#!/usr/bin/env python3 """T11 EXPLORATORY (2026-07-23) — the PATIENCE CURVE for maker copy entries: #20 rests at the sharp's price for 60s because that is what T3 tested, not because 60s is optimal. Same universe and fill convention as T3 (copy_maker_entry.py — fill = later tape print <= our bid; queue optimism stated), extended to the full TTL grid, with the two numbers T3 did not produce: 1. time-to-touch distribution among fills (median/p75/p90 seconds) — where the fills actually live on the clock; 2. HYBRID EV/signal — maker fill inside the TTL, else taker fallback at the first print AFTER TTL expiry (within 10 min; approximates the then-current ask from the tape; miss if no print) — the policy a bot with a fallback would actually run. #20 as deployed has NO fallback (pure-maker column is the deployed comparator). Chain-true grading (payouts_for — scorer law), refunds excluded. Adverse-selection split (fill rate among eventual winners vs losers) per TTL — T3's signature stat — decides where patience turns toxic. NOT pre-registered — exploration to tune #20's maker_ttl_s knob. VERDICT (2026-07-23 run, n=58 chain-graded): 60s IS ALREADY OPTIMAL. Touch median 1-2s, p90 3-7s; fill rate 90% @60s -> 97% @5m and FLAT thereafter (zero touches after 5m). The marginal 60s->5m fills LOWER EV/signal (+16.62 @60s vs +15.36 @5m+) — at 5m+ the loser fill-rate is 100% (every eventual loser returns to the bid; the 3% never-filled are winners running away). Hybrid taker-fallback adds nothing (<=4 events). Taker baseline +12.58. #20's maker_ttl_s=60 stands; patience past 60s only harvests adverse selection.""" import json import os import statistics as st import sys sys.path.insert(0, os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))) import tape # noqa: E402 import forward as fwd # noqa: E402 ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))) TTLS = [(60, "60s"), (300, "5m"), (1800, "30m"), (14400, "4h"), (86400, "24h"), (None, "to-res")] FEE = 0.03 FALLBACK_S = 600 def main(): db = tape.connect() t_lo, t_hi = db.execute("SELECT min(ts), max(ts) FROM trades").fetchone() tape.build_resolved(db) fills = [] for path, book in ((os.path.join(ROOT, "copybot_fills.jsonl"), "paper"), (os.path.join(ROOT, "copybot_fills.live.jsonl"), "live")): for ln in open(path): r = json.loads(ln) if (r.get("side") == "SELL" or r.get("untracked") or not r.get("their_price") or not r.get("my_price")): continue sig_ts = r["ts"] - (r.get("detect_lag_s") or 0) if not (t_lo + 60 <= sig_ts <= t_hi - 1800): continue fills.append({"book": book, "token": str(r["token"]), "sig_ts": sig_ts, "p": r["their_price"], "my_px": r["my_price"]}) print(f"copy signals with tape coverage: {len(fills)}", flush=True) pays = fwd.payouts_for(db, [f["token"] for f in fills]) graded = [f for f in fills if pays.get(f["token"]) is not None and pays.get(f["token"]) != 0.5] print(f"chain-graded (refunds excluded): {len(graded)}", flush=True) tk_pnl = 0.0 for f in graded: pay = pays[f["token"]] sh = 100.0 / f["my_px"] tk_pnl += sh * (pay - f["my_px"]) \ - FEE * sh * min(f["my_px"], 1 - f["my_px"]) print(f"TAKER baseline @$100/signal: n={len(graded)} · " f"EV/signal {tk_pnl/len(graded):+.2f}\n", flush=True) # one touch-time query per signal covers every TTL (first touch ever) touch = {} for i, f in enumerate(graded): r = db.execute("""SELECT min(ts) FROM trades WHERE asset = ?
