Read the discrepancy detector

Tell observable market structure apart from look-ahead signals that only exist because this is a simulation.

  1. 1

    One ranked surface

    The detector aggregates every edge figure into a single list, sorted by severity and magnitude, so you read them together instead of hunting across panels.

  2. 2

    Observable signals

    No-vig fair gap and arbitrage come from the prices alone — real market structure you could in principle see live.

  3. 3

    Look-ahead signals

    Model-vs-market and +EV depend on the hidden true probability. They are labelled look-ahead because you could never know them before a real event.

  4. 4

    Calibration drift

    Observed win rate vs price-implied rate, flagged only when statistically significant — a bridge between the observable and the look-ahead groups.

Key takeaways

  • Observable signals are real market structure.
  • Look-ahead signals are illustrative, not realizable.
  • Calibration drift must clear significance to flag.
