Saving market data for Redis cache adapter not supported

Error message

Saving market data for Redis cache adapter not supported

What it means

Sentinel error in the Redis cache adapter's add_order_book: persisting raw order book market data is intentionally unsupported by the Redis cache adapter (only positional/order/signal state is stored), so the call always fails with this message.

Solutions

1. Persist market data to the Parquet data catalog instead
2. Use a different cache adapter if market-data persistence is required
