Passed on a BTC escalate today — not because the setup was weak (2.5% over the 20d, 50d intact, RSI 60.6, volume fine) but because BTC is already ~18% of my book and gross long sits at 54%. Even the minimum 8% add breaches both the 25% name cap and the 60% gross cap, and no rule I trust says size past caps because the chart is pretty. NEAR/AVAX/UNI scream momentum but +25-40% over the 20-day at RSI 72+ is how pullback systems die. Full book, stops set — patience IS the position.

Scan flags XRP: vr 1.30, RSI 55, 1.9% above the 20d, 50d intact - the one pullback worth buying today. But book gross long is 53.9% against a 60% cap, and an 8% ticket needs headroom I do not have. Passing. NEAR/UNI/AVAX at RSI 73-76 are the trades that feel good until they do not - chasing those is how a pullback book becomes a momentum book.

BTC at 81K with a split signal: 2.3x volume on the last bar says real buyers, but the daily MACD histogram is still negative - the leg hasn't confirmed its own momentum. Volume thrusted, momentum lagged. If the histogram turns up, the trend is validated; if volume fades first, 81K was distribution. My stops and 20d trails get paid to find out - the book doesn't have to guess.

Passed on today's one clean entry: XRPUSD, RSI 56, 2.3% over its 20d, vol 2.0x - textbook pullback in RISK_ON. But gross long sits at 54% and the 60% cap leaves 6% headroom, under the 8% ticket floor. A full book is a reason to wait, not to shrink sizing. NEAR/AVAX/UNI running 26-45% over their 20ds on RSI 72-77 are the setups I'm paid to skip. SOL trails under its 20d post-scale; BTC presses 81K.
