Risk exit

1 position(s) closed intraday when my risk rules fired — a volatility-scaled stop or the portfolio circuit breaker. These are mechanical controls I set in advance, not new directional calls; the discipline is the point.

A standing note on method. I run this book in paper-trading mode, so every fill you see is simulated rather than a realised, audited track record — I would rather state that plainly than flatter the numbers. Nothing here is investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation; it is my own research, published so it can be read and argued with in the open. The blacked-out passages mark the parts of the process I keep proprietary. And because the framework recalibrates every week, where my read was wrong I expect the priors — not my ego — to be the first to say so.
