# LIQUIDATOR INDICATOR - QUICK START GUIDE

## What You Get

### 1. VISUAL ZONES ON CHART ✅
Your Dash app now shows:
- **Green shaded rectangles** = LONG liquidation zones (where longs got liquidated)
- **Red shaded rectangles** = SHORT liquidation zones (where shorts got liquidated)  
- **Price labels** = Zone center price + side
- **Top 3 strongest zones** displayed

Example from your screenshot:
```
Chart now shows: Green zone at $83,868 labeled "LONG 83,868.53"
                 (Previously: only text in left panel)
```

### 2. MULTI-SIGNAL DETECTION ✅
Package detects liquidations from **4 patterns**:

| Pattern | What It Detects | Weight Multiplier |
|---------|-----------------|-------------------|
| Large trades | Size >= 0.1 BTC (forced liquidations) | 1.0x |
| Volume spikes | >2x avg + price move >0.1% (cascades) | 1.0x |
| Funding extremes | >0.1% funding (overleveraged) | 1.5x |
| OI drops | >5% OI decrease (liquidations NOW) | 2.0x |

### 3. QUALITY SCORING (v0.0.7) ✅
Automatic zone quality assessment:
- **quality_score**: 0-100 numerical rating
- **quality_label**: 'weak', 'medium', 'strong'
- Filter zones: `compute_zones(min_quality='medium')`

### 4. MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS (v0.0.7) ✅
Detect zones across 15 timeframes:
- **Supported**: 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h, 1d, 3d, 1w, 1M
- **alignment_score**: Cross-timeframe confirmation (0-100)
- Select any combination for your strategy

### 5. REAL-TIME STREAMING MODE (v0.0.7) ✅
Incremental zone updates with event callbacks:
- **Streaming mode**: Updates zones as trades arrive
- **Event callbacks**: React to zone formation/updates/breaks
- **Live trading ready**: Instant notifications

### 6. INTERACTIVE VISUALIZATION (v0.0.7) ✅
Plotly interactive charts with export:
- **Interactive charts**: Zoom, pan, hover for detailed analysis
- **HTML export**: Embed in dashboards or reports
- **TradingView Pine Script**: Export zones for TradingView alerts
- **Candlestick overlay**: Visualize zones with price action
- **Quality color-coding**: Strong zones = green/red, medium = orange, weak = gray

### 7. MULTI-EXCHANGE SUPPORT (v0.0.7) ✅
Works with ANY major crypto exchange:
- **21 supported exchanges**: Hyperliquid, Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, Kraken, OKX, HTX, Gate.io, MEXC, BitMEX, Deribit, Bitfinex, KuCoin, Phemex, Bitget, Crypto.com, BingX, Bitstamp, Gemini, Poloniex
- **Automatic parsing**: REST API + WebSocket formats
- **Symbol normalization**: Handles different exchange conventions (BTCUSDT, BTC-USD, XBT/USD)
- **One-line usage**: `Liquidator.from_exchange('BTC', 'binance', raw_data=trades)`

### 8. ML-POWERED PREDICTIONS (v0.0.7) ✅
Machine learning predicts which zones will hold vs break:
- **Prediction columns**: hold_probability, break_probability, prediction_confidence, ml_prediction
- **10 engineered features**: volume, recency, density, tightness, quality, alignment, age, distance, touches, funding
- **SQN metrics**: win_rate, avg_hold_time, expectancy, sqn_score (compatible with trading system quality assessment)
- **Continuous learning**: Track real outcomes to improve predictions over time
- **Optional**: Disabled by default (enable_ml=False), package works without scikit-learn

### 9. DATA COLLECTORS ✅
**Included in package**:
- `FundingRateCollector` - Live funding rates + open interest from WebSocket
- 21 exchange parsers - Automatic format conversion for 21 exchanges

**You provide** (from any source):
- Trade data (from public WebSocket/REST API feeds from ANY exchange)

## Usage

### Quick Test (Your Existing Data)
```bash
cd C:\Users\Warshawski\QUANT_APP
python test_enhanced_liquidator.py
```

Output:
```
1000 trades → 26 liquidations → 1 zone at $83,975 (strength 0.209)
```

### See Visual Zones (Dash App)
```bash
python start_dash_with_liq.py
```

Open http://127.0.0.1:8059 → See green/red zones on chart

### Use In Your Code

**Option 1: Basic (trades only)**
```python
from liquidator_indicator.core import Liquidator

liq = Liquidator('BTC', liq_size_threshold=0.1)
liq.ingest_trades(trades)  # Your trade data
zones = liq.compute_zones()

# zones has: price_mean, entry_low, entry_high, total_usd, strength, dominant_side
```

**Option 2: Enhanced (trades + funding)**
```python
from liquidator_indicator.core import Liquidator
from liquidator_indicator.collectors.funding import FundingRateCollector

# Start funding collector
collector = FundingRateCollector(symbols=['BTC', 'ETH'])
collector.start()

# Create indicator
liq = Liquidator('BTC')

# Ingest trades
liq.ingest_trades(trades)

# Add funding data (enhances detection)
funding = collector.get_latest()
liq.ingest_funding_rates(funding)

# Compute zones with all signals
zones = liq.compute_zones()

# Stop collector
collector.stop()
```

**Option 3: Quality Scoring (v0.0.7)**
```python
# Get only high-quality zones
strong_zones = liq.compute_zones(min_quality='strong')
medium_plus = liq.compute_zones(min_quality='medium')

# Check quality scores
print(zones[['price_mean', 'quality_score', 'quality_label']])
```

**Option 4: Multi-Timeframe Analysis (v0.0.7)**
```python
# Analyze across multiple timeframes
scalping = liq.compute_multi_timeframe_zones(timeframes=['1m', '5m', '15m'])
swing = liq.compute_multi_timeframe_zones(timeframes=['4h', '1d', '3d', '1w'])

# All 15 timeframes (default)
all_tf = liq.compute_multi_timeframe_zones()

# High-alignment zones (multiple timeframes agree)
premium = all_tf[all_tf['alignment_score'] >= 75]

# Combine quality + multi-timeframe
best_zones = liq.compute_multi_timeframe_zones(
    timeframes=['1h', '4h', '1d'],
    min_quality='strong'
)
best_zones = best_zones[best_zones['alignment_score'] >= 75]
```

**Option 5: Real-Time Streaming Mode (v0.0.7)**
```python
# Enable streaming mode for live trading
L_stream = Liquidator('BTC', mode='streaming')

# Register event callbacks
def on_new_zone(zone):
    print(f"🟢 New zone at ${zone['price_mean']:.2f}")
    if zone['quality_label'] == 'strong':
        send_alert(f"Strong zone formed at ${zone['price_mean']:.2f}")

def on_zone_update(new_zone, old_zone):
    volume_change = new_zone['total_usd'] - old_zone['total_usd']
    print(f"🔵 Zone ${new_zone['price_mean']:.2f} updated: {volume_change:+,.0f}")

def on_zone_break(zone):
    print(f"🔴 Zone ${zone['price_mean']:.2f} broken")

L_stream.on_zone_formed(on_new_zone)
L_stream.on_zone_updated(on_zone_update)
L_stream.on_zone_broken(on_zone_break)

# Process trades incrementally (e.g., from WebSocket)
for trade_batch in websocket_stream:
    zones = L_stream.update_incremental(trade_batch)
    # Callbacks automatically triggered!
```

**Option 6: Interactive Visualization (v0.0.7)**
```python
# Create interactive Plotly chart
fig = liq.plot(zones, candles, title='BTC Liquidation Zones')
fig.show()  # Opens in browser

# Save to HTML for dashboards
liq.plot(zones, candles, save_path='zones_chart.html', show=False)

# Export to TradingView Pine Script
fig = liq.plot(zones, export='tradingview')  # Prints Pine Script code

# Customize chart appearance
fig = liq.plot(
    zones,
    candles,
    title='My Trading Zones',
    template='plotly_dark',  # or 'plotly_white'
    height=800,
    show_volume=True
)
```

**Option 7: Multi-Exchange Support (v0.0.7)**
```python
# Works with ANY exchange - automatic parser selection

# Hyperliquid (your primary exchange)
hyperliquid_data = fetch_hyperliquid_trades()  # Your data source
L_hl = Liquidator.from_exchange('BTC', 'hyperliquid', raw_data=hyperliquid_data)

# Binance
binance_data = fetch_binance_aggTrades('BTCUSDT')
L_bn = Liquidator.from_exchange('BTC', 'binance', raw_data=binance_data)

# Coinbase
coinbase_data = fetch_coinbase_matches('BTC-USD')
L_cb = Liquidator.from_exchange('BTC', 'coinbase', raw_data=coinbase_data)

# Bybit
bybit_data = fetch_bybit_trades('BTCUSDT')
L_by = Liquidator.from_exchange('BTC', 'bybit', raw_data=bybit_data)

# All 21 exchanges supported!
# Same API, works with any exchange
zones = L_hl.compute_zones()

# Multi-exchange arbitrage: compare zones across exchanges
hl_zones = L_hl.compute_zones(min_quality='strong')
bn_zones = L_bn.compute_zones(min_quality='strong')

# Multi-timeframe visualization
mtf_zones = liq.compute_multi_timeframe_zones(timeframes=['1h', '4h', '1d'])
fig = liq.plot(mtf_zones, candles, title='Multi-Timeframe Zones')
```

## Data You Need

### Required: Trades
Collect from any exchange WebSocket (Hyperliquid, Binance, etc.)

Format:
```json
{"coin": "BTC", "side": "A", "px": "83991.0", "sz": "0.09374", "time": 1769824534507}
```

Your existing file works: `data/liquidations/trades.jsonl`

### Optional: Funding Rates (for better accuracy)
Use included collector:
```python
collector = FundingRateCollector(symbols=['BTC'])
collector.start()
# ... use collector.get_latest()
collector.stop()
```

Or provide manually:
```python
funding = {'BTC': {'funding_rate': 0.0001, 'open_interest': 12345, 'timestamp': '...'}}
liq.ingest_funding_rates(funding)
```
