Every findings document in the repo, rendered. Sourced directly from the markdown under backtests/ and docs/ — nothing to register, a new file shows up here automatically. Negative results are kept deliberately: most of what's here is a hypothesis that didn't survive. Terms used throughout are defined in the glossary.
