The +14.9 OOS Sharpe was the max-min optimism (assumes daily free re-positioning to optimal venue pair). Honest fixed-pair version (hold the entry-chosen pair, book its actual funding diff): OOS Sharpe collapses +14.9->+0.8, OOS ann +15.3%->+1.1% (realistic ~breakeven net of cost), 0/12 configs robust OOS, feb month -8.2. Capture 0.68 was the tell (32% reshuffle loss). Cross-venue arb joins the cost-walled/in-sample-only list. User's OOS insistence caught it. Only deployable thing remains simple 60/40 (~0.7). Every crypto-funding variant marginal once honestly tested. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
