Nija

NIJA - Autonomous Algorithmic Trading Platform

📋 Version 7.2.0

CRITICAL SAFETY GUARANTEE
Tier-based capital protection is enforced in all environments and cannot be bypassed.

⚠️ Breaking Changes in v7.2.0: NIJA now supports independent trading only. The copy-trading system has been removed. See CHANGELOG.md for migration details. 📋 Version 7.2.0 — See CHANGELOG.md for breaking changes

🎯 NEW: Institutional Validation Framework (February 2026)

Prove Edge Before Scaling Capital

Real funds build in this order:

  1. Alpha Discovery ✅
  2. Statistical Validation ✅ (Sharpe ≥ 1.0 after costs)
  3. Regime Testing ✅ (Works in bull/bear/sideways)
  4. Monte Carlo Stress ✅ (Survives adverse scenarios)
  5. Then capital scaling (already built)
  6. Then risk throttles (already built)

NIJA now includes the missing validation framework (steps 1-4) that must be proven BEFORE activating capital scaling.

Quick Start

# Validate strategy edge before deployment
python prove_edge.py --simulate --num-trades 500

# Validate with real trade history
python prove_edge.py --trades trade_history.csv --report validation.html

# If all 4 steps pass → Ready to activate capital scaling
# If any step fails → Fix strategy first

Philosophy

If Sharpe < 1 after realistic costs, you don’t scale.

This framework prevents deploying capital to unproven strategies.

🛡️ Safe Trading Recovery (February 2026)

Safely restore trading after emergency stops without risking capital

After an emergency stop or system restart, use the safe recovery tool to restore trading operations in a controlled, zero-risk manner.

Quick Start

# 1. Check current trading state
python safe_restore_trading.py status

# 2. Restore to safe DRY_RUN mode (simulation only, no capital risk)
python safe_restore_trading.py restore

# 3. Test bot behavior in DRY_RUN mode, then manually enable LIVE when ready

Key Safety Features

When to Use

Commands

Command Purpose Safety Level
status Check trading state and detect issues Read-only ✅
restore Restore to DRY_RUN (simulation) mode Safe - No capital risk ✅
reset Reset to OFF (disable all trading) Safe - Stops all trading ✅

Documentation

📚 SAFE_RECOVERY_GUIDE.md - Complete recovery guide with:

Important: This tool never enables LIVE trading automatically. Manual activation via UI/API is always required.

🎯 NEW: NIJA Control Center (February 7, 2026)

Your Unified Operational Command Center

🔍 Live Balance Audit (Execution Hardening Verification)

Verify NIJA is production-ready with real API connections

NIJA includes a live balance audit tool that determines whether the system is:

Quick Run

python3 live_balance_audit.py

What It Checks

  1. ✅ Environment Variables - Are Kraken API credentials configured?
  2. ✅ API Connection - Can we connect to the exchange?
  3. ✅ Balance Access - Can we fetch live account balance?
  4. ✅ API Capabilities - Can we read market data and place orders?

Possible Verdicts

Why This Matters

CONFIG-HARDENED ❌

EXECUTION-HARDENED ✅

Documentation

Remember: Only execution-hardening matters in trading. Config-hardening is just theory.

🚀 Go Live: DRY_RUN → LIVE Mode Transition (February 17, 2026)

Safely transition from simulation to live trading with automated validation

NIJA includes a comprehensive go-live system that validates all requirements before enabling real-money trading.

Quick Start

# Step 1: Check current status
python go_live.py --status

# Step 2: Run all pre-flight checks
python go_live.py --check

# Step 3: Activate live mode (after checks pass)
python go_live.py --activate

# Step 4: Start trading
./start.sh

What Gets Validated

The go_live.py script performs 10 critical checks:

  1. ✅ DRY_RUN_MODE - Disabled (not in simulation)
  2. ✅ LIVE_CAPITAL_VERIFIED - Enabled (safety lock released)
  3. ✅ Broker Health - All brokers green (no failures)
  4. ✅ Adoption Failures - None detected
  5. ✅ Trading Threads - No halted threads
  6. ✅ Capital Safety - Thresholds satisfied (20% buffer)
  7. ✅ Multi-Account Isolation - System operational
  8. ✅ Recovery Mechanisms - Circuit breakers configured
  9. ✅ API Credentials - Configured and valid
  10. ✅ Emergency Stops - None active

Observability Dashboard Integration

Monitor system health in real-time:

# Open production observability dashboard
open NIJA_PRODUCTION_OBSERVABILITY_DASHBOARD.html

# Shows broker health, adoption failures, halted threads
# Auto-refreshes every 5 seconds
# Failed states shown in RED immediately

Safety Features

Documentation

📚 Complete Guide: See GO_LIVE_GUIDE.md for:

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always test in DRY_RUN mode first. Start with small capital. Monitor actively.

📱 App Store Mode (iOS/Android Submission)

For App Store and Google Play reviewers

NIJA includes a special APP_STORE_MODE for safe app store submissions:

What is APP_STORE_MODE?

When APP_STORE_MODE=true:

For App Reviewers

# Configuration for review
export APP_STORE_MODE=true

# Run verification tests
python qa_app_store_mode.py --full

Expected Result: All 19 tests pass, confirming no real trading is possible during review.

💰 CAPITAL CAPACITY CALCULATORS

Know exactly how much capital you can deploy and your maximum position size for any account.

NIJA includes powerful calculators that analyze your total equity (cash + positions) to determine:

Calculate for Single Account

# Account with $10,000 balance and $2,000 in open positions
python calculate_capital_capacity.py --balance 10000 --positions 2000

# Small account with no positions
python calculate_capital_capacity.py --balance 500

# Custom reserve (15%) and max position (20%)
python calculate_capital_capacity.py --balance 10000 --positions 2000 --reserve-pct 15 --max-position-pct 20

Calculate for ALL Accounts (Master + Users)

# Display all accounts from portfolio manager
python calculate_all_accounts_capital.py

# Run with simulated example accounts
python calculate_all_accounts_capital.py --simulate

🔄 INDEPENDENT TRADING - All Accounts Trade Using Same Logic

✅ All accounts trade independently using the same NIJA strategy!

NIJA uses an independent trading model where each account (platform + users) trades independently using the same trading logic, parameters, and risk rules:

Quick Start:

  1. Copy any .env template (e.g., .env.example or .env.small_account_preset)
  2. Add your API credentials for platform and user accounts
  3. Start the bot - all accounts trade independently!

Optional Settings (Small Accounts $15-$50):

# These are optional - independent trading works with defaults
PRO_MODE=true                    # Faster entries, smaller targets
MINIMUM_TRADING_BALANCE=15.0     # Lower minimum balance (default: 25.0)
MIN_CASH_TO_BUY=5.0              # Lower minimum order (default: 5.50)

Configuration:

# Independent trading mode (default)
TRADING_MODE=independent

🚫 Geographic Restriction Handling (January 28, 2026)

NIJA now automatically detects and blocks geographically restricted assets.

The Problem

Some cryptocurrencies are restricted in certain regions (e.g., KMNO trading restricted in Washington state). Previously, NIJA would repeatedly attempt to trade these restricted assets, wasting opportunities and preventing successful trades on available symbols.

The Solution

NIJA now automatically:

How It Works

  1. When a trade is rejected due to geographic restrictions, NIJA detects the error pattern
  2. The symbol is automatically added to bot/restricted_symbols.json
  3. On next startup, the blacklist is loaded and merged with disabled pairs
  4. The bot will never attempt to trade that symbol again

Example Logs

🚫 GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTION DETECTED
   Symbol: KMNO-USD
   Error: EAccount:Invalid permissions:KMNO trading restricted for US:WA
   Adding to permanent blacklist to prevent future attempts
🚫 Added to restriction blacklist: KMNO-USD
💾 Saved restriction blacklist (2 symbols)

Learn More: GEOGRAPHIC_RESTRICTION_HANDLING.md

⚙️ Platform Account Configuration - Recommended

💡 Recommended for optimal operation: Configure Platform Kraken credentials for best results.

Configuring Platform account provides:

Platform is an independent trader - it trades alongside users using the same NIJA logic (not as a master/controller).

# Add to .env or deployment platform
KRAKEN_PLATFORM_API_KEY=your-api-key
KRAKEN_PLATFORM_API_SECRET=your-api-secret

# Verify configuration (recommended)
python3 check_platform_credentials.py

🔍 Three-Layer Visibility System

NIJA provides complete transparency with three complementary visibility layers - see exactly what the bot is doing, why it’s doing it, and verify execution:

Layer 1: Kraken Trade History (Execution Proof) 🏦

Layer 2: NIJA Activity Feed (Decision Truth) 🤖

Layer 3: Live Position Mirror (Real-Time Positions) ⚡

Why Three Layers?

Learn More:

Quick Example - Activity Feed Events:

✅ EXECUTED: BUY 0.05 ETH/USD @ $3,250 on kraken
❌ Signal REJECTED: LONG BTC/USDT - fees too high (2.1% of position)
🚫 FILTER BLOCK: SOL/USD - below tier minimum ($12.50 < $15.00)
🔀 STABLECOIN ROUTED: ETH/USDT - coinbase → kraken (lower fees)
📈 POSITION CLOSED: ETH/USD - Take Profit 1 hit (P&L: +$23.50)

Stablecoin Routing Policy: Configure how NIJA handles USDT/USDC trades in .env:

# Route all stablecoin trades to Kraken (recommended - saves fees)
STABLECOIN_POLICY=route_to_kraken

# Block all stablecoin trades
STABLECOIN_POLICY=block_all

# Allow stablecoin trades on any broker
STABLECOIN_POLICY=allow_all

Tier-Based Visibility:

Trades below tier minimums are still executed but marked for easier filtering.

💰 User Balance Snapshot - Success Checkpoint

Every time NIJA starts, you’ll see a complete balance snapshot after the 45-second startup delay. This provides absolute visual certainty of all account balances before trading begins.

What You’ll See

After the bot completes its startup sequence and broker connections, look for this log block:

======================================================================
💰 USER BALANCE SNAPSHOT
======================================================================
   • Master: $X,XXX.XX
      - COINBASE: $XXX.XX
      - KRAKEN: $XXX.XX
   • Daivon: $XXX.XX
      - KRAKEN: $XXX.XX
   • Tania (Kraken): $XXX.XX
   • Tania (Alpaca): $XXX.XX

   🏦 TOTAL CAPITAL UNDER MANAGEMENT: $X,XXX.XX
======================================================================

How to Use This Checkpoint

This balance snapshot represents a verified success point in the startup sequence:

  1. ✅ All broker connections established - Master and user accounts connected
  2. ✅ Balances confirmed - Live capital verified from exchange APIs
  3. ✅ Ready to trade - System is fully initialized and operational

Trading Readiness

🔧 BOT IMPROVEMENTS - DECEMBER 22, 2025

Summary of Recent Enhancements

All three critical fixes are now in place for maximum capital protection:

Fix Issue Solved Implementation Status
Circuit Breaker v2 Bot unlocks when user liquidates crypto Checks total account value (USD + crypto) ✅ DEPLOYED
Auto-Rebalance Removal Losing money to fees during rebalance Disabled auto-liquidation, user manual control ✅ DEPLOYED
Decimal Precision INVALID_SIZE_PRECISION errors on sales Per-crypto formatting (BTC=8, ETH=6, XRP=2, etc.) ✅ DEPLOYED

Testing & Validation

Bot has been validated for 100% functionality:

Circuit Breaker Enhancement Explained

Before (December 21): Circuit breaker only checked USD cash balance

if live_balance < MINIMUM_TRADING_BALANCE:
    # HALT TRADING

Problem: User could manually liquidate crypto, reduce cash, and meet threshold to restart trading

After (December 22): Circuit breaker checks total account value

balance_info = self.broker.get_account_balance()
crypto_holdings = balance_info.get('crypto', {})
# Calculate crypto value...
total_account_value = live_balance + total_crypto_value
if total_account_value < MINIMUM_TRADING_BALANCE:
    # HALT TRADING

Result: Bot recognizes total portfolio value, not just available cash

🚀 MULTI-EXCHANGE SUPPORT

Kraken Features:

🎯 Multi-Exchange Trading Strategy

Why Trade on Multiple Exchanges?

  1. Fee Optimization: Use OKX (0.08%) or Binance (0.1%) instead of Coinbase (1.4%)
  2. Micro Futures Access: OKX and Binance support micro perpetual contracts
    • Trade BTC with $100-200 instead of $10,000+
    • Enables leverage and short-selling for small accounts
  3. Arbitrage Opportunities: Price differences between exchanges
  4. Liquidity: Access more trading pairs and deeper order books
  5. Risk Diversification: Don’t keep all funds on one exchange

How to Enable Multiple Exchanges:

Uncomment broker initialization in bot/apex_live_trading.py:

# Initialize broker manager
broker_manager = BrokerManager()

# Add Coinbase (optional)
coinbase = CoinbaseBroker()
if coinbase.connect():
    broker_manager.add_broker(coinbase)

# Add Binance (recommended for lower fees)
binance = BinanceBroker()
if binance.connect():
    broker_manager.add_broker(binance)

# Add Kraken Pro
kraken = KrakenBroker()
if kraken.connect():
    broker_manager.add_broker(kraken)

# Add OKX
okx = OKXBroker()
if okx.connect():
    broker_manager.add_broker(okx)

The bot will automatically route orders to the appropriate exchange based on the symbol.

📦 BINANCE FORK STARTER (DEPRECATED - NOW BUILT-IN!)

Note: This section is now deprecated. Binance is fully integrated into NIJA as of December 30, 2024. Simply set your Binance API credentials in .env and the bot will support it automatically.

If you want to spin a Binance-based project reusing this structure:

  1. Clone as new repo: copy this workspace to a fresh repo (strip .git, keep folder layout and docs).
  2. Swap broker layer: replace Coinbase-specific code in bot/broker_manager.py and bot/broker_integration.py with Binance client calls; keep the risk manager and strategy unchanged.
  3. Env contract: create .env.example for Binance keys (API key/secret, base URL, recv window); never commit real keys.
  4. Symbol mapping: adjust market lists to Binance symbols (e.g., BTCUSDT) and update any pair filters.
  5. Fees/min sizes: update the risk manager to enforce Binance lot sizes, min notional, and taker/maker fees.
  6. Tests/checks: add quick balance + order sandbox checks (similar to test_v2_balance.py); run in a paper/sandbox mode first.
  7. Deployment: reuse the Dockerfile/start scripts; just inject Binance env vars. Verify logs before live funds.

Key Log Messages

✅ Connection successful
💰 Balance detected: $35.31
📊 Signal: BUY on BTC-USD
✅ Order executed: Buy 0.001 BTC
🎯 Position opened: BTC-USD at $42,500

Error Logs

❌ Balance detection failed
🔥 ERROR get_account_balance: [details]
⚠️ API rate limit exceeded

⚠️ Troubleshooting

Problem: Balance shows $0.00

Solution: Your funds are in retail Coinbase, not Advanced Trade

  1. Check API credentials are correct
  2. Verify API key has View + Trade permissions
  3. Run python test_v2_balance.py to test v2 API
  4. If still $0, funds may need transfer to Advanced Trade portfolio

See: API_KEY_ISSUE.md

Problem: API Authentication Failed (401)

Solution: API key expired or incorrect

  1. Regenerate API key at https://portal.cloud.coinbase.com
  2. Update .env file with new credentials
  3. Verify PEM key has proper newlines: \n
  4. Test with python scripts/print_accounts.py

Problem: IndentationError in trading_strategy.py

Solution: Python indentation issue

  1. Check line indentation (4 spaces, never tabs)
  2. Verify close_full_position() method indentation
  3. Run python -m py_compile bot/trading_strategy.py

Problem: Kraken “Permission denied” error

Solution: API key lacks required permissions

If you see EGeneral:Permission denied in logs:

  1. Go to https://www.kraken.com/u/security/api
  2. Edit your API key and enable these permissions:
    • ✅ Query Funds
    • ✅ Query Open Orders & Trades
    • ✅ Query Closed Orders & Trades
    • ✅ Create & Modify Orders
    • ✅ Cancel/Close Orders
  3. Save and restart the bot

See: KRAKEN_PERMISSION_ERROR_FIX.md for detailed instructions

Problem: No trades executing

Possible causes:

Check logs for:

Symbol: BTC-USD, Signal: HOLD, Reason: Mixed signals (Up:4/5, Down:3/5)

🔒 Emergency Recovery - December 20, 2025 BALANCE FIX

If Bot Shows $0 Balance or Stops Trading

CRITICAL FIX - December 20, 2025: Portfolio Breakdown API implementation

The Problem

The Solution (DEPLOYED & WORKING)

File Changed: bot/broker_manager.py Method: get_account_balance() Fix: Replaced get_accounts() with get_portfolio_breakdown()

Code Snippet (lines ~200-250 in broker_manager.py):

def get_account_balance(self):
    """
    Get available trading balance using Portfolio Breakdown API
    WORKING METHOD - get_accounts() was returning $0
    """
    try:
        # Get default portfolio
        portfolios_resp = self.client.get_portfolios()
        default_portfolio = None

        if hasattr(portfolios_resp, 'portfolios'):
            for p in portfolios_resp.portfolios:
                if getattr(p, 'type', '') == 'DEFAULT':
                    default_portfolio = p
                    break

        if not default_portfolio:
            return {'usd': 0, 'usdc': 0, 'trading_balance': 0}

        # Get portfolio breakdown (THIS WORKS!)
        breakdown_resp = self.client.get_portfolio_breakdown(
            portfolio_uuid=default_portfolio.uuid
        )

        breakdown = getattr(breakdown_resp, 'breakdown', None)
        spot_positions = getattr(breakdown, 'spot_positions', [])

        usd_total = 0
        usdc_total = 0

        for position in spot_positions:
            currency = getattr(position, 'asset', '')
            available = float(getattr(position, 'available_to_trade_fiat', 0))

            if currency == 'USD':
                usd_total += available
            elif currency == 'USDC':
                usdc_total += available

        trading_balance = usd_total + usdc_total

        return {
            'usd': usd_total,
            'usdc': usdc_total,
            'trading_balance': trading_balance
        }
    except Exception as e:
        logger.error(f"Balance detection failed: {e}")
        return {'usd': 0, 'usdc': 0, 'trading_balance': 0}

Quick Recovery Steps

# 1. Verify you have the fix
grep -n "get_portfolio_breakdown" bot/broker_manager.py

# 2. Test balance detection
python3 test_updated_bot.py

# 3. Check if bot is trading
python3 check_if_selling_now.py

# 4. If still showing $0, restore from this commit
git log --oneline --all | grep "balance detection"
git reset --hard <commit-hash>
git push --force

# 5. Verify Railway redeployed
railway logs -f

Expected Results After Fix

✅ Balance Check:

Trading Balance: $93.28
  - USD:  $35.74
  - USDC: $57.54
✅ Bot CAN see funds!

✅ Activity Check:

🎯 RECENT ORDERS (last 60 minutes):
🟢 1m ago - BUY BTC-USD (FILLED)

✅ YES! NIJA IS ACTIVELY TRADING NOW!

Files Modified in v7.2 + Diagnostic Tools (Reference for Recovery)

If anything breaks, restore these 4 files from commit [CURRENT COMMIT]:

  1. bot/nija_apex_strategy_v71.py (2 changes)
    • Line 217: signal = score >= 3 (was score >= 1) - Long entry stricter
    • Line 295: signal = score >= 3 (was score >= 1) - Short entry stricter
  2. bot/risk_manager.py (3 changes)
    • Line 55: min_position_pct=0.02, max_position_pct=0.05 (was 0.05, 0.25)
    • Line 56: max_total_exposure=0.80 (was 0.50)
    • Line 377: atr_buffer = atr * 1.5 (was atr * 0.5) - Wider stops
  3. bot/execution_engine.py (1 new method)
    • Line 234: Added check_stepped_profit_exits() method
    • Handles exits at 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3% profit targets
  4. bot/trading_strategy.py (3 additions)
    • Line 1107: Stepped exit logic for BUY positions
    • Line 1154: Stepped exit logic for SELL positions
    • Line 1584: Added _check_stepped_exit() helper method

Quick Recovery Steps

If bot crashes or needs rollback:

# Option 1: Restore from profitability-verified commit (RECOMMENDED)
cd /home/runner/work/Nija/Nija
git log --oneline | head -10  # Find commit 3a8a7f5 or later
git reset --hard 3a8a7f5  # Restore to profitability diagnostic state (Dec 27, 2025)

# Option 2: Restore from main branch latest
git checkout main
git pull origin main
git reset --hard HEAD

# Option 3: Restore individual files only
git checkout HEAD -- bot/nija_apex_strategy_v71.py
git checkout HEAD -- bot/risk_manager.py
git checkout HEAD -- bot/execution_engine.py
git checkout HEAD -- bot/trading_strategy.py
git checkout HEAD -- bot/position_tracker.py
git checkout HEAD -- bot/fee_aware_config.py

# Option 4: If you need to rollback to previous version
git revert HEAD  # Creates new commit that undoes changes
git push origin main

After recovery, ALWAYS verify profitability:

# Verify all 5 components are working
python3 check_nija_profitability_status.py

# Should output: "✅ Passed Checks: 5/5"
# If not 5/5, DO NOT deploy - investigate what's missing

Verification Checklist

✅ Code Changes Verified:

✅ Data Integrity:

✅ Git Status:

Expected Behavior After Restart

First 30 minutes:

✅ Loads 8 existing positions
✅ Monitors each with new exit logic
✅ Exits portions at 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3% profit
✅ Exits decisively at 1.5x ATR stops
✅ NEVER holds position flat for 8+ hours

Throughout day:

✅ Capital cycles through 10-20 positions
✅ Each position exits in 15-30 minutes
✅ Free capital constantly available
✅ New entries with stricter 3/5 signal threshold

If Something Goes Wrong

Issue: Bot not exiting positions at profit targets Fix: Check that _check_stepped_exit() is called in manage_open_positions() Restore: git checkout HEAD -- bot/trading_strategy.py

Issue: Positions held 8+ hours again Fix: Verify atr_buffer = atr * 1.5 in risk_manager.py (not 0.5) Restore: git checkout HEAD -- bot/risk_manager.py

Issue: Too many bad trades entering Fix: Verify signal threshold is score >= 3 (not 1) in apex_strategy Restore: git checkout HEAD -- bot/nija_apex_strategy_v71.py

Issue: Complete failure Fix: Full reset to current commit

git reset --hard HEAD
git clean -fd
python bot/live_trading.py

Documentation Files (Reference)

v7.2 Upgrade Documentation:

Profitability Diagnostic Documentation (December 27, 2025):

How Profitability Works:

1. Bot buys crypto → Tracks entry price in positions.json
2. Monitors P&L every 2.5 minutes
3. Auto-exits when profit targets hit:
   • +0.5% profit → SELL (quick gain)
   • +1.0% profit → SELL (good gain)
   • +2.0% profit → SELL (strong gain)
   • +3.0% profit → SELL (excellent gain)
4. Auto-exits at -2% stop loss (cuts losses)
5. Fee-aware sizing ensures positions overcome fees
6. Profit locked in, capital ready for next trade

Monitoring After Recovery

First 24 Hours:

Profitability Health Checks:

# Daily verification (recommended)
python3 check_nija_profitability_status.py

# Check positions being tracked
cat positions.json

# Monitor for profit exits in logs
tail -f logs/nija.log | grep "PROFIT TARGET HIT"

# Check account balance trending
python3 check_balance_now.py

# Weekly deep diagnostic
python3 diagnose_profitability_now.py

What to look for in logs:

✅ "Fee-aware configuration loaded - PROFITABILITY MODE ACTIVE"
✅ "💰 P&L: $+1.23 (+1.23%) | Entry: $96,432.50"
✅ "🎯 PROFIT TARGET HIT: BTC-USD at +1.23% (target: +1.0%)"
✅ "🔴 CONCURRENT EXIT: Selling 1 positions NOW"
✅ "✅ BTC-USD SOLD successfully!"

Red flags (system not working properly):

❌ "Position tracker not found" → Missing position_tracker.py
❌ "Could not calculate P&L" → positions.json missing or corrupted
❌ Positions held >8 hours → Stepped exits not working
❌ "Balance below minimum" but balance >$50 → Fee-aware config broken
❌ No "PROFIT TARGET HIT" messages → Exit logic not active

If red flags appear:

  1. Run: python3 check_nija_profitability_status.py
  2. If fails (not 5/5), restore from git commit 3a8a7f5
  3. Verify restore: python3 check_nija_profitability_status.py
  4. Should now show: “✅ Passed Checks: 5/5”
