Simulation results and assumptions
Explore the repository’s precomputed simulations for six stocks. Historical hourly bars are interpolated into one-minute paths, with configurable oracle delays and simulated order flow.
What liquidity providers lose to informed traders
Same $100k pool, same price path, arbitrageurs who know the true price every minute. Bellcurve: -4.1%/yr vs -18.4%/yr for a 0.30% constant-product pool. Worst single weekend: 0.00% of the pool.
| Pool | Market open | Closed | LP / yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| Constant-product, 0.30% fee | 127 bps | 121 bps | +14% |
| Constant-product, 1.00% fee | 177 bps | 173 bps | +67% |
| Oracle pool, no market hours | 68 bps | 106 bps | -29% |
| Bellcurve | 48 bps | 238 bps | +103% |
Closed-market trades cost more on Bellcurve on purpose: that is the price of real uncertainty, paid to the LPs who carry it.
| Oracle delay | 0.30% pool | Bellcurve |
|---|---|---|
| 2 s | -53.6% | -11.9% |
| 15 s | -53.6% | -39.7% |
| 60 s | -53.6% | -61.7% |
At a minute of oracle delay, Bellcurve loses its edge on the most volatile names in these simulations. These scenarios do not establish live oracle latency or future performance.
These are precomputed repository results, not a new independent backtest. At the baseline 2-second oracle delay, NVDA LP value relative to holding was -11.9% for Bellcurve and -53.6% for the 0.30% constant-product pool. TSLA was -1.9% versus +13.1%. With a 60-second delay in a separate one-seed NVDA run, Bellcurve fell to -61.7% versus -53.6%. Results depend on assumptions and do not establish live performance.
The quote widens as the uncertainty does
97% of 163 weekends and holidays reopened inside Bellcurve's quote (±1.5σ√t).
71% moved more than a 0.30% fee. Historical price moves do not establish an executable or risk-free trading opportunity.
Red dots are gaps beyond the quote; there the closed-market curve and the price band limit the damage.
How market halts affect the prototype

Method: hourly SPY, QQQ, NVDA, TSLA, AAPL and MSTR bars (regular and extended hours) replayed at one-minute resolution with Brownian-bridge paths between prints; while the market is closed the path bridges to the next open, so informed traders learn the gap gradually. Arbitrageurs trade every mispriced pool as far as it pays; uninformed orders are identical across pools. 3 seeds; 2s oracle delay unless noted. Simulated, not a promise of future returns.
