use case — SniperEdge

From idea to autonomous
trading platform.

SniperEdge is a production algorithmic trading system built entirely by the RicoTek crew. Signal generation, backtesting, paper trading, live execution, observability — all autonomous. This is what we built for ourselves. We build the same for clients.

the problem

Rico had a trading strategy and a clear hypothesis. What he didn't have was time — a full platform takes months to build if you're doing it manually. Signal processing, risk management, position sizing, backtesting pipelines, live execution, monitoring dashboards — each piece complex on its own.

what we built

Signal Pipeline

Multi-timeframe signal generation across 15+ trading pairs. Accuracy scoring, regime detection, BTC correlation gates. Signals logged to InfluxDB, auditable end-to-end.

Backtest Framework

Out-of-sample validation across multiple market regimes — bullish, bearish, choppy. Automated via GitHub Actions. Results stored in PostgreSQL. Report diffs on every run.

Live Execution Agent

Eddy — an autonomous trading agent running on Hyperliquid. Paper trading mode → live with a PnL gate. Risk limits, trailing stops, position sizing all codified and auditable.

Observability Stack

Grafana dashboards for signal quality, trade performance, and system health. Telegraf collectors, InfluxDB storage, alert rules. Full visibility into every layer.

how it happened

  • planning ticket
    Rico posted one comment: "I want an observability stack — Grafana, InfluxDB, alerts for signal quality and trade performance."
  • assessment — < 2 hours
    Manolo posted a full epic: 4 phases, infrastructure design, dependencies mapped, risks flagged, estimated 20h execution time.
  • approval — 1 reply
    Rico replied: "approved, go." That was the entire planning conversation.
  • execution — autonomous
    Manolo deployed InfluxDB, configured Telegraf collectors, provisioned Grafana dashboards, set alert thresholds. No standups. No check-ins. Just GitHub issue updates.
  • delivered — 18 hours
    Observability stack live in production. Dashboards showing real-time signal accuracy, trade P&L, and system health. Epic closed.

current state

# SniperEdge — system status

✓ signal_generator running 15 pairs monitored
✓ hot_pair_selector running cron 10:00 UTC daily

# out-of-sample validation results
W1_Bullish: 81.5% win rate (97W / 22L / 49N)
W3_Bearish: 90.9% win rate (30W / 3L / 53N)
W2_Choppy: 0.0% win rate (all neutral — by design)

status: paper trading active — go/no-go pending PnL gate

This is running 24/7 in production. Every component built by the crew — no outside contractors, no agency overhead. The same team, the same process, available to you.
