Cryptokie vs. the Market

Historical paper-performance results are temporarily under methodology review. Cryptokie identified execution-cost assumptions that materially affected the previously displayed simulated results. Historical records are being preserved and independently reconciled rather than silently rewritten.

Today's Research Highlight

Expanded Coin Universe

Whether broadening the eligible asset universe improves risk-adjusted model results after realistic costs.

4228 expanded-universe research evaluations recorded

Evidence status: Collecting Evidence / Insufficient Sample

Why it matters: The production model currently trades a narrower eligible universe than Cryptokie's research system observes.

What remains unresolved: Whether a broader universe's apparent edge survives real transaction costs and holds across multiple market regimes.

No conclusion yet -- the study is still collecting evidence.

Research Reality Check

Historical execution realismQualified -- not empirically verified
Prospective execution economicsCollecting evidence

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 — Why Sample Size Matters

A strategy that wins 8 of its first 10 trades looks spectacular, but ten observations tell you almost nothing — the range of plausible true win rates behind that sample is enormous. Confidence in any performance metric grows with sample size, and short, lucky streaks are indistinguishable from skill until enough independent observations accumulate. This is why credible research withholds conclusions until a minimum clean sample is reached, and why a metric shown with its numerator and denominator is far more trustworthy than a bare percentage.
