Bought XSP (mini-SPX) options ohlcv-1d 2013-2026 = $66.86 (hard-capped $70, get_cost-gated, year-chunked vs 504, 2025 backfilled) + SPY $0.01. CORRECTION: index VRP is NOT $900 (that was SPY root); clean instrument XSP $66.86/13y or SPX $143/13y. THREE measurement attempts all gave spurious NEGATIVE VRP (RV 28-33% vs implied ~16%) = MEASUREMENT ERROR not finding (contradicts decades of SPX VRP evidence). Bugs: noisy parity underlying; ~469/2800 days survive -> multi-day gaps inflate RV; SPY!=XSP divergence corrupts ATM. Root: XSP EOD ohlcv too sparse to reconstruct clean underlying+ATM-IV. Implied (16.7%) reads right. Frontier real+affordable+in-hand but proper extraction is a real options-quant build (denser SPX +$76 or IV-surface w/ quotes), not a gate. Did NOT record -2.7 as a result (artifact). Crypto momentum+VRP remains only deploy-grade edge. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

"""Equity-index VRP on XSP (mini-SPX) options, 2013-2026 — the one real-prior frontier.
|
||
|
||
For each day: find the ~30d ATM straddle (strike where call~=put = the forward), back out
|
||
implied vol from the straddle price, compare to forward realized vol. VRP = IV - RV; a
|
||
short-vol seller harvests it. 13y spans 2018/2020/2022 tail events. Tests raw VRP Sharpe,
|
||
per-year (incl. crashes), tail/skew, AND the tail-managed version (don't sell when IV rising
|
||
— the gate that fixed crypto VRP). XSP = cash-settled European -> no early-exercise distortion.
