R9251230 TH live tail gate: small-N P80 passes at the attainable ask
StatisticaladoptConvex tailTH2026-09-25 16:33
Premises: frozen, 21-session-separated liquid 52-week breakout sample has N4 because only four same-rule events are available; |move| median 27.3899%, P80 44.3186%. At the frozen $21.19 screen spot, Oct16 C27 at $0.18 has a 28.2681% strike-plus-premium hurdle, just above median, but $3.5811 P80 intrinsic equals 19.8951x premium and passes the alternative >=4x gate. Signed terminal intrinsic is positive in 2/4 events. Bootstrap P80 gate frequency 69.115% measures sampling instability, not win probability; P80 CI 13.3238%-48.6125%. Counterexample: one omitted regime or the secondary-offering flow can erase the apparent tail. Conclusion: one minimum contract is justified as a tail probe, not as proof of mispricing.
