Heavy jobs: what they do, where to click, and who triggers them (you, API, or cron). Copy in webShares/admin_automation_catalog.py.
| Control | Where | How triggered | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strategy experiments (rank & backtest candidates) | Strategies tab → workbench |
Manual
API
Started from the UI, or by scripts posting to the API. |
Runs deterministic backtests on the ranked shortlist for a chosen day—different weights, filters, or horizons—and stores each outcome as a recorded run. Endpoints: /api/experiments/run/, /api/experiments/design/, /api/experiments/recent/. No cron job in this repo starts these automatically. |
| Effectiveness reports (timing, ranking, recommendations, liquidity) | Operational reporting (CLI/API) |
Scheduled
API
Manual
After live candidate generation, or on demand via management command/API. |
Persists the Candidates shortlist daily via `persist_daily_candidate_shortlist`, then computes investment-outcome cohort reports via `compute_effectiveness_reports`. Staff API: /api/reports/effectiveness/. Automatically invoked at the end of `generate_live_candidates` unless `--skip-shortlist-persist`. |
| Outcome measurement (effectiveness → optimisation signals) | Strategies tab → Model Center (outcome signals API) |
Scheduled
API
Weekly cron via scripts/scRunOutcomeMeasurement.sh (Saturday 07:45). |
Primary path: `manage.py run_outcome_measurement` persists OptimizationOutcomeSignal rows and applies planner_state deltas on lane configs — no approve/reject queue. Staff APIs: /api/model-center/outcome-signals/ and /api/model-center/outcome-signals/dashboard/. See docs/plans/optimization-operating-model.md. |
| Model Center retest automation (retired) | Removed — use Strategy optimiser below |
Retired
Retired Phase C. Cron line removed from scripts/crontab-current.conf. |
RETIRED: champion-vs-challenger retest removed. `/api/model-center/automation/*` returns HTTP 410; `manage.py run_model_center_automation` is a no-op. Use Strategy optimiser and outcome signals instead. See docs/plans/optimization-operating-model.md. |
| Strategy optimiser (primary policy search) | Strategies tab → Automated policy search / Regression config |
Primary
Scheduled
API
Host cron drains the queue after close; UI sets global Automation On/Off (cron executes, not in-app timer). |
PRIMARY: searches weights, triggers, and (eventually) shortlist gates; one promotion recommendation per lane. Host runs `manage.py run_strategy_optimization_schedule` via scRunStrategyOptimisationTick.sh (weekdays 23:30 due check + drain; 03:00 queue safety net — see scripts/crontab-current.conf). Manual enqueue: POST /api/model-center/optimization/trigger/. Global toggle: POST /api/model-center/optimization/automation/. Outcome signals steer planner_state before due runs. |
| After-hours batch (prices, analysis, mail) | This page → Daily close pipeline |
Shortcut
Same as cron
Same workload as the nightly cron; this tile reruns it on demand. |
Downloads prices, refreshes analysis, updates watchlists, and sends summary mail for the post-close routine. Host wrappers and recovery flows are described in scripts/README.md (for example scStockBatchRunClose.sh, scRecoverMissedCloseBatch.sh). |
| Live candidate refresh | This page → Daily close pipeline |
Shortcut
After rankings
Normally follows the ranking step after close; use this to regenerate sooner. |
Rebuilds the saved candidate rows the workspace reads from. scripts/README.md explains generate_live_candidates and how it relates to the overnight batch. |
| Trading dry-run | This page → Command Execution |
Manual
Started manually from here unless you wire your own cron. |
Runs trading-batch checks without sending live orders—useful before trusting automation. |
| Platform regression tests | This page → Command Execution |
Manual
Started manually from here unless you wire your own cron. |
Runs the pytest suite through the legacy menu runner. |
Can outcome measurement and policy search run? Pipeline issues here block optimisation — funnel and ranking actions live on the Strategies tab.
