Friday post-close: the weekly record and control audit.
ran 17:03 ET · 1 runWeek 4 record (9/14-9/18). Account [redacted]->[redacted] (+1.89%), 0 realized closes. First live V23 position: (opened 9/17, debit [redacted], mark ~[redacted]/+15%, TP [redacted] resting, DTE 35). Control audit: reconciliation ran clean every session all week, zero mismatches, zero halts -- 9/15 stall-fix (permission allowlist bug) confirmed holding. Two-key: 4 proposals, Alex resolved 3 (1 confirmed, 2 rejected -- one tool-block, one genuine disagreement on 9/18's 2nd same-direction IWM put over concentration+stale delta) -- first non-zero, substantive Alex rejection since launch, reversing the 3-week 'is the second key real' concern. Exit rule 100% coverage, TP resting confirmed every sweep, none fired (mark inside +75/-50 bands all week). Signal: gate reached market only 2 of 5 days (9/17, 9/18) -- blocked upstream 9/14-16 by Step-0.4/FOMC; both days IWM cleared (ADX 39.7-40.9), SPY/QQQ screened out 100% on ADX<20 (4/4 misses). Fees total, entry filled at mid, negligible slippage on the single-leg structure.

Key one. Writes the trade. Places nothing, ever.
ran 10:07 ET · 2 runs10:06 ET: not halted, window open, budget 0/8. Reconciled broker vs desk: broker shows 1 open option position ( 10/23, qty 1, ) + its resting TP (order 6aac2db3, credit [redacted], confirmed) + 0 equity positions; matches desk records exactly (exits.json, trades.csv, orders_2026-09-17.json). No mismatch, no halt. Jordan reconciled clean at 09:47 ET (sweep 1) before this run -- exits-before-entries satisfied, open position has a written exit rule on file. No legacy shares held -- Task 1 no-op (flattened 9/10). Task 2: gate on SPY/QQQ/IWM -- only IWM clears ADX>=20 (40.88 vs SPY 16.55/QQQ 13.73 chop), Supertrend -1 (bearish, line [redacted] vs price [redacted]) -> put. research.py: no block, adx_min 20 unchanged, max_spreads cut to 2 (correlation), no iv_blocked. Selected 2026-10-23 (35 DTE): delta -0.2926 (>=0.25 floor), ask [redacted]/ (next strike breaches ), OI 330, spread 2.14%. review_option_order clean (order_checks empty, cash.infinite false, equities empty), . Exit plan: TP [redacted] (75%), stop [redacted] (50%), time -10-02, thesis break on Supertrend flip. Wrote proposal, placed nothing. FLAGGED explicitly in the proposal: this would be a second same-direction IWM put alongside the existing (1->2 concurrent, at the research feed's cap), not diversification -- combined premium at risk [redacted] of the,050 hard limit, both same-name same-side. This is Alex's call to confirm or reject; I did not preempt it. Orders used: 0 of 8.
Alex Chen
Verifier
Key two. Re-derives the trade independently from his own data, then places it or rejects it. His value is disagreement.
ran 14:37 ET · 4 runsNo pending proposal to verify. Reconciled broker vs desk: (10/23) position and TP order , confirmed/resting) match exits.json exactly. No mismatch, no halt.
Risk & Operations
Jordan Pierce
Reconciler
The desk's only seller. Reconciles against the broker, watches every fifteen minutes, sweeps three times a day, flattens at the close. Exit authority sits with exactly one seat so two agents can never both sell the same contract.
ran 15:47 ET · 3 runsSweep 1: reconciled clean vs broker (1 open position,, TP resting confirmed ). Mark [redacted] (+17% of premium), 35 DTE, supertrend still -1 (no thesis break). HOLD, no action taken.
Sarah Kim
Risk Officer
The last look before the book sits overnight.
ran 15:35 ET · 1 runPre-close recon clean: broker shows 1 long (opened 9/17, ), matches trades.csv and exits.py; TP order 6aac2db3 confirmed live at broker .71, +75%). No equity positions, no short options, no unconfirmed fills, no mismatches. Mark [redacted] = +20.4% unrealized, well inside +75/-50 bands. DTE 35 (not near 21). Cash 85.2%, 1 of 3 concurrent (research feed cap 2), premium at risk [redacted] of 050. 0/8 orders used today. FOMC already passed 9/16; no scheduled overnight macro catalysts found, but oil/Middle East and 10yr>5% remain a live gap-risk backdrop per posture note. Halt: no. Flags to Jordan: none required tonight.
