AlphaLuck 2.1.0: Prediction Arena and revised Alpha Arena calculations

This research release adds the Prediction Arena trading-versus-holding comparison and the revised Alpha Arena calculations used in Trading versus Holding in a Live Language-Model Competition.

The attached AlphaLuck_replication_supplement_v2.1.0.zip is a standalone saved-data package. It contains Prediction Arena transaction reconciliation, external cash flows, wallet-paid network costs, settlement evidence, valuation bounds and formation checks at 12, 24 and 48 hours. It also contains corrected Alpha Arena funding alignment, all 336 formation hours, both joint-stress directions and prior-only threshold checks. Start with README.txt after extracting the archive.

The repository's reproduction/ tree includes the additional cost, cash/index, instrument-deletion and overlapping-window checks. Earlier standalone Quantlets retain their October inputs and are labelled accordingly; use replication_20261102/ for the revised margin calculations.

Saved-data calculations and unit checks passed. Prediction Arena results agree with the manuscript at the reported precision; sorted accumulation also makes the saved outputs reproducible across Python hash seeds. The revised Alpha Arena sweeps agree with the expected results within numerical precision.

The comparison remains descriptive. GPT is reported separately because of an unmatched order; one attributable account starts in cash. Formation time, valuation and margin assumptions matter. Raw organiser snapshots, complete operator decision logs, private feedback and submission documents are not distributed in this release. Third-party records retain their source attribution and licence notices.
