<analysis>
The conversation is a continuation from a previously compacted session about trading bot maintenance. The key thread: diagnosing and fixing the morning sniper bot's exit logic, specifically two issues — (1) the ratchet mechanism firing immediately on every new position because `ratchet_floor` was initialized to ₹2000 instead of 0, and (2) the user's concern about take-profit orders being placed at entry (confirmed: none exist).
The fix was a one-line change on line 507 of `sniper_bot.py`. Then the user wanted to test the fix by restarting the bot with a shifted window — 10:55 to 11:40 (45 minutes). I updated `config_sniper.py` with the new window, pushed `START_DEADLINE` to 11:00, and asked for approval to stop the service and clear state files. The user said "yes."
The very next action should be: stop service → clear state files → restart service. The user's "yes" was the green light.

<summary>
## 1. Primary Request and Intent
1. **"can you go back to the questions asked and tell me once order taken - what are conditions for exit"** — Full enumeration of all exit pathways in the morning sniper bot after an entry order is taken.
2. **"pls fix it and make sure we do not put the exit or take profit orders at entry"** — Fix the ratchet bug (immediate exit on every new position) AND confirm no take-profit orders are placed at entry time.
3. **"lets restart at 10:55 am for 45 min"** — Shift the sniper bot window to 10:55–11:40 for a manual test of the fix.
4. **"yes"** — Approval to stop the morning_sniper service AND clear state files before restart.
## 2. Key Technical Concepts
- **Morning Sniper Bot**: Trades 5 symbols — SBIN/INDIGO (Flattrade), HAL/TCS (Shoonya), ULTRACEMCO (Kotak exec + Flattrade data)
- **Service entry point**: `sniper_bot.py` (NOT `morning_sniper_bot.py` — learned from prior mistake)
- **State files**: `/home/ubuntu/bots/morning_sniper/state/*.json` — per-symbol `done` and `bias` flags; MUST be cleared between runs
- **Window config**: `config_sniper.py` — `WINDOW_START`, `WINDOW_HARD_CLOSE`, `START_DEADLINE`
- **Exit order execution**: After entry fill, all exits place SELL LIMIT at `option_LTP + limit_offset_exit` (offset=3). Two retries max. Confirmed by broker positionbook (`qty == 0`).
- **Ratchet mechanism**: Two-phase — Phase A (arming): P&L must touch `profit_target_rs` (₹2000), then floor trails up in `ratchet_step_rs` (₹200) increments. Phase B (exit): P&L drops to floor → exit.
- **Ratchet bug root cause**: `ratchet_floor` initialized to ₹2000, so the exit condition `current_floor >= profit_target and pnl <= current_floor` evaluates to `2000 >= 2000 and pnl <= 2000` — always True, exits on first poll cycle.
## 3. Files and Code Sections
### `/home/ubuntu/bots/morning_sniper/sniper_bot.py`
**Line 507 — RATCHET BUG FIX (applied):**
```python
# BEFORE (broken):
self.state["ratchet_floor"] = self.p["profit_target_rs"] # = 2000
# AFTER (fixed):
self.state["ratchet_floor"] = 0 # armed only after P&L touches profit_target
```
**Line 777 — HARD_CLOSE fix (from prior session, kept):**
Changed hardcoded `dtime(9, 45, 30)` to `WINDOW_HARD_CLOSE` config reference.
**Exit condition code paths reviewed:**
- Line 580: `check_sl()` — P&L ≤ -₹1000 → exit
- Line 598: `check_profit_ratchet()` — armed at ₹2000, trails ₹200 steps, exit when drops to floor
- Line 641: `hard_close()` — time ≥ WINDOW_HARD_CLOSE → force exit all
- Line 658: `check_position_guard()` — qty > 2 lots → market sell excess
- Line 538: `execute_exit()` — common exit method: SELL LIMIT at LTP+3, retries once
### `/home/ubuntu/bots/morning_sniper/config_sniper.py`
**Window shifted for test:**
- `WINDOW_START = "10:15"` → temporarily changed to `"10:55"`
- `WINDOW_HARD_CLOSE = "10:45"` → temporarily changed to `"11:40"`
- `START_DEADLINE` pushed to `"11:00"` (was `"9:25"`)
**Note:** These window changes are temporary for the manual test and should be restored to 9:17–9:45 after testing.
### No take-profit at entry (confirmed)
`execute_entry()` places ONLY the BUY order — no SELL LIMIT, no exit order, nothing. The ₹62.50 LIMIT sell in the TCS trade was the ratchet bug firing, not a take-profit.
## 4. Errors and Fixes
| Error | Root Cause | Fix | Status |
|-------|-----------|-----|--------|
| Ratchet exits every new position immediately | `ratchet_floor` initialized to ₹2000 instead of 0; `2000 >= 2000` always true | Changed line 507 to `self.state["ratchet_floor"] = 0` | ✅ Fixed |
| TCS exit at ₹62.50 (user thought it was take-profit) | Ratchet bug fired on first poll cycle since P&L ₹603.75 ≤ ₹2000 | Same ratchet fix | ✅ Will be fixed on restart |
| Kotak auth broken (ULTRACEMCO can't trade) | 401 UNAUTHORIZED on placeorder, 500 on positionbook | Not yet addressed | 🔴 Still open |
## 5. Problem Solving Progress
**✅ Resolved:**
- Full enumeration of exit conditions documented (SL, Ratchet, Hard Close, Position Guard) — all four pathways, their triggers, and order types
- Ratchet bug fixed — changed `ratchet_floor` initialization from ₹2000 to 0
- Confirmed NO take-profit orders are placed at entry — verified by reading `execute_entry()` code
- Window shifted to 10:55–11:40 for test
- Config deadline pushed to 11:00
**🟡 In Progress (approved, awaiting execution):**
- Stop `morning_sniper.service`
- Clear state files (`state/*.json`)
- Restart service with new window + ratchet fix
**🔴 Still Open:**
- Kotak auth broken — ULTRACEMCO can't trade (401 on placeorder, 500 on positionbook)
## 6. All User Messages
1. (From compacted context) "can you go back to the questions asked and tell me once order taken - what are conditions for exit"
2. "pls fix it and make sure we do not put the exit or take profit orders at entry"
3. "lets restart at 10:55 am for 45 min"
4. "yes" — approving stop service + clear state files
## 7. Pending Tasks
1. **Execute the approved restart sequence:** Stop `morning_sniper.service` → clear `state/*.json` files → restart service with new window (10:55–11:40) and ratchet fix applied
2. **Monitor the test run** to verify ratchet no longer fires prematurely
3. **Restore window back to 9:17–9:45** after successful test
4. **Fix Kotak auth** (401 UNAUTHORIZED) — ULTRACEMCO cannot trade
## 8. Current Work
The user approved stopping the service and clearing state files (`"yes"`). The window in `config_sniper.py` has been shifted to 10:55–11:40, deadline to 11:00. The ratchet fix (line 507) is already applied in the source code. The next step is to execute the stop → clear → restart sequence to begin the 45-minute test.
## 9. Suggested Next Step
Execute the user-approved restart: **stop `morning_sniper.service`**, **clear all state JSON files** (`/home/ubuntu/bots/morning_sniper/state/*.json`), then **restart the service**. The config is already updated for the 10:55–11:40 window and the ratchet fix is applied. Quote: the user said "yes" to "stop the sniper service AND clear state files."
