ETH Global Delhi 2025 - Trailing Stop Order System

Comprehensive Project Description

🎯 PROJECT OVERVIEW

This is a sophisticated Trailing Stop Order System built for the ETH Global Delhi 2025 hackathon. The project implements an advanced DeFi trading mechanism that automatically adjusts stop-loss prices as market conditions move favorably, providing intelligent risk management and profit protection for cryptocurrency traders.

🔧 CORE FUNCTIONALITY

What is a Trailing Stop Order?

A trailing stop order is an advanced trading strategy that automatically adjusts your stop-loss price as the market moves in your favor. It "trails" behind the current market price, protecting your profits while allowing for continued upside potential.

Key Benefits:

  • Risk Management: Automatically protects against sudden price reversals
  • Profit Protection: Locks in gains as prices move favorably
  • Emotion-Free Trading: Executes automatically without manual intervention
  • Flexible Strategy: Works for both buying and selling scenarios

How Trailing Stop Price Adjustment Works

For SELL Orders (Profit Protection):

Stop Price = Current Market Price - Trailing Distance
  • Direction: Stop price only moves UP (never down)
  • Purpose: Protects profits as price rises
  • Trigger: Executes when price falls below the trailing stop

For BUY Orders (Entry Protection):

Stop Price = Current Market Price + Trailing Distance
  • Direction: Stop price only moves DOWN (never up)
  • Purpose: Protects against price increases
  • Trigger: Executes when price rises above the trailing stop

🏗️ TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE

    • Implements dynamic stop price calculation
    • Handles dual Chainlink oracle integration
    • Provides TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) protection
    • Manages price history and volatility metrics
    • Supports both BUY and SELL order types

Architecture Flow

User Creates Order → TrailingStopOrder Contract → Chainlink Keeper Monitors → Price Movement Detected → Order Executed via 1inch

🔄 TRAILING STOP MECHANISM

Core Logic Implementation

The system implements sophisticated trailing stop logic with the following key principles:

  1. One-Way Movement Rule

    • SELL Orders: Stop price only moves UP (never down)
    • BUY Orders: Stop price only moves DOWN (never up)
    • Why: Ensures the stop price always moves in the user's favor

  2. Trailing Distance Calculation

    // For SELL orders
newStopPrice = currentPrice - (currentPrice * trailingDistance / 10000)

// For BUY orders  
newStopPrice = currentPrice + (currentPrice * trailingDistance / 10000)

  3. Trigger Conditions

    // For SELL orders
if (currentPrice <= stopPrice) {
    executeOrder(); // Sell at current price
}

// For BUY orders
if (currentPrice >= stopPrice) {
    executeOrder(); // Buy at current price
}

Advanced Features

  1. Dual Oracle System

    • Uses both maker and taker asset oracles for price validation
    • Provides manipulation resistance through cross-validation
    • Implements heartbeat checks for stale price protection

  2. TWAP Protection

    • Time-Weighted Average Price calculation with adaptive windows
    • Outlier detection and median filtering
    • Volatility-based window adjustment
    • Price deviation validation

  3. Gas Optimization

    • Efficient storage patterns
    • Batch processing capabilities
    • Optimized price history management
    • Minimal gas consumption for updates

📊 TRADING SCENARIOS & EXAMPLES

Scenario 1: SELL Order - ETH/USDC (Profit Protection)

Setup:

  • Current ETH Price: $2,000
  • Holdings: 5 ETH
  • Trailing Distance: 3% (300 basis points)
  • Initial Stop Price: $1,940

Price Movement Simulation:

Day 1: ETH rises to $2,100
Stop Price: $1,940 → $2,037 ✅ (moves UP)

Day 2: ETH rises to $2,200  
Stop Price: $2,037 → $2,134 ✅ (moves UP)

Day 3: ETH rises to $2,300
Stop Price: $2,134 → $2,231 ✅ (moves UP)

Day 4: ETH drops to $2,150
Current Price ($2,150) < Stop Price ($2,231) → ORDER TRIGGERS! 🚨
Execution: Sell 5 ETH at ~$2,150 = $10,750 USDC

Result: Protected profit even though ETH dropped from $2,300 to $2,150.

Scenario 2: BUY Order - ETH/USDC (Entry Protection)

Setup:

  • Current ETH Price: $2,000
  • Capital: 10,000 USDC
  • Trailing Distance: 3%
  • Initial Stop Price: $2,060

Price Movement Simulation:

Day 1: ETH drops to $1,900
Stop Price: $2,060 → $1,957 ✅ (moves DOWN)

Day 2: ETH drops to $1,800
Stop Price: $1,957 → $1,854 ✅ (moves DOWN)

Day 3: ETH drops to $1,700
Stop Price: $1,854 → $1,751 ✅ (moves DOWN)

Day 4: ETH rises to $1,800
Current Price ($1,800) > Stop Price ($1,751) → ORDER TRIGGERS! 🚨
Execution: Buy ETH at ~$1,800 with 10,000 USDC = ~5.56 ETH

Result: Ensured good entry price even though ETH rose from $1,700 to $1,800.

🧮 SOPHISTICATED MATHEMATICAL IMPLEMENTATIONS

1. Advanced TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) Calculation

The Challenge: Prevent price manipulation through sophisticated averaging techniques.

Our Solution: Multi-layered TWAP with outlier detection and adaptive windows.

function _calculateSophisticatedTWAP(PriceHistory[] storage history, uint256 twapWindow)
    internal view returns (uint256)
{
    uint256 cutoffTime = block.timestamp - twapWindow;
    
    // Collect valid prices within window
    uint256[] memory validPrices = new uint256[](history.length);
    uint256 validCount = 0;
    
    for (uint256 i = 0; i < history.length; i++) {
        if (history[i].timestamp >= cutoffTime) {
            validPrices[validCount] = history[i].price;
            validCount++;
        }
    }
    
    // Apply outlier detection and median filtering
    uint256[] memory filteredPrices = _filterOutliers(validPrices, validCount);
    
    // Calculate median price for additional manipulation protection
    uint256 medianPrice = _calculateMedian(filteredPrices, filteredPrices.length);
    
    // Calculate time-weighted average of filtered prices
    uint256 timeWeightedPrice = _calculateTimeWeightedAverage(history, cutoffTime, medianPrice);
    
    // Return weighted average of median and time-weighted price for robustness
    return (medianPrice + timeWeightedPrice) / 2;
}

Statistical Outlier Detection:

function _filterOutliers(uint256[] memory prices, uint256 count) 
    internal pure returns (uint256[] memory) 
{
    if (count <= 2) return prices; // Return original for small datasets
    
    uint256 median = _calculateMedian(prices, count);
    
    uint256[] memory filtered = new uint256[](count);
    uint256 filteredCount = 0;
    
    for (uint256 i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        uint256 deviation = prices[i] > median
            ? (prices[i] - median) * _SLIPPAGE_DENOMINATOR / median
            : (median - prices[i]) * _SLIPPAGE_DENOMINATOR / median;
        
        // Keep prices within 15% of median
        if (deviation <= 1500) {
            filtered[filteredCount] = prices[i];
            filteredCount++;
        }
    }
    
    return filtered;
}

Adaptive Window Calculation:

function _updateTWAPMetrics(bytes32 orderHash, uint256 currentPrice) internal {
    TWAPMetrics storage metrics = twapMetrics[orderHash];
    
    if (block.timestamp - metrics.lastUpdateTime >= 300 || history.length % 10 == 0) {
        if (history.length >= 3) {
            // Calculate volatility and price range
            uint256 totalDeviation = 0;
            for (uint256 i = 0; i < history.length; i++) {
                uint256 deviation = currentPrice > history[i].price
                    ? (currentPrice - history[i].price) * _SLIPPAGE_DENOMINATOR / currentPrice
                    : (history[i].price - currentPrice) * _SLIPPAGE_DENOMINATOR / currentPrice;
                totalDeviation += deviation;
            }
            
            metrics.volatility = totalDeviation / history.length;
            
            // Calculate adaptive window based on volatility
            if (metrics.volatility > 500) {        // > 5% volatility
                metrics.adaptiveWindow = _DEFAULT_TWAP_WINDOW * 2; // 30 minutes
            } else if (metrics.volatility > 200) {  // > 2% volatility
                metrics.adaptiveWindow = _DEFAULT_TWAP_WINDOW * 3 / 2; // 22.5 minutes
            } else {
                metrics.adaptiveWindow = _DEFAULT_TWAP_WINDOW; // 15 minutes
            }
        }
    }
}

2. Precision Decimal Handling with Math.mulDiv

The Challenge: Handle multiple token decimals (6, 8, 18) without precision loss.

Our Solution: Normalize everything to 18 decimals using OpenZeppelin's Math.mulDiv for precision.

function _calculateMakingAmountWithDecimals(
    uint256 takingAmount,
    uint256 currentPrice,
    TrailingStopConfig memory config
) internal pure returns (uint256) {
    // Normalize taking amount to 18 decimals
    uint256 normalizedTakingAmount = _normalizeTo18Decimals(takingAmount, config.takerAssetDecimals);
    
    // Calculate making amount in 18 decimals using Math.mulDiv for precision
    // Formula: makingAmount = (takingAmount * 1e18) / currentPrice
    uint256 makingAmount18 = Math.mulDiv(normalizedTakingAmount, 1e18, currentPrice);
    
    // Convert back to maker asset decimals
    return _convertFrom18Decimals(makingAmount18, config.makerAssetDecimals);
}

function _normalizeTo18Decimals(uint256 amount, uint8 decimals) internal pure returns (uint256) {
    if (decimals == 18) {
        return amount;
    } else if (decimals < 18) {
        uint256 scaleFactor = 10 ** (18 - decimals);
        // Check for overflow before multiplication
        if (amount > type(uint256).max / scaleFactor) {
            revert InvalidTokenDecimals();
        }
        return amount * scaleFactor;
    } else {
        uint256 scaleFactor = 10 ** (decimals - 18);
        return amount / scaleFactor;
    }
}

3. Trailing Stop Price Calculation

The Core Algorithm: Dynamic stop price adjustment based on market movements.

function _calculateTrailingStopPrice(
    uint256 currentPrice, 
    uint256 trailingDistance, 
    OrderType orderType
) internal pure returns (uint256) {
    // Calculate the trailing amount: currentPrice * trailingDistance / 10000
    uint256 trailingAmount = (currentPrice * trailingDistance) / _SLIPPAGE_DENOMINATOR;
    
    if (orderType == OrderType.SELL) {
        // For sell orders: stop price = current price - trailing amount
        return currentPrice - trailingAmount;
    } else {
        // For buy orders: stop price = current price + trailing amount
        return currentPrice + trailingAmount;
    }
}

⚡ GAS OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES

1. Efficient Storage Patterns

Packed Structs: Minimize storage slots by packing related data.

struct TrailingStopConfig {
    AggregatorV3Interface makerAssetOracle;  // 20 bytes
    AggregatorV3Interface takerAssetOracle;  // 20 bytes
    uint256 initialStopPrice;               // 32 bytes
    uint256 trailingDistance;               // 32 bytes
    uint256 currentStopPrice;               // 32 bytes
    uint256 configuredAt;                   // 32 bytes
    uint256 lastUpdateAt;                   // 32 bytes
    uint256 updateFrequency;                // 32 bytes
    uint256 maxSlippage;                    // 32 bytes
    uint256 maxPriceDeviation;              // 32 bytes
    uint256 twapWindow;                     // 32 bytes
    address keeper;                         // 20 bytes
    address orderMaker;                     // 20 bytes
    OrderType orderType;                    // 1 byte
    uint8 makerAssetDecimals;               // 1 byte
    uint8 takerAssetDecimals;               // 1 byte
    // Total: ~400 bytes (13 storage slots)
}

2. Batch Processing for Gas Efficiency

Keeper Batch Updates: Process multiple orders in single transaction.

function performUpkeep(bytes calldata checkData) external override {
    bytes32[] memory orderHashes = abi.decode(checkData, (bytes32[]));
    
    // Process multiple orders in single transaction
    for (uint256 i = 0; i < orderHashes.length; i++) {
        // Skip if already processed in this batch
        if (processedOrders[orderHashes[i]]) continue;
        
        try this._processOrder(orderHashes[i]) {
            processedOrders[orderHashes[i]] = true;
            ordersUpdated++;
        } catch {
            // Continue processing other orders
        }
    }
    
    // Clear processed orders mapping for next batch
    for (uint256 i = 0; i < orderHashes.length; i++) {
        delete processedOrders[orderHashes[i]];
    }
}

3. Efficient Price History Management

In-Place Array Cleanup: Remove old entries without creating new arrays.

function _updatePriceHistory(bytes32 orderHash, uint256 price) internal {
    PriceHistory[] storage history = priceHistories[orderHash];
    uint256 cutoffTime = block.timestamp - twapWindow;
    
    // Enhanced cleanup: remove old entries more efficiently
    uint256 writeIndex = 0;
    for (uint256 i = 0; i < history.length; i++) {
        if (history[i].timestamp >= cutoffTime) {
            if (writeIndex != i) {
                history[writeIndex] = history[i]; // Move valid entry
            }
            writeIndex++;
        }
    }
    
    // Resize array by popping excess elements
    while (history.length > writeIndex) {
        history.pop();
    }
    
    // Add new price entry
    history.push(PriceHistory({price: price, timestamp: block.timestamp}));
}

4. Bit Manipulation for Nonce Management

SeriesEpochManager: Efficient nonce management using bit operations.

contract SeriesEpochManager {
    mapping(uint256 seriesId => uint256 epoch) private _epochs;
    
    function epoch(address maker, uint96 series) public view returns (uint256) {
        // Pack maker address and series into single storage slot
        return _epochs[uint160(maker) | (uint256(series) << 160)];
    }
    
    function advanceEpoch(uint96 series, uint256 amount) public {
        if (amount == 0 || amount > 255) revert AdvanceEpochFailed();
        unchecked {
            uint256 key = uint160(msg.sender) | (uint256(series) << 160);
            uint256 newEpoch = _epochs[key] + amount;
            _epochs[key] = newEpoch;
        }
    }
}

🛡️ SECURITY IMPLEMENTATIONS

1. Multi-Layer Access Control

Role-Based Permissions: Different access levels for different functions.

modifier onlyKeeper(bytes32 orderHash) {
    TrailingStopConfig memory config = trailingStopConfigs[orderHash];
    if (config.keeper != address(0) && config.keeper != msg.sender) {
        revert OnlyKeeper();
    }
    _;
}

// Restrict to 1inch Limit Order Protocol
if (msg.sender != limitOrderProtocol) {
    revert OnlyLimitOrderProtocol();
}

2. Oracle Manipulation Protection

Dual Oracle Validation: Cross-check prices from multiple sources.

function _getCurrentPriceSecure(
    AggregatorV3Interface makerAssetOracle, 
    AggregatorV3Interface takerAssetOracle
) internal view returns (uint256) {
    // Validate both oracles
    (, int256 makerPrice,, uint256 makerUpdatedAt,) = makerAssetOracle.latestRoundData();
    (, int256 takerPrice,, uint256 takerUpdatedAt,) = takerAssetOracle.latestRoundData();
    
    // Check for positive prices
    if (makerPrice <= 0 || takerPrice <= 0) revert InvalidOraclePrice();
    
    // Check for stale prices
    if (makerUpdatedAt + heartbeat < block.timestamp) revert StaleOraclePrice();
    if (takerUpdatedAt + heartbeat < block.timestamp) revert StaleOraclePrice();
    
    // Calculate relative price with precision
    return Math.mulDiv(uint256(makerPrice), 10 ** _PRICE_DECIMALS, uint256(takerPrice));
}

3. Slippage Protection

Real-Time Slippage Calculation: Monitor slippage during execution.

function _calculateSlippage(uint256 expectedPrice, uint256 actualPrice) 
    internal pure returns (uint256) 
{
    if (expectedPrice == 0) return 0;
    
    uint256 priceDifference = expectedPrice > actualPrice 
        ? expectedPrice - actualPrice 
        : actualPrice - expectedPrice;
    
    return (priceDifference * _SLIPPAGE_DENOMINATOR) / expectedPrice;
}

// Validate slippage before execution
uint256 slippage = _calculateSlippage(expectedPrice, currentPrice);
if (slippage > config.maxSlippage) {
    revert SlippageExceeded();
}

4. Reentrancy Protection

NonReentrant Guards: Protect against reentrancy attacks.

function takerInteraction(...) external nonReentrant whenNotPaused {
    // Critical execution logic protected by reentrancy guard
    // and pause functionality
}

🔧 PARTICULARLY HACKY IMPLEMENTATIONS

1. Self-Calling Pattern for Try-Catch

The Problem: Solidity doesn't allow try-catch on internal functions.

Our Hacky Solution: Use external self-calls with authorization checks.

function _processOrder(bytes32 orderHash) external returns (bool updated) {
    // Only allow self-calls
    if (msg.sender != address(this)) {
        revert UnauthorizedCaller();
    }
    
    // Update trailing stop price with try-catch
    try trailingStopOrder.updateTrailingStop(orderHash) {
        updated = true;
    } catch {
        updated = false;
    }
    
    return updated;
}

// Call the external function from within the contract
try this._processOrder(orderHash) {
    processedOrders[orderHash] = true;
    ordersUpdated++;
} catch {
    // Order processing failed, continue to next order
}

2. Dynamic Array Resizing Without New Arrays

The Problem: Removing old price history entries efficiently.

Our Hacky Solution: In-place array manipulation with writeIndex.

function _updatePriceHistory(bytes32 orderHash, uint256 price) internal {
    PriceHistory[] storage history = priceHistories[orderHash];
    uint256 cutoffTime = block.timestamp - twapWindow;
    
    // Use writeIndex to compact array in-place
    uint256 writeIndex = 0;
    for (uint256 i = 0; i < history.length; i++) {
        if (history[i].timestamp >= cutoffTime) {
            if (writeIndex != i) {
                history[writeIndex] = history[i]; // Move valid entry
            }
            writeIndex++;
        }
    }
    
    // Pop excess elements (gas efficient)
    while (history.length > writeIndex) {
        history.pop();
    }
    
    // Add new entry
    history.push(PriceHistory({price: price, timestamp: block.timestamp}));
}

3. Bit Packing for Efficient Storage

The Problem: Minimize storage slots for nonce management.

Our Hacky Solution: Pack address and series into single storage slot.

function epoch(address maker, uint96 series) public view returns (uint256) {
    // Pack 160-bit address + 96-bit series into 256-bit key
    return _epochs[uint160(maker) | (uint256(series) << 160)];
}

function advanceEpoch(uint96 series, uint256 amount) public {
    unchecked {
        // Create packed key
        uint256 key = uint160(msg.sender) | (uint256(series) << 160);
        uint256 newEpoch = _epochs[key] + amount;
        _epochs[key] = newEpoch;
    }
}

4. Conditional External Calls in Amount Calculation

The Problem: Support both external amount getters and linear formulas.

Our Hacky Solution: Use extraData length to determine calculation method.

function _getMakingAmount(...) internal view virtual returns (uint256) {
    if (extraData.length >= 20) {
        // First 20 bytes contain external getter address
        return IAmountGetter(address(bytes20(extraData))).getMakingAmount(
            order, extension, orderHash, taker, takingAmount, remainingMakingAmount, extraData[20:]
        );
    } else {
        // Use linear formula: makingAmount = (takingAmount * order.makingAmount) / order.takingAmount
        return order.makingAmount.mulDiv(takingAmount, order.takingAmount);
    }
}

🧪 COMPREHENSIVE TESTING STRATEGY

1. Foundry Testing Framework

Gas Snapshot Testing: Monitor gas usage across changes.

function testGasUsageUpdate() public {
    // Arrange
    bytes32 orderHash = createOrderHash("gas-update");
    TrailingStopOrder.TrailingStopConfig memory config = createTrailingStopConfig(...);
    
    vm.prank(maker);
    trailingStopOrder.configureTrailingStop(orderHash, config);
    
    // Act
    vm.prank(keeper);
    uint256 gasStart = gasleft();
    trailingStopOrder.updateTrailingStop(orderHash);
    uint256 gasUsed = gasStart - gasleft();
    
    // Assert
    assertTrue(gasUsed < 100000, "Gas usage should be reasonable");
}

2. Fuzzing and Invariant Testing

Property-Based Testing: Test with random inputs.

function testFuzzTrailingStopCalculation(
    uint256 currentPrice,
    uint256 trailingDistance,
    TrailingStopOrder.OrderType orderType
) public {
    vm.assume(currentPrice > 0 && currentPrice < type(uint128).max);
    vm.assume(trailingDistance >= 50 && trailingDistance <= 2000);
    
    uint256 result = trailingStopOrder._calculateTrailingStopPrice(
        currentPrice, trailingDistance, orderType
    );
    
    if (orderType == TrailingStopOrder.OrderType.SELL) {
        assertTrue(result < currentPrice, "Sell stop price should be below current price");
    } else {
        assertTrue(result > currentPrice, "Buy stop price should be above current price");
    }
}

3. Mainnet Fork Testing

Real-World Integration: Test with actual contracts and tokens.

function testMainnetIntegration() public {
    // Fork mainnet at specific block
    vm.createSelectFork("https://eth-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/YOUR_API_KEY");
    
    // Use real contracts
    address WBTC = 0x2260FAC5E5542a773Aa44fBCfeDf7C193bc2C599;
    address USDC = 0xA0b86a33E6441c8C06DDD5d8c4c1B3D4e8c4B3D4;
    
    // Test with real tokens and oracles
    deal(WBTC, maker, 1e8); // 1 WBTC
    deal(USDC, taker, 120000e6); // 120k USDC
    
    // Execute real order flow
    // ...
}
