Hey everyone, it's your resident grandpa-developer here.
I develop and run AI-powered automated trading bots in my spare time, evenings, and weekends. Recently, one of my production bots went a full 41 days without making a single trade.
No error logs. My watchdog process monitor was chirping happily. It just looked like it was perpetually "waiting." If the market was quiet and no entry conditions were met, that would be normal. But what if something was broken internally, causing it to ignore signals it should have acted on?
This "running but doing nothing" state is the absolute scariest. It's impossible to distinguish normal waiting from a silent failure. It genuinely gave me heart palpitations.
