CRITICAL BUG: Portfolio P&L Mismatch ($10.57 Discrepancy)

Status: FIXED βœ…


Summary

Bug: Portfolio state showed -$102.89 total P&L, but trades database showed -$92.32 (difference: $10.57).

Root Cause: Two distinct issues:

  1. Trading system was started with only 1 asset instead of 4
  2. Bot realized_pnl is not reconstructed from trade history on startup

Impact: Portfolio P&L reporting is inaccurate, dashboard shows wrong values


Investigation Results

Audit of All 46 Trades

Asset Trades Total P&L from DB State P&L (Before Fix) Discrepancy
BTCUSDT 8 $-40.92 $-59.60 $-18.68
ETHUSDT 11 $-84.13 MISSING $-84.13
SOLUSDT 7 $+131.82 MISSING $+131.82
XRPUSDT 20 $-99.09 MISSING $-99.09
TOTAL 46 $-92.32 $-59.60 $+32.71

Root Causes Identified

Issue 1: System Started with Partial Assets

# Expected (from start.sh):
python live_trading_multi.py --assets BTCUSDT ETHUSDT SOLUSDT XRPUSDT --balance 5000

# Actual running process:
python live_trading_multi.py --assets BTCUSDT --balance 5000

Result: Only BTCUSDT bot exists in self.bots, so save_state() only saves BTCUSDT data.

Issue 2: No P&L Reconstruction on Startup

When a bot is created, realized_pnl starts at 0:

self.realized_pnl = 0.0  # ❌ Should be loaded from trade history

Even if state is loaded, if the state is missing assets or incorrect, the bot doesn't validate against trade history.

Result: Bot P&L doesn't match historical trades, causing permanent discrepancy.


The Fix

Code Changes (live_trading_multi.py)

Added 3 new methods to MultiAssetOrchestrator:

1. Enhanced load_state() - Auto-Reconciliation

def load_state(self):
    """Load state from storage and reconcile with trade history."""
    state = self.storage.load_state()

    if not state:
        # Reconstruct from trade history if no state exists
        self._reconstruct_state_from_trades()
        return

    assets = state.get('assets', {})
    for symbol, asset_state in assets.items():
        if symbol in self.bots:
            self.bots[symbol].restore_state(asset_state)

    # CRITICAL FIX: Reconcile missing assets from trade history
    for symbol, bot in self.bots.items():
        if symbol not in assets:
            # Asset missing from state - reconstruct from trades
            self._reconstruct_bot_state(symbol, bot)
        else:
            # Validate saved P&L matches trade history
            trades_pnl = self._calculate_pnl_from_trades(symbol)
            state_pnl = assets[symbol].get('pnl', 0)

            if abs(trades_pnl - state_pnl) > 0.01:
                logger.error(f"P&L MISMATCH for {symbol}: Correcting...")
                bot.realized_pnl = trades_pnl

2. New _reconstruct_bot_state() - Trade History Reconstruction

def _reconstruct_bot_state(self, symbol: str, bot):
    """Reconstruct bot state from trade history."""
    all_trades = self.storage.get_trades(limit=10000)
    symbol_trades = [t for t in all_trades if t.get('symbol') == symbol]

    if not symbol_trades:
        return

    # Calculate total P&L from all historical trades
    total_pnl = sum(t.get('pnl', 0) for t in symbol_trades)

    # Restore state
    bot.realized_pnl = total_pnl

    # ... (restore position, balance, etc.)

3. New Validation in save_state() - Ongoing Monitoring

def save_state(self):
    """Save state with P&L validation."""
    # ... existing code ...

    # VALIDATION: Check P&L every 5 minutes
    for symbol, bot in self.bots.items():
        trades_pnl = self._calculate_pnl_from_trades(symbol)
        if abs(bot.realized_pnl - trades_pnl) > 0.01:
            logger.error(
                f"P&L VALIDATION FAILED for {symbol}: "
                f"Bot=${bot.realized_pnl:+.2f}, Trades=${trades_pnl:+.2f}"
            )

Manual Fix Applied

Created and ran fix_portfolio_state.py:

$ ./venv/bin/python fix_portfolio_state.py

βœ… Fix applied successfully!
   Before: $-102.89
   After:  $-92.32
   Correction: $+10.58

Validation & Testing

Test Script: test_portfolio_validation.py

Tests:

  1. βœ… All assets present in state
  2. βœ… Per-asset P&L matches trade history
  3. βœ… Total P&L matches
  4. βœ… Fix metadata preserved
$ ./venv/bin/python test_portfolio_validation.py

βœ…βœ…βœ… ALL TESTS PASSED βœ…βœ…βœ…

How to Prevent Recurrence

1. Always Start with All Assets

Update start.sh to always use full asset list:

python -u live_trading_multi.py --assets BTCUSDT ETHUSDT SOLUSDT XRPUSDT --balance 5000

2. Restart Required

The fix is in the code, but the running system must be restarted:

# Kill existing process
pkill -f live_trading_multi.py

# Start with all 4 assets
./start.sh

3. Auto-Validation Active

The code now:

  • βœ… Auto-reconstructs missing asset P&L from trade history
  • βœ… Validates P&L every 5 minutes
  • βœ… Logs errors if discrepancies are detected
  • βœ… Self-heals on startup if state is corrupted

Files Changed

File Change Purpose
live_trading_multi.py Enhanced load_state(), added _reconstruct_bot_state(), added validation in save_state() Auto-reconcile P&L with trade history
fix_portfolio_state.py New script One-time manual fix for current production state
test_portfolio_validation.py New test Validate fix is working correctly
audit_portfolio_bug.py New audit tool Detailed P&L audit across all trades

Next Steps

  1. Restart System with all 4 assets:

    pkill -f live_trading_multi.py
    ./start.sh
    
  2. Verify Fix after restart:

    ./venv/bin/python test_portfolio_validation.py
    
  3. Monitor Logs for P&L validation errors:

    tail -f process.log | grep "P&L VALIDATION"
    
  4. Dashboard Check: Verify portfolio P&L shows $-92.32 (not $-102.89)


Lessons Learned

  1. Always validate on startup: Bot state should always be reconciled with database
  2. Don't trust in-memory state: Trade history is source of truth
  3. Log asset changes: System should log when assets are added/removed
  4. Test state persistence: Automated tests should verify P&L matches trades
