#!/usr/bin/env python3 """T12 EXPLORATORY (2026-07-23) — maker-sharp UNWIND leans: the sell side of T6/Study C. When a screened maker-sharp builds a directional inventory (>= $150 one-sided) and then takes back >= half of it, is the unwind an exit signal (the market should be faded / a Study-C hold should exit) or bankroll ops like taker-sharp exits (#21: exits are noise)? Walk-forward, no self-selection: per tape day D the maker-sharp set is screened on tape < D only (maker_lean.screen_asof — same discipline as T6). During D, per (wallet, asset): running net/gross from orders_matched MAKER fills; an unwind fires ONCE when peak |net|*px >= $150 (a T6-grade lean existed) AND |net| has dropped to <= 50% of peak with the same sign. Scored at the unwind print, chain-true (payouts_for — scorer law): STAY $100 on the ORIGINAL lean side from the unwind print — what a no-exit-rule Study C book experiences from this moment on. STAY >= 0 => unwinds are noise, hold through (mirrors #21). FADE $100 against the original lean — is the unwind actively informative in reverse? Comparator for STAY is literally 0 (exiting at the unwind print). FROZEN v0 params (declared before the run, not tuned after): build |net|*px >= $150 AND |net|/gross >= 0.6 at peak (T6 trigger) unwind |net| <= 0.5 * peak|net|, same sign, first per (w,a,day) price lean-side last print in [0.05, 0.95] at unwind Kill bar for the idea: STAY EV/unwind >= 0 at n >= 100 (exit rule adds nothing); informative if STAY <= -$3/unwind at n >= 100. VERDICT (2026-07-23 run; 318 unwinds, 265 chain-graded over 3 walk days): STAY +$5.95/unwind (58% lean-side hit) · FADE -$5.22 -> the pre-declared "exit rule adds nothing" bar is met at 2.6x the required n: holding through a maker-sharp's unwind WINS, fading it LOSES. Mirrors #21's taker-sharp finding one species over — the lean's information outlives the sharp's own profit-taking. Study C keeps NO exit rule. Caveats, stated plainly: day 1 of 3 was negative (-$7.87, n=40; days 2-3 +$5.77/+$10.38); and the STAY total (+$1,578) is CONCENTRATED — top-5 assets sum to +$3,113 in |contribution| vs a net-negative tail — so the positive EV is real for the exit-rule question (an exit rule would have cost money) but must NOT be read as a new harvestable edge. $500-2k peaks were strongest (+$14.83, 62% hit); $2k+ tiny-n (13) and flat.""" import json import os import sys import time sys.path.insert(0, "/Users/jaxmakielski/polymarket-smart-money/research") import tape # noqa: E402 import forward as fwd # noqa: E402 import maker_lean as ml # noqa: E402 LEAN_USD = 150.0 # FROZEN — must equal maker_lean.py NET_GROSS = 0.6 # FROZEN — must equal maker_lean.py UNWIND_FRAC = 0.5 BAND = (0.05, 0.95) def day_unwinds(db, lo, hi, sharps): rows = db.execute(""" SELECT lower(json_extract_string(payload,'$.proxyWallet')) w, json_extract_string(payload,'$.asset') a, json_extract_string(payload,'$.side') s, cast(json_extract(payload,'$.price') AS DOUBLE) p, cast(json_extract(payload,'$.size') AS DOUBLE) z, ts FROM aux WHERE type='orders_matched' AND ts >= ?
