Macro context

NVIDIA is running a major product announcement event today (GTC or equivalent): 20+ product launches announced pre-market (new AI supercomputers, NVDA Vera CPU, robotaxi platforms, TSMC partnership, Microsoft collab, healthcare AI, open-source robotics). This is a broad AI infrastructure catalyst driving the entire sector. S&P 500 ended May at a record high; US stock futures rising. Geopolitical note: US self-defense strikes against Iran (supportive of defense names, secondary market risk if escalation).

Sizing

Equity $101,319.13 → 5% cap = $5,065.96. ATRs estimated (brief does not include ATR; open routine should tighten stops to 5-min opening-range if tighter).

Notes for open routine

plan-check result: NTAP ok: true. HPE–DELL fail plan-check (open positions >= MAX_OPEN_POSITIONS=8) because the check runs against current state (7 open positions). Slot opens after DDOG close.

Execution sequence:

  1. python -m svidday.cli close-position DDOG — FIRST action; RSI(2) mean-reversion window expired, up +$1,294 (+27%). Do not skip.
  2. python -m svidday.cli execute state/today_plan.json — enters NTAP (slot 8). Account now full.
  3. If DDOG close confirmed before execute: only 6 open → NTAP takes slot 7 → 1 slot remains. Then manually add HPE: qty 117, entry ~$43.09, stop $40.84, tp $47.59, gap_continuation. (Cannot auto-execute HPE without a re-run or manual add since it wasn't in plan-check-passing plan.)
  4. SMCI, COHR, DELL remain as backup candidates if more slots free up intraday from stop-outs.

Per-trade notes:

  • HPE: Q2 earnings report due today; timing unclear. If after-close, the NVDA-partnership gap is the real catalyst and a post-close miss could reverse overnight. The $40.84 stop provides hard protection.
  • NTAP: +22.22% gap; adjust stop to 5-min opening-range low if that gives a tighter figure than $161.94.
  • DELL: +32.75% extreme gap. Lowest priority. Enter only on confirmed open-candle momentum, not a fade.
  • COHR: Down -5% while AI infrastructure broadly rallies. Confirm no specific negative news (earnings miss/guidance cut) at open before entering; if there is one, RSI2=0 signal is invalidated.

Executed trades

(awaiting open routine)

Mid-day notes

As-of: 2026-06-01 ~12:30 ET | Account equity: $101,313.81 | Daily P&L: +$212 (+0.21%) | Daily drawdown headroom: ~10.5% of 2% limit used (effectively in the green; no aggression threshold triggered).

Open routine status: Did not execute — "Executed trades" section still blank. DDOG was not closed at the open despite mandatory morning-plan flag. No new positions (NTAP, HPE absent). Slot starvation persists; 7 positions remain open.

Position decisions:

SymbolDecisionReason
DDOGCLOSEMean-reversion window expired 2026-05-27; now +37.8% (+$1,814). Morning plan flagged mandatory close. close-position DDOG submitted — close_submitted confirmed.
AMCRHold+2.4% (+$120); pulled back from morning high ($38.97→$37.58) but still profitable; no thesis break.
CARRHold+3.5% (+$170); minor intraday pullback; thesis intact.
GNRCHold+9.2% (+$449); faded from morning peak ($277→$266) but still well above entry; no thesis break.
NEMHoldEssentially flat (−0.08%); within expected range; macro safe-haven context (Iran/US) is neutral-to-supportive.
TJXHold−3.6% (−$176); within bracket, stop manages risk. No specific thesis break; discount retail unaffected by today's AI theme. Loss has grown from morning (−2.4%) — monitor stop.
VRTHold+0.5% (+$26); turned profitable since morning open; AI power-infrastructure theme supportive today.

v2 TODO (stop-tightening — no CLI in v1): GNRC (+9.2%), CARR (+3.5%), AMCR (+2.4%) have moved favorably; ideal to trail stops, but bracket must be managed manually via broker until v2 implements tighten-stop.

Post-DDOG close: 6 positions remain open → 2 slots available. NTAP and HPE remain the top-priority candidates per the morning plan if the open routine fires a late entry.

Post-close review

CLI report status: python -m svidday.cli report could not run — sandbox permission block (same recurring issue; equity_curve.csv not updated; SPY benchmark comparison still unavailable).

Trade outcomes (reconstructed from morning plan, mid-day notes, and today_plan.json):

SymbolStatusOutcome
DDOGClosed mid-day (~12:30 ET)close_submitted confirmed. Entry 2026-05-23 at $200.00; mid-day price +37.8% (+$1,814 unrealized at submission). Rationale correct: RSI(2) mean-reversion window expired 2026-05-27. Verdict: profitable exit, but 3+ sessions overdue — mandatory morning close was delayed to mid-day again.
AMCRHeld+2.4% at mid-day; thesis intact; no stop breach.
CARRHeld+3.5% at mid-day; thesis intact.
GNRCHeld+9.2% at mid-day; faded from morning high ($277→$266) but well above entry; no thesis break.
NEMHeldEssentially flat; macro context (Iran/US) neutral-to-supportive.
TJXHeld−3.6% at mid-day, growing from −2.4% at open; within bracket stop, no thesis break.
VRTHeldTurned marginally profitable (+0.5%); AI power-infrastructure theme intact.
NTAPNot enteredPlanned gap_continuation (+22.22%, 4.80x rel-vol, strongest screen candidate). Open routine did not execute; by mid-day the gap had already resolved.
HPENot enteredConditional on DDOG close + NTAP slot. Same open routine failure.
SMCI / COHR / DELLNot enteredBackup conditionals; never reached.

P&L summary: Mid-day account P&L +$212 (+0.21%) at 12:30 ET with DDOG close submitted at +$1,814 unrealized. End-of-day net P&L unavailable (CLI report blocked). Cumulative alpha vs SPY unavailable — equity_curve.csv has never been written (15+ sessions).

Missed opportunity assessment: NTAP gapped +22.22% on 4.80x relative volume with confirmed earnings catalyst — the strongest screen candidate of the day. Not entering was a direct consequence of the open routine not firing; DDOG's mandatory close (which should have freed the slot at 9:30 AM) instead happened at 12:30 PM. Gap entry window for NTAP was approximately 9:30–9:45 AM.

Lessons

Gap-continuation setups price in within 15–30 minutes of open; when the open routine fails and the mandatory close slips to mid-day, the slot opens too late to enter gap candidates at acceptable risk/reward.
