+# 2026-06-19 — Sintesi ricerca post-reset (5 track) e verdetto
+
+Prima ondata di ricerca sui dati **certificati** BTC/ETH (Deribit mainnet, ~2 bps vs
+Coinbase USD), con harness onesto condiviso `src/backtest/harness.py` (ingresso eseguibile
+a `close[i]`, fee 0.10% RT, exit intrabar TP/SL, OOS/per-anno). Branch
+`strategy-research-2026-06`.
+
+## I 5 track
+
+| Track | Famiglia | Esito |
+|-------|----------|-------|
+| **A** | Trend/Momentum (TSMOM, Donchian, EMA, vol-scaled) | 5m/15m morti (fee); 1h = residuo reale ma celle singole non robuste |
+| **B** | ML walk-forward (logistic/GBM su feature di forma) | edge debole ma REALE su BTC (+83% OOS, Sharpe 0.57), ~+0.58 €/d su 2000 |
+| **C** | Mean-reversion / range (fade, RSI2, VWAP) | **MORTO** — negativo anche a fee=0. Conferma: la vecchia libreria fade era artefatto |
+| **D** | **Trend portfolio vol-targeted BTC+ETH** | ✅ **DEPLOYABLE** — robusto, positivo ogni anno |
+| **E** | Cross-sectional BTC↔ETH + ensemble | RV debole (muore a 1.5bps/gamba); ensemble dimezza il DD ma non alza il ritorno |
+
+## Il vincitore: Track D — trend portfolio (l'unico che guadagna in modo robusto)
+
+TSMOM multi-orizzonte (blend 1-3-6 mesi su barre 1h), **vol-targeting** (posizione ∝
+1/vol realizzata, target 20% annuo), portafoglio **50/50 BTC+ETH**, fee 0.10% RT. Un solo
+set di parametri per entrambi gli asset.
+
+- **LONG-SHORT 50/50:** CAGR +14.2%, **Sharpe 1.00**, maxDD 18.9%, positivo ogni anno 2019-2026.
+- **LONG-FLAT 50/50 (migliore risk-adj):** CAGR +15.9%, **Sharpe 1.32**, **maxDD 13.3%**.
+- Robusto: plateau di Sharpe ~1.0 su griglia target-vol/leva/orizzonti; regge fee fino a 0.40% RT;
+  su entrambi gli asset; **non** è un picco fortunato (a differenza delle "star" di Track A).
+- Tesi confermata: il valore del trend è **tagliare il drawdown** (B&H DD ~78% → trend DD ~13-19%)
+  con Sharpe ≥ B&H → si può scalare il rischio (target-vol) e diversificare BTC+ETH.
+- Caveat onesto: l'edge è più forte 2018-21 (Sharpe 1.63) che 2022-26 (Sharpe 0.57). Dimensionare
+  sul regime recente.
+
+## Il verdetto sul target €50/giorno
+
+Una strategia che **guadagna** in modo robusto ESISTE (Track D). Ma il target "€50/giorno
+medio partendo da 2000 in 1-2 anni" **non è raggiungibile onestamente**: sono ~2.5%/giorno.
+
+La leva NON è la scorciatoia (alza il DD verso la rovina). La vera leva è **target-vol +
+capitale + tempo**:
+
+| target-vol | leva usata | CAGR | Sharpe | maxDD | €/giorno (2k) |
+|-----------|-----------|------|--------|-------|---------------|
+| 20% | 0.23x | +14% | 1.00 | 19% | +0.73 |
+| 40% | 0.45x | +28% | 1.00 | 35% | +3.73 |
+| 60% | 0.68x | +40% | 1.00 | 48% | +7.96 |
+| 80% | 0.90x | +50% | 0.99 | 60% | +13.78 |
+
+Per **€50/giorno steady-state** servono ~**137k di capitale** (config conservativa, DD~19%),
+oppure DD da rovina. Partendo da 2000 a CAGR ~28% (target-vol 40%, DD 35%) il capitale che
+genera €50/giorno arriva in ~10-13 anni, non in 1-2.
+
+## Conclusione operativa
+
+1. **Esiste un edge dispiegabile e onesto**: il trend portfolio vol-targeted (Track D).
+   È il primo risultato robusto post-reset.
+2. **Non esiste alcuna scorciatoia** verso €50/giorno su 2000 in 1-2 anni con questi dati
+   (BTC/ETH 5m-1h). Il limite è strutturale: due asset, alta correlazione, fee.
+3. Prossimi passi onesti se si vuole alzare il soffitto: (a) dimensionare Track D a un
+   target-vol/DD tollerabile e farlo girare in paper, (b) cercare edge di **magnitudine
+   diversa** (non più diversificazione di edge deboli) — il che richiede dati che oggi non
+   abbiamo certificati (universo più ampio, microstruttura, funding/opzioni backtestabili).

+# 2026-06-19 — Track A: Trend / Momentum su BTC & ETH (dati certificati)
+
+Prima ricerca di strategie NUOVE post-reset (track A = trend/momentum). Tool:
+`scripts/research/trackA_trend.py` (harness onesto `src/backtest/harness.py`, fee 0.10% RT,
+IS/OOS 65/35, griglia su entrambi gli asset, fee sweep, stress leva). Run:
+`uv run python scripts/research/trackA_trend.py`.
+
+## Cosa è stato testato
+- **TSMOM** (segno del ritorno N-barre, hold H) long/short e long-only.
+- **EMA crossover** (fast/slow) come filtro di trend.
+- **Donchian breakout** (entry ONESTO: breakout rilevato con `close[i]`, fill a `close[i]`).
+- **Vol-scaled / regime-gated TSMOM** (momentum preso solo se |z| > gate, z = ritorno/vol).
+- Griglia ampia su **BTC e ETH**, **1h / 15m / 5m**. 480 celle OOS totali.
+
+Tutto entry-eseguibile: direzione e prezzo decisi con dati ≤ `close[i]`, fill a `close[i]`.
+Nessun uso di `returns[i]` (che codifica `close[i+1]`). Hold approssimato come catena di
+posizioni non sovrapposte di H barre (la fee si ammortizza su H barre — costo onesto).
+
+## Risultati — la fotografia onesta
+
+**Celle positive OOS per timeframe:**
+| TF | celle positive / totali |
+|----|----|
+| **1h**  | 39 / 160 |
+| **15m** | **0 / 160** |
+| **5m**  | **0 / 160** |
+
+→ **Trend intraday (5m/15m) è MORTO**: lo drag della fee (più trade = più 0.10% RT) annienta
+qualsiasi segnale. Drawdown 80-99%, Sharpe da −0.6 a −2.2. Niente da salvare.
+
+**Su 1h** c'è qualche cella positiva, ma il contesto la ridimensiona:
+- La finestra **OOS è un singolo regime**: il taglio 65% cade a **set/dic 2023**, quindi
+  l'OOS è ~2023→2026 (in gran parte toro 2024). Tutto il 2018-2022 (orso 2018, crash 2020,
+  toro 2021, orso 2022) è IN-SAMPLE. "Positivo OOS" qui ≈ "il trend ha fatto soldi nel toro 2024".
+- **Benchmark buy & hold sulla stessa finestra OOS**: BTC **+134%**, ETH **−21%**.
+  - Tutte le `TSMOM_LONG` e metà delle celle BTC fanno **MENO** del B&H → è **beta**, non edge.
+  - Le poche che battono il B&H lo fanno **solo su ETH** (dove il B&H era negativo): catturano
+    anche i ribassi. Quello è timing reale — ma vedi sotto.
+
+**Le "star":** VOLSCALED_TSMOM BTC 1h (N=20,H=48,vw=100,z=0.5) = +367% OOS, Sh 0.91, DD 32%,
+€/d(2k) +2.56; ETH 1h (N=20,H=48,vw=50,z=1.0) = +197% OOS, Sh 0.60. **MA sono celle fortunate:**
+i vicini di griglia crollano (stesso N/H, vw=50 invece di 100 → +21% invece di +367%; z=1.0 → +34%).
+Non è un altopiano robusto, è un picco isolato. E il P&L è concentrato nel 2024 (+110% su BTC),
+con 2025/2026 deboli o negativi per molte celle.
+
+**Consistenza cross-asset (un edge vero regge su ENTRAMBI):** su 480 celle, solo **2** sono
+positive OOS su BTC *e* ETH:
+- `TSMOM_LONG 1h N=200 H=48` → ma è long-only ≈ beta (fa meno del B&H su BTC).
+- `DONCHIAN 1h N=200 H=12` → l'unico candidato "vero" simmetrico, ma **marginale**:
+  OOS BTC +9% / ETH +15%, **Sharpe 0.15-0.19**, troppo debole per dispiegarlo.
+
+**Fee sweep / leva:** le star reggono lo sweep 0.0005-0.002 (è 1h, poche operazioni), e lo Sharpe
+è invariante alla leva (come deve) — ma la leva 3x porta i DD a 75-91% e affonda le celle marginali.
+
+## Verdetto
+
+**Nessun edge trend/momentum dispiegabile, onestamente, su BTC/ETH oggi.**
+- 5m/15m: morti per fee. Chiuso.
+- 1h: esiste un **residuo di segnale trend** (le celle che battono il B&H negativo di ETH non sono
+  solo beta), ma è (a) testato su **un solo regime OOS** (toro 2023-2026), (b) **non robusto** di
+  griglia (picchi isolati), (c) sull'unica cella simmetrica robusta-su-entrambi (Donchian N=200)
+  **troppo debole** (Sharpe ~0.17). Sharpe netti ~0.3-0.9 nel caso migliore = sotto la soglia per
+  rischiare capitale reale.
+
+Conferma la lezione del reset (il superstite storico era trend-following, non mean-reversion): il
+trend è la direzione *meno sbagliata*, ma sui dati certi non basta a fare un edge. Coerente con
+Track C (mean-reversion = artefatto).
+
+## Prossimi passi possibili (non ancora edge)
+- Walk-forward multi-regime (non un singolo taglio 65/35) per stressare Donchian-1h-N200 su orso 2018/2022.
+- Trend 1h **con filtro di volatilità/regime più ricco** o portafoglio BTC+ETH per diversificare il
+  rischio di regime — ma solo se emerge robustezza di griglia, non altri picchi fortunati.
+- Restare scettici: finché un trend non è positivo su griglia + su entrambi gli asset + su ≥2 regimi
+  OOS, **non si dispiega**.

+
+## Metodologia (anti look-ahead — la lezione della v2.0.0)

+- **Feature** (21): ritorni multi-lag (1/2/3/6/12/24), geometria candela (body/upper/lower

+- **Strict walk-forward**: per predire il blocco che inizia a `b`, si addestra

+- **Esecuzione**: entry a `close[i]` nella direzione predetta, hold fino a H barre
+  (no TP/SL); il no-overlap dell'harness distanzia i trade ≥ H barre.
+- **Modello**: `LogisticRegression(class_weight='balanced')`. Soglia di probabilità per

+- **15m**: 0/12 celle positive in dev (la migliore −47%, le altre −99%). Stesso win-rate
+  52–56% del 1h, ma il turnover lo polverizza. Conferma di prim'ordine: l'edge per-trade è
+  minuscolo, sopravvive solo se si tradano poche barre.

+
+**Non è solo beta.** Il B&H sul tail è +3.9% (BTC) e −38.4% (ETH), eppure le celle migliori
+fanno +37…+84% (BTC) con **long ~44–54%** (bilanciato long/short), e ETH +23.7% **mentre ETH

+### Stabilità per-anno (full walk-forward, BTC W16000 H24 thr0.10)

+CAGR full ~22%, ma **DD 56%** e fortissima concentrazione su 2021/2025 con un 2023 a −38%.
+
+## Verdetto onesto — NON deployabile verso l'obiettivo
+
+1. **L'edge è reale ma minuscolo.** A differenza della vecchia libreria (artefatto puro), qui
+   il segnale sopravvive a strict walk-forward, a fee 0.10% RT e batte il B&H sul tail. È un
+   risultato genuino e va registrato: la direzione ML **non è morta**.
+2. **Ma è incompatibile col target.** €/giorno su €2000 = +0.26…+0.58 baseline (anche la stima
+   rosea full-WF CAGR 22% → ~€1–3/g). Il target è **€50/g** → siamo ~100x sotto.
+3. **Fragilità**: vive solo a basso turnover (thr alto, H lungo, W grande), DD 23–56%,
+   ritorni concentrati in pochi anni con un anno a −38%, e l'edge si assottiglia già a
+   0.15% RT. Un singolo cambio di regime lo annulla.
+4. **ETH ≠ "specialmente buono"** (contrariamente all'indizio dello shape-ML precedente): qui
+   ETH è più sottile e più rumoroso di BTC sull'held-out; l'unico merito è aver shortato
+   correttamente il drawdown 2024-25.
+
+**Conclusione**: la logistic-regression walk-forward su feature di forma+momentum trova un
+debole edge **momentum direzionale a basso turnover** su BTC (più tenue su ETH), onesto e
+netto-fee, ma **troppo piccolo, troppo concentrato e troppo fee-sensibile** per essere
+deployato standalone. Al massimo un **componente** di un futuro ensemble, e solo nelle
+configurazioni a bassissimo turnover. Nessun config raggiunge, neanche lontanamente, i €50/g.
+
+## Prossimi passi possibili (non eseguiti)
+
+- Provare **predizione di magnitudine/asimmetria** (large-up vs large-down) e position-sizing
+  proporzionale alla confidenza, invece del semplice segno.
+- **GradientBoosting / feature non lineari** (flag `--gbm` predisposto) — ma attenzione
+  all'overfit; il rischio è di "trovare" edge che il walk-forward onesto non conferma.
+- **Ensemble** del segnale ML a basso turnover con un filtro di regime (vol/trend) per tagliare
+  il 2023. Ma serve dimostrare che il filtro non è scelto col senno di poi.
+- Restare scettici: finché €/g resta ~100x sotto target, l'ML da solo NON è la risposta.

+onesto `src/backtest/harness.py` (direzione+prezzo decisi con dati ≤ `close[i]`, fill a
+`close[i]`, exit intrabar TP/SL da `i+1`, fee netto). Universo: BTC/ETH × {1h,15m,5m}.
+
+## Cosa è stato testato (5 famiglie, ingresso onesto)
+
+- **ZFADE** — Bollinger/z-score fade: `z(close,lookback)` ≤ −thr → long, ≥ +thr → short.
+  TP al mean mobile o a `tp_atr·ATR`; SL a `sl_atr·ATR`. **Entry a close[i]**, NON al tocco
+  della banda (era proprio quello l'artefatto storico).
+- **RSI2** — RSI(2) oversold/overbought (+ variante con filtro trend SMA200).
+- **RETREV** — return reversal: fade del rendimento cumulato estremo (|z| > thr·σ).
+- **VWAP** — reversione sulla distanza dal VWAP rolling (in unità di σ della distanza).
+- **SESSION** — autocorrelazione next-bar per ora UTC (descrittivo).
+
+Metodologia applicata: OOS 65/35, griglia parametri su **entrambi** gli asset, fee-sweep
+{0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0} bps RT, cross-check liquidità (flat-bar O=H=L=C) e time-in-market.
+
+## Sanity liquidità
+
+Flat-bar O=H=L=C: BTC/ETH 1h ≈ 0.01%, 15m 0.09–0.14%. Book vivo → l'eventuale edge NON
+potrebbe nascondersi in barre ferme (a differenza degli alt archiviati). Confermato pulito.
+
+## Risultati — tutto negativo, su ogni asse
+
+**PASS 1 (screen 1h, fee 0.10% RT):** ogni famiglia OOS negativa su entrambi gli asset.
+Es. ZFADE z2/mean: BTC OOS −85%, ETH OOS −83%. RSI2 10/90: BTC −92%, ETH −96%.
+RETREV/VWAP idem. Win-rate spesso "alto" (RSI2 ~63%, VWAP ~64%) ma **perde lo stesso** →
+le poche perdite sono enormi, la reversione non paga il rischio + fee.
+
+**PASS 2 (griglia 1h):** ZFADE **0/18** celle con OOS>0 su entrambi; RSI2 **0/36**. La
+cella meno-peggio (ZFADE lookback20 z3) resta BTC −40% / ETH −33% OOS. Nessun sopravvissuto.
+
+**PASS 3 (fee-sweep, incl. fee=0 GROSS):** il colpo decisivo. **Anche a fee=0** (lordo)
+la z-fade è negativa: BTC full −74% / OOS −46%, ETH full −98% / OOS −48%. Quindi non è
+"morte da fee": **la direzione stessa della fade è sbagliata** sul feed pulito. Salendo le
+fee degrada monotòno fino a −100%.
+
+**PASS 4 (timeframe 5m/15m/1h):** più veloce = peggio. A 5m full −100% su entrambi
+(41.889 / 38.660 trade), €/giorno su 2000 ≈ −0.70/−0.75. Coerente con "molte operazioni =
+morte per fee", ma il PASS 3 mostra che il problema è a monte: niente edge nemmeno lordo.
+
+**PASS 5 (sessione UTC):** esiste una **debole** autocorrelazione negativa next-bar in
+poche ore (BTC 13h −0.166, 2h −0.154, 21h −0.129; ETH 13h −0.152, 4h −0.117), e una
+positiva alle 03h UTC (BTC +0.158, ETH +0.202 = ora "trending"). Struttura reale ma
+debolissima (|ρ|≤0.17): non sopravvive a fee + dimensionamento del rischio (lo conferma il
+fatto che tutte le versioni *tradate* perdono anche lorde).
+
+## Verdetto
+
+**Nessuna** configurazione MR produce OOS netto>0 su entrambi BTC ed ETH a fee baseline.
+Più forte: **a fee zero la fade è già negativa** → l'edge MR storico (+201%/+1238% "OOS")
+era un **artefatto del feed contaminato** (wick fantasma testnet + entry su estremi mai
+scambiati), non una proprietà del mercato. Sul dato certificato, con ingresso eseguibile,
+la mean-reversion a breve orizzonte **non è un edge**: è morta sia lorda che netta.
+
+Coerente con la tesi del reset (`2026-06-19-deribit-history.md`, §3): FADE morto ogni anno.
+Track C chiusa come direzione di alpha. La debole struttura intraday-by-hour (PASS 5) è
+annotata ma non azionabile da sola; semmai un *filtro* futuro, non una strategia.

+# 2026-06-19 — Track D: Robust walk-forward TREND PORTFOLIO (BTC+ETH), vol-targeted + leverage
+
+Follow-up to Track A. Thesis under test: trend-following's real value in crypto is **drawdown
+reduction** vs buy & hold (it sidesteps crashes), and that lower DD lets you apply **leverage** and
+**diversify** BTC+ETH into a deployable, risk-adjusted *earning* system — even if each single signal
+has modest Sharpe. Tool: `scripts/research/trackD_trendport.py` (run
+`uv run python scripts/research/trackD_trendport.py`).
+
+## Method (honest, no look-ahead)
+Equity built directly from a **target-position series** (the harness's documented "build your own
+equity" path), NOT per-trade chaining:
+- `target[i]` decided with data **≤ close[i]**; **held during the next bar** (close[i]→close[i+1]).
+- `pnl[t] = target[t-1]·r[t]`, `r[t]=close[t]/close[t-1]-1` — positions **shifted +1 bar** ⇒ no leakage.
+- Fees on **turnover**: `0.05%/side·|target[t-1]-target[t-2]|` (0.10% RT baseline; swept 0.10–0.40% RT).
+- **Vol-targeting** (main lever): `target = direction · (target_vol / realized_vol)`, clipped to the
+  leverage cap. `realized_vol` = annualized rolling std of past bar returns (30d window), ≤ close[i].
+- **Portfolio** = 50/50 BTC+ETH net-return series, rebalanced each bar on common timestamps.
+
+Leakage sanity check passed: an *oracle* target using next-bar sign explodes (10^119×) — proving the
+engine holds `target[i-1]` over bar `i` — while our signals (TSMOM blend, MA-slope, Donchian) only use
+`close[i]` and earlier. Zero-position equity = exactly 1.0.
+
+## What was tested
+TSMOM multi-horizon blend (1/3/6-month-equiv on 1h bars), MA-slope (EMA200 slope), Donchian breakout
+with trailing channel stop — each vol-targeted, long-short **and** long-flat, per-asset and combined.
+Grid: target-vol × leverage-cap × horizon-set; explicit EARLY(2018-21)/LATE(2022-26) split;
+fee & leverage sweep; full per-year 2018-2026.
+
+## Results — the honest picture
+
+**1) The thesis holds: massive DD reduction, and diversification helps.**
+| Strategy (50/50 port, tvol20%, LS) | CAGR | Sharpe | maxDD | volA |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **B&H 50/50** | +48% | 0.92 | **77.8%** | 70% |
+| TSMOM 1-3-6m blend | +14.2% | **1.00** | **18.9%** | 14% |
+| MA-slope | +14.1% | 0.79 | 21.9% | 19% |
+| Donchian-trailing | +14.7% | 0.89 | 17.7% | 17% |
+
+Trend cuts maxDD from ~78% to ~18% while keeping a Sharpe **above** buy&hold (1.00 vs 0.92). The
+portfolio Sharpe (1.00) **beats both sleeves** (BTC 0.95, ETH 0.75) — diversification works as claimed.
+The **long-flat** variant is even cleaner: Sharpe **1.32**, maxDD **13.3%** (no short funding/borrow risk).
+
+**2) It is genuinely robust (not a lucky cell).**
+- *Per-year (headline LS):* every full year **positive** 2019-2025 (+19/+36/+19/+6/+2/+14/+4%) and 2026 +8%.
+- *Grid:* Sharpe ≈1.00 across **all** target-vol (10-40%) × leverage caps — flat plateau (vol-targeting
+  just scales). DD scales ~linearly with target-vol (10%→DD10%, 40%→DD35%).
+- *Horizon-set:* every subset (1m/3m/6m/1-3m/3-6m/1-2-4m/2-4-8m) is **positive**; Sharpe 0.37→1.39.
+  Shorter horizons (1m, 1-2-4m) score best (Sharpe 1.34-1.39) — a real plateau, not one combo.
+- *Fee:* survives to 0.40% RT (Sharpe 1.00→0.39, still positive at 4× baseline fee).
+
+**3) The honest caveat — most of the edge is the EARLY regime.**
+Walk-forward split, same param set both assets:
+- **EARLY 2018-2021:** CAGR +26%, Sharpe **1.63**, DD 18%.
+- **LATE 2022-2026:** CAGR +7.3%, Sharpe **0.57**, DD 19%.
+The signal is real and still net-positive every late year, but its quality **halved** post-2021
+(crypto vol compressed, trends choppier). This is the same warning Track A raised, now quantified: the
+edge is strongest 2019-2021 and merely *modest* in the 2022-26 regime.
+
+**4) Leverage is a red herring; target-vol is the real dial — and it costs DD linearly.**
+At tvol=20% on 60-80% crypto vol, positions stay **sub-1x** (avg gross 0.23×): the leverage cap
+**never binds**. To deploy real leverage you raise target-vol; Sharpe stays ~1.0, DD scales:
+
+| target_vol | avg gross | CAGR | Sharpe | maxDD |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 20% | 0.23× | +14% | 1.00 | 19% |
+| 40% | 0.45× | +28% | 1.00 | 35% |
+| 60% | 0.68× | +40% | 1.00 | 48% |
+| 80% | 0.90× | +50% | 1.00 | 60% |
+| 100% | 1.12× | +58% | 0.99 | 69% |
+
+## Verdict — is this a deployable earning system?
+
+**Yes as a risk-adjusted system; NO as a fast path to €50/day on €2000.**
+
+- This is the **first post-reset config that is genuinely robust**: Sharpe ~1.0 (long-flat 1.3),
+  positive every year 2018-2026, robust across grid/horizon/fee, on both assets, on certified data,
+  with honest no-look-ahead accounting. It is a real, deployable trend portfolio and a clear
+  improvement over Track A's lucky single cells. The thesis (DD reduction → leverageable, diversifiable)
+  is **confirmed**.
+- **But the earnings are modest.** Headline (tvol20%, 2x cap, LS): CAGR **+14.2%**, DD 19% ⇒ steady-state
+  **~€0.73/day on €2000**. To average **€50/day at this CAGR you need ~€137k capital**, not €2000.
+- **Leverage can't close the gap cheaply.** Pushing target-vol to 80% gives CAGR ~50% (DD **60%**) — and
+  at €2000, 50%/yr is still only ~€2.7/day in steady state. Reaching €50/day in 1-2 years from €2000
+  would require both heavy leverage (DD 60-70%, near-ruin) **and** lucky path — not a sane plan.
+- **Regime risk:** the edge is much weaker post-2021 (Sharpe 0.57 LATE). Deploy sized for the LATE
+  regime, not the EARLY one.
+
+**Recommendation:** treat this as the **core risk engine** (compounding ~14%/yr at DD<20%, or
+long-flat ~16%/yr at DD 13%), deployable now at low size to validate live execution. It grows €2000,
+but to *€50/day* the lever is **capital + time**, not leverage. Realistic near-term: ~€0.7-1.5/day on
+€2000; €50/day needs ~€70-140k or a second uncorrelated edge stacked on top.

+ML di Track B e il Donchian di Track A). Harness onesto: direzione/posizione decise con dati
+≤ `close[i]`, realizzo sul bar successivo (shift di 1 barra, niente look-ahead). Fee

+Run: `uv run python scripts/research/trackE_xsec_ensemble.py` (`--quick` salta lo sleeve ML;
+`--no-cache` ricalcola la proba ML). Il proba ML viene cacheato (`.cache_trackE_*.npy`).
+
+---
+
+## PART 1 — Relative value (spread BTC↔ETH, 1h, market-neutral)
+
+**Premessa strutturale.** BTC/ETH log-ret 1h sono correlati **0.84**. Con due soli asset
+l'unica struttura tradabile è lo **spread**. E con due asset, *"long il più forte / short il
+più debole"* (XS-momentum) è **algebraicamente identico** a *"trada il trend del ratio
+ETH/BTC"* — infatti nel codice (A) e (B) producono numeri identici. Sono lo stesso edge.
+
+**Lead-lag: nullo.** `corr(rB[i], rE[i+1]) = −0.018`, `corr(rE[i], rB[i+1]) = −0.007`,
+autocorrelazioni −0.01..−0.02. Nessun potere predittivo cross-asset → lead-lag **non**
+perseguito come sleeve (sarebbe rumore moltiplicato per le fee).
+
+**(A/B) XS momentum / ratio trend (griglia N∈{24,72,168,336}, hold∈{6,24,72}):**
+- Solo **4/12 celle** OOS net-positive, e sparse (N24/h24, N24/h72, N72/h72, N168/h24).
+- Le celle FULL forti (N168/h24: +150% full, Sharpe 0.68, DD 27%) hanno **OOS debole**
+  (+11%, Sh 0.30). La migliore per OOS-Sharpe è N24/h24 (OOS Sh 0.31, OOS net +11%).
+- **Fee sweep (N24/h24):** gross (0bp) FULL +356%/OOS +74% Sh 1.20 → a 1.0bp/gamba FULL +27%/
+  OOS +11% Sh 0.31 → **muore già a 1.5bp/gamba** (OOS −11%). Margine fee sottilissimo.
+- **Per-anno** concentrato sui grandi movimenti del ratio 2020-2021 (e 2024), piatto/negativo
+  altrove (2022 −9%, 2023 −19%, 2025 −6%, 2026 −16%). Non è un altopiano: è un edge debole,
+  fee-sensibile, regime-dipendente.
+
+**(C) Ratio mean-reversion (z-fade di log(ETH/BTC)):** negativa ovunque (es. lb168/zin2.0:
+FULL −85%, OOS −44%, Sh −1.56). Coerente con Track C: anche sullo spread la MR a breve non è
+un edge sul dato pulito.
+
+**Verdetto PART 1:** esiste un **debole** edge di relative-value (XS-momentum ≡ ratio-trend),
+net-positivo OOS solo in alcune celle, Sharpe OOS ~0.3, che **muore a ~1.5bp/gamba** ed è
+concentrato in pochi anni. È **reale ma marginale** — degno di entrare in un ensemble come
+sleeve diversificante, non come strategia standalone. La sua virtù: è **quasi scorrelato**
+dagli edge direzionali (vedi sotto).
+
+---
+
+## PART 2 — Ensemble (3 sleeve residui in UN portafoglio)
+
+Sleeve combinati (gross 1 ciascuno, equal-weight 1/N → gross totale ~1):
+- **S1 = BTC-ML** (Track B, cella onesta a basso turnover W16000 H24 thr0.10, 1h).
+- **S2 = BTC-Trend** (Track A, l'unica cella trend robusta cross-asset: Donchian N=200 H=12).
+- **S3 = Relative-value** (PART 1, miglior cella OOS: XS-momentum N=24 hold=24).
+
+**Finestra comune attiva** (dove tutti e 3 sono live, dopo il warmup ML): 2020-06 → 2026-06,
+52.636 barre.

+solo!), 2024 +18%, 2025 +19%, 2026 −3%. **Molto più liscio**, niente anno-catastrofe.
+
+### La diversificazione aiuta? Sì sul rischio, NO sul rendimento risk-adjusted
+
+- **Sharpe:** ensemble 0.83 vs best-single 0.87 → **non batte** il miglior sleeve singolo.
+- **maxDD:** ensemble **30%** vs best-single 56% → **dimezzato**. E OOS 12% vs ML-solo molto
+  più profondo. Per-anno senza il −38% del 2023.
+- **Risk-matched** (levare l'ensemble 1.84x per pareggiare il 56% DD dell'ML): €/g +2.23
+  contro €/g +3.51 dell'ML da solo → a pari drawdown l'ensemble rende **MENO** (ratio 0.64).
+
+**Perché?** Gli sleeve sono scorrelati ma **enormemente diseguali** (Sharpe 0.87 vs 0.15 vs
+0.16). L'equal-weight 1/N "annacqua" l'unico sleeve forte con due deboli: la matematica
+della diversificazione alza lo Sharpe solo se gli sleeve sono di *qualità comparabile*. Qui
+non lo sono, quindi 1/N non può superare il singolo migliore. Pesare verso l'ML (quality-
+weighting) converge banalmente a "esegui solo l'ML" — e sarebbe in-sample.
+
+**Il guadagno vero dell'ensemble è la ROBUSTEZZA, non il rendimento:** stesso Sharpe del
+miglior sleeve a **metà del drawdown**, per-anno molto più stabile, niente dipendenza da un
+singolo modello/regime (l'ML da solo concentra tutto in 2021/2025 con un −38% nel 2023). Per
+chi deve *sopravvivere*, l'ensemble è preferibile; per chi massimizza il rendimento a pari
+rischio, l'ML puro vince di un soffio.
+
+---
+
+## Verdetto onesto — è un motore da €50/giorno? NO.
+
+1. **Relative-value:** edge debole, reale ma marginale (Sharpe OOS ~0.3), fee-sensibile
+   (muore a 1.5bp/gamba), concentrato 2020-2021/2024. Utile **solo** come sleeve scorrelato.
+   Lead-lag e ratio-MR: nulli/negativi.
+2. **Ensemble:** gli sleeve sono **quasi scorrelati** (|ρ|≤0.06) — risultato genuino e bello.
+   L'ensemble equal-weight ottiene **Sharpe ~0.83 a metà del drawdown** del miglior sleeve e
+   un per-anno molto più liscio. **Ma NON alza il tetto risk-adjusted** (a pari DD rende meno
+   dell'ML puro) perché un solo sleeve domina.
+3. **Distanza dal target:** ensemble **€1.00/giorno su €2000** (best single €3.51 ma a DD
+   56% e concentrato). Il target è **€50/giorno → ~50x sotto** (l'ML puro ~14x sotto ma con
+   rischio/concentrazione inaccettabili). Levare per colmare il gap moltiplica il drawdown
+   ben oltre il tollerabile (1.84x già porta al 51% DD per ~€2.2/g).
+
+**Conclusione:** la sintesi di Track E conferma la fotografia dei track A/B/C — esistono
+**edge residui deboli ma reali e scorrelati** su BTC/ETH. Combinarli in un ensemble **migliora
+la robustezza** (DD dimezzato, per-anno stabile, niente single-point-of-failure) ma **non crea
+rendimento dal nulla**: il sistema combinato rende ~€1/giorno su €2000, ~50x sotto l'obiettivo,
+e non è un motore dispiegabile. Il miglior uso pratico dei risultati: se un giorno si tradasse,
+l'ensemble equal-weight (ML + trend + relative-value) è la forma **più onesta e meno fragile**
+del poco edge disponibile — ma serve un edge **di un'altra magnitudine** per avvicinare i €50/g.
+
+## Prossimi passi possibili (non eseguiti)
+- Cercare uno sleeve **di qualità comparabile all'ML** (Sharpe ≥0.5 indipendente) — solo
+  allora 1/N alzerebbe lo Sharpe oltre il singolo. Senza, l'ensemble resta solo "risk smoother".
+- Relative-value su **timeframe diversi** del ratio (giornaliero?) o con **position sizing**
+  proporzionale alla forza del segnale, restando scettici sul fee-margin sottile.
+- Non aumentare la leva per inseguire €50/g: il DD esplode prima del rendimento.

+"""TRACK B — Machine-learning / feature-prediction on BTC & ETH (Deribit-certified).
+
+Honest, strict walk-forward ML research. The whole point is to NOT repeat the death of
+the old library (look-ahead). Everything here obeys:
+
+  * Features for bar i use ONLY data <= close[i] (all rolling windows are backward).
+  * Labels (sign of forward return over H bars) use close[i+H]; in walk-forward we only
+    train on samples whose label is FULLY realized in the past relative to the prediction
+    bar (a gap of H is enforced between train-end and the prediction block).
+  * Scaler + model are fit ONLY on past data, retrained periodically, never on the future.
+  * Net of fees (fee_rt sweep 0.0005 .. 0.002, baseline 0.001). Turnover reported.
+  * Grid over W (lookback for training), H (horizon), threshold, asset, tf.
+  * A final held-out segment (last HELD_OUT_FRAC) is NEVER used to choose configs;
+    configs are selected on the DEV portion, then confirmed once on the held-out tail.
+
+Run:  uv run python scripts/research/trackB_ml.py
+      uv run python scripts/research/trackB_ml.py --quick      (smaller grid, faster)
+      uv run python scripts/research/trackB_ml.py --gbm        (also try GradientBoosting)
+
+Entry convention (harness): for a signalled bar i we open at close[i] in the predicted
+direction and hold up to H bars (max_bars=H, no TP/SL) — a pure test of directional sign.
+No-overlap is enforced by the harness, so trades are naturally spaced >= H bars.

+"""TRACK C — Mean-reversion / range re-examination on CLEAN BTC/ETH (Deribit mainnet).
+
+HONEST harness only. The OLD 'fade' library (Bollinger fade, Donchian fade, return
+reversal) was an ARTIFACT of look-ahead + ghost wicks on a contaminated feed; on the
+rebuilt+certified data those are negative every year. This script asks, skeptically:
+
+    Does ANY short-horizon mean-reversion / range edge survive on clean BTC/ETH with a
+    genuinely EXECUTABLE entry (direction + price decided with data <= close[i],
+    fill at close[i]), net of realistic Deribit fees, out-of-sample and grid-robust?
+
+Methodology enforced here:
+  * Entry decided with data through close[i]; fill at close[i] (harness guarantees it).
+    No entering "at the band edge" / candle extreme only known intrabar.
+  * NET fees fee_rt=0.001 baseline + sweep {0.0005, 0.0015, 0.002}.
+  * OOS 65/35 split + parameter grid across BOTH BTC & ETH.
+  * Liquidity/plausibility cross-check: time-in-market, avg bars, and whether the edge
+    concentrates in flat (O=H=L=C heavy) periods.

+"""TRACK D — ROBUST WALK-FORWARD TREND PORTFOLIO (BTC+ETH), vol-targeted + leverage.
+
+Thesis under test: trend-following's real value in crypto is DRAWDOWN REDUCTION vs
+buy & hold (it sidesteps crashes). That lower DD lets us apply LEVERAGE and DIVERSIFY
+across BTC+ETH to build a deployable, risk-adjusted EARNING system, even if each single
+signal has only a modest Sharpe. Question: does a properly-built, anti-overfit trend
+portfolio actually EARN robustly across regimes 2018-2026?
+
+METHOD (strict, honest):
+  * NO LOOK-AHEAD. We build equity directly from a TARGET-POSITION series.
+      - target[i] is decided using ONLY data <= close[i].
+      - target[i] is HELD during the next bar (close[i] -> close[i+1]).
+      - bar return r[t] = close[t]/close[t-1] - 1  (uses close[t], close[t-1]; both <= t).
+      - pnl on bar t = target[t-1] * r[t]            (shift positions by 1 -> no leakage).
+      - fees: fee_per_side * |target[t-1] - target[t-2]| (turnover cost, charged on rebalances).
+    This is the harness's documented "build your own equity from a position series" path.
+  * VOL-TARGETING: position = directional_signal * (target_vol / realized_vol), capped at
+    leverage. realized_vol uses past returns only (rolling std up to close[i]). This is the
+    main lever — it lets a modest signal run at a controlled risk level.
+  * WALK-FORWARD / MULTI-REGIME: per-year returns for ALL years 2018-2026. Plus an explicit
+    EARLY (2018-2021) tune / LATE (2022-2026) confirm split. ONE robust param set, both assets.
+  * PORTFOLIO: equal-weight BTC+ETH sleeves, rebalanced each bar. Report combined Sharpe/DD/CAGR.
+  * GRID ROBUSTNESS: chosen config must be positive across a neighborhood AND across regimes.
+  * FEE & LEVERAGE SWEEP: fee/side 0.0005..0.002 (0.10..0.40% RT); leverage cap 1x..3x.

+  * XS relative momentum: go long the stronger asset, short the weaker (dollar-neutral).
+  * ETH/BTC ratio TREND (z-momentum) and ratio MEAN-REVERSION (z-fade of log-ratio).
+  * Lead-lag (descriptive): does BTC's last-bar move predict ETH's next bar (and vice versa)?
+  All positions are decided with data <= close[i] and HELD over the NEXT bar (i->i+1):
+  realized PnL on bar k uses position set at k-1 -> strict 1-bar shift, NO look-ahead.
+  Fees are turnover-based: |Δpos| * fee_rt/2 PER LEG (a +1↔-1 flip = one round trip = fee_rt).
+
+PART 2 — ENSEMBLE:
+  Combine the genuinely-positive residual sleeves into ONE portfolio equity curve:
+    (S1) BTC low-turnover ML momentum (trackB best honest cell: W16000 H24 thr0.10, 1h)
+    (S2) Trend-1h, the only cross-asset-robust trend cell from trackA (Donchian N=200 H=12)
+    (S3) the best relative-value sleeve found in PART 1 (if any net-positive OOS)
+  Report combined Sharpe / maxDD / CAGR / EUR-per-day-on-2000 AND the sleeve correlation
+  matrix. A real ensemble edge must be net-positive OOS and LOWER drawdown than its parts.
+
+Run:  uv run python scripts/research/trackE_xsec_ensemble.py
+      uv run python scripts/research/trackE_xsec_ensemble.py --quick   (skip slow ML sleeve)
+      uv run python scripts/research/trackE_xsec_ensemble.py --no-cache (recompute ML proba)

+"""HONEST BACKTEST HARNESS — universo certificato BTC/ETH (Deribit mainnet).
+
+Foundation per la ricerca post-reset (2026-06-19). Tutte le strategie nuove devono
+usare QUESTO harness per garantire:
+  1. NESSUN look-ahead: la direzione e il prezzo d'ingresso si decidono con dati fino
+     a close[i] incluso, e si ENTRA a close[i] (la barra successiva, i+1, e' la prima
+     in cui si e' realmente in posizione). L'exit intrabar guarda high/low di i+1..
+  2. Fee realistiche Deribit: 0.10% round-trip (taker) di default.
+  3. Metriche oneste: equity compounding, CAGR, Sharpe (da rendimenti per-barra),
+     max drawdown, per-anno, e split OOS.
+
+Convenzione segnali (entry-eseguibile):
+  Una strategia produce, per ogni indice i, un dict opzionale:
+     {'dir': +1/-1, 'tp': prezzo|None, 'sl': prezzo|None, 'max_bars': int|None}
+  decidendo SOLO con dati [.. i] (close[i] incluso). L'engine apre a close[i] e
+  gestisce l'uscita dalle barre i+1 in poi (TP/SL intrabar al livello, SL prioritario;
+  altrimenti max_bars al close).
+
+Uso tipico:
+    from src.backtest.harness import load, backtest_signals, Metrics
+    df = load("BTC", "1h")
+    entries = my_signal_fn(df)   # list[dict|None] lunga len(df)

+"""TREND PORTFOLIO (TP01) — l'UNICA strategia profittevole e robusta post-reset (2026-06-19).
+
+Vincitrice della ricerca su dati certificati BTC/ETH (Deribit mainnet). TSMOM multi-orizzonte
+(1-3-6 mesi) vol-targeted, portafoglio 50/50 BTC+ETH. Validata onestamente (no look-ahead,
+fee 0.10% RT, positiva ogni anno 2019-2026, robusta su griglia e su tutti i timeframe 15m-1d).
+
+Config canonica deployabile (PORT LF4h):
+    timeframe 4h, LONG-FLAT (niente short), vol-target 20%, leverage cap 2x.
+    -> CAGR ~16.6%, Sharpe ~1.32, maxDD ~12.3% (backtest 2019-2026 su 50/50 BTC+ETH).
+
+Perche' long-flat e 4h: gli short del trend rendono meno e aggiungono DD; il 4h e' il punto
+dolce (meno rumore/fee del 15m, meno lag dell'1d). Vedi docs/diary/2026-06-19-research-synthesis.md
+e scripts/research/trackD_*.py.
