Executive Summary

Multi-Strategy Scanner System

This document describes the production-ready scanner implementation for the HFT trading system. Unlike earlier versions focused solely on arbitrage, this system supports multiple trading strategies through an extensible framework architecture.

Supported Strategies (from 11-extensible-strategy-architecture.md):

✅ Arbitrage - Cross-DEX price discrepancies (Rust + TypeScript)
✅ DCA - Dollar-cost averaging for position building (TypeScript)
✅ Grid Trading - Range-bound automated trading (TypeScript)
✅ Long/Short - Directional position taking (Rust)
✅ Limit Orders - Price-based order execution
✅ Liquidation Monitoring - Lending protocol opportunities

Key Capabilities

Framework Features:

🚀 Sub-50ms detection latency (real-time streaming)
🔌 Pluggable architecture (add new scanners in hours, not days)
📊 Built-in observability (Prometheus metrics, Loki logs, Jaeger traces)
🔄 Automatic retry & recovery (resilient error handling)
🎯 Deduplication (Redis-based event dedup)
📈 Horizontal scalability (NATS JetStream event bus)

Technology Stack:

Scanner Framework: TypeScript (@repo/scanner-framework)
Event Bus: NATS JetStream (6-stream architecture)
Observability: Prometheus + Grafana + Loki + Jaeger
Data Sources: gRPC (Go quote-service), Pyth oracle, Shredstream (future)
Language Support: TypeScript (current), Rust (future migration)

Performance Targets

Metric	Prototype	Current	Target	Status
Quote Fetch	800-1500ms	10-20ms	< 10ms	✅ Achieved
Detection Latency	N/A (polling)	10-30ms	< 50ms	✅ Achieved
Total Execution	~1700ms	~500ms	< 200ms	⏳ In Progress

Design Principles

Single Responsibility: Each scanner focuses on one data source or strategy type
Framework vs Application: Framework handles infrastructure, scanners handle business logic
Event-Driven: Scanners publish to NATS, planners/executors subscribe
Strategy Agnostic: Same scanner framework supports all trading strategies
Composability: Mix and match scanners for complex strategies

Example: Triangular Arbitrage

Uses 3 scanners: ArbitrageQuoteScanner (SOL/USDC), ArbitrageQuoteScanner (USDC/USDT), ArbitrageQuoteScanner (USDT/SOL)
Planner combines 3 quotes into triangular opportunity
Same framework, different configuration

Scanner Framework Design

Core Abstractions

The scanner framework provides two base classes for all scanner implementations:

1. BaseScanner (Abstract)

Location: ts/packages/scanner-framework/src/base.ts

Responsibilities:

NATS connection and JetStream publishing
Redis deduplication
Prometheus metrics collection
Error handling and retry logic
Graceful lifecycle management

Key Methods:

export abstract class BaseScanner {
  // Abstract methods (must implement)
  abstract name(): string;
  abstract start(): Promise<void>;
  abstract stop(): Promise<void>;

  // Template methods (can override)
  protected async initialize(): Promise<void>
  protected async cleanup(): Promise<void>
  protected async handleError(error: Error): Promise<void>

  // Publishing helpers (built-in)
  protected async publish(event: MarketEvent): Promise<void>
  protected async isDuplicate(event: MarketEvent): Promise<boolean>
  protected abstract getEventId(event: MarketEvent): string
}

2. PollingScanner (Periodic Fetching)

Use Cases: Price feeds, Jupiter quotes, periodic checks (DCA, limit orders)

Pattern:

export abstract class PollingScanner extends BaseScanner {
  abstract pollInterval: number; // Milliseconds

  // Implement these two methods
  protected abstract fetch(): Promise<any>;
  protected abstract process(data: any): Promise<MarketEvent[]>;
}

Automatic Features:

Periodic polling with configurable interval
Automatic error handling and retry
Poll duration metrics
Last successful poll timestamp

3. SubscriptionScanner (Real-time Streaming)

Use Cases: gRPC streams, WebSocket subscriptions, Shredstream, high-frequency data

Pattern:

export abstract class SubscriptionScanner extends BaseScanner {
  abstract maxConcurrency: number;
  abstract maxQueueSize: number;

  // Implement these two methods
  protected abstract subscribe(): Promise<AsyncIterator<any>>;
  protected abstract process(update: any): Promise<MarketEvent[]>;
}

Automatic Features:

Backpressure queue with concurrency control
Automatic stream reconnection
Queue overflow handling
Processing duration metrics

Framework Metrics

Scanner Metrics (auto-collected):

scanner_events_published_total{scanner, event_type}
scanner_errors_total{scanner, error_type}
scanner_poll_duration_seconds{scanner} (PollingScanner)
scanner_processing_duration_seconds{scanner} (SubscriptionScanner)
scanner_queue_overflows_total{scanner} (SubscriptionScanner)
scanner_events_deduplicated_total{scanner}
scanner_last_poll_success_timestamp{scanner}
scanner_queue_size{scanner}

Custom Metrics (scanner-specific):

Each scanner can add custom stats via this.stats.customStats
Example: dcaExecutions, opportunitiesDetected, quotesReceived

Scanner Implementations

1. Arbitrage Quote Scanner

Purpose: Real-time arbitrage detection via gRPC quote streaming from Go quote-service

Type: SubscriptionScanner Location: ts/apps/scanner-service/src/scanners/arbitrage-quote-scanner.ts

Architecture:

Go Quote Service (Port 50051)
    ↓ gRPC stream (10-20ms per quote)
ArbitrageQuoteScanner
    ├─ Maintains local quote cache
    ├─ Detects arbitrage when both directions available
    ├─ Calculates round-trip profit
    └─ Publishes to NATS: opportunity.arbitrage.detected

Configuration:

{
  tokenPairs: [
    { inputMint: 'SOL_MINT', outputMint: 'JITOSOL_MINT' },
    { inputMint: 'JITOSOL_MINT', outputMint: 'SOL_MINT' },
    // ... 14 LST pairs total
  ],
  amounts: [
    100_000_000,    // 0.1 SOL
    1_000_000_000,  // 1 SOL
    // ... 39 amounts total
  ],
  minProfitBps: 50,        // 0.5%
  maxSlippageBps: 50,      // 0.5%
  minConfidence: 0.8,      // 80%
}

Data Flow:

Go quote-service streams quotes via gRPC (546-624 quote subscriptions)
Scanner receives quote and caches it
Checks if reverse quote exists in cache
If both directions available: calculates round-trip profit
If profitable (> 50 bps): publishes ArbitrageOpportunity event

Performance:

Quote latency: 10-20ms (vs 800-1500ms Jupiter API)
Detection latency: < 30ms total
Throughput: 100+ quotes/sec

Profit Calculation:

// Round-trip calculation
inputAmount = 1 SOL
  ↓ Forward swap: SOL → JitoSOL
forwardOutput = 1.05 JitoSOL
  ↓ Reverse swap: JitoSOL → SOL
reverseOutput = 1.02 SOL

netProfit = reverseOutput - inputAmount - fees
profitBps = (netProfit / inputAmount) * 10000
// Example: (0.02 / 1.0) * 10000 = 200 bps (2%)

Key Files:

Scanner: scanners/arbitrage-quote-scanner.ts
gRPC Client: clients/grpc-quote-client.ts
Profit Calculator: utils/profit-calculator.ts
Quote Handler: handlers/quote-stream.ts
Pyth Client: clients/pyth-client.ts

2. DCA Scanner

Purpose: Execute dollar-cost averaging orders at configured intervals

Type: PollingScanner Location: ts/apps/scanner-service/src/scanners/dca-scanner.ts

Architecture:

PriceClient (Mock)
    ↓ Fetch price every N seconds
DCAScanner
    ├─ Checks interval timer
    ├─ Checks price condition (optional)
    ├─ Emits SwapRoute event
    └─ Publishes to NATS: market.swaps.route

Configuration:

{
  tokenMint: 'So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112', // SOL
  quoteMint: 'EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v', // USDC
  interval: 3600,          // 1 hour
  amount: 100_000_000,     // 100 USDC
  targetPrice: 100,        // Only buy if SOL <= $100
  pairName: 'SOL/USDC',
}

Custom Statistics:

dcaExecutions: Total DCA orders executed
lastExecutionPrice: Price of last execution
lastExecutionTime: Timestamp of last execution
skippedDueToPrice: Count of skips (price too high)
skippedDueToInterval: Count of skips (interval not passed)

Use Cases:

Accumulate SOL/LST over time
Avoid timing risk with periodic buys
Build positions without manual intervention

3. Limit Order Scanner

Purpose: Monitor prices and trigger limit orders when price targets are met

Type: PollingScanner Example: docs/13-scanner-framework-optimization.md (lines 562-682)

Architecture:

PriceClient
    ↓ Poll prices every 5 seconds
LimitOrderScanner
    ├─ Maintains order book (Map<orderId, LimitOrder>)
    ├─ Checks each order against current price
    ├─ Triggers order when price condition met
    └─ Publishes to NATS: opportunity.limit_order.triggered

Order Management:

addOrder(order: LimitOrder): void
cancelOrder(orderId: string): boolean
getActiveOrders(): LimitOrder[]

Custom Statistics:

ordersTriggered: Total orders executed
activeOrders: Current open orders

4. Liquidation Scanner

Purpose: Monitor lending protocols for liquidation opportunities

Type: SubscriptionScanner Example: docs/13-scanner-framework-optimization.md (lines 686-780)

Architecture:

LendingProtocolClient (Kamino, Solend, etc.)
    ↓ Real-time position updates
LiquidationScanner
    ├─ Monitors position health factors
    ├─ Calculates liquidation profitability
    ├─ Publishes when health factor < threshold
    └─ NATS: opportunity.liquidation.detected

Profitability Calculation:

collateralValue = collateral * collateralPrice
debtValue = debt * debtPrice
potentialProfit = collateralValue * 0.05  // 5% liquidation bonus

Custom Statistics:

liquidationOpportunities: Total opportunities detected
totalPotentialProfit: Cumulative potential profit

5. Pyth Price Scanner

Purpose: Stream real-time price updates from Pyth oracle

Type: PollingScanner (could also be SubscriptionScanner with SSE) Example: docs/11-scanner-service-framework-integration.md (lines 219-271)

Architecture:

Pyth Hermes API
    ↓ Fetch prices every 5 seconds
PythPriceScanner
    ├─ Fetches latest price updates
    ├─ Converts to MarketEvent
    └─ Publishes to NATS: market.prices.update

Supported Tokens:

SOL, USDC, USDT
LST tokens: JitoSOL, mSOL, stSOL, bSOL, JupSOL, INF, bonkSOL

Event Structure:

{
  type: 'price_update',
  source: 'pyth',
  token: priceData.id,
  price: priceData.price.price,
  confidence: priceData.price.conf,
  timestamp: priceData.price.publish_time,
  metadata: { expo: priceData.price.expo }
}

Integration Guide

Step 1: Install Dependencies

cd ts
pnpm install

Step 2: Create Scanner Class

Example: Simple Price Monitor Scanner

import { PollingScanner, type PollingScannerConfig } from '@repo/scanner-framework';
import type { MarketEvent } from '@repo/market-events';

export class PriceMonitorScanner extends PollingScanner {
  name = 'price-monitor';
  pollInterval = 10000; // 10 seconds

  private apiClient: PriceAPI;

  constructor(config: PollingScannerConfig, apiUrl: string) {
    super(config);
    this.apiClient = new PriceAPI(apiUrl);
  }

  protected async fetch(): Promise<any> {
    return await this.apiClient.getPrices(['SOL', 'USDC']);
  }

  protected async process(data: any): Promise<MarketEvent[]> {
    const events: MarketEvent[] = [];

    for (const price of data.prices) {
      events.push({
        type: 'price_update',
        source: 'api',
        token: price.symbol,
        price: price.usd,
        confidence: 1.0,
        timestamp: Date.now(),
        slot: 0,
        metadata: {}
      });
    }

    return events;
  }

  protected getEventId(event: MarketEvent): string {
    return `${event.token}:${event.timestamp}`;
  }
}

  deduplicationTtl: 5,
  maxRetries: 3,
  retryDelayMs: 1000,
  metricsEnabled: true,
  deduplicationEnabled: true,
  customConfig: {},
  pollInterval: 10000,
};

const scanner = new PriceMonitorScanner(config, 'https://api.prices.com');
await scanner.start();

// Graceful shutdown
process.on('SIGINT', async () => {
  await scanner.stop();
  process.exit(0);
});

Best Practices

1. Scanner Design

DO:

✅ Keep scanners focused on data acquisition
✅ Use handlers for complex business logic
✅ Implement proper cleanup in cleanup() method
✅ Add custom metrics to track scanner-specific stats
✅ Use meaningful event IDs for deduplication

DON’T:

❌ Put business logic in scanners
❌ Forget to call super.cleanup() when overriding
❌ Block the event loop with long-running operations
❌ Create scanners that are too generic

2. Event ID Generation

// ✅ GOOD - Stable, unique IDs
protected getEventId(event: MarketEvent): string {
  return `${event.type}:${event.accountId}:${event.slot}`;
}

// ❌ BAD - Includes volatile data
protected getEventId(event: MarketEvent): string {
  return `${event.type}:${event.price}`; // Price changes!
}

// ✅ GOOD - Don't deduplicate when each event is unique
protected getEventId(event: MarketEvent): string {
  return `${event.type}:${event.timestamp}:${Math.random()}`;
}

3. Custom Statistics

protected async process(data: any): Promise<MarketEvent[]> {
  // ... processing logic

  // Update custom stats
  this.stats.customStats.itemsProcessed =
    (this.stats.customStats.itemsProcessed || 0) + data.items.length;
  this.stats.customStats.lastProcessedTimestamp = Date.now();

  return events;
}

4. Error Handling

protected async process(data: any): Promise<MarketEvent[]> {
  try {
    // ... processing logic
    return events;
  } catch (error) {
    this.logger.error({ scanner: this.name, err: error }, 'Processing error');

    // Update error stats
    this.stats.customStats.processingErrors =
      (this.stats.customStats.processingErrors || 0) + 1;

    // Return empty array - framework will handle retry
    return [];
  }
}

Extensibility Patterns

Pattern 1: Simple Polling Scanner

Use Case: Periodic API polling (price feeds, Jupiter quotes, Pyth data)

See Scanner Implementations section for examples.

Pattern 2: Real-Time Subscription Scanner

Use Case: Streaming data (Shredstream, gRPC, WebSocket)

See ArbitrageQuoteScanner for full implementation.

Pattern 3: Composite Scanner (Multiple Data Sources)

Use Case: Scanner that combines multiple data sources

export class CompositeScanner extends SubscriptionScanner {
  private sourceA: SourceAClient;
  private sourceB: SourceBClient;
  private updateQueue: any[] = [];

  protected async subscribe(): Promise<AsyncIterator<any>> {
    // Connect both sources
    await Promise.all([
      this.sourceA.connect(),
      this.sourceB.connect(),
    ]);

    // Set up event handlers for both sources
    this.sourceA.on('data', (data) => this.enqueueUpdate({ source: 'A', data }));
    this.sourceB.on('data', (data) => this.enqueueUpdate({ source: 'B', data }));

    // Return async iterator that yields from queue
    return this.createIterator();
  }

  protected async process(update: any): Promise<MarketEvent[]> {
    if (update.source === 'A') {
      return this.processSourceA(update.data);
    } else {
      return this.processSourceB(update.data);
    }
  }
}

Pattern 4: Scanner with External Handler

Use Case: Scanner that delegates complex processing to handlers

See ArbitrageQuoteScanner which uses QuoteStreamHandler.

Performance Tuning

Concurrency Limits:

// Scanner layer
MAX_CONCURRENT_PROCESSING = 10 // Per subscription scanner
POLL_INTERVAL = 5000 // 5 seconds for polling scanners

// Infrastructure
MAX_NATS_BATCH_SIZE = 100 // Events per batch
REDIS_CONNECTION_POOL = 10 // Connections
RPC_ENDPOINTS = 7+ // Multiple providers

Troubleshooting

Scanner Not Showing in Grafana

Problem: Service shows as unknown-service or doesn’t appear

Solution:

Check environment variable:

docker exec ts-scanner-service env | grep SERVICE_NAME
# Should show: SERVICE_NAME=ts-scanner-service

Check logs:

docker logs ts-scanner-service | grep service
# Should show: "service":"ts-scanner-service"

Restart service:

docker-compose restart ts-scanner-service

Metrics Not Showing

Problem: Dashboard shows “No data”

Solution:

Check Prometheus scraping:

http://localhost:9090/targets
# Should show ts-scanner-service target as UP

Check metrics endpoint:

curl http://localhost:9094/metrics
# Should return metrics in Prometheus format

Check Mimir:

# In Grafana, query:
service_info{service="ts-scanner-service"}

gRPC Connection Errors

Problem: Scanner can’t connect to Go quote-service

Solution:

Verify quote-service is running:

netstat -an | findstr 50051
# Should show LISTENING

Test gRPC endpoint:

# Use grpcurl or similar tool
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50051 list

Check Docker networking:

# If using Docker, ensure host.docker.internal is configured
docker exec ts-scanner-service ping host.docker.internal

Build Errors

Problem: scanner-framework build fails

Solution (Fixed in 13.a-scanner-optimization-summary.md):

Check metrics import:

// ❌ WRONG
import { incrementCounter, observeHistogram } from '@repo/observability';

// ✅ CORRECT
import { metrics } from '@repo/observability';
metrics.incrementCounter('metric_name', labels);

Rebuild:

cd ts/packages/scanner-framework
pnpm build

High Memory Usage

Problem: Scanner service using > 500MB memory

Solution:

Check quote cache size:

// In QuoteStreamHandler
console.log('Cache size:', this.quoteCache.size);

Reduce cache TTL:

private maxCacheAgeMs: number = 3000; // 3 seconds instead of 5

Monitor cleanup:

// Ensure cleanupStaleQuotes() is running
setInterval(() => this.cleanupStaleQuotes(), 5000); // Every 5s
