Bug Details

Bug 1 - Pydantic validator for bridge_auth_token (src/config/settings.py)

Added @validator('bridge_auth_token') to MT5Settings that raises ValueError when bridge_enabled or streaming_enabled is True but the token is empty/whitespace-only.

Bug 2 - MT5_TERMINAL_PATH quoting (.env.example)

Hardened from bare backslashes to: MT5_TERMINAL_PATH="C:\\Program Files\\MetaTrader 5\\terminal64.exe"

Bug 3 - benchmark_tickers None crash (src/backtest/backtest_engine.py)

• Normalized to [] in BacktestConfig.__post_init__
• Added early return guard in _get_benchmark_metrics

Bug 4 - benchmark_returns type (src/backtest/backtest_engine.py)

Changed from Dict[str, float] back to Dict[str, pd.Series] with actual return series from pct_change().dropna().

Bug 5 - main.py import path consistency (src/main.py)

Changed from src.trading.all_in_one -> from trading.all_in_one and from src.run_trading -> from run_trading to match the sys.path.insert(0, str(Path(__file__).parent)) convention.

Bug 6 - StrategyConfig metadata field (src/strategies/base_strategy.py)

Added metadata: Dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict) to enable named strategies to pass configuration metadata.

Bug 7 - print() to logger (src/strategies/execution_engine.py)

Replaced print(f'[CLOSE-ONLY]...') in ExecutionManager.step with logging.getLogger(f'{__name__}.{self.__class__.__name__}').info(...).

Bug 8 - Clean up unused imports (src/backtest/backtest_engine.py)

Removed import os and import sys; added module docstring.

Bug 9 - Excessive blank lines (src/data/data_processor.py)

Collapsed runs of 3+ consecutive blank lines to at most 2 (PEP8). File reduced from 14,454 to 13,972 chars.
