Post-close review
Daily P&L (mid-day 12:30 ET snapshot): +$610.75 (equity $101,024.34 vs prior close $100,413.59). Final end-of-day figures unavailable — cli report blocked by CLI permission; equity_curve.csv still unwritten; cumulative alpha vs SPY unknown.
Trade outcomes:
| Symbol | Action | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| AKAM | Closed at post-Memorial-Day open (highest-priority) | ~Flat (+$13 unrealized at time of close). Thesis expired 2026-05-22; overdue but executed correctly per the same-session close rule. |
| CPAY | cli close-position returned 404 | Already closed on broker side. Stale slot confirmed removed. Recurring position issue finally resolved. |
| AMCR | Hold | +5.87% (+$290.93). RSI(2) thesis cited intact. ~5 trading days from 2026-05-20 entry — past the 3-day v1 strategy window, trending rather than mean-reverting. |
| CARR | Hold | +5.67% (+$278.44). Same timing note as AMCR. |
| DDOG | Hold | +12.81% (+$615.00). Entry $200. Gap well past 2R; bracket still open. Exceeded v1 3-day duration. Trailing stop flagged but not executed. |
| GNRC | Hold | +13.54% (+$660.80). Same situation as DDOG. |
| NEM | Hold | +3.80% (+$183.38). Gold thesis intact. |
| TJX | Hold | −0.32% (−$15.89). No thesis-broken signal; within noise. |
| VRT | Hold | +2.00% (+$96.83). RSI(2) intact. |
No new entries today — morning routine output absent; 8/8 slots occupied at open; AKAM and CPAY freed 2 slots intraday but no wishlist ran.
Strategy validation: DDOG and GNRC both entered on the 2026-05-20 RSI(2)=0 broad sell-off day and have run 12–14%. The v1 RSI(2) 3-day exit rule would have closed them by 2026-05-22 — holding via open brackets has captured extra gain but also accumulated unquantified risk. This is drift, not a strategy call.
Lessons
DDOG and GNRC have exceeded the v1 3-day RSI(2) hold limit without hitting bracket targets, showing that passive brackets silently extend positions past their strategy duration without any active decision being made.
