Field notes
The protocol distinguishes reduced position sizes from risk displaced into trading frequency, holding time, or leverage, and treats each participant as their own control. It lays out a bot’s commands and safeguards and reports 108 acceptance checks; the page also says screening is disabled and recruitment has not begun. The researcher says the study is not designed to determine whether 24 hours is the correct cooling-off interval.
