jgrusewski be084b5154 result: hedge-fund reframe -> moat is cheap leverage, not the strategy
Multi-strat with foxhunt's own ideas. (1) Combine uncorrelated premia: ~0.72 Sharpe 2019-26 but
~=60/40, only when streams net-positive (traditional 2010-26 combine +0.51 < equity +0.68 = dilution).
(2) Edge-decay-trust allocation (Page-Hinkley theta, resurrection) genuinely helps: +0.16->+0.27,
correctly down-weights decayed streams. (3) Static risk layer crushed returns (one-way latch);
ADAPTIVE layer (continuous self-recovering DD de-lever + Kelly-floor + z-score corr + EMA vol)
beat it (+0.03->+0.14, maxDD -18.7->-14.5) -- value is drawdown control. (4) THE MOAT = cheap
financing: adaptive 1x Sharpe +0.48 vs 2x +0.14; retail 6-7% margin kills leverage benefit. Funds
lever ~0.7 Sharpe only via prime-brokerage SOFR+1-2%. Deployable best = ~1x adaptive-risk-managed
diversified book (~0.5-0.7 Sharpe, unlevered), scales with capital. Foxhunt ideas improve execution
(validated); engine value = risk-mgmt not alpha. Ceiling ~0.7 ironclad.

Building

# Check compilation (no PostgreSQL required)
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check --workspace

# Run tests for a specific crate
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p <crate> --lib

# Clippy

ML Models

Four production model architectures on Candle v0.9.1 with CUDA:

  • DQN Rainbow -- Deep Q-Network with prioritized replay, dueling heads, noisy nets
  • PPO -- Proximal Policy Optimization with GAE and LSTM policies
  • TFT -- Temporal Fusion Transformer for multi-horizon forecasting
  • Mamba2 -- State space model for sequence prediction

Each model has a standalone trainer and a UnifiedTrainable adapter for the hyperopt pipeline.

Infrastructure

  • Git: Gitea at git.fxhnt.ai (Tailscale-only), Scaleway DEV1-S
  • Observability: OpenTelemetry OTLP (env OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT)
  • Database: PostgreSQL with SQLx offline mode for CI
