# # S&P 500 Options: Holdout Backtest
#
# **Chapter 20 - Out-of-sample evaluation**
#
# [`16_holdout_predictions`](16_holdout_predictions.ipynb) refitted the selected
# configuration on the history before the holdout window and wrote its predictions over it.
# This notebook writes straddles from them, with the concentration, the allocator, the entry
# schedule, the hedge rule and the cost assumption the rest of the case study used, and
# registers the result.
#
# Nothing is chosen here. The predictions, the allocator, the concentration, the weekly entry
# schedule, the delta-hedge threshold and the per-leg charges all arrive fixed from earlier
# notebooks, and the only thing this notebook decides is that they are applied unchanged. That
# is the whole design: a holdout result is worth something exactly to the extent that no
# decision was made after seeing it, and every knob left open here would be a decision.
#
# The comparison to validation is printed but not interpreted. The validation figure is the
# maximum of a ranking over the whole sweep and the holdout figure is one measurement over a
# single year; what can be said about the gap between them is
# [`18_strategy_analysis`](18_strategy_analysis.ipynb)'s subject, with the intervals to say
# it.
#
# **Prerequisites:** [`16_holdout_predictions`](16_holdout_predictions.ipynb).
#
# **Scope:** one backtest. No selection, no comparison beyond a printed pair.

#
# The selected configuration is resolved the same way [`15_costs`](15_costs.ipynb) and
# [`16_holdout_predictions`](16_holdout_predictions.ipynb) resolve it, so all three run the
# same configuration by construction rather than by a hash copied between them.
#
# Which holdout prediction set belongs to it is derived rather than searched for. Re-deriving the
# holdout training specification reproduces the training identity 16 registered - the derivation is
# deterministic and the identity covers it - so the prediction set is looked up by that identity
# and the selected configuration's checkpoint. A search over holdout prediction sets would have to
# guess which one belonged to this configuration, and this registry has held holdout prediction
# sets that belonged to no refit at all.

# ## 2. The request, and what may run on the window
#
# The strategy is the selected configuration's own, read off its registered specification and
# re-pointed at the holdout prediction set. `signal` carries the entry schedule, the
# liquid-universe filter and the concentration; `allocation` carries the sizing. Neither is retyped
# here, so a rebuilt sweep cannot leave this notebook running last quarter's strategy.
#
# **The window carries one backtest.** 16's guard is on the model - the training identity and
# the checkpoint - and it cannot see this one: a changed allocator, concentration or cost
# level produces the same holdout predictions and a different result from them. Two things
# enforce it, and they catch different mistakes. The check below refuses a holdout-stage
# backtest that belongs to some other prediction set, which is a second *configuration*
# measured on the window. The official population this run publishes refuses a second
# *strategy* over the same predictions: the name already exists with a different member list,
# and `create` will not overwrite it without being told which generation it replaces, which
# this notebook does not say.
#
# Both refuse rather than offering a replacement switch. Deleting a result that has been seen
# does not unsee it, and the selection bias it introduces is not removed by removing the rows.

# ## 3. The backtest
#
# The run goes through `run_official_backtest_requests`, the same call the validation sweeps
# use, with `split="holdout"` naming the price window. It is a parameter rather than a second
# code path on purpose: the entry schedule, the delta hedge and the settlement at intrinsic
# value are identical in both windows and only the prices differ, so a holdout-specific copy of
# that function would be a copy that can drift from the one every validation number came from.
#
# What that call does here is what it does everywhere in this case study. It resolves the short
# straddles the predictions imply, replays that resolution in a fresh interpreter and refuses
# to continue if the two disagree, publishes the decision artifact, computes the backtest
# identity before executing, and registers the run under it.
#
# The run registers under `stage='holdout'`, which the registry derives from the prediction
# set's split rather than from anything asserted here. That is checked below rather than
# trusted: if the inference ever stopped taking precedence, the whole out-of-sample result
# would land in `allocation` and 18 would find no holdout at all, which is a failure two
# notebooks away from its cause.

# ## 4. What it came out at
#
# The two numbers below are one strategy measured on two disjoint periods, and the gap between
# them is not an estimate of decay. The validation figure is the maximum of a ranking over the
# whole sweep, so it carries the selection; the holdout figure is one measurement over a single
# year, so it carries that window's sampling error. Both push the pair apart on their own,
# before any real change in the strategy's edge - and this configuration's validation Sharpe is
# already negative, so what the holdout can confirm or disturb is a negative result rather than
# a positive one.
#
# [`18_strategy_analysis`](18_strategy_analysis.ipynb) is where they are given intervals and a
# paired comparison.

# ## What this notebook establishes, and what it does not
#
# It establishes a return series for the selected configuration over a period no choice in this
# case study was made on. That is the only thing a holdout can give, and it is worth less than
# it looks: one year of weekly straddle cohorts is a small number of independent observations,
# which is too few to separate a strategy that decayed from one that had an ordinary year.
#
# It does not establish that this configuration was the right one to carry here. The selection
# that brought it was made on validation, over a pool large enough that its maximum is
# optimistic by construction, and this notebook inherits that pool without correcting for it.
# The deflation is [`18_strategy_analysis`](18_strategy_analysis.ipynb)'s.
#
# Re-running this notebook against the same configuration is free and idempotent - the backtest
# identity is unchanged and the registered run is served back. A different configuration is refused,
# for the reason 16 gives.
#
# **Next:** [`18_strategy_analysis`](18_strategy_analysis.ipynb).
