How the strategy participates

Held only while funding is high enough; both legs close together when it falls.

Compare returns from different starting points.

The 2023-onward curve is a slice of the same backtest, carrying over its exposure and risk state. Each curve is rebased to 100 at its own starting point.

Costs, assumptions & engine differences

Framework backtest: the same process and risk controls as live trading, taker fees, slippage estimated from the liquidity at the time, perpetual funding as paid, liquidations simulated on 1-hour mark prices. The curve starts at 100; whole period.
