| 132 | +## 🔧 Critical Fixes Applied |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +### PR #13: Timeout & Stability Improvements |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +#### 1. **API Timeout Protection** |
| 137 | +**Problem:** API calls could hang indefinitely, freezing entire agent system |
| 138 | +**Solution:** Added 10-second timeout to all API clients |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +**Applied to Binance:** |
| 141 | +```python |
| 142 | +client = Client(BINANCE_API_KEY, BINANCE_SECRET_KEY) |
| 143 | +client.REQUEST_TIMEOUT = 10 # Prevents API hangs |
| 144 | +``` |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +**Recommendation for MT5:** |
| 147 | +```python |
| 148 | +# In MT5Connection.initialize() |
| 149 | +import signal |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +def timeout_handler(signum, frame): |
| 152 | + raise TimeoutError("MT5 connection timeout") |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +# Set 10-second timeout for MT5 operations |
| 155 | +signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, timeout_handler) |
| 156 | +signal.alarm(10) |
| 157 | +try: |
| 158 | + mt5.initialize(MT5_PATH) |
| 159 | +finally: |
| 160 | + signal.alarm(0) # Disable alarm |
| 161 | +``` |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +--- |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +#### 2. **Non-Fatal Agent Failures** |
| 166 | +**Problem:** `sys.exit(1)` in agents killed entire orchestrator |
| 167 | +**Solution:** Return `None` instead for graceful degradation |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +**Before:** |
| 170 | +```python |
| 171 | +if not os.path.exists("cookies.json"): |
| 172 | + cprint("❌ No cookies.json found!", "red") |
| 173 | + sys.exit(1) # KILLS ENTIRE ORCHESTRATOR |
| 174 | +``` |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +**After:** |
| 177 | +```python |
| 178 | +if not os.path.exists("cookies.json"): |
| 179 | + cprint("❌ No cookies.json found!", "red") |
| 180 | + return None # Agent fails gracefully, others continue |
| 181 | +``` |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +**Applied to:** |
| 184 | +- ✅ `sentiment_agent.py` - Twitter initialization |
| 185 | +- ✅ `whale_agent.py` - API failures |
| 186 | +- ✅ `funding_agent.py` - Connection errors |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | +**Recommended for:** |
| 189 | +- `mt5_trading_agent.py` - MT5 connection failures |
| 190 | +- `rbi_agent_pp_multi.py` - Backtest errors |
| 191 | +- All agents in `main.py` orchestrator loop |
| 192 | + |
| 193 | +--- |
| 194 | + |
| 195 | +#### 3. **Signal Quality Filtering** |
| 196 | +**Problem:** Low-quality AI signals executed anyway |
| 197 | +**Solution:** 62% minimum confidence threshold |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +**Implementation:** |
| 200 | +```python |
| 201 | +MT5_MIN_CONFIDENCE = 62 # Only execute trades with >62% AI confidence |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +if decision['confidence'] < MT5_MIN_CONFIDENCE: |
| 204 | + cprint(f"⚠️ Signal confidence {decision['confidence']}% below threshold {MT5_MIN_CONFIDENCE}%", "yellow") |
| 205 | + return None # Skip low-confidence trades |
| 206 | +``` |
| 207 | + |
| 208 | +**Benefits:** |
| 209 | +- ✅ Filters out weak signals |
| 210 | +- ✅ Reduces unprofitable trades |
| 211 | +- ✅ Improves overall win rate |
| 212 | +- ✅ Risk management at decision layer |
| 213 | + |
