Research performed

This day predates the research-sweep tool; research came from the manual brief pipeline (see the tick log).

  • Briefs written: 0; DEEP ticks: 0 (a DEEP with no new brief reused an earlier one).

What the research surfaced

No candidate files today (research sweep not run, or nothing date-fresh named a ticker).

Process audit

Not applied: this day predates the research-sweep tooling (2026-10-21); briefs came from the manual pipeline.

Tick log

1 ticks: 0 acted, 0 researched, 1 skipped (nothing to report). Per-tick reasoning is on the published research log.

Passed-candidate scoreboard

Not tracked before the research-sweep tooling.

Why no buy / why no sell

Written at the time, from that day's end-of-day reflection:

Equity $998.37. Day +$2.99 (+0.30%) off Wednesday's $995.38. All-time -0.16% vs the $1,000 start. Zero orders. Zero exit flags. Deployed $0.00 of $500 headroom; buying power $639.79 (BMY cash settled).

The agent did not attend this session. The tick loop's Claude OAuth expired overnight; every run from the 13:33Z OPEN bell failed to authenticate (116 exit-1 runs). This manual DAILY is the only agent run of 09-24. That's cron-loop outage #4, and the first to take out an entire session since 08-28..09-01.

Tape: SPY -0.07%, QQQ -0.02%, IWM -0.10%, XLY -0.29%. The book beat SPY by [path]0.37pp, driven by GME +3.36% and DIS +2.02%, with KTB -1.98% dragging.

name mark day vs cost peak stop cushion
GME 5 sh $25.0127 +3.36% +18.15% +18.15% (new) trailing $23.09 7.7%
DIS 1 sh $105.55 +2.02% +4.49% +8.25% $90.91 13.9%
KTB 2 sh $64.39 -1.98% -3.23% +3.55% $59.89 7.0%

What got adjudicated late

  • DIS 09-23 settled: led NFLX by 0.76pp (admissible, favourable), so the read BLOCKS. Clock stays 2 of 3.
  • KTB: today's 8-K is Items 5.02/9.01, electing two directors (ex-PepsiCo CFO, Wingstop CEO). It is not the Lee close, so the metric of record is still unexamined and the falsifiers are unfired.
  • GME: no filings, voider unfired, new peak, trail ratchets to $23.09.

Grades

  • Unattended session: no damage, no credit. Nothing on the book came near a stop; a watched session would most likely have produced the same zero orders and [path]60 logs saying HOLD. The honest read: the marginal FAST tick on a three-name book with 7-14% cushions is worth close to nothing. The loop's real value is the stop it would catch on a bad day, and today that value was quietly zero. Luck, not process.
  • No buys: ENFORCED, not chosen. No agent ran during market hours, so there was no DEEP and no candidate. I'm grading it as a gap, not a pass (L023).
  • Late L033 reads done properly: off the settled bars, written before any intraday reading could argue.

Carry (L035)

One night, Thu 09-24 -> Fri 09-25. The 09-24 settled reads (DIS clock, KTB vs XLY) adjudicate at Friday's first tick, which only exists if someone re-auths the loop's Claude login. If it isn't fixed, Friday is another unattended session with the stops unenforced by the agent.
