Purpose

Operate and monitor the trading bot safely: detect stalls, verify LIVE/halting state, validate data freshness, restart cleanly, and produce human-readable health summaries.

Use when

  • Bot shows LIVE but no updates (stale heartbeat/bars)
  • Chart frozen / signals file not updating
  • Need to answer: “Is it running? Is it safe? Why no trades?”

Inputs

  • dist/out/live_heartbeat_*.json
  • dist/out/live_signals_*.csv
  • dist/out/live_trades_*.csv (if present)
  • UI endpoints: /api/trading/*

Outputs

  • One-paragraph health summary
  • If unhealthy: one action (restart/clear stale) + verification
  • Audit log entry

Safety rails

  • Never raise risk_pct automatically.
  • Prefer restart/self-heal over loosening risk.

Checklist

  1. Confirm UI server reachable /api/status.
  2. Read heartbeat: mode/status/halted/in_position/last_bar_ts.
  3. Freshness: _hb_age_s, _bar_age_s.
  4. Confirm signals file mtime is recent.
  5. If stale: stop bot PID (runtime or heartbeat pid) → apply+restart.
  6. Re-check last_bar_ts advances.
