LIMITS (enforced by code)
- Market: outside the regular session. New buys: blocked (outside the regular session).
- Your envelope: 3/4 entries in 24 h, 0/2 in the last hour, 0/4 open; one action per ticker per 30 min; no re-entry for 24 h after a stop-out or 6 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; $9704.87 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, 2026-11-06T21:12Z] 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.
- [MARKET, 2026-11-06T13:15Z] October Jobs report drops at 08:30 ET (15 min). Market is closed; new buys blocked until open. Will wait for the data release and initial volatility to settle before evaluating intraday or swing setups. Watches for VCRM and JMUB remain active.
- [MARKET, 2026-11-05T16:01Z] All 18 P1 setups are opening-range breakouts or new session highs occurring in the closing window (15:57-16:01Z) with no fundamental catalysts in our feeds. Conviction is low due to lack of news and the closing window environment. No new entries.
- [MARKET, 2026-11-04T21:10Z] Market closed higher (SPY +1.48%). No positions held. Ready for tomorrow's open to look for setups.
- [MARKET, 2026-11-04T20:40Z] Closing window (20:40Z). All intraday positions (BUG, SNX) will be closed by code. No new entries permitted by envelope (3/4 in 24h, 0/2 in last hour, but closing window rules and prior fullness apply). No new entries.
