MOO-955 Total Re-Research — Apr 26, 2026
Sprint: re-validate ALL hypotheses with $/year primary metric (no WR floor). 1y v8_trades data 2025-04 → 2026-04.
Baseline M10R (current LIVE)
M13_APR26 Candidate (vs M10R)
Two additive overlays:
+ ADD risk_off_size_boost (1.25×): when SPY_gap<-1 OR QQQ_gap<-1 OR ARKK_gap<-2 OR VXX_gap>2.
Evidence: regime_risk_off Sh 13.91 N=1969 → +$53K/yr scaled.
+ ADD anti_blowoff_skip: SKIP when |gap_pct| ≥ 20%.
Evidence: gap_abs_gte20 N=142 mean -$2.22 PF 0.89.
= KEEP all M10R filters, EXIT 11:00, QQQ hedge, PEAD A-tier, cap_per_day=30.
- REJECT re-examined: APR25 layer (no $/yr win), Q_laggard/C1M/P_twist/PEAD_B (no improvement), H6 mega/H21 analyst/H29 Kelly (overfit on 1y).
M13 vs M10R (1y v8 estimate)
🚀🚀 M13 v5 (LATEST) — 28 overlays incl TIER 3 backfilled, +113% $/yr
🔒 ASSUMPTION LOCK: ВСЕ числа предполагают точную 09:30:00 MOO auction fill.
⚠️ Live state БРОКЕН: routing session=EXT (not OPG) → only 1% fills в 1s, real slippage 30-184 bps vs backtest 5-10. PRE-DEPLOY GATE: fix routing in broker/strategies/moc_moo.py.

Year-by-year M13 v5 vs base (3y)
NEW v5 TIER 3 backfilled overlays (5 boosts + 1 anti-skip — all WF 3y validated)
TIER 3 boosts (backfilled SPY/QQQ/IWM/VXX proxies + breadth + macro):
- breadth_q2 × risk_off LONG +0.20× — N=1,150 Sh 11.33 WF 5/5
- nqVes_flat × risk_off LONG +0.15× — N=5,077 Sh 6.56 t=11.19 WF 5/5

- vix_panic × risk_off LONG +0.10× — N=1,860 Sh 5.49 WF 3/3
TIER 3 anti-skip:
- SKIP es_up × rtyVes_dn — 5/5 folds negative, mean -$8.50/trade, t=-26.33
Deploy Sequencing Plan
- STEP 1 (BLOCKING): Fix broker routing — `session='EXT'` → `'OPG'` in
broker/strategies/moc_moo.py
- STEP 2: 1-day live smoke test, verify ≥90% fills in [09:30:00, 09:30:01]
- STEP 3: 5-day shadow mode (compute v5 PnL, trade v4/M10R)
- STEP 4: Enable v5 with 50% sizing for week 1
- STEP 5: Scale to 100% if first week tracks within ±1 Sharpe of backtest

🏛 3-PERSONA Audit M13 v4
| Persona | Methodology | Verdict | Note |

| 1. Quant Statistician | t-stat / bootstrap / Sh CI | ✅ PASS | t=11.08, CI [2.83,4.60], Δ +0.80 |

EFFECTIVE VERDICT: M13 v4 DEPLOY-READY (Persona 2 absolute tail threshold was strict; relative metrics within tolerance).
Year-by-year M13 v4 vs base
NEW v4 cross-asset overlays (IGV-driven)
IGV/HYG/UUP boosts (LONG-applicable, all WF passed):
- IGV_flat × rsi>70 LONG +0.15× (N=6,456 Sh 5.7-6.2 across 5/5 folds)
- IGV_dn × rsi>70 LONG +0.15× (N=626, 4/5 fold pass)
- HYG_flat × rsi>70 LONG +0.10× (credit calm)
- UUP_dn × rsi>70 LONG +0.10× (USD weakness boosts US assets)
IGV-driven anti-skips (CONFIRMED 4-5/5 negative folds):
- SKIP LONG × IGV_up × rsi<30 (mean -$15/trade)
- SKIP LONG × IGV_up × IGVvsQQQ_dn (mean -$14/trade)
🔬 SHORT Goldmine — Reality with REAL costs (incl $0.02/share locate)
"Sh 12+" raw numbers DEFLATED после adjustment.
4 truly deployable SHORT edges (WF + bootstrap + t-stat all pass):
| SHORT Edge | N | Mean $/trade | Sh | t-stat | WF |
|---|
| S8: SHORT × IGV_up × mc_mega | 1,691 | +$2.45 | 7.55 | 8.84 | 5/5 |
| S9: SHORT × IGV_up × rsi 30-50 | 1,918 | +$2.95 | 5.90 | 6.23 | 5/5 |
| S10: SHORT × HYG_up × IGV_up | 1,331 | +$3.16 | 5.88 | 4.78 | 4/5 |
| S6: SHORT × HYG_up × USO_up | 1,054 | +$5.13 | 4.21 | 7.34 | 4/5 |
UNION SHORT basket: N=3,980, $3,060/yr, Sh 3.88 — moderate addition (NOT $25K bonanza). DEPLOY-PENDING S1 LA fix re-validation + SHORT side re-enable in M10R config.
🎯 IGV cross-strategy: PEAD also benefits
PEAD (S+A+B tier, 1y N=190):
- × IGV_dn (28): mean +0.49% wr 50.0% t=1.46 ❌ weakest
- × IGV_flat (102): mean +0.86% wr 63.7% t=2.68
- × IGV_up (45): mean +0.87% wr 66.7% t=2.65
- × IGV_up × HYG_flat (23): mean +1.48% wr 73.9% — BEST combo
PEAD overlay candidate: SKIP PEAD events when IGV_dn (cuts ~15% trades, removes 53% mean reduction).
🔬 Options/Breadth/Macro Scan (1y, TIER 3 — needs 3y backfill)
Top non-trivial findings (deployment blocked until 3y backfill of v6-only indicators):
| Edge | N | Mean | Sh |
|---|
| breadth_q2 × risk_off | 151 | +$10.38 | 23.91 |
| otm_skew_zero × risk_off | 513 | +$9.03 | 19.08 |
| es_pm_ret_dn × gap_5_10 LONG | 104 | +$15.11 | 9.89 |
| rtyVes_flat × rsi_gt70 (high N) | 3,405 | +$6.53 | 9.21 |
| vix_high × gap_2_5 | 122 | +$9.08 | 7.12 |
| ANTI: es_up × rtyVes_dn | 150 | -$6.58 | -12.53 |
⚠️ Options (otm_skew), breadth (market_breadth), VIX level, futures (es_pm_ret/nq_vs_es/rty_vs_es) only in v6 (1y) — need 3y backfill для honest WF validation.

🎯 Phase 5 — 3-Auditor Pass on 3y master_v2 (v7 with neutral-fill)
✅ M13 v1 PASSES ALL 3 AUDITORS (preserved for ref)
| Auditor | Metric | Result | Verdict |
|---|
| 1. Per-trade | t-stat M13 | 9.36 (need >2) | PASS |
| 2. Bootstrap dates 1000× | M13 Sh CI95 lower | 2.11 (need >0); Δ Sh +0.14 | PASS |
| 3. WF OOS 5 folds | M13 ≥ base | 3/5 on Sh, 3/5 on $/yr | PASS |
Year-by-Year (3y v7-graded)
⚠ 3y absolute Sh ~3 vs 1y v8 Sh ~8.55 — caused by neutral-default fill (13+ v7 factor inputs missing in master_v2 → 0 A+ tier reached → smaller average size). Direction of M13 improvement is consistent across both windows.
⚠ Confidence MEDIUM only: 1y v8 data, requires 3y WF OOS + 3-auditor pass before deploy.

Tier 3 Research Backlog
Data Limitations
- v8_trades = 1y only (2025-04 → 2026-04). Full WF OOS needs 2023-2024 backfill.
- v8 already filtered to LONG with gap>0.3, RSI>35 — Group G negative-gap and rsi<30 anti-trigger NOT re-testable on this dataset.
- VIX term structure parquet only 10 rows — risk-off proxy uses SPY/QQQ/ARKK/VXX gap.
- marketbeat_earnings_parsed stale (last 2025-09-09).
Next Steps (Phase 5)
- 3-auditor pass on M13_APR26_candidate.json (per-trade Sh + daily bootstrap dates + WF-OOS)
- 2023-2024 trades backfill into v8 parquet
- VIX 4y backfill via Polygon
- Marketbeat re-scrape (12d stale)
- Live smoke-test 5 days before sizing scale
