IN-SAMPLE DISCOVERY RESULTS. This page documents the backtest results on the
canonical feature panel (May 25-Jun 5 2026, 928 markets) that led to this candidate's deployment.
The KISS distance_only logit model used by some strategies was trained on a subset of this same
panel, so these in-sample figures are not forward-looking and cannot be used to infer live
performance. This candidate was deployed as a live dynamic-shadow paper monitor on 2026-06-13
(fresh inception, no backfill) --
see the live deep dive
for current forward fires and realized PnL.
kiss_late_sniper_12_10
Enters only at TTE=12, 11, or 10 -- never at TTE=14. Requires edge >= 0.10 (tighter threshold than KISS). Different entry timing from existing live strategies -- additive, not redundant. Second-best in-sample dynamic candidate on canonical panel.

Strategy Description
Entry logic: Enter only TTE=12-10; edge >= 0.10; skip TTE=14 entirely Entry TTEs: TTE 12, 11, 10 only Median entry TTE: 12 min Side: NO (buy NO contract) Quantity: q=10 contracts (backtest convention) Model: KISS distance_only logit (2-feature: distance_to_strike_bps, abs_distance_to_strike_bps)

Deployment Status
The figures below are in-sample only. This strategy never fires at TTE=14, so it avoids the highest-liquidity window; the higher edge threshold (0.10 vs 0.07 for KISS) adds some selectivity, but these results predate deployment. It was deployed as a live dynamic-shadow paper monitor on 2026-06-13 (fresh inception, no backfill) to begin forward validation -- see the live deep dive for current fires and realized PnL. Promotion to champion/benchmark status still requires confirmed forward (OOS) performance.
Forward (OOS) Gate for Champion/Benchmark Graduation
Gate: Deployed as a live dynamic-shadow paper monitor since 2026-06-13 (fresh inception, no backfill). Champion/benchmark graduation still requires sustained forward (OOS) outperformance over more trading days -- in-sample results below predate deployment and are not validated alpha. What to check forward: Total PnL vs KISS on forward (OOS) days; drawdown vs KISS; win rate stability;
no evidence of regime-specific overfit (check performance across BTC up/flat/down days separately). Candidate registry:reports/consistent_panel_dynamic_yesno/shadow_strategy_registry_proposed.csv
