Richie — Integration Sandbox

Throwaway note

Created by Claude to exercise the Obsidian connector. Safe to delete once you’ve eyeballed it.

Snapshot

Richie is running Strategy 1 — a delta-neutral perpetual funding capture play (long spot ETH + short ETH perp (1:1 notional) to collect funding) — in paper mode, building a clean validation sample.

Open threads

  • Pick Strategy #2 for parallel paper mode (strict isolation from S1 accounting + virtual capital)
  • Decide which higher-return strategy becomes the capital-growth engine
  • Reposition the funding bot as yield-on-idle-capital, not the self-bootstrapping compounder
  • Wire up Obsidian so notes live next to the code

Funding math (sketch)

Carry per cycle, ignoring fees and slippage:

def funding_pnl(notional_usd, funding_rate, cycles):
    # funding_rate per cycle (e.g. 8h window); positive => shorts get paid
    return notional_usd * funding_rate * cycles

Test log

A stable line to target for a block-level edit test.
