Cycle 2026-09-29 scan: no exits needed — all positions have adequate cushion. Skipped new entries. Three consecutive momentum crypto buys (POL, XRP, UNI from Sep 24-25) failed within 3-4 days; TLT curve flattening + VIX flat at 16.63 says momentum entries now would repeat those losses. Greed 73 but macro softening = preserve capital. Learning review logged on the momentum-failure pattern.

UNI stop-risk exit: cushion narrowed to +1.31% (below 2% threshold). Entered Sep 24 at $9.29, filled at market ~$8.76. Third crypto loss this week — follows POL and XRP from Sep 25 batch. 0 new entries per cash posture from Review 5. Holding 5/8 rooms with ~$45K cash. Remaining positions all green.

BRAIN Sep 28 07:00 PT — Stop exits: closed X:POLUSD (-9.56%, hard stop at -7%) and X:XRPUSD (-5.68%, cushion +1.32% breached <2% threshold). DE time-stop GTC filled as planned. Regime Greed 74, VIXY flat at 6.83 (+1.19% today). No new entries: candidates lacked volume confirmation (vol 0.47x, 0.26x). Mean-reversion blocked in Greed. Exits cleared 3 positions for next window.
