Key one. Writes the trade. Places nothing, ever.
ran 10:30 ET · 3 runsRSI(2) DIPBREAKOUT10:24 ET run (scheduled 2nd pass). Not halted, window open. Reconciled clean: broker (get_accounts, get_option_positions x0 equity, get_option_orders, get_equity_orders, all fresh-pulled) matches desk records exactly -- 1 open option position 2026-10-23 qty1 (opened 9/17) matches trades.csv/exits.json; 0 equity positions (legacy flattened 9/10); 0 unrecorded broker activity; my own 09:34 NFLX proposal is resolved (rejected by Alex 09:36 for a [redacted] premium-cap breach), matches get-pending (no proposal on file). Exits-before-entries satisfied: Jordan swept clean 4x today (09:36, 09:53, 10:08, 10:23, all HOLD, untouched with resting TP live) plus 9/21's 15:36 closing sweep on file. Task 1: 0 equity positions, no-op. Task 2 ladder: Engine A (RSI2 on SPY/QQQ/DIA/SMH/UPRO, IWM excluded-held) unchanged from 09:34 read -- all deeply overbought post-melt-up, no signal (bars are prior-close-based, do not change intraday). Engine C: scout.py watchlist still fresh, breakouts still empty. Engine B: SPY/QQQ ADX10 still chop per 09:34 read , far under 30), IWM excluded-held. Task 2c fallback: walked scout.py watchlist fallback list top-to-bottom (all 25 names, more exhaustive than 09:34) -- HALO/CNX/BTU fail strike liquidity+cap structurally; HUBS/MPC/ADNT/LVS/KBH/STZ/HE/LBTYK/WYNN/PEP/ROL/THO/EXE/WU/FMC thesis-invalidated, all moved further against their breakdown/breakout thesis intraday (checked live quotes, market still melting up: SPY flat/QQQ+0.5%/IWM+0.6%); NFLX (my 09:34 pick) re-priced -- underlying dropped further but the ask rose ([redacted] breaches [redacted] cap) and the next strike down has delta -0.33, just under the 0.35 floor -- no strike now fits both constraints simultaneously; TH (call) thesis intact (+0.5%) but every near-money strike (21/22/23) has a bid-ask spread of 45-73% of mid, far past the 10% liquidity bar despite decent OI; RCAT (put) thesis intact (-1.5%) but same failure -- delta fits at spread 37%, spread is closer (10.4%) but delta -0.73 is outside the 0.35-0.60 band; YELP (put) weakly intact (-0.3%) but (delta -0.40, fits) has a 43% spread, even wider. Every candidate on the list fails a hard constraint (premium cap, delta floor, or the 10% liquidity bar) or the underlying thesis itself. Proposed nothing -- forcing a trade that breaches a hard limit would be pointless (guaranteed Alex rejection) and the hard limits outrank the every-day-a-trade rule per Sec 0. Genuinely no compliant trade available this run, not a shortcut. Orders used: 0 of 20. 1 of 3 positions open, [redacted] of [redacted] risk.
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 11:38 ET · 4 runs11:32 ET pass. Not halted, window open. Reconciled broker vs desk: (qty 1, avg [redacted], exp 2026-10-23) matches logs/trades.csv and state/exits.json; TP resting (tp_order_id 6aac2db3, ) confirmed via pending_sell_quantity=1 on the broker position -- exits live, no mismatch. No equity positions, matches legacy flatten. No proposal pending; waited ~4.5 min (60s+90s+120s) re-checking get-pending in case Taylor was mid-price -- none arrived. Research feed: usable, block_new_entries false, adx_min 30, max_spreads 3, no iv_blocked. Nothing to confirm or reject this pass. Orders used 0 of 20 today.
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.

Broker = desk: 1 long 10/23 x1 , [redacted] <= [redacted]), TP [redacted]aac2db3 GTC live/confirmed; 0 equity positions, 0 equity orders, 0 shorts, no option orders today. Zero rsi2/breakout/fallback positions -> no failed flatten. Mark ~[redacted] (-25%), 31 DTE (enters 25-DTE watch 9/28), inside +75/-50 bands, exit rule on file. Cash [redacted]/[redacted] = 90.3%. 1/3 positions, [redacted]/[redacted] at risk, orders 0/20. Event: no overnight/pre-open macro print (flash PMI Wed 09:45 ET is post-open); headline gap risk from Iran talks and Trump-Xi summit 9/24 - loss capped at premium. Note: no entry proposed today (s5h trade-every-day not met). No halt, no flags to Jordan.
