From 2429394cd8857c48bf3e40243537802a42dc96fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ramseshk Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 08:34:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Deep audit fixes: A-S gamma scaling + Mean Rev window MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 1. A-S reservation price now uses gamma*500000 scaling. Before: bash.003 skew on 4K BTC (invisible, same as naive dual-quote) After: ~0 skew at max inventory (0.05% of mid — enough to suppress one side) 2. Mean Reversion: 20-tick → 60-tick window, threshold 1.0σ → 0.5σ. 20 seconds of 1s ticks is noise, not mean-reverting. 60 seconds captures real short-term reversion dynamics. Fill attribution verified: BTC sizes differ by 50 μBTC, ETH by 0.0025 — all above matching tolerance. Orderbook null guards present — no crash on failed fetch. --- live/node.py | 10 ++++---- strategies/as_quoter.py | 53 +++++++++++++++++++---------------------- 2 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) diff --git a/live/node.py b/live/node.py index 46a6378..df2953d 100644 --- a/live/node.py +++ b/live/node.py @@ -184,15 +184,15 @@ def compute_signals(): elif eth_cur < sma-1.2*std: STRATEGIES["Momentum Breakout"]["signals"].append({"time":time.time(),"signal":"SELL","strength":(sma-1.2*std-eth_cur)/std}) # Mean Reversion: VWAP on ETH (exclude current price from VWAP) - if len(eth_prices)>=20: - w = list(eth_prices)[-20:]; eth_mr = eth_prices[-1] - # VWAP on prior 19 prices, equal volume weights + if len(eth_prices)>=60: + w = list(eth_prices)[-60:]; eth_mr = eth_prices[-1] + # SMA deviation on prior 59 prices (60s window captures real mean reversion) prior = w[:-1] sma = sum(prior)/len(prior) vstd = math.sqrt(sum((p-sma)**2 for p in prior)/len(prior)) dev = (eth_mr-sma)/vstd if vstd>0 else 0 - if dev>1.0: STRATEGIES["Mean Reversion"]["signals"].append({"time":time.time(),"signal":"SELL","strength":dev}) - elif dev<-1.0: STRATEGIES["Mean Reversion"]["signals"].append({"time":time.time(),"signal":"BUY","strength":abs(dev)}) + if dev>0.5: STRATEGIES["Mean Reversion"]["signals"].append({"time":time.time(),"signal":"SELL","strength":dev}) + elif dev<-0.5: STRATEGIES["Mean Reversion"]["signals"].append({"time":time.time(),"signal":"BUY","strength":abs(dev)}) # Hurst/VPIN: feed BTC price into dollar bars if len(btc_prices)>=3: diff --git a/strategies/as_quoter.py b/strategies/as_quoter.py index 1c7c8ab..0b284ab 100644 --- a/strategies/as_quoter.py +++ b/strategies/as_quoter.py @@ -10,15 +10,13 @@ Key insight (missed by most naive implementations): When you're short → reservation price rises above mid → stop quoting ask When flat → quote both sides symmetrically at market best bid/ask -The AS math you paid attention to: - r = s - q * gamma * sigma^2 * tau - -Your inventory-adjusted fair value.
