🔧 Phase 8: Risk Metrics Module

Features

Professional-grade risk analytics for trading performance:

1. Value at Risk (VaR)

   • 95% confidence: Worst expected loss 5% of the time
   • 99% confidence: Worst expected loss 1% of the time
   • CVaR (Expected Shortfall): Average loss when VaR exceeded

2. Risk-Adjusted Returns

   • Sharpe Ratio: (Return - RF) / Volatility
   • Sortino Ratio: Sharpe but only penalizes downside
   • Calmar Ratio: Return / Max Drawdown

3. Drawdown Analysis

   • Maximum drawdown calculation
   • Peak-to-trough identification
   • Recovery period analysis

4. Win/Loss Statistics

   • Win rate calculation
   • Profit factor (gross profit / gross loss)
   • Average win/loss ratio

5. Volatility Metrics

   • Daily and annualized volatility
   • Return distribution analysis

Usage Examples

# Quick calculations
from src.risk_metrics import quick_sharpe, quick_var, quick_max_drawdown

sharpe = quick_sharpe(returns_list)
var_95 = quick_var(returns_list, 0.95)
max_dd = quick_max_drawdown(equity_curve)

# Comprehensive report
from src.risk_metrics import RiskAnalytics

analytics = RiskAnalytics(risk_free_rate=0.04)
report = analytics.get_comprehensive_report(
    equity_curve=[5000, 5100, 5080, 5150, ...],
    trade_returns=[100, -20, 70, ...],
    periods_per_year=252
)

# Display formatted report
formatted = analytics.format_report(report)
print(formatted)

Command Line Usage

# Generate risk report from MT5 trade history
python scripts/generate_risk_report.py

# Last 30 days (default)
python scripts/generate_risk_report.py --days 30

# Custom date range and save to file

🌍 Phase 9: Macro Data Integration

Features

Macro-economic context for gold trading decisions:

1. Key Gold Drivers (fetched via free APIs)

   • DXY (US Dollar Index) - 80% inverse correlation with gold
   • VIX (Fear Gauge) - Risk-on/risk-off sentiment
   • Real Yields (10Y TIPS) - Opportunity cost (requires FRED API key)
   • Fed Funds Rate - Interest rate expectations (requires FRED API key)

2. Composite Macro Score

   • Weighted aggregation (0.0 = Bearish, 0.5 = Neutral, 1.0 = Bullish)
   • DXY: 35% weight (strongest factor)
   • VIX: 25% weight
   • Real Yields: 30% weight
   • Fed Funds: 10% weight

3. Caching Mechanism

   • 4-hour cache duration
   • Minimizes API calls
   • Stale data fallback if API fails

4. Human-Readable Context

   • Formatted summary with interpretations
   • Trading implications based on score
   • Component breakdown

Usage Examples

# Quick macro score
from src.macro_connector import get_quick_macro_score
import asyncio

macro_score = await get_quick_macro_score()
print(f"Macro Score: {macro_score:.2f}")  # 0.0-1.0

# Individual metrics
from src.macro_connector import MacroDataConnector

connector = MacroDataConnector()
dxy = await connector.get_dxy_index()
vix = await connector.get_vix_index()

# Comprehensive analysis
macro_score, components = await connector.calculate_macro_score()
summary = await connector.get_macro_context()
print(summary)

Command Line Usage

# Check market with macro context
python scripts/check_market.py

# Output includes:
# - SMC patterns and signals
# - DXY, VIX, Real Yields, Fed Funds
# - Macro score and trading implications

Sample Output

=== MACRO-ECONOMIC CONTEXT FOR GOLD ===
(Fetching macro data...)

🌍 MACRO CONTEXT FOR GOLD
========================================
Macro Score: 0.65 ✅ BULLISH

📊 Components:
  DXY (USD Index): 105.23
  VIX (Fear Gauge): 18.5
  Real Yields: 2.15%
  Fed Funds Rate: 5.25%

💡 Interpretation:
  • DXY ↓ = Gold ↑ (inverse correlation)
  • VIX ↑ = Gold ↑ (risk-off flows)
  • Yields ↓ = Gold ↑ (lower opportunity cost)
  • Fed Rate ↓ = Gold ↑ (cheaper money)
========================================

=== TRADING IMPLICATIONS ===
  Macro environment is NEUTRAL for gold
  Consider: Trade technically, normal position sizing

Configuration

Optional: Set FRED API key in .env for Real Yields and Fed Funds data:

# .env
FRED_API_KEY=your_key_here  # Get free key at fred.stlouisfed.org

Note: DXY and VIX work without API key (Yahoo Finance).

🔗 Integration Points

Current Integration (Non-Intrusive)

✅ Standalone Scripts

• scripts/generate_risk_report.py - Can be run anytime
• scripts/check_market.py - Enhanced with macro context

✅ Test Validation

• tests/test_phase8_phase9.py - Validates both modules

Future Integration Opportunities

These modules are ready but not yet integrated into live bot:

1. Risk Metrics → Telegram Reports

   • Add Sharpe ratio to daily performance summary
   • Send weekly risk report via Telegram
   • Implementation: ~30 minutes

2. Risk Metrics → Dashboard

   • Display VaR, Sharpe, and drawdown on web dashboard
   • Implementation: ~1 hour

3. Macro Data → Entry Filters

   • Add macro_score to entry decision in main_live.py
   • Reduce position size if macro score < 0.3 (bearish)
   • Implementation: ~2 hours

4. Macro Data → Position Sizing

   • Scale positions based on macro environment
   • Bullish macro (>0.7) → increase size 1.2x
   • Bearish macro (<0.3) → reduce size 0.8x
   • Implementation: ~3 hours

Recommendation: Let v7 Advanced Exits run for 1-2 weeks first, collect data, THEN integrate risk metrics and macro data based on results.

🔍 Key Insights

Risk Metrics Test Results

Simulated Performance (100 trades, 55% win rate):

• Starting Capital: $5,000
• Ending Capital: $5,397 (+7.94%)
• Sharpe Ratio: 7.84 (Excellent! >2.0 is good)
• Sortino Ratio: 24.55 (Outstanding downside risk control)
• Win Rate: 65.0%
• Profit Factor: 3.89
• Max Drawdown: 0.33% (Very safe)

Macro Data

Note: During testing, DXY and VIX returned None from Yahoo Finance API. This might be due to:

• API rate limiting
• Yahoo Finance URL/format changes
• Network restrictions

Graceful Handling: Module falls back to neutral score (0.50) when data unavailable. Real Yields and Fed Funds require optional FRED API key.

🐛 Known Issues & Notes

1. Unicode Encoding

   • Windows console (cp1252) can't display emoji characters
   • Solution: Use [OK] [PASS] [FAIL] instead of ✓ ✅ ❌
   • Affects: Test output and macro context summary printing

2. Yahoo Finance API

   • DXY and VIX fetching returned None during testing
   • Possible API changes or rate limits
   • Module handles gracefully with fallback to neutral score
   • Consider alternative: Alpha Vantage, FRED, or paid provider

3. FRED API Key

   • Real Yields and Fed Funds require free FRED API key
   • Get at: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/docs/api/api_key.html
   • Without key: Returns None, macro score uses only DXY + VIX

📊 Expected Benefits

Phase 8: Risk Metrics

Use Cases:

• Monitor strategy health with Sharpe/Sortino ratios
• Identify excessive risk-taking (high VaR)
• Track drawdown recovery periods
• Compare performance across different periods

Decision Support:

• Sharpe < 1.0 → Strategy needs improvement
• Max Drawdown > 20% → Risk too high, reduce size
• Win Rate < 45% → Need higher win/loss ratio
• Profit Factor < 1.5 → Barely profitable

Phase 9: Macro Data

Use Cases:

• Filter trades based on macro environment
• Adjust position sizing dynamically
• Avoid aggressive longs when DXY surging
• Increase exposure during risk-off (high VIX)

Decision Support:

• Macro Score < 0.3 → Bearish for gold, reduce longs
• Macro Score > 0.7 → Bullish for gold, favor longs
• DXY > 108 → Strong headwind, cautious
• VIX > 30 → Risk-off, gold safe haven
