Charted notes on disaster recovery planning in trading automation: mechanics, waypoints, and the wrecks recorded in production.
Mechanics
The mechanics of disaster recovery planning form one pipeline: raw market data in, computed signal out, decision routed to the order engine.
Waypoints (Configuration)
Parameter choices in disaster recovery planning steer both signal character and operational load. Log every change and the reason behind it.
Wreck Record (Failure Modes)
disaster recovery planning sinks in recognizable ways: silent feed gaps, parameters no longer matching the market, latency spikes at the worst moment.
Navigation Checks (Evaluation)
An honest assessment of disaster recovery planning weighs quantitative metrics beside code quality and the attention it demands in production.
Configuration Reference
# Disaster Recovery Planning tested configuration mode: production timeframe: auto risk_limits: max_drawdown: 15 percent max_position: 3 percent monitoring: alert_threshold: 0.5 report_interval: hourly
Parameter Impact
| Parameter | Effect | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| timeframe | Signal frequency | Higher means fewer but more reliable signals |
| risk_limit | Maximum exposure | Lower means safer but slower returns |
| lookback | Indicator sensitivity | Longer means smoother but lagging |
