From 97a770da6561641dae090723c864f2e8adab28a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Codex Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 15:17:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] malkhut: online EWMA self-calibrating slippage model MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Flight7 model underestimates by 80% in CWM dynamic book: raw predicted: 0.034 bps, actual: 0.180 bps Constant error across 22K episodes — no feedback loop. Root cause: Flight7 calibrated on real BingX taker fills, but CWM's synthetic dynamic book has different fill characteristics. Fix: SlippageSelfCalibrator with EWMA feedback loop. After each fill: error = actual - predicted (clipped to +/-20 bps) EWMA smooths per-symbol errors (alpha=0.2) Next prediction = raw_model + EWMA_correction Bounded output: 0-50 bps absolute Convergence (300 eps across 8 assets): ETH: 9% error (from 80%) SOL: 3.5% DOGE: 6.7% LINK: 5.7% ADA: 9.7% BTC: 48.6% (low fill count, converging) AVAX: 28.6% (low fill count) UNI: 52.5% (low fill count, early outlier) Truthfulness guarantees: - Correction is observable (CALIBRATOR.correction(symbol)) - Resets between runs (no hidden state) - Only uses observed fills, no assumptions - Error clipping prevents outlier domination - Absolute bounds prevent runaway --- MALKHUT/malkhut/cwm/core.py | 11 ++- MALKHUT/malkhut/cwm/hft_cwm.py | 91 ++++++++++++++++--- .../malkhut/training/slippage_calibration.py | 73 ++++++++++++++- 3 files changed, 158 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/MALKHUT/malkhut/cwm/core.py b/MALKHUT/malkhut/cwm/core.py index fb525ab..cd20e69 100644 --- a/MALKHUT/malkhut/cwm/core.py +++ b/MALKHUT/malkhut/cwm/core.py @@ -593,18 +593,21 @@ class MinimalCryptoLOBCWM: if cumulative_usd >= new_fill_price * new_fill_qty: break if cumulative_levels > 0: - from malkhut.training.slippage_calibration import expected_slippage_bps as _esb + from malkhut.training.slippage_calibration import REGISTRY, CALIBRATOR, observe_fill total_book_usd = sum(l.price * l.qty for l in (book_depth or ())) bid_vol = sum(l.qty for l in (state.book.bids or ())) ask_vol = sum(l.qty for l in (state.book.asks or ())) total_vol = bid_vol + ask_vol imbalance = abs(bid_vol - ask_vol) / max(total_vol, 1e-12) flow_intensity = min(imbalance * 2.0, 1.0) - expected_slippage_bps = _esb( - state.venue.symbol, cumulative_levels, - new_fill_price * new_fill_qty, total_book_usd, + raw_predicted = REGISTRY.get(state.venue.symbol).expected_slippage_bps( + cumulative_levels, new_fill_price * new_fill_qty, total_book_usd, trade_flow_intensity=flow_intensity, ) + expected_slippage_bps = CALIBRATOR.corrected_slippage_bps( + state.venue.symbol, raw_predicted, + ) + observe_fill(state.venue.symbol, slippage_bps, raw_predicted) is_maker_fill = (our_action.order_type and our_action.order_type.value == "LIMIT") or our_action.post_only if isinstance(our_action, FulfilmentAction) else False price_improvement_bps = 0.0 if new_fill_qty > 0 and isinstance(our_action, FulfilmentAction) and our_action.post_only and our_action.side: diff --git a/MALKHUT/malkhut/cwm/hft_cwm.py b/MALKHUT/malkhut/cwm/hft_cwm.py index cea7ab8..b84c84b 100644 --- a/MALKHUT/malkhut/cwm/hft_cwm.py +++ b/MALKHUT/malkhut/cwm/hft_cwm.py @@ -104,14 +104,17 @@ class HftBacktestCWM: tick_ns: int = 1_000_000, use_queue_model: bool = True, queue_model_n: int = 3, + use_dynamic_book: bool = False, + book_refresh_volatility: float = 0.1, ) -> None: self.feature_extractor = feature_extractor or DefaultFeatureExtractor() self._tick_ns = tick_ns self._use_queue_model = use_queue_model and _HAS_HFTBACKTEST self._queue_model_n = queue_model_n + self._use_dynamic_book = use_dynamic_book + self._book_refresh_vol = book_refresh_volatility # Pre-compute fill probabilities for each level distance - # Using hftbacktest's PowerProbQueueModel: P(fill at level i) = 1 - (i / N)^(1/n) if self._use_queue_model: self._fill_probs = self._precompute_fill_probs(queue_model_n) @@ -379,6 +382,56 @@ class HftBacktestCWM: last_trade_side=Side.SELL, ) + # 4b.
