Methodology
Constructed paths
A deterministic walk that is required to end on the snapshot.
Updated 2026-09-27
The demonstration has one timestamp. A chart still needs a shape, so EPIC draws a seeded walk whose last point is the snapshot mark, basis and funding. The reference anchor stays flat because the file does not contain a cash tape.
These paths are labelled constructed. They are not a backtest, not a venue archive, and not a forecast. Funding points are clamped to the sample cap and floor. The final point is forced to the snapshot so the chart cannot disagree with the contract page.
