The CSI 300 snapshot history is local data like the S&P 500 history. It is
not rebuilt automatically (seeded from baostock), so a new machine needs a
copy; CLAUDE.md says so.

- Stop tracking data/sp500_history.json (rebuilt daily from Wikipedia by
universe_history.load_sp500_history) and ignore data/books/ (per-machine
live book state, like data/trader_*.json).
- research/lab/momentum_fundamentals.py: financial-statement vetoes and
confirmations on overnight_recovery_top10 (2011-16 design, 2017-26
holdout). No return gain; re-sorting the momentum top 30 by fundamental
momentum lowers MaxDD at equal return.

Register us_momentum_qqq_trend: half overnight_recovery_top10, half a QQQ
trend sleeve (strategies/qqq_trend.py: 200-day switch times a 30% vol target,
held as TQQQ + SHY). Mixed stock+ETF, US only (extra tickers QQQ, SHY, TQQQ).
Research (research/lab/): alpha against QQQ with a 2006-16 design / 2017-26
holdout split (alpha.py, qqq_scan.py, beat_qqq.py); leverage and drawdown
frontier (levered_book.py, us_target50.py); synthetic 3x ETFs from 1990 and
TrendRider/QQQ-trend stress tests (fetch_long_history.py, letf_history.py,
vol_trend.py); short-horizon sleeves, diversifiers, industry momentum,
earnings-announcement returns; new point-in-time data sources: SEC Form 4
insider trades (fetch_insider.py, insider.py), 10-K/10-Q text similarity,
8-K earnings dates and SIC codes (fetch_lazy_prices.py, lazy_prices.py), and
an S&P 400/600 universe from iShares holdings (fetch_us_mid.py, panel_mid.py).

Register two live strategies from the 2026-09-29 US research:
- lowrisk_top20: idiosyncratic vol + low beta, top 20, monthly, buffer 2
(new `low_risk` signal in strategies/robust_momentum.py)
- us_three_sleeve: 1/3 each of overnight_recovery_top10, lowrisk_top20 and
trend_rider_v7_vt24 in one account (strategies/sleeve_portfolio.py, a
mixed stock+ETF strategy). Sleeve shares drift with their returns and reset
at a month start once any is >25% off its share.
Research (research/lab, S&P 500 PIT, next-open fills):
- rotation.py / persistence.py: walk-forward factor weighting (factor
momentum, rolling IC, market state) and last-year's-winner selection do not
beat a fixed composite
- us_sweep.py: holdings count, z/vol weights, dynamic N, tranching and market
overlays (Faber SMA, de-risk vol target, statistical jump model,
momentum state); engine.py gains zvol weighting and dyn_n
- fetch_us_fundamentals.py / fundamentals.py / fund_eval.py: SEC EDGAR
point-in-time fundamentals (first-filed values) and factor tests
- trend_rider_long.py / us_final.py: 2010-2026 TrendRider curves and the
3-sleeve check (2011-2026 Sharpe 1.21, CAGR 21.9%, MaxDD -23%)
Web-UI engine, 2017-09..2026-09, $2/order: us_three_sleeve CAGR 28.9%,
Sharpe 1.49, MaxDD -24.8%.

Adds five trend_rider ETF strategies (best 10-year Sharpe of each version,
plus v7_vt36): 31 strategies in all. Fees per order are $2 and ¥10, and CN
accounts start with ¥100,000. No trade has been executed yet (US accounts
hold only this morning's orders; CN starts 2026-09-28).

A live book is a cohort of strategies, each with its own account, started
on one date with one capital and a flat fee per order (trader.LIVE_BOOKS).
The original book keeps its state in data/; a named book in
data/books/<book>/. The monitor runs every book; auto/status/log/compare/
replay take --book. A fresh account opens on the book's first session.
selected_2026_09: US $10,000 and $1 per order from 2026-09-25, CN ¥50,000
and ¥5 per order from 2026-09-28 (the first CN session after the choice).
Strategies beat their benchmark in the Apr-Sep 2026 point-in-time replay
and passed a 10-year PIT backtest (US Sharpe >= 0.6, MaxDD > -50%; CN
Sharpe >= 0.2, CAGR > 0), no daily variants, at most two frequencies per
factor signal, plus the three 2026-09 research strategies.
bridge.py live --book and bridge.py books feed a book selector on the
live page (/api/strategies/live?book=, /api/strategies/live/books).

Strategies
- BarStrategy protocol (close/open/high/low/volume bars; row d uses bars
through d-1) and RobustMomentumStrategy: overnight_recovery_top10 (US),
lowrisk_momentum_top15 and lowbeta_sharpe_mom_top20 (CN), top-N with
rank hysteresis, 10-day rebalance, weights drift between rebalances.
- trader: strategy_fields/strategy_bars/bar_session_weights; one signal
path (_signals_for_sessions) replaces generate_target_weights.
Live fixes
- CSI 300 constituents come from China Securities Index's file; the
Wikipedia table was 122 names off the real index.
- S&P 500 change log moved to "Historical components of the S&P 500".
- data_manager: tickers missing from a partial Yahoo batch are retried
alone before being marked unavailable (CEG, GEV, SNDK ... were dropped).
update() takes fields=[...] and stores high/low/volume panels.
- Whole-lot orders go to the nearest lot within cash (CN books held ~62%
cash); held names are resized only beyond RESIZE_BAND (10%), so books no
longer pay a ticket fee to trade daily drift.
Web backtests
- backtest_runner.py replaces the duplicated bridge/precompute code: PIT
membership in both markets (data/csi300_history.json), stock universe
limited to index members (ETFs and benchmarks in the shared panel were
pickable), and the book kept like the live trader (simulate_live_book:
signal timing, drift, order floor, resize band, fees on orders placed).

The three services become quant-trading-monitor, quant-trading-api and
quant-trading-vite, run from /home/gahow/projects/quant-trading. Their
units were previously untracked files in ~/.config/systemd/user.

New FactorComboStrategy class (strategies/factor_combo.py) implements
8 champion factor signals (4 US, 4 CN) discovered through iterative
factor research, each at 4 rebalancing frequencies (daily/weekly/
biweekly/monthly). Registered in trader.py as fc_{signal}_{freq}.
Existing strategies and state files are untouched — safe to git pull
and restart monitor on server.
Also includes factor research scripts (factor_loop.py, factor_research.py,
etc.) used to discover and validate these factors.

- `trader.py monitor` now handles all markets in one process
(US 9:45/16:35 ET, CN 9:45/15:35 CST) with unified UTC event loop
- Events from different markets/timezones are merged; sleeps until
the globally next event across all markets
- Overlapping events (e.g. US evening + CN morning) fire together
- `trader.py compare` defaults to US, use --market cn for A-shares
- One tmux session handles everything: just `uv run python trader.py monitor`

- Monitor now runs morning (9:45 → signals) and evening (4:35 → execute)
instead of single daily run; falls back to auto if morning missed
- Add --integer-shares flag for whole-share-only trading (no fractional)
- Add daily_log to state: each day records holdings, cash, and operations
- Add 'log' subcommand to view daily snapshots with date range filter
- record_daily_snapshot() called from both simulate and auto commands
