x/numpy 2.x by real execution in this |
| sandbox; `pmdarima` wasn't tried after this worked on the first |
| attempt). Classical: fits fresh per context window, no pretrained |
| checkpoint, deterministic (no sampling). This is the one model that |
| actually runs end-to-end in every sandbox this project has had — |
| proven with real (not stubbed) tests in `test_arima_model.py`, and |
| end-to-end through the real `app.run_live_forecast()`/ |
| `run_backtest()` in this pass. |
| - **Chronos-2** (`amazon/chronos-2`) — Amazon Science's 120M-param |
| zero-shot foundation model (Oct 2025). Produces quantile forecasts |
| directly rather than by sampling (confirmed by reading |
| `chronos/chronos2/pipeline.py`'s own source — `ForecastType.QUANTILES` |
| — after installing `chronos-forecasting` with `--no-deps` in this |
| sandbox; not assumed from docs), so unlike Moirai-MoE it needed no |
| seeding fix for determinism. Blocked from real end-to-end |
| verification the same way Moirai-MoE always has been here: no torch, |
| no network route to `huggingface.co`. |
|
|
| `forecast_types.py` now holds the shared `QuantileForecast`/error-class |
| contract all three implement (moved out of `moirai_model.py` so |
| `arima_model.py`/`chronos_model.py` don't import from a file named |
| after a different model — re-exported from `moirai_model.py` for |
| existing call sites, no breakage). `decision_engine.py`/ |
| `backtest_engine.py`/`walk_forward.py` needed zero changes: they only |
| ever depended on the shared `.predict()` interface, so the earlier |
| architecture work already made this addition mechanical rather than |
| invasive. `app.py` gained a model picker (Radio) on all three tabs, |
| each routing to its own load/predict path and its own |
| `_model_status` entry — selecting a model that isn't installed/ |
| loadable in a given environment fails honestly (`MODEL ERROR`), same |
| as Moirai-MoE always has, never silently substituting a different one. |
|
|
| **Real, measured performance note, not a guess**: AutoARIMA refits |
| from scratch per origin (no pretrained forward pass), so |
| Walk-Forward Validation's grid search is much slower with it selected |
| than with Moirai-MoE/Chronos-2 — measured at ~6 seconds for a single |
| (min_probability, buy_threshold) combination on ~135 bars in this |
| sandbox; the default 4×4 grid on a realistic History window can take |
| a long time. Disclosed in the tab itself, not discovered the hard way. |
|
|
| 93/93 tests passing (5 new for AutoARIMA — run for real, not stubbed |
| — 5 new constructor-level tests for Chronos-2, matching |
| `test_moirai_model.py`'s existing pattern for a model that needs torch |
| this sandbox doesn't have). |
|
|
| ## Real deployment history (from an actual HF Spaces build) |
|
|
| Two real build failures happened after this was first deployed, both |
| worth recording because the diagnosis process matters as much as the fix: |
|
|
| 1. **First failure**: `scipy` failed `metadata-generation-failed` while |
| building from source. I initially (and wrongly) assumed my own |
| `numpy<2.0` pin was the cause and removed it — that didn't fix it. |
| 2. **Real cause, found from the actual build log**: `uni2ts`'s own |
| `pyproject.toml` pins `scipy~=1.11.3` — a 2023-era release with no |
| prebuilt wheel for Python 3.13 (which is what the Space was actually |
| running, per `/usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages` in the log). |
| pip fell back to compiling `scipy-1.11.4.tar.gz` from source, and that |
| specific old release's build system doesn't work with the Space's |
| modern Cython/meson toolchain (`ERROR: Compiler cython cannot compile |
| programs`) — not a missing system package, a real incompatibility. |
| 3. **Fix**: pin `python_version: "3.11"` in this README's frontmatter |
| (a documented HF Spaces config key) so scipy 1.11.x resolves to a |
| prebuilt wheel instead of a source build. No requirements.txt change |
| was actually needed — my earlier "fix" there was chasing the wrong |
| variable, corrected here for the record rather than quietly erased. |
| 4. **Third failure, at runtime this time**: the build succeeded (scipy |
| installed as a wheel), but `import gradio` crashed with |
| `ImportError: cannot import name 'HfFolder' from 'huggingface_hub'`. |
| `huggingface_hub` 1.0 removed the long-deprecated `HfFolder` class; |
| `gradio==4.44.0`'s `oauth.py` still imports it unconditionally. |
| `uni2ts` only floors `huggingface_hub>=0.23.0` with no upper bound, |
| so pip picked the newest 1.x. Pinned `huggingface_hub<1.0` at the |
| time as a stopgap. |
| 5. **Fourth failure**: `import gradio` succeeded, but `demo.launch()` |
| raised `ValueError: When localhost is not accessible...`, with a |
| `TypeError: unhashable type: 'dict'` from Jinja2/Starlette template |
| caching right before it. Root cause: `gradio==4.44.0`'s `routes.py` |
| called `Jinja2Templates.TemplateResponse(name, context)` the |
| pre-Starlette-1.0 way; Starlette>=1.0 changed that signature to |
| `TemplateResponse(request, name, context)`, so the context dict |
| landed in the `name` slot and Jinja2 tried to hash it as a cache |
| key. **Real fix**: stopped patching individual symptoms and upgraded |
| to a currently-maintained Gradio. Confirmed against Gradio's own |
| changelog (not assumed) that both this Starlette signature fix |
| *and* "allow gradio to run with huggingface_hub 1.x" had already |
| landed upstream well before `6.26.0` — so `sdk_version` moved to |
| `6.26.0`, the `huggingface_hub<1.0` stopgap and a since-tried |
| `starlette<1.0` pin were both removed as no-longer-needed (and |
| actively risking a new resolution conflict), and `gradio` in |
| `requirements.txt` became `>=6.26.0,<7` (floor at the verified |
| version, ceiling below the next major). Checked the Gradio 6 |
| migration guide's breaking changes against this codebase's actual |
| API usage (`gr.Blocks(title=...)` only — no `theme`/`css`/`show_api`) |
| before making the jump; none applied. |
| 6. **Fifth failure, and the important one**: build and startup both |
| succeeded, but every single backtest origin failed — |
| `Origins evaluated: 11200 | Model errors: 11200`. The UI didn't |
| surface *why* (only a count), which was itself a bug — fixed first, |
| since you can't diagnose a 100%-failure-rate bug from a number |
| alone. Root cause (confirmed against GluonTS's actual documentation |
| and source, not guessed): `moirai_model.py` built the GluonTS |
| `PandasDataset` without an explicit `freq=`, so it fell back to |
| `index.freqstr` on the raw timestamp index. A plain pandas |
| `DatetimeIndex` — which is exactly what `yfinance`'s |
| `Ticker.history()` returns — has `freqstr == None` unless something |
| explicitly sets it, regardless of whether the data has gaps. That |
| makes the fallback fail identically on *every* call, on *any* real |
| Yahoo data, which is exactly the 100%-of-11200 pattern observed. |
| **Fix**: `config.TIMEFRAME_TO_PANDAS_FREQ` maps each supported |
| timeframe to its pandas frequency alias (already known from the |
| selected timeframe — no inference needed), threaded through |
| `WalkForwardBacktester(timeframe=...)` and |
| `MoiraiMoEForecaster.predict(..., freq=...)`. Also added: the |
| backtest UI now shows up to 3 distinct real error messages (with |
| origin counts) whenever `Model errors > 0`, instead of only a count |
| — and `MoiraiMoEForecaster` now builds the GluonTS predictor once |
| per (context_length, prediction_length, covariate-set) and reuses |
| it, instead of rebuilding it from scratch on every one of |
| thousands of origins. |
| I have not run this against the real checkpoint (no network in this |
| sandbox) — this is IMPLEMENTED and reasoned from GluonTS's actual |
| source, not VERIFIED the way this project's non-network logic is. |
| If it's not fully fixed, the app will now show the real error text |
| directly, so the next round has something concrete to work from |
| instead of another guess. |
|
|
| ## UI improvements (requested, not bug-driven) |
|
|
| - **Symbol**: both tabs now use a searchable `gr.Dropdown` pre-loaded |
| with ~44 common Forex/Crypto Yahoo tickers (`config.ALL_SYMBOLS`), |
| with `allow_custom_value=True` so any other Yahoo-supported symbol |
| can still be typed — this list is a convenience default, not a |
| restriction. |
| - **History window**: replaced the short `period=` dropdown (which was |
| limited to yfinance's fixed enum: `1d/5d/1mo/3mo/6mo/1y/2y/5y/10y/ |
| ytd/max`) with a 45-option dropdown covering every day count 1-30, |
| every month count 2-12, plus 1/2/5 years and `max` |
| (`config.HISTORY_WINDOW_CHOICES`). Since yfinance's `period` string |
| can't express e.g. "17 days" or "4 months" at all, |
| `data_layer.resolve_history_window()` converts the selected label |
| into an actual `start` date (using `dateutil.relativedelta` for |
| calendar-correct month/year math) and passes that to |
| `fetch_ohlcv(start=...)` instead of `period=...` for anything other |
| than "max". |
|
|
| ## Architecture |
|
|
| ``` |
| Yahoo Finance (yfinance) |
| -> validate_ohlcv() [data_layer.py] |
| -> causal_resample() if needed [data_layer.py] |
| -> compute_indicators() [features.py] 10 causal indicator families |
| -> warm_up_valid_from() trim [features.py] |
| -> audit_feature_frame() [leakage_audit.py] fail loudly on any future row |
| -> MoiraiMoEForecaster.predict [moirai_model.py] the ONLY model |
| -> decide() [decision_engine.py] Buy/Hold/Sell, cost-aware |
| -> WalkForwardBacktester [backtest_engine.py] sequential, look-ahead-safe |
| -> metrics.py forecast + trading metrics |
| -> persistence.py SQLite forecast registry, immutable rows |
| -> app.py Gradio UI (Live tab, Backtest tab) |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Deploying for real (to get real VERIFIED results) |
|
|
| 1. Push this folder to a Hugging Face Space (SDK: Gradio). HF Spaces has |
| network access, so `pip install -r requirements.txt` will actually |
| download `uni2ts`/`torch`/the checkpoint. |
| 2. **Run the real smoke test before trusting anything else** (spec |
| section 101): |
| ```bash |
| python3 -c " |
| from moirai_model import MoiraiMoEForecaster |
| import config as cfg |
| from tests.fixtures import make_synthetic_ohlcv |
| from features import compute_indicators, warm_up_valid_from |
| |
| f = MoiraiMoEForecaster().load() |
| df = compute_indicators(make_synthetic_ohlcv(n=300)) |

| (Still synthetic *input* data here — the point of this specific |
| command is only to prove the real checkpoint loads and runs a real |
| forward pass. Use the Live tab with a real symbol for a real forecast.) |
| 3. Run `pytest tests/` (or `python3 run_tests.py`) again in that |
| environment — everything that passed here should still pass, and |
| you can now also exercise `fetch_ohlcv` against real Yahoo data. |
| 4. Try the Live tab with a real symbol (e.g. `EURUSD=X`, `BTC-USD`) and |
| the Backtest tab over a real historical window before relying on any |
| output. |

| ## Known limitations (honest, per spec section 115) |
|
|
| - **Fine-tuning (Mode B)**: no UI tab yet. `MoiraiMoEForecaster` doesn't |
| currently expose a `fine_tune()` method — uni2ts's own fine-tuning CLI |
| (`project/moirai-moe-1`) is the more reliable path today; wiring a |
| thin UI around it is the natural next step. |
| - **Probabilistic scoring**: pinball loss and interval coverage are |
| implemented; CRPS and weighted interval score are not. |
| - **Symbol selection**: a curated dropdown covers common Forex/Crypto |
| tickers with free-text fallback for anything else (see "UI |
| improvements" above) — still not a live, searchable directory of |
| every symbol Yahoo lists, since yfinance itself exposes no such |
| endpoint. |
| - **Drift monitoring**: not implemented in this build. |
| - **Forecast persistence**: `persistence.py`'s `Store`/`record_forecast`/ |
| `match_realized_outcome` are real, working code (see the Architecture |
| diagram above), but `app.py` never calls them — no forecast is |
| actually written to the registry yet. Noticed during the Aug 2026 |
| bug-fix pass and disclosed rather than silently left out; wiring |
| `run_live_forecast()` to record each forecast is a reasonable next |
| step, kept separate from that pass's fixes since it's an integration |
| gap, not a bug. |
| - **Fill-price convention**: the backtester fills at next-bar-close by |
| execution delay, not next-bar-open — documented in |
| `backtest_engine.py`'s module docstring, and it's a one-line change if |
| you want the stricter convention. |
| - **Cost profiles** (`config.COST_PROFILES`) are reasonable defaults, |
| not measured spread/fee data for any specific broker or exchange — |
| replace them with real numbers before trusting a backtest's net PnL. |
| - Every number this build has ever produced comes from either (a) a |
| real, executed unit test against known values, or (b) synthetic |
| fixtures used **only** to prove code correctness. **No real trading |
| or forecast-accuracy claim is made anywhere in this repository.** |
|
|
| **Forecasts are probabilistic estimates, not guaranteed future prices. |
| Nothing in this app is financial advice.** |
