07 - Sandbox Architecture (Analyzer Mode) ​

Overview ​

Tradeboard's Sandbox/Analyzer mode provides a local walk-forward execution environment with ₹1 Crore default sandbox capital, margin/leverage simulation, auto square-off, and T+1 settlement behavior. It stores trading state separately from live broker state in db/sandbox.db.

Analyzer mode implements GTT place, modify, cancel and orderbook through sandbox/gtt_manager.py, backed by the sandbox_gtt and sandbox_gtt_legs tables. The 501 responses on those four endpoints belong to live mode instead: import_broker_gtt_module(broker) returns None for any broker without an api/gtt_api.py, which today means every broker except Dhan and Zerodha.

Core Components ​

1. Database Models ​

Location: database/sandbox_db.py

SandboxOrders Table ​

Stores all sandbox orders with complete state tracking.

python
class SandboxOrders(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'sandbox_orders'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    orderid = Column(String, unique=True, nullable=False)  # ORDER-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-uuid
    user_id = Column(String, nullable=False)
    strategy = Column(String)

    # Symbol details
    symbol = Column(String, nullable=False)      # SBIN, NIFTY30JAN25FUT
    exchange = Column(String, nullable=False)    # NSE, NFO, MCX

    # Order details
    action = Column(String, nullable=False)      # BUY, SELL
    quantity = Column(Integer, nullable=False)
    price = Column(Numeric(10, 2))               # NULL for MARKET orders
    trigger_price = Column(Numeric(10, 2))       # For SL/SL-M orders
    price_type = Column(String, nullable=False)  # MARKET, LIMIT, SL, SL-M
    product = Column(String, nullable=False)     # CNC, NRML, MIS

    # Execution state
    order_status = Column(String, default='open')  # open, complete, cancelled, rejected
    average_price = Column(Numeric(10, 2))         # Fill price
    filled_quantity = Column(Integer, default=0)
    pending_quantity = Column(Integer, nullable=False)

    # Margin tracking (CRITICAL: stores exact margin at order time)
    margin_blocked = Column(Numeric(15, 2))

    # Timestamps
    order_timestamp = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.now)
    update_timestamp = Column(DateTime, onupdate=datetime.now)

Why margin_blocked is critical:

  • Stores exact margin calculated at order placement
  • Prevents over/under-release when execution price ≠ order price
  • Ensures margin consistency across async execution

SandboxTrades Table ​

Records executed trades linked to orders.

python
class SandboxTrades(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'sandbox_trades'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    tradeid = Column(String, unique=True)      # TRADE-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-uuid
    orderid = Column(String, nullable=False)   # Links to SandboxOrders
    user_id = Column(String, nullable=False)

    symbol = Column(String, nullable=False)
    exchange = Column(String, nullable=False)
    action = Column(String, nullable=False)
    quantity = Column(Integer, nullable=False)
    price = Column(Numeric(10, 2), nullable=False)  # Actual execution price
    product = Column(String, nullable=False)
    strategy = Column(String)

    trade_timestamp = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.now)

SandboxPositions Table ​

Tracks open positions with comprehensive P&L tracking.

python
class SandboxPositions(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'sandbox_positions'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    user_id = Column(String, nullable=False)
    symbol = Column(String, nullable=False)
    exchange = Column(String, nullable=False)
    product = Column(String, nullable=False)

    # Position state
    quantity = Column(Integer, nullable=False)        # Positive=Long, Negative=Short
    average_price = Column(Numeric(10, 2), nullable=False)
    ltp = Column(Numeric(10, 2))                      # Last traded price (MTM)

    # P&L tracking (three separate fields)
    pnl = Column(Numeric(15, 2), default=0)           # Current unrealized P&L
    accumulated_realized_pnl = Column(Numeric(15, 2), default=0)  # All-time realized
    today_realized_pnl = Column(Numeric(15, 2), default=0)        # Today only (resets daily)
    pnl_percent = Column(Numeric(10, 4), default=0)

    # Margin tracking (CRITICAL: exact margin for this position)
    margin_blocked = Column(Numeric(15, 2), default=0)

    # Session tracking
    updated_at = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.now, onupdate=datetime.now)

    __table_args__ = (
        UniqueConstraint('user_id', 'symbol', 'exchange', 'product'),
    )

P&L Field Semantics:

  • pnl: Display field for unrealized P&L (varies by context)
  • accumulated_realized_pnl: All-time realized, never decrements
  • today_realized_pnl: Daily realized, resets at session boundary (03:00 IST)

SandboxHoldings Table ​

T+1 settled CNC positions (delivery holdings).

python
class SandboxHoldings(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'sandbox_holdings'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    user_id = Column(String, nullable=False)
    symbol = Column(String, nullable=False)
    exchange = Column(String, nullable=False)

    quantity = Column(Integer, nullable=False)
    average_price = Column(Numeric(10, 2), nullable=False)
    ltp = Column(Numeric(10, 2))
    pnl = Column(Numeric(15, 2), default=0)
    pnl_percent = Column(Numeric(10, 4), default=0)

    settlement_date = Column(DateTime)  # When moved from position to holding

    __table_args__ = (
        UniqueConstraint('user_id', 'symbol', 'exchange'),
    )

SandboxFunds Table ​

Sandbox capital management per user.

python
class SandboxFunds(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'sandbox_funds'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    user_id = Column(String, unique=True, nullable=False)

    # Capital tracking
    total_capital = Column(Numeric(15, 2))        # Starting capital (₹1 Cr default)
    available_balance = Column(Numeric(15, 2))    # Cash available for trading
    used_margin = Column(Numeric(15, 2))          # Blocked in positions

    # P&L tracking
    realized_pnl = Column(Numeric(15, 2))         # All-time realized
    unrealized_pnl = Column(Numeric(15, 2))       # Current MTM
    total_pnl = Column(Numeric(15, 2))            # realized + unrealized

    # Reset tracking
    last_reset_date = Column(DateTime)
    reset_count = Column(Integer, default=0)

Fund Balance Equation:

total_capital = available_balance + used_margin + realized_pnl

SandboxDailyPnL Table ​

EOD snapshots for historical P&L reporting.

python
class SandboxDailyPnL(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'sandbox_daily_pnl'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    user_id = Column(String, nullable=False)
    date = Column(Date, nullable=False)

    realized_pnl = Column(Numeric(15, 2))
    unrealized_pnl = Column(Numeric(15, 2))
    total_pnl = Column(Numeric(15, 2))
    portfolio_value = Column(Numeric(15, 2))

    created_at = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.now)

    __table_args__ = (
        UniqueConstraint('user_id', 'date'),
    )

SandboxConfig Table ​

Global configuration for all sandbox settings.

python
class SandboxConfig(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'sandbox_config'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    config_key = Column(String, unique=True, nullable=False)
    config_value = Column(String, nullable=False)
    description = Column(String)
    updated_at = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.now, onupdate=datetime.now)

Default Configuration Values:

2. Fund Manager ​

Location: sandbox/fund_manager.py

Manages sandbox capital with thread-safe operations and realistic margin calculations.

python
class FundManager:
    """Thread-safe fund management for sandbox mode"""

    _lock = threading.Lock()  # Prevents race conditions

    def __init__(self, user_id):
        self.user_id = user_id
        self.starting_capital = Decimal(get_config('starting_capital', '10000000.00'))

Margin Calculation ​

python
def calculate_margin_required(self, symbol, exchange, price, quantity, product, action):
    """

Margin Block/Release Flow ​

python
def block_margin(self, amount, description="Order placement"):
    """

Margin Reconciliation ​

Detects and fixes margin inconsistencies.

python

        funds.available_balance += discrepancy
        db_session.commit()

3. Execution Engine ​

Location: sandbox/execution_engine.py

Background worker that monitors pending orders and executes them based on live market data.

python

Analyzer GTT ​

sandbox/gtt_manager.py implements the analyzer side of GTT. services/sandbox_service.py exposes sandbox_place_gtt_order, sandbox_modify_gtt_order, sandbox_cancel_gtt_order and sandbox_gtt_orderbook, each of which constructs a GTTManager(user_id) and calls the matching method:

Service functionGTTManager method
sandbox_place_gtt_orderplace_gtt(gtt_data, last_price)
sandbox_modify_gtt_ordermodify_gtt(trigger_id, gtt_data)
sandbox_cancel_gtt_ordercancel_gtt(trigger_id)
sandbox_gtt_orderbooklist_gtts(status_filter)

State lives in the sandbox_gtt and sandbox_gtt_legs tables. Each of the four GTT services checks get_analyze_mode() first and routes here; only the live branch can return 501, and only when the selected broker has no api/gtt_api.py.
