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.

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.
