YOUR NOTES
- [MARKET, 2026-11-03T16:53Z] Closing window. All setups are opening-range breakouts with no fundamental catalysts. No new entries. Positions closed by code if any existed (none held).
- [MARKET, 2026-11-03T16:28Z] Closing window (16:28Z). All setups are opening-range breakouts occurring after 16:15Z with no fundamental catalysts (CAH, PODD, HYMB, EGP, CAG, ED) or only minor anomalies (CR, CTAS). Conviction is low due to lack of news and the closing window environment. No new entries. Positions will be closed by code if any existed (none held).
- [MARKET, 2026-11-03T16:23Z] Closing window. Most setups lack fundamental catalysts. No new entries.
- [MARKET, 2026-11-03T16:18Z] Multiple opening-range breakouts detected in the closing window (16:14-16:18Z). FICO, PGX, SRLN, XLF, DIA, LQDA, PKG, RBC, GL, IWN, QYLD, TYL, PFG, SWKS, AEE, NBIX, JBHT, BKLN, AVAV, VCLT, SIG, ITT, KYMR, CMS. Most are ETFs or low-float names with no specific news catalysts other than volume anomalies. The market is in the closing window; new intraday buys are generally discouraged unless conviction is very high and the setup is clean. Given the lack of fundamental catalysts for most of these br
- [MARKET, 2026-11-03T14:30Z] Inside opening buffer until 14:40Z. No new buys allowed. Will scan for opening-range breakouts and new highs on heavy volume after the buffer clears.

YOUR WATCHES
- 727531d9-a4cc-41ef-8df3-d35566505a3c: news on CGNX at severity 60+, until 2026-11-04T17:41Z. Note: CGNX is up 6.5% today, trading above all key SMAs and VWAP. However, intraday RSI is elevated at 73.7, suggesting short-term exhaustion. The news is generic earnings chatter (T2) with no specific catalyst for today's move. The setup is technically strong but lacks fundamental confirmation. I will wa
- 3a53e53f-3d30-4f2f-a074-ac871e155438: MYRG above 292.4, until 2026-11-04T17:52Z. Note: MYRG broke above its opening range but is below VWAP (289.24) and SMA20 (284.98). The T1 anomaly is unconfirmed. Wait for a retest of the breakout level or a move above VWAP with volume. No entry yet.
