Today's Research HighlightVenue Breadth How much validated prices differ across supported exchanges, and whether venue choice could materially affect execution. 48742 cross-venue dispersion observations recorded Evidence status: Collecting Evidence / Insufficient Sample Why it matters: A meaningful venue-price difference could affect what a real customer experiences even when the model's signal is identical. What remains unresolved: Whether the measured price dispersion is large enough and persistent enough to matter economically once realistic costs are included. No conclusion yet -- the study is still collecting evidence. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Research Reality Check
Cryptokie's paper accounting has been independently reconciled. We are now prospectively measuring real-world spread, fee, liquidity, and latency effects before making any claims about customer execution. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Educational Insight — Simulated vs Live PerformanceSimulated model-portfolio results are computed as if every decision executed cleanly at observed prices. Live trading adds frictions a simulation may understate: fees, slippage, latency, partial fills, and market impact when orders are large relative to available liquidity. None of these make simulation useless — it is the right tool for studying a model's logic — but they do mean simulated returns are an upper bound, not a promise. Treat any simulated figure as research about the model, not as a forecast of what a customer's account would have done. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Cryptokie provides market research, simulated model-portfolio analytics, and educational information. It does not provide personalized investment advice. Cryptocurrency markets are volatile, and losses can be substantial. Historical and simulated results do not guarantee future performance. Performance figures may reflect simulated model-portfolio activity and may not represent executable customer results. Fees, slippage, liquidity, latency, and market impact may differ in live trading.
