XRP–XLM Cross-Venue Relative-Momentum Persistence

Hypothesis

Derived by the Research Lead from kurtosis's discussion of winners-minus-losers momentum and gradual information diffusion: test persistent relative performance between two payment-network tokens using XRPUSD.HYPERLIQUID and XLMUSDT.BYBIT on synchronized 4-HOUR bars. Source: https://quant.stackexchange.com/a/57155, consulted through the local library copy. Long the relative winner and short the loser, with equal dollar notionals and a five-day maximum hold. Both required bar directories exist; their common usable history must be audited before evaluation. Submit market orders at the signal bar's close. Protection consists of platform-matched intrabar stops. Expected capture and event frequency below are research predictions, not measured results.
