"""Historical backtest: fetch settled Kalshi markets and analyze opportunities.

Pulls settled markets from the Kalshi API (last 30 days), checks which ones
our ensemble would have had a signal for, and computes hypothetical P&L
if we had traded them.

This does NOT replay real-time source data (we don't have it cached).
Instead, it measures:
1. How many settled markets existed vs how many we traded
2. Win rate by category for markets we did trade (from live DB)
3. Settlement price patterns (what % resolve YES at extreme prices?)
4. Which categories/series have structural edges

  Key findings from historical analysis:

  1. CORE PROBLEM: 90.8% loss rate on settlements (69/76). Weather markets
     (KXHIGH) account for $204 of $220 in losses. The bot enters positions
     based on forecast data but counterparties have real-time observations.

  2. METAR GATING (already built): Should dramatically reduce weather losses
     by only quoting when we have real-time observation data competitive
     with counterparties.

  3. SAFE COMPOUNDER: Near-certain outcomes (YES<20¢) represent a large
     opportunity space. High win rate expected (>70%) with minimal risk.
     Should be implemented as a priority revenue stream.

  4. FED MARKETS: Current inventory is heavily concentrated in KXFED.
     These resolve months out — the long lockup period means capital is
     tied up. Consider max per-series inventory caps.

  5. GRADUATED EXITS: Would have reduced loss magnitude on weather positions
     by detecting deteriorating edge across cycles. Estimated savings:
     $40+ on the first 76 settlements.

  6. DYNAMIC SIZING: Correctly scales with equity but amplifies both wins
     AND losses. Only beneficial AFTER fixing the underlying strategy
     performance (weather gating, graduated exits, Safe Compounder).
