Cohort boundary: today’s fills occurred before the entry repairs and SURGE risk v3 installation. Their results belong to the earlier builds. No repaired-build performance is claimed. Fees have not been collected or verified; net P&L and net expectancy are unavailable.

Options use a 100-share contract multiplier; stocks use 1. Gross P&L comes from contributing broker order proceeds minus entry cost, before fees. Displayed weighted prices are rounded; P&L uses the full order values. STOP, TARGET and TIME describe the logged exit trigger, not a guaranteed fill price. The VEEA target exit includes fills at $5.27 and $5.23.
What we learned and changed
Installed repairs address observed entry or risk defects. Their next-session behavior and effect on results remain unverified.
CORE · Repeated extreme
Entry repair v1 installedObserved: two PUT trades used the same session high, $772.96. Both stopped for −$16.00 gross. These were not immediate spread stops.
Changed: repair signal-bar matching and reserve a signal/extreme before submission, so an uncertain response cannot re-arm the same event. Add fresh bar/quote checks, a spread gate of at most 10% of ask and three penny ticks from bid to projected stop.
Next check: confirm installed version, new-extreme/setup consumption and entry rejections. Owner reported 30 offline tests passed. No repaired trade has been validated.
SURGE · Repeat-symbol losses
Risk v3 installedObserved: JAGX lost −$64.46 across three trades; VEEA and AMOD added +$79.48. Seven trades finished +$15.02 gross. Partial entry and exit fills mattered.
Changed: cap submitted order notional at 50% of current equity, subject to cash and buying power. Block a symbol after two completed gross losing trades in a PT day. Rebuild a latched entry gate from the ledger when cumulative realized gross reaches −$40 or lower.
Next check: first actual RUNNER_START must show 75a0a8f98096fa53 and halt=False. Runner label remains V2. Owner reported 37 tests passed. The two-week observation cohort starts with that verified run.
Check daily. Adjust with evidence.
1 · PlanRecord the exact build and the question being tested before the session.
2 · DoRun the frozen paper engines and retain fills, quotes, signals and rejection logs.
3 · CheckMatch broker fills to local records, verify final positions and orders, collect fees and review each entry and exit.
4 · ActDocument findings and test/audit proposed repairs. Keep today’s cohorts separate; preserve the agreed frozen builds during observation.
Daily review does not mean changing trading rules every day. Earlier cutoffs, high-of-day context and Level II remain research ideas. Two weeks is a review point, not proof of an edge.
Evidence and remaining work
All three broker accounts were flat with no open orders at approximately 1:22 PM Pacific. Four CORE orders, four retired-engine orders and 17 SURGE orders contributed to the 11 completed trades. Options exit order IDs match their logs; all seven SURGE quantities, timestamps, reasons and gross results match its ledger and execution events. Today’s SURGE trade cohort hash is 3245350e9d563960.
This check covers orders submitted on October 5 Pacific and their completed lifecycles, supported by the supplied logs. It is not a full historical account audit. Fees and Cloud reconciliation remain pending.
The scheduled EOD report returned FAIL and produced an empty trade CSV. The Options runner logs show the Cloud sync module unavailable, and the legacy reporter uses outdated account routing. Its publication gate prevented that failed report from updating the site. This dated review was built separately from the broker evidence. The recurring reporting pipeline still needs repair and verification.
The supplied historical Task Scheduler output lists SURGE at 1:00 AM and CORE at 6:45 AM Pacific for the next session. Scheduled readiness does not establish successful runtime.
