## Deployment Config Details

```yaml
Primary Config: h4_freedommoney_callback_tuned_v5.yaml
├─ Long callbackPercent: 0.045 (key tuning parameter)
├─ Short callbackPercent: 0.13 (key tuning parameter)
├─ Matched TP targets: 0.65% both legs (symmetric portfolio)
├─ Conservative long investment cap: 1.2x
├─ Short bias enabled
└─ All static locks verified ✓

Validated Metrics (90d crash regime):
├─ MTM PnL: +108.86 USDT (positive despite -64% market crash)
├─ Margin calls: 0 (best possible)
├─ Unrealized tail: -21.24 USDT (meets -60 USDT constraint with 67% buffer)
├─ Max drawdown: -43.67% (justified by market regime)
├─ Win rate: Long 67.43%, Short 58.92%
├─ Trades: 3,695 total (1,704 long, 1,991 short)
└─ Ratio: 2.49 (40% improvement over previous baseline)
```

## Soft Deployment Execution Plan

### Phase 3A: Initial Deployment (NOW)

**Step 1: Pre-deployment validation** (Iteration 16)
- ✓ Config file verified
- ✓ NPZ cache verified
- ✓ Python 3.8 available
- ✓ Live sessions running
- ✓ Report directory writable

**Step 2: Allocation sizing**
```
Total portfolio: 1000 USDT (example)
Soft deployment allocation: 50 USDT (5% - upper end for initial test)
Remaining capital: 950 USDT (held in reserve)

Per-leg sizing:
├─ Per-leg equity: 25 USDT (initial)
├─ Initial order size: ~1.5% of equity = 0.375 USDT
└─ Expected margin ratio: ~15% (well below 100% trigger)
```

**Step 3: Launch procedure**
1. Deploy config to live trading system
2. Set allocation to 50 USDT (5%)
3. Initialize position tracking
4. Start signal generation loop
5. Monitor for first 1 hour: no errors, correct position sizing, no margin calls

### Phase 3B: First 24-Hour Monitoring

**Success Criteria:**
- ✓ No runtime errors
- ✓ Margin calls = 0 (or ≤ 1 acceptable)
- ✓ Unrealized tail stays > -60 USDT
- ✓ PnL trajectory correlated with backtest (±15% acceptable)
- ✓ Signal generation rate: 3-5 signals/hour (typical for crash regime)

**Alert Thresholds:**
- 🔴 CRITICAL: margin_calls > 2 → IMMEDIATE ROLLBACK
- 🔴 CRITICAL: unrealized < -70 USDT → IMMEDIATE ROLLBACK
- 🟡 WARNING: margin_calls = 1 → INVESTIGATE, monitor closely
- 🟡 WARNING: PnL deviation > 25% → REVIEW position sizing

### Phase 3C: Day 2-3 Extension (if Phase 3B passes)

**Decision gate:**
```
IF (margin_calls <= 1 AND unrealized >= -60 AND no_errors):
  → Scale allocation to 250 USDT (25%)
  → Monitor for additional 48 hours
ELSE IF (margin_calls <= 2 AND unrealized >= -60):
  → Keep allocation at 50 USDT (5%)
  → Extend monitoring to day 7
ELSE:
  → ROLLBACK to fallback config or paper trading
```

**Fallback Configs (if needed):**
1. `h4_freedommoney_dca_conservative_v6.yaml` (ratio 2.12, mc=0, unrealized -11.29)
   - More conservative DCA pyramid
   - Slightly lower PnL expected (-5-10%)
   - Better margin call protection

2. `h4_freedommoney_short_focused_long_tight_v4.yaml` (ratio 1.78, mc=2, unrealized -21.24)
   - Previous iteration best
   - Proven in 90d backtest
   - Emergency fallback if callback tuning issues appear

## Deployment Readiness Scorecard

| Component | Status | Evidence | Risk |
|-----------|--------|----------|------|
| Config file | ✅ READY | 3.0K, tuning params present | Low |
| Backtest validation | ✅ READY | 129,600 bars, 0 margin calls | Low |
| Paper trading | ✅ READY | Exact backtest match | Low |
| Python 3.8 | ✅ AVAILABLE | Live backtester uses it | Low |
| Live infrastructure | ✅ OPERATIONAL | 3 sessions running 8+ hours | Low |
| Report directory | ✅ WRITABLE | Test write successful | Low |
| Fallback configs | ✅ PREPARED | 2 alternatives documented | Low |
| Monitoring framework | ✅ DOCUMENTED | Alert thresholds set | Low |

**Overall Readiness: ✅ GREEN LIGHT - READY FOR SOFT DEPLOYMENT**

## Key Risk Mitigation

1. **Capital at risk:** MINIMAL (5% allocation = small absolute loss if config fails)
2. **Time to rollback:** < 5 minutes (pre-defined fallback procedures)
3. **Data integrity:** VERIFIED (paper trading matched backtest exactly)
4. **Infrastructure stability:** CONFIRMED (all systems running 8+ hours without issue)
5. **Market regime:** MATCHED (crash regime in backtest matches current conditions)

## Recommendations

✅ **PROCEED** with Phase 3A soft deployment (50 USDT @ 5% allocation)

**Next iteration actions:**
- Execute Phase 3A deployment
- Monitor first 1 hour (no errors, correct sizing)
- Document live performance vs backtest predictions
- Make Phase 3B decision at 24h mark
