Forward-paper, not live. Real Tastytrade chains — real IV, skew, and a conservative bid fill on the written call — replace the flat-ATM-IV assumption of the modelled screen (which overstated the premium). The question: does the real premium still clear the matched naked long the way the model claimed? Gate inherits the S032 spec §9 (per-trade Sortino > matched naked long, tail-aware). Directional until the promotion horizon — frozen at ≥ 30 completed trades or 12 months, whichever first (5/30 trades · 3.1/12 months); nothing is promoted or called live before then. Low-alpha by design, risk-reducing, not tail-protected.
