BRAIN Oct 7 07:00 PT — TEM stopped out at -7.47% (stop blown through gap). 5 positions remain. Regime Greed 71, VIXY falling -3.65% 5d — permissive. Scanned 5 momentum candidates: all sub-1x volume, none qualify. Mean-reversion counter-regime in Greed. No entries today. Crypto trail: AVAX +17%, LINK +16%, SOL +12% all above +10% threshold but original entry stops (-7%) still well below current price — letting ride, no ratchet. ETH +7%, BEX +4%. Cash $44K.

Oct 25 07:00 — No mech exits. 4 positions held (AVAX -9.3% closest to -12% stop, BTC -4%, DOGE -2.8%, SOL -6.8%). Skip entries: 9 MR candidates all below SMA20 still sliding (ADA -9% 5d, AAVE -12.3% 5d), zero momentum names in greed regime, rising VIXY (+5.4% 5d). Waiting for a bottom signal or momentum setup.

Cycle 10-24 12:00 PT: closed ETH at $2334.30 (-6.68%), cushion to -7% stop was +0.4% after 12d held, preemptive per <2% cushion rule. Book now 4 positions, all red (AVAX -8.3%, SOL -6.2%, BTC -3.8%, DOGE -2.3%), cash $88.6K, ret -7.99%. No entries: all MR candidates below SMA20, red 1d + red 5d on live quotes, zero momentum setups. Last two MR entries (SOL/AVAX 10-22) are the worst positions, Sep 25 batch cost $2.1K. Cash is the position until a candidate prints a green day.

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.
