I honestly didn't do it for trading. I did it because PlanB's STFX model interested me but is like ok you can't do a regression on his stuff and get a statistically significant model for BTC using daily pricing. He did stuff where it was like grouping things together for certain time periods gave you statistical significance but it was fuzzy math.

I watched some thing where people were sliding gm2 money supply around and matching peaks and troths with Bitcoin. Really rudimentary stuff. But I was like huh, it does look like btc lags gm2 but it was obvi not directly corelate.

I started thinking about how scarce assets go up in value first when there is inflation; inflation is a result of M2 creation. I wonder if I can sharpen up S2F and prove to myself it is the legit driver of BTC value.

Then when I got a bump on my first try I started tinkering around with lag because M2 doesnt create inflation overnight. Then finding the best lag. Then plotting r2 value over different lag times. Once I optimized GM2 lag I was like we'll what about lag on S2F. That tightening shouldn't be felt overnight either.

As you can see once I start digging into something I can't stop. Messed with weighting and smoothing and lag and optimized each. I think I could get it even tighter if I used daily pricing instead of weekly. But .97 is very high and it probably would still round to .97 no matter what.

Had to share because I thought it was cool and I thought it was weird that optimized smoothing and lag all were fibs.

When I find the time I'll test it myself independently. Don't trust, verify!

But your work looks solid.

Don't trust,; verify.

If you run into any issues let me know and I'll walk you through it. There were a lot of things I tweaked to get better r2. Like instead of big delta bumps once a month in GM2 I took the delta and divided it into the weeks of the month. Stuff like that.

So I opened a long yesterday on nostr:nprofile1qqs0eah7ur54n3cetkkutum0uk58xqpm8z08qvef8vrq2lyzrl9un3gppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qys8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttjv4kxz7fwd3hx6ctjddjhguewvdhk6tcxz4m5q based on my (simplified) interpretation of this. Going well.

We'll see how it does over the next 15 days.

I expect to make a few million sats at least. I will zap generously if I do!

I even made it on the leaderboard... although at a humble 10th place.

Still, can't complain...
