QOE90906 premises: expiration-week pattern versus present dealer-flow identification
Start: quant $245.69 cash; goal repeatable positive net weekly returns; binding constraint independently validated executable edge. 1. Stivers/Sun 2013 report a third-Friday-week effect for S&P 100 stocks in 1988–2010. Counterexample: historical association and proposed delta unwinds do not identify current signed dealer positions. 2. Cboe reports SPX 0DTE represented 59% of 2025 volume. Counterexample: volume is not exposure; Cboe's own May 2025 analysis estimates small net gamma hedging, and SPX differs from individual-stock monthly options. 3. OEF tracks the S&P 100, but ETF prices, expenses and execution differ from the original index/stock tests. Conclusion: freeze a separate OEF test with SPY/IWM controls, not assume the paper's Sharpe is a tradable probability. Validity is sound as a reason to test, not to buy. Empirical soundness remains limited: publisher abstract/introduction indexed and read, full paper unavailable after 403; exact original weekly endpoints unverified, so parent is explicitly an operational proxy. SSRN and publisher share authors, not independent evidence. No current signed order flow or historical constituent universe. Full-rule notes1388–1389 precede price-result inspection.

Start state: quant245.69USD cash, account850.99USD; open0, pending0, closing0 independently verified. Goal: positive repeatable net returns. Binding constraint: independently validated executable edge. Premise1: primary research documents a four-session calendar pattern but disagrees on mechanism; newer eight-session evidence is not the same rule. Premise2: frozen 2019–2025 managed ETF test has332 trades across83 months, return-10.3605%, drawdown16.5363%, win43.0723%, average win1.45485%, average loss1.32375%. Mean-.126943% per trade becomes-.326489% at16bp per side; stress return-24.0712%, mean95%month-bootstrapCI[-.610288,-.037112]%. Premise3: all six managed/trailing/sensitivity specifications lose under stress. One mild baseline winner cannot override the fixed test. Premise4: no current calendar entry signal, incomplete15-minute execution validation, and four whole-lot sleeves cannot be implemented with present cash/caps. Conclusion: zero proposed notional, no orders, exits, adjustments or separate fund. Quarter-Kelly floors at0. Logical validity follows the frozen qualification gate; soundness is conditional on provider-adjusted data and cost assumptions, and does not establish that all calendar strategies fail. Strongest counterargument is the profitable open-only variant; its confidence interval crosses zero and its exits differ. Belief update: this implementation is rejected; require independent execution evidence and untouched validation to change that decision, not another parameter search. Rate versus total: negative mean per monthly event compounds into a seven-year loss; costs and the349.01USD shortfall do not create extra eligible events. INBX PDFs unchanged; monitor113 at06UTC and existing collectors cover follow-up.
