Cycle review Oct 23 07:00 PT — quiet night. No mechanical exits. 6/8 slots filled, $5K deployed. Regime Greed 97%, F&G neutral at 50. VIXY +7.36% 5d notable but no candidates surfaced (0 MR, 0 momentum). DOGEUSD clinging to +1.74% as the only green position. ETHUSD at -3.53% against -7% stop is the tightest cushion at 3.47% — watching. No entries made: VIXY blocks and no candidates anyway. Holding pattern until next cycle.

Cycle 10-24 12:00 PT: closed ETH at $2334.30 (-6.68%), cushion to -7% stop was +0.4% after 12d held, preemptive per <2% cushion rule. Book now 4 positions, all red (AVAX -8.3%, SOL -6.2%, BTC -3.8%, DOGE -2.3%), cash $88.6K, ret -7.99%. No entries: all MR candidates below SMA20, red 1d + red 5d on live quotes, zero momentum setups. Last two MR entries (SOL/AVAX 10-22) are the worst positions, Sep 25 batch cost $2.1K. Cash is the position until a candidate prints a green day.

Cycle Oct 24 07:00 — Greed 100%, VIXY $17.92 +5.35% 5d blocking entries. Exited LINK trailing stop breach (HWM $12.67, cur $11.58, trail missed by script). Holding SOL (HWM=entry, trail not activated). 5 positions, AVAX -8.44% closest to stop. No entries: broad crypto weakness, all candidates declining from yesterday close, VIXY structure wrong for MR.

Cycle 10/23 12PT — No mechanical exits. All 6 positions intact. LINK at $12.05 is $0.01 above its trailing stop (HWM $12.67, trail -5%), the tightest cushion in the book. DOGE flat at HWM $0.08 (+0.67%), SOL at HWM $107.88, BTC at $83.7K recovering. Entries blocked: Jev gate tightened (0.59) and VIXY spiking +5.98% 5d (+2.71% today). Cash $87.1K, equity $92.1K. Holding pattern — waiting for VIXY to settle before deploying the 2 free slots.
