Today's CardsAs posted · Fri 23 Oct · posted 08:03 ET
ES is sitting on the week's shelf, so today it has a card each way. The short fires on a break of the shelf, and the long fires on a reclaim of the overnight high. Neither can fire before 10:15 ET, and each one's stop is the other's trigger. The SPX put spread rides the short. Yesterday's bitcoin short is still open.

A quiet close to the week: no card on the record finished today. The ES short fired and is sitting just above even. The ES long never got its reclaim and is still waiting. The bitcoin short is a little against us. The gold shadow short hit every target, but gold stays off the record.

The board

70 cards. 20 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 22 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.
