假设：The asset growth-return relation is not a simple linear negative slope, but a nonlinear U-shaped or inverted U-shaped function driven by mispricing correction.

观测：Firms at both extremes of the asset growth distribution — those shrinking sharply and those growing explosively — share a set of characteristics that make them hard to value.

逻辑：Realized returns contain both an expected-return component and a mispricing-correction component. For asset growth, the mispricing component dominates and is itself a nonlinear function of asset growth.

假设：A strategy's live performance will drift from its backtested performance, which can be detected by comparing recent performance windows against historical windows of similar market conditions.

观测：My live-vs-backtest check flagged over a third of strategies each month

逻辑：Market regimes are persistent, meaning a strategy's behavior in a specific market environment (e.g., defensive) is not independent from month to month, leading to serial correlation in performance metrics.

验证：The author uses rolling windows of the strategy's own history, comparing the last 6 rebalances against every 6-rebalance stretch in the strategy's history that occurred in a similar market (defined by trailing 12-month return and volatility). A Sidak correction is applied for the 4 metrics, and a flag requires the condition to hold for 2 consecutive rebalances.

证伪：The hypothesis is falsified if the live performance does not drift from the backtested performance, which would be indicated by the live-vs-backtest check flagging fewer than 3.5% of strategies per month.

观测：median winner went to about -0.38R first. 37 percent went past -0.5R. 17 percent went past -0.75R

逻辑：The distribution of drawdowns for winning trades is not uniform, but rather follows a specific shape (like a random walk) where a significant portion of winners will exceed a certain drawdown threshold.

验证：Measure the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) on a personal trade export and set the stop loss at the drawdown level where the winners do not go.

逻辑：Short-horizon realized variance does not match the scaled implied volatility, and the binary payoff's gamma explodes as expiry approaches, making small errors in volatility lead to large errors in fair value.
