Changelog
Every feature, improvement, and fix — shipped fast and documented here. Follow along as Tradewink evolves.
March 21, 2026
SuperTrend, PSAR, and quantile-MFE trailing stops
TradingThree new adaptive trailing stop algorithms join the dynamic exit engine — SuperTrend for trend-following exits, Parabolic SAR for acceleration-aware trailing, and quantile-MFE which sets stop levels based on historical maximum favorable excursion distributions.
Comprehensive NaN/Inf price sanitization
ImprovementA full audit of every code path that touches prices — from quote ingestion to Discord embeds to strategy creation — now guards against NaN, Inf, and negative prices. Prevents hallucinated AI prices from propagating into live trades.
IBKR missed-fill recovery
TradingInteractive Brokers positions are now reconciled after reconnection events, and missed-fill recovery runs as part of the pre-scan pipeline to catch fills that arrived while the connection was down.
Confidence calibrator in day trading pipeline
AIAI conviction scores are now adjusted by the ConfidenceCalibrator before opportunity scoring, so historical accuracy data tunes the raw model output and improves trade selection quality.
March 20, 2026
Execution quality gates
TradingNew pre-trade gates check bid-ask spread, historical slippage, direction bias, and re-entry timing before allowing orders. Graduated re-entry prevents repeatedly entering the same ticker after a loss, and hourly bucketing tracks per-hour execution quality.
Regime-strategy correlation matrix
AIThe regime detector now builds a correlation matrix between market regimes and strategy performance, adds VIX term structure analysis and breadth indicators, and includes overfit detection in the backtester.
LightGBM support and ML pipeline improvements
AIAdded LightGBM as an ML model option alongside the existing pipeline, with feature screening, rolling z-score normalization, and walk-forward validation to reduce overfitting.
Mean reversion strategy overhaul
TradingVol-regime-aware thresholds, momentum deceleration detection, kurtosis and VoV filters, strategy-aware dead zones, ATR expansion filter, and session range gating make mean reversion far more selective about entries.
Momentum velocity improvements
TradingNew decay exit detects momentum exhaustion, ATR expansion filter blocks entries during volatility spikes, momentum acceleration confirmation, and single-timeframe mode for faster scanning.
Community intel expansion
New FeatureResearch scanning now covers 10 Reddit subreddits plus web forums including Hacker News, Quant Stack Exchange, and Elite Trader — with a new reddit-learn skill to extract actionable codebase improvements from community posts.
Margin estimation and balance tracking
TradingA running balance tracker now estimates margin requirements before each trade, preventing over-allocation when multiple positions are opened in rapid succession.
Auto-strategy creation from winning trades
AIThe system now automatically generates new strategy configurations from patterns found in winning trades, feeding successful trade characteristics back into the screener.
MATIC to POL migration
ImprovementReplaced MATIC/USD with POL/USD across Coinbase, IBKR, and CryptoQuant adapters following the Polygon network rebrand, with CoinGecko historical data fallback.
March 19, 2026
Parameter stability guard
InfrastructureA new param_stability system prevents the autonomous agent from thrashing strategy parameters session-over-session. Changes are validated against bounds and rate-limited to reduce churn from conflicting optimization runs.
ORB strategy enhancements
TradingOpening Range Breakout now uses EMA-slope filters, a minimum range gate, and momentum-scaled Chandelier trailing stops for better entry quality and tighter exits.
Exit reason normalization
ImprovementAll exit reasons are now stored as structured codes (target_hit, stop_loss, time_decay, regime_shift, etc.) instead of free-text strings, enabling proper analytics and filtering.
CoinGecko rate limit resilience
InfrastructureBatch prefetching in scan and monitor loops, adaptive backoff, and a semaphore-based thundering herd guard cut CoinGecko 429 errors by over 80%.
Win rate root cause analysis
AIA systematic investigation into WR decline identified and fixed three signal-quality bugs — conviction gap zone, stale screener thresholds, and journal dedup race conditions.
15+ new glossary terms and learn articles
ContentAdded articles on VWAP strategies, market regimes, MFE/MAE exits, screener pipelines, and price action concepts — plus matching glossary terms with cross-links.
PostHog tracking for chatbot and pipeline builder
InfrastructureAdded product analytics instrumentation to the chatbot widget and pipeline builder UI for usage tracking and funnel analysis.
March 18, 2026
MFE capture ratio improvement
TradingA 3-fix decomposition raised MFE capture ratio from 0.33 to 0.50+ — fixing trailing stop retracement tolerance, time-decay extension logic, and the never-profitable guard. Trades now keep more of their peak gains.
Win rate factor decomposition
AINew WinRateFactorDecomposition analytics tool systematically diagnoses WR decline by decomposing performance across time-of-day, strategy type, regime, and ticker — pinpointing exactly what's underperforming.
Flat exit reduction
TradingTime-decay exits (positions closed for lack of movement) dropped from 30% to under 15% through a conviction gate, early MFE breakeven floor, and RSI-based momentum gate.
Trailing stop safety caps
TradingTrailing stops are now capped at min(3x ATR, 4%) to prevent runaway risk on volatile tickers, with a breakeven floor that activates when MFE reaches 2%.
Stale position auto-cleanup
ImprovementPortfolio positions now track an updated_at timestamp, and orphaned positions that haven't been refreshed are automatically force-closed instead of accumulating indefinitely.
Model router circuit breaker fixes
InfrastructureThe AI model router no longer opens circuit breakers on 502/504/timeout errors (which are transient), and blank_response_counts reset on success to prevent premature soft-bans of healthy providers.
March 12, 2026
DeepSeek R1 and Qwen 2.5-72B on free tier
AIFree tier users now get DeepSeek R1 for quantitative strategy analysis and Qwen 2.5-72B Instruct for report generation — two of the best open-source models available at no cost.
Tavily research for predictions
AIThe predictions agent now uses Tavily for deep web research when evaluating markets, with DuckDuckGo as a fallback. Richer context leads to better-calibrated probability estimates.
Broker enabled/disabled status
ImprovementReplaced the internal `is_active` concept with an explicit `enabled` flag for broker connections. Stock-only brokers are now filtered from crypto and futures trading automatically.
March 10, 2026
Slow query auto-remediation loop
InfrastructureA new background loop monitors query performance in real time and automatically generates and applies index migrations when slow queries are detected — no manual intervention required.
Twitter/X integration
New FeatureAdded a twikit-based Twitter client for monitoring market-moving tweets and sentiment signals. The agent can now factor in real-time social chatter alongside traditional data sources.
Explicit Save Changes for settings panels
ImprovementPredictions and user settings panels now require an explicit Save button press rather than auto-saving on every change, preventing accidental configuration updates.
Live LLM rankings endpoint
New FeatureAdded a `/llm-rankings` endpoint backed by live API data rather than static rankings, giving an up-to-date leaderboard of model performance across tiers.
March 9, 2026
DM alerts for prediction opportunities
New FeatureThe predictions agent now sends Discord DMs for high-conviction opportunities, arbitrage spreads, and daily digest summaries — so you never miss a market edge.
Email delivery tracking via Resend webhooks
InfrastructureIntegrated Resend webhook handlers to track email delivery status (sent, opened, bounced) and feed that data back into notification reliability monitoring.
Compliance v3.0 with electronic signature
New FeatureUpdated to compliance agreement v3.0 with seven new SEC/FINRA disclaimer clauses and an electronic signature requirement during onboarding.
PostHog cookieless analytics
InfrastructureEnabled PostHog's cookieless mode to improve privacy for users who opt out of tracking, removing third-party cookie dependencies from the analytics pipeline.
March 8, 2026
Thompson Sampling RL strategy selector
TradingThe autonomous trading agent now uses a contextual multi-armed bandit with Thompson Sampling to adaptively weight strategies based on real-time performance — strategies that work in current market conditions get more capital.
AI model optimizer loop with A/B testing
AIA new background loop continuously evaluates AI model performance across tasks and dynamically reassigns models to minimize cost and maximize accuracy using built-in A/B testing infrastructure.
Comprehensive compliance audit logging
InfrastructureEvery change to broker keys, user settings, and compliance agreements is now written to an immutable audit log with timestamp, user ID, and diff — meeting financial compliance requirements.
Compliance fail-closed
ImprovementChanged compliance enforcement from fail-open to fail-closed: if the compliance check errors out, trading is blocked rather than permitted. Safer default for regulated environments.
Account tier display in conversations
New FeatureYour subscription tier is now shown during AI conversations, giving the model context about your available features and model access.
Tier-based model routing for replies
AIAI conversation replies and tool re-queries now route through the model router, so each tier gets the appropriate AI model for follow-up responses.
