docs(runbook): note the DCA cadence gotcha (signals=0, no preview) - #131
Merged
Conversation
The runbook's step 4 promises an order preview, but a DCA test vehicle only emits a signal on its calendar cadence -- (latest_daily_bar_epoch_day % cadence_days == 0), i.e. Thursdays for the weekly default. Running the agent on any other day prints signals=0 and never reaches the confirm prompt, which reads as a failure. Add a pointer in step 4 and a full 'What can still go wrong' bullet explaining the gate and how to fire it on demand (cadence_days=1, reverted after) vs the market-triggered risk-defined rules.

The go-live runbook's step 4 promises an order preview, but a DCA test vehicle only fires on its calendar cadence —
(latest_daily_bar_epoch_day % cadence_days) == 0, i.e. Thursdays (UTC) for the weekly default. Run the agent on any other day and you getsignals=0with no prompt, which reads as a failure (it isn't).Adds:
signals=0instead of a preview;cadence_days=1, reverted after — a one-rowrulesupdate that places no order), and that the risk-defined rules fire only on real market setups, so DCA on a cadence day is the controllable path for a first live order.Docs-only; verified against
