zhaoli 6e3c82408c ch11: signal-quality gate REFUTED — walk-forward workflow shows gate harmful (exp 61-67, EVIDENCE#053) 2026-08-21 02:35:50 +00:00
zhaoli c367e25889 ch11: add EVIDENCE#052 — signal-quality gate works across ALL years (2021-2026)
The signal-quality gate (hit-rate based on topk predictions) is the OPPOSITE
of the regime gate: it improves returns across every year, including bad ones.

Best config (hitrate_5d_0.50):
- 2026: +65.0% (base +25.5%)
- 2025: +72.1% (base +17.8%)
- 2024: +30.4% (base +8.2%)
- 2023: +54.7% (base -4.8%)
- 2021: +55.7% (base +18.4%)

The regime gate asked 'is the market calm?' (wrong question).
The signal-quality gate asks 'are my predictions accurate?' (right question).
