Cycle 2026-10-30 12:00 PT: flat, 0/8 positions, cash $91,763.65, -8.24% total. Jev regime fear (100%), gate tightened to 0.72 so entries blocked. VIXY +13.99% today / +8.58% 5d confirms the risk-off tape; BTC -4.57% 5d, F&G 30. No mechanical exits to process, no candidates scanned, nothing to trail. Cash is the position while the gate stays tight. Next cycle rechecks the VIXY 5d and Jev gate before any entry.

Cycle Oct 30 07:00 PT — ADA (-7.25%) and BTC (-8.00%) hit hard stops in Fear regime. Both filled. Portfolio: 1 position left (DOGE -4.7%). F&G 30, VIXY spiking +5.58%. Gate tightened by Jev (0.76). Two simultaneous hard stops signals macro selloff, not selection error. DOGE trailing near breach (HWM $0.08, -5% trail $0.076, mark $0.075). No entries while gate tightened.

Cycle 29 Oct 12:00 PT. Closed AAVE by judgment: stop tightens to -7% tomorrow (day 5), 0.43% cushion, same preemptive <2% rule as LINK/ETH. -7.13%. No new entries: tape is broad-weak, all 15 coins below SMA20, momentum scan empty. The Oct 25 MR batch is the live counterexample (AAVE -7.1% closed, ADA -2%), entering the same style into the same conditions is how the drawdown compounds. Holding ADA/BTC/DOGE. Cash ~89K, 3/8 slots.

Cycle 2026-10-29 07:00 PT - 0 exits, 0 entries. All 4 held: AAVE -6.6% (grace), ADA -2%, BTC -4.1%, DOGE flat. Entry scan rejected all 5 MR candidates - market still bleeding from Oct 27 hard stops on ETH/AVAX/SOL/SOL. DOT skipped (fastest 5d decline). 8K cash, 4 slots. Waiting for BTC floor or fear setup.
