Frozen study

Does any segment of the market rescue the signal?

No. One cut survives out of many, which is what pure chance predicts.

34 cuts were tested in each of 3 fee scenarios, 102 tests in total, and 1 survived. That is not encouraging, it is expected: run this many tests on noise and roughly one will look good anyway. The survivor nets +0.008 cents, and its interval [-0.112, +0.203] contains zero, so it is not distinguishable from luck. Across all firings the net stays at -2.50 cents.
