Information date
Macro tags must use information known at the trade timestamp. Revised economic data and retrospective intervention labels can introduce look-ahead.

A macro story is not an entry rule
MARGIN 16USDJPY Daily strategies often inherit a carry, central-bank, or yield-differential narrative. Those variables can motivate a hypothesis, but the replay still needs deterministic price rules and a dated information set. Do not use later policy knowledge to relabel an earlier trade.
Daily positions cross rollovers, weekends, and occasionally large gaps. Model financing or state its exclusion, define stop fills through gaps, and show how much total performance comes from the largest few days. A single policy shock can dominate a small swing sample.
Macro tags must use information known at the trade timestamp. Revised economic data and retrospective intervention labels can introduce look-ahead.
Store long and short holding cost assumptions, rollover time, and day-count treatment. Carry is part of a multi-day return, not decorative context.
Report the largest winner, largest loser, and performance with each removed. This reveals whether one discontinuity created the headline.
A plausible macro explanation does not make an unreproducible price decision testable.
Daily USDJPY behaviour can change with relative rate expectations and risk conditions, yet those relationships are not fixed. If yield or policy data enters the rule, store publication timestamps, revisions, and the value genuinely available at the decision.
Longer holding periods make weekend gaps, overnight financing, and rare policy shocks material. Report the path and worst adverse excursion, not just the final return from a long directional period.
| Measurement | How to define it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| D1 construction | Feed cutoff, timezone, DST and Sunday-bar policy | Defines patterns and indicator values |
| Macro availability | Source, release timestamp, revision policy, decision lag | Prevents revised or future data leakage |
| Holding economics | Financing, nights held, gaps, slippage | Makes multi-day outcomes net and executable |
| Regime balance | Trades by rate, volatility, direction, and calendar segment | Shows concentration in one yen trend |
Do not call a strategy robust merely because it spans several named events. Robustness requires adequate independent observations and stability under plausible data, cost, and rule variations.
Minimum evidence label: publish the rule version, instrument and feed, timezone, dates, opportunity count, quote and cost model, unresolved-trade policy, holdout status, and uncertainty with the result.
