How the research works
1. Observe
Track funding and liquidity across venues on a delayed feed.
2. Evaluate
Check persistence, basis, and all-in cost before anything is logged as a candidate.
3. Document
Simulated entries and exits are recorded with full assumptions — no live capital.
4. Compare
Expected funding is reconciled against the all-in outcome, including hedge slippage.
