H-030: Live replication of H-028: daily forecasts of bigger-than-usual moves, published before 12:00 UTC

— Family: forecast · Status: registered

Do daily forecasts of big crypto moves work live? Data is being collected. The pre-registered test runs on 2027-11-01, once a year of data has accumulated.

Forward data collected: 0 of 368 days (0.0%). First test on 2027-11-01.

Result

Sharpe: return per unit of risk (higher is better). CAGR: average yearly growth. Max drawdown: worst fall from a peak. p-value: chance the result is luck (lower is better). “Hold” columns are buy-and-hold for the same asset and days. Glossary

Why it might work

Repeats H-028 live from 2026-10-29 with the same frozen monthly models. Every morning the workflow computes the forecasts from yesterday's close with that month's model (fitted on the month's first day, stored once in datasets/forecast_models/ and never refitted) and appends them to datasets/forecast_log.csv; the commit to GitHub proves they existed before the outcome. Only forecasts published before 12:00 UTC count; the outcome runs from the open of the 12:00 UTC hourly candle to the next day's (datasets/noon_prices.csv: Binance hourly files, Gate.io API), so the real delay between data and trade is in the test. The risk threshold of each day is the coin's median absolute daily move up to the decision day, stored with the forecast. First tested after about a year of live forecasts. Shares alpha with H-029 (0.05 / 2).
