🐱 CARACAL v1.0 — Volatility Hedge Fund

Caracal runs two concurrent strategy wallets that harvest volatility expansion. One producer script (caracal-producer.py) serves both; the CARACAL_LEG env var selects which book a given daemon is. It trades movement, not direction — each book takes the breakout long or short, whichever way it breaks.

The edge is volatility. Compression precedes expansion, and a breakout from a low-volatility coil has higher follow-through than a breakout in already-volatile tape. Caracal only fires when a name has been coiling (recent ATR << baseline ATR) and breaks its range and the breakout bar is an outsized move.
