A claim's stage time is now taken before the request goes out (sentAt):
Vest dates it no earlier, so a claim answered just after 20:00 ET no longer
puts the fresh Vest day on stage 2 before the history read shows its
WITHDRAW. One Vest dates after the turn reads as the day before until then,
the cautious way round. Claims saved without it count from their answer.
Completions count one per payout on both paths (completionPlace): the
catch-up's stage no longer counts a Vest day's two claims as one, and a
cycle a day's second claim started carries cycleSeq, so it can be told from
that day's first. The master ignores it until it keys on it; old masters and
old instances are unchanged.
bookHistory's claim bookkeeping (WITHDRAWs, lapse, fund rows, the balance
the books check expects) is now the pure readClaims, tested on the case
that held an account for good: a claim that never went in, read an hour on.

A platform may now state its own stop slippage share
(PlatformClient.stopSlippageFraction); the daily-loss reserve is the
larger of 10% of the limit and that share of the position. Vest's 9
measured stop-outs filled 0.9 points past the trigger on average and
2.25 at worst, against the ~30 points 0.1% held back. On a $1,400 day
with ~$495k of NDX the stop goes from ~$880 to ~$1,230, and the leg
sizes up for the same hold. Sizing, the placed stop, the dashboard's
next stop and the reset guard all use it; other platforms keep 0.1%.

On a split day the next Vest leg's daily-loss room now adds the day's gain
still in the account to the bot's limit (floorRoom's `gain`), never past
Vest's own floor, and the leg sizes up for the same target hold (Dingo's
next eval leg: $455k -> $842k at 1.5 h, win 28% -> 56%). Other platforms
are unchanged: dllRoom still never widens on a green day.
The gain only widens a leg all but sure to close before Vest's 8 PM ET
reset (resetClearStop, held to the shortest leg the day may carve), and
none of a hand claim's profit counts. The last-stand margin is measured
against the limit, so a green day can't drop a leg's stop.
Around the reset: no new Vest position opens in the last 7 minutes, and
the guard re-fits every 15 s on fresh positions instead of one pass. An
account's positions share the next-day room (stops first, least at risk
first; locked-in profit counts), a hand-moved stop is fitted again, and a
close or profit-side stop that doesn't take is retried or closed.
The dashboard's next stop now reserves for the leg's notional, as fireLeg
does, so DXtrade labels read smaller (display only).

The daily-loss room on Vest was min(the stage's limit, balance − Vest's
floor), which ignored the day's losses against the bot's own limit. With
the type's $1,229 under Vest's 3% ($1,500), five 50k evals that had
lost $1,111.65 today still saw $388 of room and traded again. The room
is now min(limit + the day's realized loss, balance − floor).

On Vest, a claim lowers the daily-loss floor by the amount claimed. Winning
$1,500 and claiming it leaves $3,000 of room the same day, the full
drawdown. The bot now uses that.
- Payout claims: a scheduler step (runClaims, under the lane mutex, before
the flat gate) claims every payoutable account that reached its stage's
target, via a platform that takes payouts by API. The claim is all
profit above the starting balance. It then clears the account's legs and
entry outcome for the day so it can trade its next stage. Failures retry
after 5 minutes. The auto_claim setting 'off' disables it.
- VestClient.claimProfit: POST /v3/capital/withdraw to the login's main
account (account_type 1 on /v3/accounts). The payout is booked at once:
today's fund row and the cycle cut, with today's P&L counted from the
post-claim balance. The history read later rebooks it from Vest's
WITHDRAW row, and the books check counts a claim until that row shows.
- Same-day stages: an account type can pick its stage by the payouts since
the firm's last daily reset (stagesSameDay, sameDayClaims). A stage can
carry its own daily loss limit.
- That limit replaces the type's everywhere room, stops and last stands are
worked out: the batch, the manual leg, copy trade, the dashboard and the
report.
- Room from the platform's own floor: dailyLossFloor (Vest) makes the room
min(stage limit, balance − Vest's floor). A same-day claim that lowers
the floor therefore frees room, and the room is never more than Vest
allows. VestClient.dayStartBalance is gone.
- Before the 8 PM ET reset: from 7:55 PM ET, each open Vest position on an
account with a daily limit is fitted to the room the reset will leave
(resetSafeStop). Its stop comes in via PUT/POST stop-loss, or the
position closes when there is no room.
- Checks for same-day stages, the stage limit, floorRoom, the post-claim
plan, the next reset across both time changes, and resetSafeStop.

Each lane chose its batch's side on its own coin flip. So one person's
machine could be long NQ in the futures lane while its Vest accounts sat
short NDX, hedging that person against themselves across firms.
- Every new entry now takes the side of whatever the machine holds in any
lane (machineSide in trading-logic). That includes another firm's
positions and hand trades on any of the machine's accounts.
- With positions on both sides already, nothing is added: the batch reports
positions-open with the reason, and a manual leg is refused.
- A side chosen with nothing held is reserved while its batch places it, so
a lane deciding meanwhile follows it.
- It works on the side, not the instrument: NQ against an NDX perp is the
same bet, and the indices and crypto are close enough that one side for
everything is the only rule that never hedges.
- Unchanged: one direction per batch within a lane, and the DXtrade and Vest
clients' own guards against opening opposite another of their accounts.
The fleet still doesn't coordinate sides across people.

Every machine sized a like account in a like state to the same position as
every other person's, so two people's positions could match to the unit.
Each person now draws a size factor in [0.85, 1.15] per trade date, seeded
by the master's uuid for them; all of one person's accounts share it.
The factor moves the hold a DXtrade leg is sized for (hold / factor², since
size goes as 1/√hold), so the instrument pick, the dashboard's next leg and
the Firms page's reach test all see the hold the size was made for.

When the master changes an account type with "New accounts only", it now
serves the type's old rules as kept rule sets (firm.keptAccountRules), each
for accounts dated inside [openedAt, closedAt). This build applies them:
- getAccountConfig, the one rules lookup trading reads, puts a kept set's
rule fields over the live type when the account's rules date falls in
its window. Id, label, prefix, size and the projection fields stay the
live type's, so every report still names the live type.
- account_assignments gains rules_date and rules_date_manual. A new row is
dated when the machine first sees the account, on the master's clock
when this one runs behind and never before the catalog's last change.
Auto dates come down to the broker's evidence: the end of the first fund
day in Chicago, or a DXtrade registration instant. Evidence is applied
before an account's first trade. Rows from before the migration get its
time; unpinning keeps the row and its date. Backups carry both columns.
- An account on a kept set stays on its type while its prefix and cached
size still match, so a tie-break flip can't move it off its old rules.
- Kept entries parse through the same normalizer as live types (now
normalizeAccountType in lib/kept-rules.ts); a malformed one rejects the
sync like a malformed type. The cached catalog records the parser that
stored it, and a cache from an older parser is fetched in full rather
than trusted with ?since= (this also brings in maxConcurrentAccounts).
- Reports add keptRuleIds per firm and live counts per kept set per type.
- The dashboard row and the account page show the rules date next to the
account name, with an "old rules" chip saying what differs. Clicking
the date edits it inline (PUT /api/accounts/:id/rules-date), previewing
which rules the date lands on.
Also: the master's per-firm cap on accounts traded at once
(maxConcurrentAccounts), applied on top of the machine's own max
concurrent when a batch is drawn and in copy trading.

A sync reads the balance first and each account's positions and trades
after it, so a fill landing in between shows in the trades but not yet in
the balance, and for that one pass the books are off by the whole fill.
reconcileFunds booked that as a fund event, and the next pass booked the
reversal. Same-day rows merge, so the two netted to the commission drift
of the day and left a tiny row:
- 2026-10-05, Express 43788281 and 23275136: +3,001.16 "deposit" (balance
-2.16 against the -3,001.16 stop-out already in the trades), then
-3,002.16, merged to -1.00.
- 2026-10-08, combine 99745612: +2,474.01, then -2,492.01, left -18.00.
- 2026-09-24, five 150K combines on another instance: +3,049.45, then
-3,059.45, left -10.00 each.
A negative row is a withdrawal. It started a new cycle, dropped its day
out of the cycle (the -3,003.32 on 10-05) and counted toward the stage:
both Express accounts traded drain days from 10-06 on a $1 "payout".
- fundReconcileStep (trading-logic): an unexplained balance is booked
only when a check at least 30s after the first sighting still sees it,
to within $5. A transient is gone by the next pass and books nothing.
- A transient that outlasts that, and so books, is taken back whole once
its reversal nets the day under FUND_EVENT_MIN. The day's first booking
saves what it replaced (fund_day_before), and dropFundTransaction
deletes the row and puts last_fund_date and ended_cycle_start back in
one transaction. A row reconcileFunds didn't book (an import) merges as
before.
- funds_reconciled is set only once a check settles, so a first-check
lump that waits on a second pass is still booked as the first check.
Existing tiny rows are left as they are; cleaning them up is a separate,
one-time step.

4217.6 − 87 × 0.1 is 4208.900000000001 in floating point. TopstepX refused
that take-profit ("Invalid price. Price is outside allowed range") on two
GC shorts on 2026-10-02, and with no stop on the leg nothing else was
working: both rode far past their target with no exit. ES and NQ never hit
it because 0.25 is exact in binary; GC and CL ticks aren't.
- onTick puts the measured-fee take-profit and every stop on the grid —
the take-profit away from the entry, the stop toward it — so an averaged
multi-contract fill between ticks is handled the same way.
- A leg's lone take-profit (no stop, or the fallback after a refused
bracket) that the broker refuses now flattens the position and benches
the account for the day, like a refused bracket. An unknown outcome still
places nothing more.

The master saw a scheduler's last run time and nothing of what it did. Each
tick now records, per lane, its outcome, a line on what happened (what
fired, or the spread, contract or hold cap that stopped it) and why the
lane's accounts sat it out, counted by reason with a few names each. It
rides the scheduler status as lastTicks.
Each report also carries the auto-updater's state from the files it keeps
and from git: its last check, a failed update waiting to retry, how far the
checkout is behind origin, and tracked files edited by hand, which stop the
fast-forward pull.

Tradovate moves each account's cash record to the new trade date on its own
schedule, an idle one perhaps not until it trades, and the bot holds any
account still on the old day until 5:45. Opening at 5:05 fired the ready
accounts alone (TopstepX, the early rollers) while the rest, released at
5:45, waited an hour or more for them to go flat. A 5:45 open puts every
account in the first batch and skips the open's widest spreads. The day's
0–180 minute delay still comes on top: first entries land 5:45–8:45 PM.
Every-day firms keep their own 5:05 PM end of the roll guard; the equity
hours open is unchanged. The draw's session progress now starts at 5:45.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The day's delay was 1–20 minutes. It is now 0–180, so the evening open
lands anywhere from 5:05 to 8:05 PM CT. The day's roll is saved as a
setting: with a three-hour window, a restart during the wait (an update, a
crash) would otherwise roll again and could start the session early.

fireLeg clamped the order to the instrument's max and min size, but the
size the pick ranked by (and the Firms page shows) didn't: an instrument
whose largest order falls short of the ideal notional ranked on a hold it
can't reach. planLegSize now holds the notional to the margin cap and the
broker's largest order, then its smallest, so the ranking, the stats and
the trade agree.

The firm rolls its day at 22:00 UTC; our trade date at 5 PM CT. In summer
they coincide, in winter the firm's rolls an hour earlier. New entries are
already kept out of that hour, but a take-profit or stop that fills in it
was booked to the day before. firmDayOf labels the firm's day the way
currentTradeDateCT labels ours, and the sync's transfer window now starts
at the firm day behind today's trade date.

The rule is: when hitting the day's loss limit would leave the account 15%
of that loss or less above its max-drawdown floor, ride without a
daily-loss stop. It had compared against the stop-out after the 10%
reserve, which made it stricter — $3,294.70 to the floor with $3,000 of
daily room (9.8% left) wasn't a last stand, and now is.

- A batch sizes its leg on every mapped candidate, each at the leverage
the broker states for it, and trades the cheapest (spread, commissions,
expected swap) that reaches the target hold — else the quickest. The
dashboard ranks the same way from a half-hourly candidate survey.
- Last stand: when a daily-loss stop-out would leave the account within
15% of that loss above its max-drawdown floor (the account type's static
max loss, or the broker's liquidation floor), the leg carries no
daily-loss stop and is sized against the firm's own breach.
- The daily-loss reserve is 10% of the limit or 0.1% of the position,
whichever is more, since a stop's slippage grows with the position.
- The account type's max notional is gone: the broker's margin rates cap
each symbol. planLegSize holds the one sizing rule fireLeg, the pick and
the dashboard share.

- Transfers: a close books its SETTLEMENT and COMMISSION under one
transaction code, and keying by the code alone let the commission
overwrite the P&L. Keys now carry the type, so the day-start balance,
daily-loss room, realized P&L, daily history and books check all see
closed-trade profit and loss.
- Volatility from a week of hourly closes (was 48 h), still measured once
per trade date, so one quiet weekend can't triple a hold estimate.
- Each symbol's margin rate from the account's instrument details caps
the position at available funds / rate (Tradeify: 5:1 crypto, 2:1
stocks); the account type's max notional stays as an optional ceiling.
- Firms with overnight financing add the swap a winning leg is expected
to pay (the winners' mean hold, (A²+2AB)/3σ²) to its take-profit, and
the sizing and hold estimate count it.

Tradeify247's API user may not read DXtrade market data (code 34), which
skipped every batch at the instrument pick. Quotes and hourly candles then
come from Hyperliquid's public API (BTC, ETH on the main dex; XYZ100, SP500
and tokenized stocks on trade[XYZ]) — for the pick and sizing only; orders,
fills and exit prices stay DXtrade's.
Closing STOP/LIMIT orders close the whole position by positionCode and must
not carry a quantity (code 33) — the exit bracket was refused, and the
daily-loss guard flattened both accounts. A close's fill price also falls
back to its executions.

The symbol map's fixed notional per contract is gone: every DXtrade leg is
sized from the instrument's recent volatility for the firm's target hold
(blank = 12 h), and a candidate without a volatility isn't picked. Percent
commission and every-day trading are ignored on non-DXtrade firms, which keep
measured per-contract fees and the CME calendar.

- DXtrade client (lib/dxtrade-class.ts): REST session login with lockout-safe
backoff, 60s sync of accounts/metrics/positions/orders/transfers, history and
fund transactions from cash transactions, day-start balance at the 22:00 UTC
reset, CLOSE-by-positionCode exits (native OCO group, else a stop-first
emulated pair), a cross-account hedge guard, stray-order reaper.
- Instrument selector: the firm's symbol map lists candidate symbols per CME
root; the cheapest tradable one per unit of recent hourly volatility wins
(spread + 2x commission [+ financing] / sigma).
- Fees: a firm's commission % of notional prices every fee off the fill; the
take-profit is solved in closed form so the leg nets its target.
- Hard daily loss limit per account type: every leg carries a stop keeping the
firm's day inside the limit less a 10% reserve and both fees (rounded in);
a green day never widens it; no room or a refused bracket flattens.
- Notional sizing where the platform prices positions: target-hold volatility
sizing or the symbol map's fixed notional, under a per-type notional cap.
- Every-day firms trade weekends/holidays; the scheduler runs lanes (futures,
one per DXtrade firm) with their own hours, flat gate, mutex and batches.
- The catalog sync skips platforms this build doesn't know instead of treating
them as Tradovate. One shared fireLeg replaces the duplicated batch/copy code.
- npm run check: fee/stop/sizing/hours/selector checks; scripts/dxtrade-smoke.mjs
confirms the API against a real login before trading.
