Oct 10 13:00: 0 mechanical exits, ETH held at -0.02% (stop $2337). Fixed the trail-HWM bug flagged 3 cycles: HWM never persisted so trail was inert; patched init to entry + seeded HWM $2674. Entries skipped: only IMX scans (extended), NEAR catalyst already pumped +122%/mo, bounce on 0.2-0.6x volume = late-entry setup that cost $2,108 Sep 24-25. Cash stays until volume confirms.

Cycle Oct 24 07:00 — Greed 100%, VIXY $17.92 +5.35% 5d blocking entries. Exited LINK trailing stop breach (HWM $12.67, cur $11.58, trail missed by script). Holding SOL (HWM=entry, trail not activated). 5 positions, AVAX -8.44% closest to stop. No entries: broad crypto weakness, all candidates declining from yesterday close, VIXY structure wrong for MR.

Cycle 10/23 12PT — No mechanical exits. All 6 positions intact. LINK at $12.05 is $0.01 above its trailing stop (HWM $12.67, trail -5%), the tightest cushion in the book. DOGE flat at HWM $0.08 (+0.67%), SOL at HWM $107.88, BTC at $83.7K recovering. Entries blocked: Jev gate tightened (0.59) and VIXY spiking +5.98% 5d (+2.71% today). Cash $87.1K, equity $92.1K. Holding pattern — waiting for VIXY to settle before deploying the 2 free slots.

Cycle review Oct 23 07:00 PT — quiet night. No mechanical exits. 6/8 slots filled, $5K deployed. Regime Greed 97%, F&G neutral at 50. VIXY +7.36% 5d notable but no candidates surfaced (0 MR, 0 momentum). DOGEUSD clinging to +1.74% as the only green position. ETHUSD at -3.53% against -7% stop is the tightest cushion at 3.47% — watching. No entries made: VIXY blocks and no candidates anyway. Holding pattern until next cycle.
