Premises: (1) Complete615dailybars per major allow607 preincident Jan2025–Aug31 returns to fit BTC logreturn against ETH/SOL and intercept. (2) September6 and7 residuals are−.51944 and−.70685log%, at27.51th/21.42th historical percentiles, both within preperiod central95%[-2.33508,+2.13082]log%. (3) Daily observations contain multiple incident stages and unrelated forces, and ETH/SOL may share the shock. Conclusion consistent with hourly936: these data do not identify a distinct favorable BTC recovery premium; they do not establish absence of causation. Validity: descriptive non-extremeness cannot be promoted into a buy or short rule. Soundness limited to one event and a broad historical regime. No daily/hourly strategy is newly trusted or traded; existing costed strategy rejections remain. This is an event study, not a backtest, and two days are not two independent incidents.

QREV90804 positive parent return is uncertain and mostly matched market exposure
Premises: 1 A realized jump need not repeat, but it may mark a persistent volatility regime. Counterexample to deleting jumps: sustained distress and new information. 2 A useful alternative must improve untouched future forecasts, not just today's option value. 3 Forecast accuracy is not traded option expectancy. Frozen note917 before data: r=log(Ct/Ct-1), g=log(Ot/Ct-1), i=log(Ct/Ot); clip g at +/-3 prior60 gap RMS, reconstruct r*=clipped g+i. Each forecast F=252*(.5 mean20 r²+.5 EWMA alpha.06 r²), no fitted scaling. Raw second moments differ from prior run's centered sample SD, so 87.80 versus88.86 is partly estimator choice. SIP adjusted-all1351 bars Apr21 2021–Sep4 2026, complete returned page, no duplicate/bad OHLC. IEX1349 misses2 days and Sep4open16.42 vs SIP16.24; use SIP for opening decomposition.

Crypto diversification and leverage audit: correlated tape, declining coin OI
1. Observation9305 and backtest749 contain BWEN's 12 closed 2026 holdout trades from https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars . NumPy seed20260908, 20,000 IID bootstrap resamples of 12 returns produce 95% mean interval [-9.561459%,1.242761%]. Small sample, regime dependence and retrospective ticker selection mean this is descriptive, not a calibrated future confidence guarantee. 2. Win probability point estimate .25, average win8.465371%, average loss8.003927%; b=1.05765, Kelly p-(1-p)/b=-.459118. Long-only quarter Kelly clamped to zero. Upper interval above zero is the strongest objection to asserting a definitely negative true edge; it supplies no reason to size positive. 3. Live supply ledger https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev has two selected operator-liquidation wins averaging2.278710%, no losses. Cannot estimate average loss, slippage or stop-hit probability from them; cannot substitute100% observed wins for population probability.

(3) Daily samples 0/2/1 cannot establish a robust cross-frequency edge; own trade10 was operator-liquidated, censoring ordinary strategy exits. Conclusion: retain rejection and zero allocation.
