+Revision ID: 004

+Create Date: 2025-12-26 14:30:00.000000
+
+This migration adds the settings table for managing user trading preferences,
+risk profiles, and alert configurations. Each user has exactly one Settings
+record (one-to-one relationship).
+
+Table: settings
+Columns:
+- id: Primary key, auto-increment
+- user_id: Foreign key to users.id (cascade delete, unique)
+- risk_profile: Risk tolerance profile (ENUM: CONSERVATIVE, MODERATE, AGGRESSIVE)
+- risk_score: Numeric risk score 0-10 (NUMERIC 5,2, default: 5.0)
+- max_position_pct: Max % of portfolio for single position (NUMERIC 5,2, default: 10.0)
+- max_portfolio_risk_pct: Max portfolio-wide risk % (NUMERIC 5,2, default: 2.0)
+- investment_horizon_years: Investment time horizon in years (INTEGER, default: 5)
+- alert_preferences: JSON config for notifications (TEXT/JSON, default: '{}')
+- created_at: Timestamp when created (auto)
+- updated_at: Timestamp when last updated (auto)
+
+Constraints:
+- UNIQUE (user_id): One settings per user (one-to-one)
+- CHECK risk_score >= 0 AND risk_score <= 10
+- CHECK max_position_pct >= 0 AND max_position_pct <= 100
+- CHECK max_portfolio_risk_pct >= 0 AND max_portfolio_risk_pct <= 100
+- CHECK investment_horizon_years >= 0
+
+Indexes:
+- ix_settings_user_id: Unique index on user_id (one-to-one lookup)
+
+Relationships:
+- settings.user_id -> users.id (CASCADE DELETE)
