## 🛑 Read this BEFORE touching anything trading-related
This backend manages real Hyperliquid leveraged positions for real users.
Bugs cost users money. **Five non-negotiable rules:**
1. **Two systems, one execution layer.** System 1 (Trump scalp) auto-opens.
System 2 (Macro Vibes / reversal) is **MANAGE-ONLY since v2.0** — the
user opens manually on Hyperliquid, then `/adopt` hands it to the bot.
`process_post()` early-returns for sys2 sources. Re-enabling sys2
auto-open would silently reintroduce all the leverage/budget/concurrency
race conditions we excised. Don't do it without an ADR.
2. **`released_at` is the "user took back control" marker.** A trade with
`released_at IS NOT NULL` is **OUT OF BOUNDS for the bot**:
- `recovery.rehydrate_open_trades` skips it
- `reconciler` skips it
- `close_and_finalize`'s atomic claim requires `released_at IS NULL`
unless `force=True` (only manual_close passes that)
- `partial_derisk` and `pyramid_add` early-return idempotent-success
- `/positions/open`, `/positions/today`, telegram_digest all filter it
If you add ANY new code path that touches BotTrade rows, ask yourself
"does this respect released_at?" Almost always yes.
3. **Effective exit params are FROZEN on the BotTrade row at open time.**
See the `eff_*` columns on `BotTrade`. Recovery rebuilds the watchdog
from these, NOT from the live Subscription. Without this, restarting
the backend silently rewrites every open System-2 reversal's stop loss
to the user's Trump scalp setting (1.5%). NEVER read live
`Subscription.stop_loss_pct` etc. in the close path.
4. **HL leverage is what HL says, not what the user requested.** Hyperliquid
silently clips the requested leverage to the asset's max (memes capped
at 3×). `hyperliquid.open_position()` returns `effective_leverage`
bot_engine and adoption must use THAT value to compute
`sys2_protective_stop_pct(lev)` and the derisk ladder. Using the
requested value puts the stop OUTSIDE the real liquidation line.
5. **Per-wallet asyncio locks wrap "check + open" critical sections.**
See `_wallet_lock` in `bot_engine` and `_wallet_adopt_lock` in
`adoption`. Without them, two concurrent signals can both pass the
daily-budget / concurrency / already-open check before either commits.

## What this product does (90 seconds)
```
Four signal sources → one bot → optional Hyperliquid execution
┌──────────────────────────┐
│ 1. Trump Truth Social │── auto-classify (DeepSeek) → "buy"/"short"/"noise"
│ (every post, <3s) │ if actionable: Trump scalp auto-open (System 1)
└──────────────────────────┘ Tight 1.5% SL, 12h cooldown, ≥30min min-hold
Optional: post prediction tweet via x_poster.py
┌──────────────────────────┐
│ 2. Macro Vibes │── 8 daily macro indicators (AHR999, F&G, etc.)
│ (BTC bottom + funding)│ + 2-of-3 bottom-reversal trigger
└──────────────────────────┘ Telegram alert with /adopt CTA — NO auto-open.
User opens on HL → /adopt → bot manages with
5-rung stop ladder, de-risk, pyramid, peak-trail.
┌──────────────────────────┐
│ 3. KOL talks-vs-trades │── Substack/podcast/X ingest + ETH on-chain diff
│ (29 feeds, daily) │ Divergence (publicly bullish, secretly selling)
└──────────────────────────┘ is the platform's highest-conviction signal.
Telegram alert only — never auto-trades.
x_analysis.py adds real-time X post scoring.
┌──────────────────────────┐
│ 4. Funding extreme │── Hourly BTC perp funding scan
└──────────────────────────┘ Alert only (manage-only via /adopt like Macro)
┌──────────────────────────┐
│ Telegram daily digest │── Once-a-day 3-section brief (Macro/KOL/Trump)
│ (per-user hour, opt-out)│ to every subscriber. Cron at minute=0 each hour.
└──────────────────────────┘
```
Free tier = read everything + Telegram alerts. Pro tier (Hyperliquid wallet
linked) = Trump auto-trade + /adopt manage-only flow for sys2.

## Stack
- **Python 3.9+** / FastAPI / async SQLAlchemy 2.x / APScheduler
- **DB**: SQLite dev, **Postgres prod**. All schema lives in
`alembic/versions/NNN_*.py`, ordered. Currently at head **026**.
- **AI**: DeepSeek via OpenAI-compatible API (`AI_BASE_URL`, `AI_MODEL`).
- Live scoring uses `AI_LIVE_MODEL` (~2s, latency-critical)
- Batch / reanalysis uses `AI_MODEL` (quality, ~10s)
- **Trading**: Hyperliquid SDK; API-wallet keys are envelope-encrypted with
`ENCRYPTION_KEY` (KEK), per-user DEK derivation via `crypto.py`.
- **Prices**: Two feeds:
- `binance.py` WebSocket → 30 mainstream perps (BTC, ETH, SOL, TRUMP, BNB,
DOGE, LINK, AAVE + AVAX/ARB/OP/SUI/APT/INJ/ATOM/XRP/LTC/ADA/MATIC/SHIB/
PEPE/WIF/BONK/TAO/JUP/RENDER/FET/TIA/SEI/PENDLE). The WS URL is built FROM
`ASSET_MAP` so the two never drift. Any asset NOT in ASSET_MAP loses
TP/SL/trailing protection (only max-hold remains) — see the ASSET_MAP
docstring. `tp_sl_monitor.register_trade` logs an ERROR if a trade opens on
an uncovered asset.
- `hl_price_feed.py` polls HL `allMids` every 2s → HYPE, PURR (HL-native assets not on Binance)
Both pump `price_store` + `tp_sl_monitor` on every tick.
- **Telegram**: long-poll mode (single instance), HTML messages, inline
keyboards. `telegram.py` send/edit/answer + `telegram_bot.py` commands.
Public channel broadcast (`TELEGRAM_PUBLIC_CHANNEL_ID` env) sends a
sanitised `format_public_post` version (no execution details, tier label
instead of raw confidence) after every per-user fan-out in `_dispatch`.
- **X (Twitter)**: `x_poster.py` — optional viral prediction tweets after each
actionable Trump signal. Gated by `x_enabled=False` (off by default). Full
no-op if creds missing. OAuth 1.0a hand-signed with stdlib hmac — no extra deps.

## The two trading systems (memorise this)
```
System 1 System 2
──────── ────────
Source "truth" "btc_bottom_reversal"
(+"funding_reversal" alert-only)
Trigger Trump posts a thing Daily scanner: 2-of-3 confluence
Latency need Seconds (price moves fast) Days/weeks (signal lives a long time)
Open path Auto (bot_engine.process_post fires _execute_for_subscriber)
MANUAL: user opens on HL UI, then
/adopt hands it to the bot
Stop loss User-configured + tight sys2_protective_stop_pct(actual_lev)
1.5% floor (TRUMP_*) = 85% × (100/lev), capped at 35%
Exit model TP / trailing / SL 5-rung stop ladder + downside de-risk
+ pyramid + peak-trail. NO TP.
Min hold 30 min (suppresses TP) n/a
Max hold 6h 18 months (ladder is the real exit)
Sizing base × regime multiplier Whatever user opened on HL
Concurrency cap n/a 3 positions / wallet (correlated beta)
Confidence min 88 (platform) / user 85 (platform)
Circuit breaker sys1_* sys2_* (independent)
Daily budget Full daily_budget_usd n/a — user controls notional on HL
Telegram alert Trump alert format Macro/funding alert + /adopt CTA
X tweet Optional prediction tweet n/a
```
**If you're tempted to put sys2 logic in `_execute_for_subscriber`**: stop.
`process_post()` early-returns for sys2. The function only runs for sys1 now.
The dead sys2 branches inside `_execute_for_subscriber` are kept for diff
minimalism — don't extend them.
---
## The /adopt flow (System-2 lifecycle in detail)
```
1. Scanner fires
└─ POST /api/signals/ingest (source=btc_bottom_reversal, signal=buy)
└─ Post row created
└─ process_post() early-returns for sys2 (no auto-open)
└─ notify_signal() → Telegram fan-out with /adopt CTA appended
2. User opens BTC long on Hyperliquid manually
└─ size / leverage of their choice
3. User in bot: /adopt
└─ adoption.list_hl_positions(wallet) reads HL state
└─ Telegram inline keyboard: tap [🟢 BTC long $1500 @72k · 2x]
└─ Mode picker: [📈 Standard] or [🚀 Aggressive]
└─ adoption.adopt_position(wallet, asset, mode):
a. Per-wallet asyncio lock acquired
b. Pre-flight: no_subscription / no_hl_key / paper_mode /
macro_disabled (Subscription.macro_enabled must be ON — /adopt is the
sys2 management entry point, so the Macro Vibes toggle gates it) /
circuit_breaker (sys2 CB still gates adopt!) /
already_adopted / concurrency_cap (3)
c. Re-read HL state inside lock (fresh entry/size/lev)
d. Reject if leverage > SYS2_MAX_LEVERAGE (BUG-09 fix)
e. Resolve sys2_protective_stop_pct(HL_actual_leverage)
f. INSERT BotTrade with eff_* frozen + sys2_mode + hl_order_id="adopted:<ts>"
+ trigger_post_id=NULL
g. register_trade() with full ladder/de-risk/addon/peak_trail
4. tp_sl_monitor drives the position
└─ Stop ratchet, downside de-risk partial reduces, pyramid add-ons,
peak-trail close, max_hold backstop. All staged through the
lock-protected partial_derisk / pyramid_add / close_and_finalize.
5a. User wants out: /release
└─ Sets BotTrade.released_at = now; unregister(trade_id) from watchdog
└─ HL position UNTOUCHED — bot stops driving, user has manual control
5b. Bot drives the close (ladder / max-hold)
└─ close_and_finalize() atomic claim sets closed_at, computes pnl
5c. User force-closes via UI: POST /api/positions/{id}/close
└─ manual_close calls close_and_finalize(force=True) — bypasses
released_at guard. Works on adopted-and-released trades too.
6. Recovery on restart:
└─ recovery.rehydrate_open_trades reads BotTrade WHERE closed_at IS NULL
AND released_at IS NULL
└─ For each sys2 trade: rebuild ladder from sys2_mode + adopted fallback.
Also reschedules _time_stop_check with remaining seconds (elapsed windows
fire immediately with delay=0). This is the critical fix — without it
adopted trades lose their entire sys2 ladder on restart.
```
---
## Singleton lock guard (critical infrastructure detail)
`main.py:lifespan` calls `_acquire_singleton_lock()` at boot using an
advisory file lock (`/tmp/trumpsignal-backend.lock`, configurable via
`SINGLETON_LOCK_PATH`). Only ONE process — "the leader" — starts the
scheduler, scrapers, price feeds, and Telegram poller. Any additional
worker (e.g. accidental `--workers 2`) serves HTTP reads only and logs
`SINGLETON LOCK NOT ACQUIRED`. The OS releases the lock automatically
when the leader exits, so a crashed leader unblocks the next start.
The `/api/health/deep` endpoint surfaces `"is_leader": false` and adds
it to `problems[]` so uptime monitors catch mis-configured multi-worker
deployments.
---
## Critical invariants checklist (when reviewing any trading change)
- [ ] Does this code path respect `released_at IS NULL`?
- [ ] Does it use `eff_*` (frozen) not live `Subscription.*` for exit math?
- [ ] If it opens a new position, does it use HL's actual leverage (not requested)?
- [ ] If it touches an open position concurrently, is it wrapped in the
per-trade `_lock_for(trade_id)` lock?
- [ ] If it opens, is it inside `_wallet_lock(wallet)` so the budget /
concurrency check is atomic with the write?
- [ ] If it closes, does it use the conditional `UPDATE ... WHERE closed_at
IS NULL` atomic claim?
- [ ] Does it handle the `already_closed` path from HL gracefully (preserve
banked partial PnL)?
- [ ] Does it correctly check sys1 vs sys2 CB independently?
---
## Common workflows
### Add a new signal source
1. Decide: System 1 (auto-trade) or System 2 (alert + /adopt) or alert-only?
2. Write a scanner under `app/services/scanners/NEW.py` that posts to
`POST /api/signals/ingest` with `{source: "your_new_source", ...}`.
3. Schedule it in `app/main.py` (`_scheduler.add_job`).
4. Add the source to `signal_categories.SYSTEM_1_SOURCES` or
`SYSTEM_2_SOURCES` if it should trade. Leave it out if alert-only.
5. Add a Telegram preference column to `TelegramBinding` (migration)
+ a mapping entry in `telegram._pref_column_for_source`.
6. Add a label to `telegram._source_label` and `_signal_emoji`.
7. Add a `/yoursource on|off` command in `telegram_bot.py`.
8. If sys2: extend `signal_categories._CATEGORY_EXITS` if it needs a custom
exit profile (otherwise default works).
9. Add the deep-link path in `telegram.format_post` AND `telegram.format_public_post`.
### Add a new bot command
1. `_cmd_x` async function in `telegram_bot.py`.
2. Route it in `_handle_message`.
3. If it needs inline buttons: build `reply_markup` payload, handle
callbacks in `_handle_callback` (route by `callback_data` prefix).
4. Update `HELP_TEXT` and remind the user to add it to BotFather
`/setcommands` after deploy.
### Add a column to an existing table
1. New migration `alembic/versions/NNN_description.py`.
- Use `op.batch_alter_table` (sqlite-compatible).
- Default values via `server_default=` so backfill is implicit.
2. Mirror the field on the SQLAlchemy model in `app/models.py`.
3. Apply locally: `DATABASE_URL=<sqlite> alembic upgrade head`.
### Enable X (Twitter) posting
1. Create a Twitter developer app with OAuth 1.0a user context permissions.
2. Set in `.env`: `X_API_KEY`, `X_API_SECRET`, `X_ACCESS_TOKEN`,
`X_ACCESS_SECRET`, `X_ENABLED=true`.
3. Optionally tune: `X_DAILY_CAP` (default 40), `X_FOLLOWUP_MINUTES` (default 15).
4. Verify with a dry-run: set `X_ENABLED=false` and check logs — the poster
logs what it WOULD tweet without sending.
### Deploy
```bash
# On the server:
DATABASE_URL=$PROD_URL alembic upgrade head
systemctl restart trumpalpha-backend # or whatever the unit is
python scripts/preflight.py # MUST pass before flipping traffic
python scripts/launch_smoke.py --base https://api.trumpalpha.io
```
---
## Running it
```bash
cd backend && python -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env # fill in: ENCRYPTION_KEY, AI_API_KEY, INGEST_API_KEY
uvicorn app.main:app --reload # dev only; prod uses --workers 1, no --reload
```
---
## Testing
```bash
source venv/bin/activate
python -m pytest tests/ -q # 112 tests, ~2s
python scripts/preflight.py # env + DB + TG + AI auth checks
python scripts/launch_smoke.py # 14 end-to-end checks vs running API
```
Adoption + telegram_digest are snapshot-style (no real HL/AI).
End-to-end trading is verified manually via the bot.
---
## Telegram bot mechanics (since it's a custom integration)
- **Long-poll mode** via `getUpdates`. Only ONE process can long-poll a
given bot token at a time — if you horizontally scale, switch to
webhook (not done yet).
- Bot must be re-bound via `@BotFather` `/setcommands` whenever new
commands are added (the slash-menu users see is separate from what
the bot internally handles).
- `send_message` returns `False` on failure; per-user binding rows track
`total_alerts_sent` / `total_alerts_failed` counters.
- **Inline keyboards** = the `reply_markup` payload to `sendMessage`.
Callback data is capped at 64 bytes; keep it short (`adopt:mode:BTC:standard`).
`_handle_callback` MUST end with `answer_callback` or the button spins
forever on the user's client.
- Free tier = walletless `/start` (chat_id only). Pro tier = wallet bound
via `/start CODE` where CODE comes from Settings UI.

## Why "Macro Vibes" became manage-only (the ADR)
V1.0: System 2 auto-opened sys2 trades on user wallets. Carried real
execution surface: leverage clipping, daily budget split, concurrency caps,
sys2 paper branches, key handling per user. Audit surfaced ~6 bugs.
V2.0 (current): sys2 manage-only. The strategy is day-K — entry delay of
24h doesn't matter. The valuable part is multi-month exit management
(5-rung ladder, de-risk, pyramid, peak-trail), which still runs against
positions the user adopts.
**Net effect**: massive reduction in execution risk surface; same alpha
(strategy logic unchanged); legal/responsibility shifts from "bot opened
this for you" to "you opened it, bot manages your discipline".
---
## Things that LOOK like bugs but aren't
- **`_execute_for_subscriber` has lots of `if sub["_is_system_2"]` branches.**
Dead code under v2.0 (process_post early-returns for sys2). Kept for diff
minimalism — don't extend or re-enable.
- **`kol_x.X_KOLS` handle ≠ X username.** `handle` is the CANONICAL key
(e.g. "cryptohayes") that MUST match `KolWallet.handle` so divergence can
join post-side ↔ on-chain; `x_username` is the screen name fetched from X.
andrewkang/murad wallets stay dark (zero divergence detections) until X
ingestion supplies their post side — that's the whole reason kol_x exists.
Empty `twitterapi_io_key` → kol_x is a full no-op (no error).
- **`funding_reversal` source is in `SYSTEM_2_SOURCES`? No.** It's
intentionally NOT in either supported set — it ingests as a Post for
audit + sends Telegram alert via the CTA path, but doesn't trigger any
auto-trading. Adopt still works (it's asset-based, not signal-based).
- **`Subscription.sys2_budget_pct` defaults to 0.7.** Legacy field from the
auto-open era. With v2.0 manage-only, it's effectively unused — sys1
(Trump) reads full `daily_budget_usd`. Don't read it for new code.
- **Adopted trades have `hl_order_id` starting with `"adopted:"`.** Distinct
from auto-opened (HL order id integer) and paper (`"paper"` literal).
Useful for telemetry filtering — AND it's the canonical sys2 marker the
daily-budget query uses, because adopted trades have `trigger_post_id=NULL`
so source-based classification fails (M1 fix). The `/trades` serializer also
reports `trigger_source="adopted"` from this prefix.
- **`/signals/accuracy` is scoped to production sources + buy/short.** It
intentionally restricts to `SUPPORTED_TRADING_SOURCES` and the CURRENT
buy/short vocabulary — retired/test sources (rsi_reversal, sma_reclaim,
breakout, phase1, `test`) and the legacy `sell` signal are excluded so the
public accuracy scoreboard reflects what the live bot actually trades.
- **macro_enabled vs Telegram alerts are TWO separate switches.** Turning off
Macro Vibes (`Subscription.macro_enabled`) gates sys2 *management* — it now
blocks `/adopt` (macro_disabled). It does NOT silence Telegram alerts; those
are controlled independently by the per-source `TelegramBinding` preference
columns. "Alerts on, don't auto-manage" is a deliberately supported combo.
- **`telegram.send_message` accepts `int | str` for `chat_id`.** Intentional.
Integer = private chat, string = public channel username (e.g. `"@trumpalpha"`).
- **`format_public_post` deliberately omits `expected_move_pct`,
`invalidation_price`, and `/adopt` CTA.** Execution-sensitive data stays
private. The public version shows confidence tier (HIGH/MED/LOW) instead
of the raw score.
- **`_adopt_locks` in adoption.py** is an `OrderedDict` capped at 512 with
LRU eviction — matches the `_WALLET_LOCK_MAX` pattern in `bot_engine`.
- **`trumpstruth.py` runs at half-interval offset** — the two CNN + trumpstruth
pollers are deliberately staggered so they don't hammer upstream simultaneously.
The offset is `truth_social_poll_seconds // 2`, set via APScheduler
`next_run_time` at boot.

## Open known issues (not blocking launch but worth fixing later)
- **`adopt:choose:BTC` callback may show stale prices** if user takes >60s
to tap (HL fees, partial fills can change entry/size). adopt_position
re-reads HL at mode-tap time so the FROZEN BotTrade is always fresh,
but the picker label could be outdated.
- ~~**Telegram bot offset on restart**~~ **FIXED 2026-06-01**: startup drain
added. Stale `/adopt` replays suppressed.
- **`/adopt` picker label** can show stale price if user waits >60s to tap
(frozen BotTrade is always fresh, but the Telegram picker label may be outdated).
- ~~**M1 adopted positions miscounted against sys1 budget**~~ **FIXED 2026-06-09**:
the daily-budget query in `bot_engine` now treats any trade whose
`hl_order_id` starts with `"adopted:"` as sys2, regardless of the NULL
`trigger_post_id`. Previously the outerjoin to Post yielded src=NULL →
classified as sys1 → every adopted macro position inflated the Trump
scalp budget and could prematurely trip `budget_reached`.
- **Funding-reversal `/adopt` uses the btc_bottom_reversal exit profile**
(`ADOPTED_CATEGORY` is fixed). This is BY DESIGN, not a bug: adopt is
ASSET-based (the user opens any position on HL and adopts it) — the bot has
no reliable link back to which signal motivated it, and the sys2 ladder is
direction/horizon-agnostic. Changing this needs a source-tracking mechanism
at adopt time (an ADR), not a one-line tweak.
**Deferred security items — ALL RESOLVED 2026-06-12:**
- ~~**C3**~~ FIXED: signed reads now send `X-Sig-Ts` / `X-Sig-Sig` HEADERS
(see `signed_read_creds` in signed_request.py). Legacy `?ts=&sig=` query
params still accepted (deprecated) for old clients.
- ~~**H4**~~ FIXED: keys now encrypt as `enc:v2` (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256, per-blob
salt, 600k iters). v1 blobs still decrypt; run `scripts/reencrypt_keys.py`
ONCE in prod (after DB backup) to upgrade stored rows.
- ~~**M5**~~ Was already fixed: unauthenticated `/telegram/{wallet}/status`
returns only `configured`/`bound` booleans; full details require a signed read.

## Repos in this project
- **This repo** (`/Users/k/Public/trumpsignal/backend`) — Python/FastAPI backend
- **Sibling frontend** (`/Users/k/Public/trumpsignal/frontend`) — Next.js 16
dashboard at trumpsignal.com. See its own CLAUDE.md.
Both deployed independently. Backend serves the JSON API + Telegram bot.
Frontend is a thin SPA over the API + WebSocket.
