June 2026 — Strategy Metrics

Data snapshot: 2026-06-30 22:22 UTC (stag/paper combined). Cohort = strategies created in June (creation inferred from uptime). Pre-June strategies that ran into June are excluded from the cohort total; their lifetime P&L was restated by the Jun-3 dust closure and is not reliable (see MRRP incident note).

Active Live Cohort (June)

The OKX MM v16 arms — the breakeven story. Huge volume, ~63-70% win rate, per-fill P&L near zero.

Strategy Status P&L Trades Volume Win Rate Margin (bps)
MMTV_v16_eth_okx_basiscancel ACTIVE +$0.11 1956 $49,188 66% +0.02
MMTV_v16_btc_okx_basiscancel ACTIVE -$0.69 1643 $48,771 67% -0.14
MMTV_v16_btc_okx_sigcancel2 ACTIVE -$0.12 6051 $180,352 70% -0.01
MMTV_v16_eth_okx_sigcancel2 ACTIVE -$1.06 8072 $202,101 69% -0.05
MMTV_v16_eth_okx_exitonly ACTIVE -$1.56 6962 $175,312 66% -0.09
MMTV_v16_btc_okx_exitonly ACTIVE -$1.72 5317 $158,797 63% -0.11
MeanReversion_v21_loosen_fast_eth ACTIVE +$0.17 1 $50 100% +33.4
MR_v21 (tight_sr ×2, loosen_fast_btc) ACTIVE $0.00 0

Active cohort total: -$4.88 — all near-flat; the v16 arms are the "OKX MM at breakeven" evidence (exit-policy baseline exitonly, +imb5 sigcancel2, +basis A/B basiscancel).

June Cohort Aggregate

Split P&L Count
Active at snapshot -$4.88 10
Disabled / ERROR / KILLED (frozen) -$37.20 24
June-created cohort total -$42.08 34
Family P&L Note
MarketMaking -$40.78 v16 arm churn — cost of driving OKX MM to breakeven + A/B levers
StatsArb -$1.88 v20 ETH/BTC (retired — not cointegrated)
MeanReversion +$0.58 v19→v21; live-positive but knife-edge

Read: like May, the cost is almost entirely MarketMaking iteration — but this time it bought a result (breakeven + the exit-policy finding + the follower/basis path), not just a verdict. The two KILLED arms (r2, r5 at -$5 each) were naive controls, killed as designed.

The Edge Scan — Verdict Table (31 memos)

Survived (the shortlist)

Class Verdict Gate
OKX MM (v16) ~breakeven via inventory-aware exit; signal can't be sized (own-book adverse selection) follower venue / basis to clear breakeven
MR liquidity provision (risk transfer), live-positive 9W/1L wheel-vs-live reconciliation (fill model #380 shipped; test regime via available May-Jun OKX tape vs closed-bar/open-bar entry — cadence-independent)
Stablecoin-pair MM per-fill positive at zero rebate (peg removes adverse selection) thin-book + rebate venue + depeg breaker (OKX fill-rate → $0)
Momentum premium survives net-of-cost / OOS / breadth (63 coins); = long crypto beta mandate (want beta?) + alt ORDER_RULES for 4-coin
VRP (BTC) only positive deriv sub-item; Sharpe ~0.65, decaying, 2-3× cost derivatives access
BUS cross-venue MM +0.5-0.7 bps/fill with rebate volume-capped ~$/day — option/relationship

All survivors sit in the Risk-transfer root of the edge taxonomy (paid to bear risk, not to predict). Nothing in the Information (prediction) or Structure (scheduled/mechanical) roots survived. Carry ≈ 0 net and cross-sectional −140%/yr are dead; neither is additive to VRP.

Killed (do not re-litigate without new data)

Class Why
Multi-asset direction / relative value non-viable every axis (kline, funding/OI, order-book, cross-sectional L/S)
Order-book OFI microstructure signal real (IC ~0.20) but sub-fee as a taker + rebate-positive fills can't be gated as a maker — a cost/economics wall, not latency (which is untested — decay-curve question)
Execution-layer fill-quality ML adversarial sub-root resists prediction
On-chain (flow-dir, capture, AMM-LP, MEV, liq, unlocks) killed or infra/speed-gated (builder oligopoly, LVR)
Mechanical flows (funding-settle, seasonality, ToM) nothing monetizable
VSR range-scalp · ML-combination · ML-mid-for-MM negative on production-grade backtest
StatsArb ETH/BTC not cointegrated — retired
USDC/USDT basis · crash-avoidance · gamma/liquidation not viable / tested-down / access-gated

Strategy Type Evolution (Apr → May → Jun)

Type Apr May Jun State
MarketMaking -$0.71, $63K vol ETH marginal +, BTC − ~breakeven, $200K/arm vol Closest live thread; needs follower/basis
MeanReversion +$1.59 v19 held, small n v21 A/B, live-positive knife-edge Reclassified: liquidity provision
Momentum v2 deployed, 63-coin confirmed Survives — but it's long crypto beta (mandate)
TrendFollowing (prediction) +$0.90 dead dead (confirmed) Killed — replaced by momentum premium
StatsArb -$3.43 parked retired (not cointegrated) Dead
