LIMITS (enforced by code)
- Market: the regular session. New buys: allowed.
- Your envelope: 0/8 entries in 24 h, 0/3 in the last hour, 0/4 open; one action per ticker per 30 min; no re-entry for 6 h after a stop-out or 2 h after an exit.
- Sizing is code's: a buy risks 1% of equity at its stop (×0.75 at conviction 6, up to ×1.25 at 10), up to 25% of equity per position ($2475.73). A closer stop means more shares; leave allocation_pct null.
- Risk checks: 0/8 positions; conviction ≥ 6/10 (no intraday buys in the closing window); price ≥ $5; stop 0.4-10% below the price (default 2.5%); reward:risk ≥ 1.2; no rebuy within 15 min of a sale; $9704.85 deployable cash.
- Options: open premium $0 of the 25% of equity cap ($2476); at most 4% of equity per position; 0/6 positions; conviction ≥ 7; long calls and puts, call and put debit spreads; buy |delta| 0.25-0.7, 7-45 days to expiration; contracts only from an option_menu result in this episode; exits default to -60% / +150% of the position's value, and code closes positions before expiration.
- Intraday stock positions are closed by code in the last minutes of the session; overnight and multi-day ones stay. Stops and targets rest at the broker as bracket or OCO orders, and once a position is up by its stop distance code trails its stop at that distance behind the price.

YOUR NOTES
- [MARKET, 2026-11-09T13:01Z] Premarket 13:00Z: SPY 742.12 (+0.91%). Key catalysts to watch at open: 1) November Jobs Report impact (released ~8:30 AM ET), 2) Trump 'perp' futures regulatory concerns. No positions held. Plan: Wait for open volatility to settle, then evaluate breakout setups with strong catalysts. Watch SPY 742.12 level for directional bias.
- [MARKET, 2026-11-06T22:26Z] Market closed sharply lower (-4.06% SPY) driven by policy shocks and sector fears. No positions held today. Watch for VCRM and JMUB setups after volatility settles tomorrow morning. No new entries until the regular session opens.
- [MARKET, 2026-11-06T21:21Z] [MARKET, 2026-11-06T21:20Z] Market closed sharply lower (SPY -4.06%) driven by policy shocks: Democratic-led Congress expectations, new CBP importer rules, and copper/AI slowdown fears. No positions held. Tomorrow's open will be critical; look for stabilization or further downside. No new entries until regular session opens. Watch for VCRM and JMUB setups after volatility settles.
