"The stop this horizon's volatility asks for is wider than the 25% this prototype allows, so it was capped. The stop therefore sits closer than the asset's own range implies and the position is larger than the ATR rule alone would give: ordinary noise can take it out before the idea is wrong. PONS: stop clamped at 25%; the ATR rule gave 66.2%.",
"There is no spot market for this asset on Hyperliquid, so the carry cannot be hedged here: the short leg alone is a naked short, not a funding harvest. PONS has no USDC spot pair, so what is left is a naked short: this ticket caps it at $799.74 (5x the risk budget) and puts a stop on it rather than pricing a carry that cannot be built here.",
