When-to-Invest System
1. MCP (Market Conditions Processor)
The MCP component serves as the decision engine that analyzes market conditions to determine optimal investment timing:
Market data aggregation: Collects and normalizes data from multiple sources
Signal processing: Identifies patterns and triggers based on market conditions
Decision algorithms: Applies algorithmic rules to determine investment timing
Risk assessment: Evaluates market risk factors before initiating trades
Technical Implementation:
Data Pipeline:
Real-time market data ingestion using WebSocket connections to exchanges
Historical data warehousing in Amazon Redshift or similar data warehouse
Feature extraction and normalization through data preprocessing services
Analysis Framework:
Time-series analysis using statistical models
Machine learning models (gradient boosting, neural networks) for pattern recognition
Backtesting framework for algorithm validation
Anomaly detection for unusual market conditions
Decision Engine:
Rule-based decision tree for straightforward conditions
Probabilistic models for uncertainty quantification
Multi-factor scoring system for trade opportunity evaluation
Circuit breakers for extreme market conditions
2. Amazon SQS Trade Orders
The message queue system that handles trade order processing:
Queuing mechanism: Buffers trade orders for reliable processing
Decoupling: Separates the decision engine from execution services
Durability: Ensures orders are not lost during system fluctuations
Flow control: Manages processing rates during high volume periods
Technical Implementation:
Standard Amazon SQS queues with FIFO (First-In-First-Out) guarantees
Message retention policy configured for compliance requirements
Dead-letter queue for handling failed processing attempts
Encryption at rest and in transit for security compliance
CloudWatch metrics for queue monitoring and alerting
3. Trade Executor (ECS/Fargate)
The serverless execution engine that processes trade orders:
Order validation: Verifies trade parameters before execution
Exchange connectivity: Maintains connections to trading venues
Execution strategies: Implements various execution algorithms
Confirmation handling: Processes trade execution reports
Technical Implementation:
Container Infrastructure:
Docker containers deployed on AWS Fargate
Auto-scaling based on queue depth metrics
Multiple availability zone deployment for redundancy
Resource allocation optimized for low-latency execution
Execution Components:
Order router to determine optimal execution venue
Smart order routing algorithms for best execution
Exchange-specific adapters for connectivity
Rate limiting to comply with exchange requirements
Retry mechanisms for transient failures
Operational Features:
Comprehensive logging for audit trails
Performance metrics for execution quality
Circuit breakers for abnormal market conditions
Alerting for execution anomalies
4. Blockchain Actions (GOAT-SDK)
The blockchain integration layer that handles on-chain transactions:
Transaction preparation: Formats trade data for blockchain submission
Wallet management: Handles key management and transaction signing
Chain interactions: Submits transactions to appropriate blockchains
Confirmation monitoring: Tracks transaction status on-chain
Technical Implementation:
GOAT-SDK Integration:
Goal-Oriented Agent Toolkit for blockchain interactions
Abstract blockchain interface for multi-chain support
Webhook notifications for transaction status updates
Gas optimization strategies for cost efficiency
Security Measures:
Hardware security module (HSM) integration for key protection
Multi-signature requirements for high-value transactions
Transaction review thresholds based on value
Rate limiting to prevent excessive blockchain interactions
Blockchain Connectivity:
Direct node connections for primary chains
RPC provider integrations for secondary chains
Fallback providers for reliability
Transaction monitoring for confirmation assurance
Data Flow
MCP analyzes market conditions and determines investment timing
When conditions are favorable, MCP generates trade orders and sends them to Amazon SQS
Trade Executor containers poll the SQS queue for pending orders
Trade Executor validates and processes orders against traditional exchanges
Blockchain Actions component handles any required on-chain transactions
Confirmation and status updates flow back through the system
Fault Tolerance and Reliability
Idempotent Processing: All components implement idempotent operations to prevent duplicate transactions
Circuit Breakers: System-wide circuit breakers prevent cascading failures
Dead Letter Queues: Failed messages are routed to DLQs for analysis and retry
State Recovery: System state can be reconstructed from event logs if needed
Monitoring: Comprehensive monitoring with alerting for system health
Security Implementation
All system components operate within private subnets
VPC endpoint services for AWS service access
Encryption for data at rest and in transit
IAM roles with least privilege principles
Network security groups limiting component access
Secrets management using AWS Secrets Manager
Compliance Considerations
Trade execution audit logs retained according to regulatory requirements
Time synchronization across all components for accurate sequencing
Regular compliance scanning for security vulnerabilities
Data sovereignty considerations for international deployments
PII and financial data protection measures
Performance Optimization
Low-latency networking for trade execution paths
Connection pooling for exchange connectivity
Caching of frequently accessed market data
Batch processing where appropriate for blockchain transactions
