Code Structure

The code structure separates concerns: data ingestion, signal generation, risk checks, and order submission. This modularity enables testing and reuse across strategies.

# Example configuration for Uptime Monitoring
strategy:
  name: uptime-monitoring
  timeframe: 5m
  indicators:
    - rsi
    - ema_fast
    - ema_slow
  entry_conditions:
    - rsi_oversold
    - ema_crossover_bullish
  exit_conditions:
    - rsi_overbought
    - stop_loss_hit
  risk:
    max_position_size: 0.02
    stop_loss_pct: 0.015

Common Issues

Common issues with uptime monitoring include look-ahead bias in backtesting, overfitting to historical regimes, inadequate handling of exchange downtime, and insufficient logging for debugging.

Important: Always validate uptime monitoring logic on out-of-sample data before live deployment. Paper trading reveals execution issues that backtests miss.

Overview

This guide covers uptime monitoring implementation in automated trading systems. The approach combines established patterns with operational considerations drawn from production deployments.

Configuration Example

Configuration for uptime monitoring uses YAML or JSON format. Key parameters include timeframes, signal thresholds, position sizing rules, and risk limits.

Production Notes

In production, uptime monitoring requires monitoring for API rate limits, database connection pooling, log rotation, alert thresholds, and automated restart procedures. Document runbooks for incident response.
