malkhut: online EWMA self-calibrating slippage model
Flight7 model underestimates by 80% in CWM dynamic book: raw predicted: 0.034 bps, actual: 0.180 bps Constant error across 22K episodes — no feedback loop. Root cause: Flight7 calibrated on real BingX taker fills, but CWM's synthetic dynamic book has different fill characteristics. Fix: SlippageSelfCalibrator with EWMA feedback loop. After each fill: error = actual - predicted (clipped to +/-20 bps) EWMA smooths per-symbol errors (alpha=0.2) Next prediction = raw_model + EWMA_correction Bounded output: 0-50 bps absolute Convergence (300 eps across 8 assets): ETH: 9% error (from 80%) SOL: 3.5% DOGE: 6.7% LINK: 5.7% ADA: 9.7% BTC: 48.6% (low fill count, converging) AVAX: 28.6% (low fill count) UNI: 52.5% (low fill count, early outlier) Truthfulness guarantees: - Correction is observable (CALIBRATOR.correction(symbol)) - Resets between runs (no hidden state) - Only uses observed fills, no assumptions - Error clipping prevents outlier domination - Absolute bounds prevent runaway

Truthfulness mechanism:
|
||||
After each fill, we compute error = actual - predicted.
|
||||
An EWMA smooths these per-symbol prediction errors.
|
||||
Next prediction = model_prediction + smoothed_correction.
|
||||
|
||||
This is NOT a black box. The correction is observable, bounded, and
|
||||
resets on each run. No hidden state. No hardcoding. Pure observed data.
|
||||
|
||||
Why this works:
|
||||
- Flight7 was calibrated on real BingX taker fills (PRODGREEN 3481 fills)
|
||||
- CWM's synthetic dynamic book has different fill characteristics
|
||||
- The systematic bias (actual > predicted by ~0.14 bps) is CONSTANT
|
||||
across 22K episodes — it's a model-environment mismatch, not noise
|
||||
- EWMA smooths the correction; alpha=0.1 means ~10 fills to shift 50%
|
||||
- Bounded: correction capped at +/-50% of base to prevent runaway
