v3.5.6: Critical Event System and Bracket Order Fixes

[TexasCoding]

Summary

• Fixed multi-instrument event system with proper event forwarding
• Implemented automatic price alignment for bracket orders
• Updated all advanced trading examples to work correctly

Key Changes

Event System Fixes

• Implemented event forwarding from instrument-specific EventBuses to suite-level EventBus
• Added on(), once(), off(), and wait_for() methods to InstrumentContext
• Fixed event propagation that was breaking mnq_context.wait_for(EventType.NEW_BAR)
• Events now properly flow from individual instruments to the suite level

Bracket Order Improvements

• Changed validation behavior from failing to auto-aligning prices to tick size
• Orders with misaligned prices are now automatically corrected
• Improved user experience with transparent price handling

Example Scripts

• Fixed all 4 advanced trading examples with proper async patterns
• Corrected OrderBook API method usage
• Fixed real-time data streaming bar access
• Updated TypedDict field access to use bracket notation

Test Suite

• Fixed 30 failing tests to match new correct behavior
• Updated event system tests to verify forwarding
• Modified price alignment tests for auto-correction
• Added event_bus parameter to InstrumentContext tests

Test Results

All tests passing: 3110 passed ✅

Breaking Changes

None - fully backward compatible

PR Review: v3.5.6 Event System and Bracket Order Fixes

✅ Overall Assessment: APPROVE

This PR delivers critical fixes to core functionality with excellent architectural improvements. The changes are well-implemented, thoroughly tested, and maintain backward compatibility.

---

🎯 Key Strengths

Event System Improvements

• Excellent architecture: The forward_to() method (event_bus.py:392-407) provides clean event propagation from instrument buses to suite-level
• Clean API: InstrumentContext now properly exposes on(), once(), off(), and wait_for() methods
• Proper async patterns: All event handlers use async/await consistently
• Error handling: Robust error handling in _execute_handler() with error event emission

Bracket Order Enhancements

• Smart price alignment: Auto-correction instead of validation failures greatly improves UX
• Robust error recovery: Comprehensive rollback mechanisms in bracket_orders.py:620-632
• Emergency safeguards: Critical position protection with emergency closure on protective order failures
• Proper logging: Excellent log messages for debugging and monitoring

Example Quality

• Production-ready: Advanced examples show real-world usage patterns
• Error handling: Proper exception handling with fallback values
• Performance optimized: Efficient indicator calculations using Polars pipe method
• Well documented: Clear docstrings and inline comments

🔍 Technical Analysis

Event System Architecture

# Elegant forwarding implementation
async def forward_to(self, target_bus: "EventBus") -> None:
    async def forwarder(event: Event) -> None:
        await target_bus.emit(event.type, event.data, event.source)
    await self.on_any(forwarder)

This is a clean, efficient solution that avoids complex event routing logic.

Price Alignment Logic

The automatic price alignment in align_price_to_tick_size() is well-implemented:

• Uses Decimal for precision arithmetic
• Handles various contract ID formats
• Graceful degradation on errors
• Proper caching for performance

Test Coverage

• 3110 passing tests demonstrates comprehensive coverage
• New event forwarding tests validate core functionality
• Multi-instrument tests ensure system integration
• Test patterns follow TDD best practices

💡 Minor Suggestions

Performance Considerations

1. Event forwarding overhead: Consider batch forwarding for high-frequency events if needed
2. Cache warming: Tick size cache could be pre-warmed for active instruments
3. Memory monitoring: Event history is limited to 1000 events, which is good

Code Quality Improvements

1. Type hints: Some methods could benefit from more specific return types
2. Constants: Magic numbers (like retry counts) could be configurable constants
3. Logging levels: Consider using structured logging for better observability

Documentation

1. Migration guide: Consider adding examples of before/after event handling patterns
2. Performance notes: Document the memory and CPU impact of event forwarding
3. Troubleshooting: Add common event system debugging techniques

🛡️ Security & Safety Assessment

✅ Security Strengths

• No credential exposure in logs
• Proper error message sanitization
• Safe exception handling without information leakage
• Input validation on all price parameters

✅ Financial Safety

• Critical: Emergency position closure on bracket order failures
• Proper order state validation before operations
• Comprehensive rollback mechanisms
• Position size validation and limits

---

📊 Performance Impact

Positive

• Reduced API calls through price alignment caching
• Efficient event propagation without message duplication
• Optimized indicator calculations in examples

Negligible Overhead

• Event forwarding adds minimal latency
• Price alignment caching reduces repeated API calls
• Memory usage is well-controlled with limits

📋 Compliance Check

Repository Guidelines Adherence

• ✅ Maintains async-first architecture
• ✅ Follows semantic versioning (v3.5.6)
• ✅ Backward compatibility preserved
• ✅ Uses standardized error handling
• ✅ Proper deprecation patterns (none needed here)

Code Standards

• ✅ Consistent formatting and style
• ✅ Comprehensive docstrings
• ✅ Type hints where appropriate
• ✅ Proper error handling hierarchy

---

🎯 Final Recommendation

APPROVE - This PR successfully addresses critical functionality gaps while maintaining high code quality standards. The event system fixes enable proper multi-instrument usage, and the bracket order improvements provide better user experience through automatic price alignment.

Key Achievements

1. ✅ Fixed multi-instrument event propagation
