# Venue Expert

Hierarchical microstructure knowledge base for trading venues. Primary use cases: research, debugging, and building trading systems.

## Purpose

Provide deep venue-specific expertise for:
- Quants building execution models and alpha signals
- Developers implementing feed handlers and order entry
- Researchers studying market microstructure
- Debuggers diagnosing trading system issues

## Hierarchy Model

Knowledge is organized in an inheritance hierarchy:

```
Asset Class (equity, futures, crypto, fx)
    |
    v
Geography (amer, emea, apac)
    |
    v
Exchange (nasdaq, nyse, cme, binance)
```

Each level inherits concepts from its parent. Exchange-level files assume familiarity with geo-level and asset-class-level concepts.

## Current Coverage

**Implemented paths:**
- `equity/` - Equity market fundamentals
- `equity/amer/` - US equity market structure (Reg NMS, NBBO, SIP, TRF)
- `equity/amer/nasdaq/` - Nasdaq-specific mechanics (ITCH, OUCH, crosses)
- `futures/` - Futures market fundamentals
- `futures/apac/` - APAC futures overview
- `futures/apac/china/` - Chinese futures (CTP, 5 exchanges, regulatory)
- `futures/apac/china/shfe/` - SHFE metals/energy
- `futures/apac/china/dce/` - DCE ferrous/agricultural
- `futures/apac/china/czce/` - CZCE agricultural/chemicals
- `futures/apac/china/cffex/` - CFFEX financial futures
- `futures/apac/china/ine/` - INE internationalized products

**Planned paths:**
- `equity/amer/nyse/` - NYSE mechanics
- `equity/emea/lse/` - London Stock Exchange
- `futures/amer/cme/` - CME Group
- `crypto/binance/` - Binance exchange

## Navigation

### Context Detection

Route to appropriate depth based on query specificity:

| Query Pattern | Target File |
|---------------|-------------|
| Generic equity concepts | `equity/equity.md` |
| US market structure, Reg NMS, NBBO | `equity/amer/equity_amer.md` |
| Nasdaq-specific (ITCH, NOII, crosses) | `equity/amer/nasdaq/nasdaq.md` |
| Generic futures concepts | `futures/futures.md` |
| APAC futures overview | `futures/apac/futures_apac.md` |
| Chinese futures, CTP, 夜盘 | `futures/apac/china/futures_china.md` |
| SHFE-specific (metals, CloseToday) | `futures/apac/china/shfe/shfe.md` |
| DCE-specific (iron ore, stop orders) | `futures/apac/china/dce/dce.md` |
| CZCE-specific (3-digit years, UpdateMillisec=0) | `futures/apac/china/czce/czce.md` |
| CFFEX-specific (index futures, restrictions) | `futures/apac/china/cffex/cffex.md` |
| INE-specific (crude oil, foreign access) | `futures/apac/china/ine/ine.md` |

### Drill-Down Behavior

Start at the most specific applicable level. Reference parent concepts without repeating them. For example, when discussing Nasdaq auctions, assume familiarity with US equity auction concepts from `equity_amer.md`.

## Reference Organization

Each level has a `references/` directory with subdirectories:

- `regulatory/` - Rules, regulations, compliance guidance
- `specs/` - Protocol specifications, data formats

Reference files provide deep detail on specific topics. Load them when queries require specification-level precision.

## Debugging Checklist

When debugging trading system issues:

### US Equity
1. **Feed issues** - Check sequence gaps, timestamp alignment, halt state handling
2. **Auction issues** - Verify order type eligibility, cutoff times, NOII parsing
3. **Execution issues** - Validate tick/lot compliance, fee tier, priority rules
4. **Regulatory issues** - Confirm trade-through protection, best execution logic

### Chinese Futures (CTP)
1. **Data issues** - DBL_MAX validation (1.7976931348623157e+308), CZCE UpdateMillisec=0, night replay filtering
2. **Session issues** - TradingDay vs ActionDay semantics, 21:00 reset, trading breaks (10:15-10:30)
3. **Order issues** - CloseToday/CloseYesterday (SHFE/INE), cancel-replace queue loss, DCE stop orders
4. **Auth issues** - 看穿式监管 AppID/AuthCode, CTP version ≥6.3.15, physical machine required
5. **Gap issues** - CTP has NO replay; reconnection gaps are permanent data loss
