Experimental Paper-Observation Queue

These six option strategies may be observed prospectively because their historical ROI, adverse-cost ROI, and Sharpe were positive and their only failed gate was sample size. They are not historically validated and cannot submit live orders.

FROZEN RULE

No retrospective fill-in

A missed future observation remains missing. Historical data cannot later be relabeled as prospectively observed.

SAFETY

Paper execution remains isolated

The paper-order adapter is locked to Alpaca's paper endpoint and separate paper credentials. Central risk and kill-switch controls can reject an order, and the deployment contains no live-order URL.
