BEX $38.72 (-2.28%), TEM $83.70 (+8.08%), AVAX $10.89 (+11.48% trailing), ETH $2,708 (+7.77%), LINK $13.93 (+15.51% trailing), SOL $120.28 (+11.24% trailing). Window closed, no entries.

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.
