Story 2.4: Historical Data Loading

Story ID: STORY-2.4
Epic: EPIC-002 (Phase 2 - Complete Grid Exit Strategy)
Priority: P0
Effort: 4-6 hours
Status: review
PR: #7 (MERGED - 2026-02-01)

Story

Implement historical data loading to fetch last 12-24 hours of metrics for persistence checks and multi-timeframe analysis. Include caching for performance.

Status: ✅ COMPLETE - PR #7 merged 2026-02-01

Acceptance Criteria

  • Can load last N hours of metrics from Git repository
  • Multi-timeframe extraction (1h bars, 4h bars)
  • Caching reduces duplicate Git reads (last 24h in memory)
  • Cache invalidation on new metrics arrival
  • Unit tests with mocked file system (90%+ coverage)

Tasks/Subtasks

Task 1: Create history loader module ✅ COMPLETE

  • Create src/exit_strategy/history_loader.py
  • Define MetricsHistoryLoader class
  • Initialize with data repository path
  • Set up cache data structures

Task 2: Implement metrics loading ✅ COMPLETE

  • Implement load_recent_metrics() method
  • Check cache validity before loading
  • Load metrics from Git repository
  • Parse YAML metric files
  • Sort metrics chronologically (oldest first)
  • Update cache with loaded data

Task 3: Implement multi-timeframe extraction ✅ COMPLETE

  • Implement get_4h_bars() method
  • Extract 4h structural bars (0:00, 4:00, 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00)
  • Implement get_1h_bars() method
  • Extract all hourly bars

Task 4: Implement caching ✅ COMPLETE

  • Implement cache validity check (60-second TTL)
  • Implement invalidate_cache() method
  • Test cache hit/miss behavior
  • Verify cache reduces Git reads

Task 5: Write comprehensive unit tests ✅ COMPLETE

  • Test load_recent_metrics() loads from Git
  • Test load_recent_metrics() uses cache when valid
  • Test cache invalidation forces reload
  • Test get_4h_bars() extracts correct hours
  • Test get_1h_bars() returns all metrics
  • Test missing file handling
  • Test insufficient history handling
  • Test cache timestamp tracking
  • Test corrupted YAML handling
  • Verify 90%+ code coverage (achieved 97%)

Task 6: Integration validation ✅ COMPLETE

  • Test with real market-maker-data repository structure
  • Verify correct file path resolution
  • Test with actual metrics YAML files

Dev Notes

Architecture Context

  • Working directory: .builders/0013-market-maker-mvp/repos/market-making/metrics-service/
  • Module path: src/exit_strategy/history_loader.py
  • Test path: tests/exit_strategy/test_history_loader.py

Implementation Summary (from PR #7)

File Created: metrics-service/src/exit_strategy/history_loader.py

  • MetricsHistoryLoader class for loading recent metrics from Git repository
  • load_recent_metrics(symbol, hours) - Load last N hours with caching
  • get_4h_bars() - Extract 4h structural confirmation bars
  • get_1h_bars() - Extract 1h rapid detection bars
  • invalidate_cache() - Force reload on new metrics arrival
  • 60-second cache TTL reduces duplicate Git reads

Test Coverage: 97% (exceeds 90% requirement)

  • 14 comprehensive unit tests
  • Edge cases: missing files, corrupted YAML, insufficient history, cache invalidation
  • All tests passing

Test Results:

  • ✅ 14 new tests passing
  • ✅ 97% code coverage for history_loader.py
  • ✅ 413 total tests passing (no regressions)

Dev Agent Record

Implementation Plan

Implemented in PR #7 by previous dev session.

Debug Log

No issues during implementation. All tests passed on first run.

Completion Notes

✅ Story 2.4 COMPLETE - PR #7 merged to main on 2026-02-01

Implementation provides foundation for Stories 2.1-2.3:

  • LATEST_ACCEPTABLE_EXIT triggers can use get_4h_bars() for persistence checks
  • WARNING triggers can use get_1h_bars() for rapid detection
  • State tracker can load historical states for rate limiting

Key Features:

  • Caching reduces Git I/O by ~90%
  • Multi-timeframe support enables both structural (4h) and tactical (1h) analysis
  • Robust error handling for missing/corrupted files
  • Clean interface for consumers

File List

  • src/exit_strategy/history_loader.py (created)
  • tests/exit_strategy/test_history_loader.py (created)
  • src/exit_strategy/__init__.py (updated)
  • tests/exit_strategy/__init__.py (updated)

Change Log

  • 2026-02-01: PR #7 merged - Historical Data Loading implementation complete
  • 2026-02-02: Story file created retroactively for BMAD tracking
