TradePose Models

TradePose Models contains independently versioned Pydantic and Polars contracts shared by the public TradePose Client and private TradePose systems. It keeps serialized strategy, execution, result, and market-data shapes consistent across those boundaries.

Installation

Ordinary users should install only tradepose-client:

uv add 'tradepose-client==3.7.0' 'tradepose-models==2.12.0'

Models 2.12.0 is an Alpha minor-breaking release paired with Client 3.7.0. Client 3.6.1 permits this version in its dependency range but expects older billing shapes: preserve its lock or explicitly pin Models 2.11.1 until upgrading the pair.

If a package resolver reports a Models conflict, upgrade tradepose-client instead of guessing a Models version:

uv lock --upgrade-package tradepose-client
uv sync

Direct installation is intended only for maintainers of systems that implement the shared TradePose contracts.

Canonical research Workloads

Maintainers can import the closed research execution contract from tradepose_models.research. Workload and TaskSourceBinding use only the exact current typed schema and carry no schema-version field. They require the canonical-json-v1 and research-execution-v1 capability revisions; unknown, missing, legacy schema-version, and extra fields fail closed. Use canonical_workload_bytes() and canonical_task_source_binding_bytes() for transport, the typed ref helpers for content identity, and binding_requirements() to derive source roles solely from the Workload's MarketDataSpec.

Use validate_research_result_frame() at Python artifact boundaries to verify a typed ResearchTaskRequest, its kind-required Workload/Indicator manifests, exact physical Polars schema and nullability, indicator Struct fields, and canonical Policy row order. The validator intentionally does not cast: accepting a convertible dtype would hide a Worker wire-schema violation. Perform any desired data conversion only after canonical artifact admission, outside this contract check.

For trades, all 45 Core columns are mandatory in their producer order and retain their exact dtype through Parquet, including empty and all-null scenarios. The Worker adds only a non-null trailing policy_ref. Missing, extra, reordered, physical Null, or castable-but-wrong columns are rejected without compatibility fallback.

MarketDataSpec contains the complete direct/resampled source lineage and normalized indicator computation DAG. market_data_spec_from_compiled_graph() is the sole narrow projection from the validated authoring graph; it verifies every physical computation identity and preserves typed dependencies, selected multi-output fields, shift, and publication alignment. It is not a second runtime contract.

This package does not compile authoring sources, resolve catalogs, admit Tasks, or execute Workloads. Those remain separate service boundaries.

Task and expression compatibility

Models 2.12.0 includes immutable Task snapshots and closed failure projections for business_commit_unconfirmed and saved_result_publication_failed. Deploy matching Gateway/Worker task notification and snapshot contracts together. Expanded native Polars expression support also requires a matching Worker; package installation does not update server services or translate older schemas.

Billing and resource contracts

Plans require research_ingest_per_minute and task_slots. monthly_quota, max_concurrent_tasks, subscription usage_limit, and usage limit/remaining/percentage fields are removed. Usage telemetry remains. Models validates format, semantics and forbidden capabilities; server policy owns bounded resource refusals. Gzip changes transport/storage representation without changing computation identity.

Runtime requirements

• Python 3.13 or newer
• Pydantic 2.12.1 or newer
• Polars 1.33.1

Models is Alpha software. Its version is independent from the Client version, and contract-breaking changes may require a coordinated Client upgrade.
