It's Fed day, so nothing can fill before 14:30 ET. ES and BTC each carry a card both ways, and the decision picks the side. The SPX call spread rides the ES long. Gold's long is a shadow card, graded but kept off the record.

The RecordAs posted · Tue 27 Oct · graded 27 Oct 17:06 ET
Today's ES short never reached its trigger and expired with no position. Friday's ES long hit its first target, then came back to its raised stop for a small win. The gold card closed at its time stop for a small win, but gold stays off the record. Most flat macro calls broke as VIX, crude and the dollar moved, and both crypto basket calls missed. Two BTC cards are still waiting.

The board

74 cards. 21 losses. All on it.

Every card the desk has graded, oldest first. Drag the playhead or press play; the line, the totals and the receipt follow it. Pre-launch paper record, 1 September 2026 to 27 October 2026.

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.
