🟡 Tokenization System for LLM Input

[iAmGiG]

Overview

Design and implement dynamic tokenization system in src/tokenization/ to convert continuous market metrics into discrete sequences optimized for LLM pattern analysis.

Tasks

• Create tokenization modules in src/tokenization/
• Implement adaptive binning based on rolling percentiles
• Handle multiple data types (price, GEX, volume)
• Generate consistent token vocabulary with clear definitions
• Create multi-timeframe sequence generator
• Build temporal sequences of varying lengths (5, 10, 20 days)
• Include context tokens (days_to_opex, days_since_fomc)
• Handle missing/sparse data gracefully
• Optimize for GPT-4o-mini/GPT-4o context window limits
• Integrate with existing data obfuscation tools (src/validation/)
• Implement sequence validation framework

Token Vocabulary Design

# GEX States (percentile-based)
GEX_TOKENS = [
    'GEX_EXTREME_NEG',  # < 10th percentile
    'GEX_MOD_NEG',      # 10-40th percentile  
    'GEX_NEUTRAL',      # 40-60th percentile
    'GEX_MOD_POS',      # 60-90th percentile
    'GEX_EXTREME_POS'   # > 90th percentile
]

# Price Movement States
PRICE_TOKENS = [
    'CRASH',      # < -3%
    'BIG_DOWN',   # -3% to -1%
    'SMALL_DOWN', # -1% to -0.25%
    'FLAT',       # -0.25% to 0.25%
    'SMALL_UP',   # 0.25% to 1%
    'BIG_UP',     # 1% to 3%
    'MOON'        # > 3%
]

# Market Events
EVENT_TOKENS = [
    'CROSS_FLIP',        # GEX crosses zero
    'BREAK_CALL_WALL',   # Price breaks above call wall
    'BREAK_PUT_SUPPORT', # Price breaks below put support
    'VOL_SPIKE',         # VIX > 20% daily move
    'OPEX_WEEK',         # Options expiration week
    'FOMC_WEEK'          # Federal Reserve meeting week
]

Sequence Builder Format

# Example sequences for pattern mining
sequences = [
    ['GEX_NEG', 'CROSS_FLIP', 'BIG_DOWN', 'VOL_SPIKE', '->', 'CRASH'],
    ['GEX_EXTREME_POS', 'BREAK_CALL_WALL', 'OPEX_WEEK', '->', 'BIG_DOWN'],
    ['GEX_NEUTRAL', 'FOMC_WEEK', 'FLAT', 'FLAT', '->', 'VOL_SPIKE']
]

Adaptive Binning Implementation

• Use rolling 252-day windows for percentile calculation
• Update thresholds monthly to adapt to changing market regimes
• Handle regime changes (2020 COVID, 2022 rate hikes)
• Validate token stability over time

Acceptance Criteria

• Clean modular structure in src/tokenization/ directory
• Well-defined token vocabulary with statistical backing
• Multi-timeframe sequence generation capability (5, 10, 20 day lookbacks)
• Robust handling of data gaps and missing values
• Optimized token efficiency for LLM context windows
• Integration with obfuscation tools for research integrity
• Context-aware sequences including market events
• Validation of sequence integrity and meaning
• Comprehensive documentation of tokenization schema

Implementation Notes

• Directory: src/tokenization/ (created during reorganization)
• Integrate with src/validation/data_obfuscation.py for LLM testing
• Target models: GPT-4o-mini (primary), GPT-4o (fallback)
• Focus on dealer hedging patterns in tokenized sequences
• Enable multi-timeframe pattern discovery beyond single indicators
• Use existing cache system for performance optimization
