careful with this.

careful with this. paper trading neglects the fact that, especially on trading exchanges, an army of bots front runs even smaller trades. perp rates universally fluctuate very differently than the historical trading data, not because of microbots but because large trades moved them that are not based on normal trading metrics. in fact a lot of the price action is *because* of the larger trades, so the signal is not inherent to the regime or traditional options/momentum tendencies. "you haven't really vibe codes til you stack up an accidental $1k bill" = "you aren't a real trader until you've been eaten alive leveraging a back tested paper strategy that had incredible results." still, it works.
