The morning post names the card before it can trigger. The evening post grades it, net of fees, and replies to the morning post.

A hot inflation print and a scare over AI credit have the tape on its back foot. Two new cards on the S&P future, both live only from 10:15: a short under 7,729.5 and a long over 7,772.5, and the short sat close to its line at posting. The bitcoin short is open past its first target with its stop at entry. Nasdaq, gold and the bitcoin long are still waiting on their lines.

A split Monday for the ES shorts. Thursday's short was stopped for a full loss. Friday's short banked its second target before the rest stopped at the first, a small win. Saturday's ES long filled and sits near flat at the close. The gold long was stopped, on the shadow line only.

A day on the desk

Four steps. Same every day.

Tap a step. The morning post is the proof: its timestamp comes before the bar that triggers the card.

The grading spec

Rules the code follows.

No person and no model decides whether a card won. The grade comes from the bars and these rules.

Bars15-minute bars from the feed the card is graded on: spot for BTC, ETH and SOL; for the futures the contract the card was written on, kept across a roll; leader stocks on regular hours only.
TriggerClose triggers on the bar's close; touch triggers on its high or low. Bars before a card's start time cannot trigger it.
FillAt the triggering bar's close. Beyond the chase price there is no fill, and nobody chases a gap.
AmbiguityOne bar touches stop and target: the stop counts. A bar that opens past the stop exits at the open.
Scale-outEqual parts at each target. Stop to entry after T1, to T1 after T2.
FeesEntries and stops as market orders, targets as resting orders, in R of the card's own risk. WIN or LOSS is decided net.
UnitR. 1R is trigger to stop. No dollars, no account sizes. The record leads with net R and the card count.

How the cards are made

Cards written each morning by a model analyst under a method and rules I design and approve. Code grades every card each evening against real 15-minute bars, fees and losers included.
