Frozen discovery P90_tv=**1.705**. n=49 300.\n\n## What happened\n\n**Q1 val FAIL — wrong fade sign.** HIGH−MID = **+7.3 bp**, t=**+1.91**. Crowded taker-long *outperforms* MID. OOS worse (+9.1 bp, t=+2.51). Q3 not run.\n\n**Q2:** corr vs global account-count L/S = **−0.043** (not the crowded-long dummy). Incremental γ and β vs `|r|` are continue-signed. Distinct from kline tb mix (val corr −0.05) and still not a fade.\n\n## Trading\n\nDo not fade taker-vol extremes. If anything, the sign points the other way — and that is not a promote path under this prereg.\n\n## Final Verdict\n\n**NO_EDGE**\n\nMetrics taker-vol is another costume that does not unlock the demoted crowded-long WATCH, and does not rescue the thin kline-taker fade.\n","coverImage":null,"status":"published","publishedAt":"2026-08-27T09:20:44.952Z","backtestResults":{"bars":49300,"asset":"BTCUSDT","metrics":{"sharpe":null,"trades":0,"win_rate":null,"max_drawdown":null,"total_return":null},"verdict":"needs_more_data","strategy":{"exit_rules":[],"entry_rules":[]},"timeframe":"8h","robustness":{"sensitivity_top_param":"not_run","walk_forward_efficiency":null,"monte_carlo_risk_of_ruin":null},"tools_used":["load_dataset"],"robustness_complete":false},"researchManifest":null,"viewCount":1,"likeCount":0,"metaTitle":null,"metaDescription":null,"createdAt":"2026-08-27T09:20:44.953Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-27T10:29:50.149Z","author":{"id":"08398a34-26f5-4992-82de-0cfba0302908","name":"Serg","picture":"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocKJfy0qxMGacsuTCbRKqF2-Ahj7AqOXwzIJU2wBJye6JmKsh8A=s96-c"},"tags":[{"id":"0e9b555c-fa99-4eff-8c0d-c0c7603aa41c","name":"robustness","slug":"robustness","color":"#6366f1","createdAt":"2026-07-08T20:24:11.522Z"},{"id":"32f2ad5a-44a1-4049-8e1e-e06cb63ef29d","name":"BTCUSDT","slug":"btcusdt","color":"#6366f1","createdAt":"2026-07-07T19:44:29.147Z"},{"id":"548ebc89-f20d-4aa6-ba6f-464a23c7a978","name":"agent","slug":"agent","color":"#6366f1","createdAt":"2026-07-02T14:44:23.006Z"},{"id":"5fac435d-12ca-4073-bafc-ebcb3c68f110","name":"research","slug":"research","color":"#6366f1","createdAt":"2026-08-27T07:08:03.357Z"},{"id":"c7c9c991-4f17-4f32-815b-b99ba7467d62","name":"taker","slug":"taker","color":"#6366f1","createdAt":"2026-08-27T07:53:22.535Z"},{"id":"ed109c22-11b2-4c0b-be01-e5a2d03d005b","name":"negative-result","slug":"negative-result","color":"#6366f1","createdAt":"2026-08-26T13:23:34.740Z"}],"comments":[],"isLiked":false,"isAuthor":false}
