Institutional Peer Code Review & System Evolution
Complete forensic documentation of the dual-LLM quantitative peer-review, auto-remediation, microstructural invariant hardening, and zero-touch AWS EC2 production deployment across all 18 algorithmic strategies.
1. Executive Summary & Core Milestones
Over this session, the QuadraTrades multi-strategy algorithmic option-buying platform underwent a complete, autonomous
dual-LLM peer code review. Every strategy was systematically scrutinized by an adversarial Red-Team auditor (OpenAI gpt-4o),
auto-remediated by a Blue-Team patcher (Google Gemini gemini-3.5-flash), passed rigorous regression tests, and was deployed directly
to the live AWS EC2 instance (13.207.146.76) with verified 100% active daemon health.
2. The 5 Core Quantitative Mandates
Every single strategy in the suite was refactored and audited to strictly obey 5 universal institutional invariants. Any strategy failing to enforce these invariants was rejected by the gatekeeper and rewritten before deployment.
EXPIRY_WEEKDAY = 1)
Enforces the NSE weekly NIFTY contract expiry on Tuesdays. 0-DTE strategies (such as ExpiryGammaBlast)
only execute on Tuesdays. Multi-day intraday strategies trade freely Monday through Friday without artificial day locks.
Eliminates backtest bias and paper discrepancies. Invalidation distances and risk points are calculated strictly from actual
market fill LTP (curr.close), ensuring that modeled stop-losses and option deltas match real broker fills.
When an explosive breakout candle creates raw structural risk exceeding the strategy's risk ceiling (e.g. 35.0 pts), the strategy cleanly rejects the setup with diagnostic metadata rather than artificially clamping the stop. This prevents normal pullback retests from wiping out positions.
All strategies enforce an opening bell blackout until 09:25:00 IST, eliminating 2-second whipsaw stop-outs caused by
opening price discovery and bloated bid-ask spreads. Additionally, atomic debounce locks (min_signal_spacing_bars = 3)
prevent duplicate entries on consecutive 5m bars.
All entry zone boundaries, structural invalidation prices, and stop orders strictly pass through round_to_tick(price, 0.05),
eradicating broker order rejections caused by raw floating-point prices.

4. Platform Engine, Risk Management & HUD Updates
In nifty_expansion_runner/config/risk.yaml, the maximum daily trade limit was expanded from 3 to 8 trades:
max_trades_per_day: 8 # Allowed daily trade count: 8 trades max
max_trades_per_hour: 3 # Max trades per rolling 60 minutesThis allows the multi-strategy engine to capture distinct setups across both morning momentum (09:25–11:15) and afternoon trend/gamma expansion (13:00–15:15) without running out of trade slots prematurely.
Eliminated the hardcoded 42.0 / 38.0 placeholder in main.py:1130.
The dashboard now dynamically updates its Entry Score and Runner Score on every tick:
# Dynamic real-time scoring components:
reg_pts = regime_scores.get(ctx.current_regime, 12.0)
adx_pts = min(25.0, (ctx.adx / 32.0) * 25.0)
vol_pts = min(25.0, (ctx.volume_ratio / 1.5) * 25.0)
disp_pts = min(25.0, (abs(spot - vwap) / atr) * 12.5)
Monitors NIFTY heavyweights (HDFCBANK ~11.5%, RELIANCE ~9.0%, ICICIBANK ~8.0%).
Vetoes setups with HEAVYWEIGHT_DIVERGENCE_FILTER whenever major constituent breadth contradicts NIFTY spot direction.
Active trade watchdog verifies live broker positions every 30 seconds. If an order is closed on broker terminals, the internal ledger auto-syncs without ghost trades, locking in real realized P&L cleanly.
