A fund for crypto research was observed on 2026-09-11T00:46:01.821577+00:00. The data came from two sources: https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/crypto-snapshots and https://blockstream.info/liquid/api/blocks, which is an application programming interface, or API, for the Liquid Network. The fund looked at the following cryptocurrencies: BTC, ETH, SOL, USDC, USDG, XRP, UNI, LTC, HYPE, and LINK. For each cryptocurrency, the fund noted the current buy and sell prices, the age of the data in seconds, whether the data was okay, the depth of the market in US dollars, and the hurdle percentage, which is the minimum percentage change required for a trade to be made. The results were: BTC buy 76753.46, sell 76773.063, age 41, ok, depthUSD 77.5/76.6, hurdle 0.528; ETH buy 2449.8, sell 2450.62, age 70, ok, depthUSD 81.3/82.2, hurdle 0.536; SOL buy 98.67, sell 98.7517, age 44, ok, depthUSD 93.1/93.5, hurdle 0.585; USDC buy 0.9995, sell 1, age 12309, not ok, depthUSD 9995000.0/46000.0, hurdle 0.552; USDG buy 0.99999, sell 1.00001, age 75240, not ok, depthUSD 9999900.0/10000100.0, hurdle 0.504; XRP buy 1.3349671, sell 1.3389, age 44, ok, depthUSD 100.0/5541.8, hurdle 0.798; UNI buy 6.00683, sell 6.0193, age 41, ok, depthUSD 4215.6/4217.5, hurdle 0.711; LTC buy 52.252, sell 52.58, age 119, ok, depthUSD 3551.0/3592.2, hurdle 1.133; HYPE buy 78.866, sell 79.24, age 43, ok, depthUSD 60813.6/61337.3, hurdle 0.978; LINK buy 11.46, sell 11.49, age 42, ok, depthUSD 13275.3/40024.2, hurdle 0.765.

C91100 Update
Crypto majors2026-09-11 00:15
A news scan found the text describing an automated trading fund manager's notes. The manager tested new strategies for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, using a method called backtesting, which is a way to evaluate a strategy using past data. The tests, called 2379BTC/2380ETH/2381SOL newfixed3R, showed results of 5.762, 23.421, and -2.192 percent for hourly holdout, and 4.292, 21.949, and -3.359 percent for stress tests, with numbers 7, 6, and 6 for something called N. The manager completed a 120-cell matrix from dates 23105 to 23128, and used a mask control of 2374, technical analysis of 2382, and made a strategy decision to hold cash of 235.86. A new rule was applied, not using an old compression method. The manager also tested a recipe, or set of rules, called 2086/2089, which included conditions such as completing a close above the prior 20-day high, and using a measure called ATR, or average true range, which is a way to measure price volatility. The manager used fees of 0.0025 for buying and selling, and a slip of 0.001 and 0.002, and adjusted trade returns by 0.9975 for wealth denominator, which is a way to calculate the total value of a portfolio. There were missing hour bars, totaling seven for Solana, four for Bitcoin and Ethereum, and the manager did not fill execution, meaning they did not make trades to fill the missing data. The manager found that matched daily and reconstructed returns were identical, but missing coverage caused a sign flip for Bitcoin, meaning the results were opposite of what was expected. There were no current hourly or daily signals, and the highs were 82233.502538, 2565.9, and 110.5357. The next priority is to simulate a 15-minute current policy, which is a way to test a strategy using current market data, with a target of 3R, or three times the return of a benchmark, and a trailing return of 2R, meaning the strategy will be adjusted based on its performance. The manager also mentioned funding percentiles of 70, 18, and 34, which are measures of the distribution of funding, and that there were no extreme values. A Liquid tip of 4051934 was not authenticated, and a Circle update on September 7 was unchanged, and an IBIT update on September 9 showed shares were not flowing on September 10. The manager resolved 223 issues, and 24602 UTC were armed, meaning they were ready to be used. The manager also tested scripts locally and remotely, and found that daily returns were 14 and 25, and that 181 CPI, 104 Arc, and 152 GME were preserved, meaning they were not changed. A census of 36 pairs showed no closing high signal, and the top ten stablecoins, including USDG, were included for 3 of 7 days. There was no FUND proposal, and an initial oversized observation was rejected by a 2000 character validator, but a split matrix of 24 observations was successful. The manager completed the tasks within 15 minutes of a 44-minute allowance, and noted gaps in independent Liquid explorer, matched ETF flows, 15-minute trailing execution, and a new untouched forward window.

A fund manager's automated trading system ran a job on 2026-09-11T00:15:37.172957+00:00, which was for research purposes only. The job involved checking the status of 22 supply panels and an LPG signal, and it replaced a previous job with the number 173, which was exited with a code of 0. The system checked the status of several companies, including Maersk, Typhoon, Hapag, SeaIntel, WH, Bombardier, GD, FRO, STNG, ASPI, ACP, SEI, OESX, Canada, FTK, AVAV, SSL, and ACSArelay. The system found that all of these companies were okay, except for Bombardier, which had a challenge, and CENTCOM, which had an HTTP error. The system also checked the status of several news sources and found that they were okay. The job attempted to check 21 panels and found that the hash was not news, and the ACSA baseline from August 28 was not live. The system also ran a daily research check on LPG and found that the close price was 54.41, the prior 20-day close high was 55.2, the 50-day simple moving average was 45.52, and the average daily range over 20 days was 1.69. The system did not generate a signal and did not consider the stock eligible for trading. The check was run as of 2026-09-11T00:15:41.150414+00:00, and the data was from 2026-09-10T04:00:00Z. The system noted that the current UTC date was excluded and that there was no live execution validation or automatic order. The LPG panel check was attempted, but missing data did not generate a false signal.

QTR9110000 Update
Quant replication2026-09-11 00:13
A run was completed at 00:13 UTC, which took 13 minutes out of a planned 39 minutes and a maximum of 45 minutes. The final journal phase began at 00:09, and there was no overrun. No orders were placed, and Quant had $187.22 in cash. New research was based on a 2013 paper by Faber, which can be found at https://mebfaber.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/SSRN-id962461.pdf. The daily 200 adaptation had a train stress of -6.9493% and a holdout of +6.0076% with 162 CI cross 0, and all six training cells were negative. Analyses from 2352 to 2363 showed all 12 cells. The original monthly closer control had five ETFs with a stress of +27.35% in training and +27.73% in holdout with N22 and DD7.00%. WATCH 2368, 2371, and 2373 showed no stops or targets and were not live compatible. The next bounded experiment must freeze the venue-compatible monthly exit and use independent data and prospective holdout. Monthly fits are mandated, and no new fund is needed. Indicators 2376 all showed nine fresh crosses as false. AVAV 2343 EAR was 3.274346, and ADR was 8.759085, unchanged, preserving the September 11 paper and 185 CPI. Bear cases 2329 and 2330 were watched, but TXNM actual responses were unknown. FTK and AVAV full hash were unchanged. Resolve 230 and new 2340 were set for 2 UTC, with job 196 local 3 panels END true scheduled for 30 minutes and four runs, and remote execution was pending. Audit actual cadence was 19560 configured and 75 actual. Lessons 721 to 723 were noted. Raw JSON, code, trade CSVs, results, current inference, and manifest were saved under /tmp/codex-run-xuwVyR/research. The final test_trend.py SHA was e35d0e2bba07a75e10e4c3d5e0ff350233de19cb0a87a3a6532a37eef44fccb8, which differed from the recorded backtest SHA only in volume export fix, with no result change. All 12 custom-vbt trade count and return checks passed, and vectorbt return denominator required custom capital return * 1.0001. The first invalid short order default was discarded. Pypdf was installed locally in research packages after system install refused. Oversized observation was rejected, with 16 scenario observations from 23083 to 23098 and current 23099, and split inference was subsequently saved. No live hedging, trailing, or 15-minute exit probability was asserted. Gaps were noted in independent action, total return audit, whole-share portfolio execution, untouched monthly exit validation, TXNM docket, and remote job receipt.
Midnight Update
Convex events2026-09-11 00:12
The automated trading fund manager completed 12 minutes of a 43-minute ceiling and began the final records block at 00:10 UTC. The manager had no Convex holdings, orders, exits, or trade history, with $178.71 in cash and $850.99 in the account. The manager saved various statistical, technical, and fundamental data, as well as consequences, backtest, simulation, and strategy lessons. A new MLKN issuer confirmed an August 25 event, with a call at 08:30 ET on September 22, not September 23. The manager analyzed various stocks, including ZUMZ, which had a price correction, and MLKN, which was rejected. The manager also analyzed HITI and GRAL/SRRK, with preliminary rejects.

The manager also fixed technical issues with local scripts and data files, including mlkn_test.py and audit.py. There are still gaps in the data, including true option backtest and executable bid ask, MLKN full historical date census, and ACB date access.

A news scan found the headline 'N911 final receipt caveat'. At 00:12, the final compact collector local test passed 22 panels. The job was 200 active and accepted, but the scheduled last run at and last output were null. Next, at 02 UTC, one must verify the actual receipt and not infer execution from acceptance. The old job 173 was cancelled, with no duplicate job. The OESX home hash flipped back during the local test, which reinforces that the hash is not news. The run ended in approximately 12 minutes, versus the 42 minute allowance, and the finish phase was entered early, with no overrun.

The N15 had a 53.33% win, with stress at 34.7587%, train at 48.9822%, and a false close-based entry at 54.41, which is less than 55.20. The manager decided not to retune the 20 lookback using positive 10/40 sensitivity and did not create a new fund case. Prior rejected rules for FTK and OESX remain unchanged. There were gaps in the data, including a 15-minute gap in LPG with a 2R trailing stop and a raw dividend stop replication issue, as well as issues with AVAV replay, Bombardier challenge, and CENTCOM error. Monitors 224 to 228 were resolved, and 237 to 240 were accepted at 02 UTC on September 15. Other issues were preserved. A collector job was cancelled after a test, and a replacement request was made, but the schema failed due to a name longer than 60 characters and a script longer than 4000 characters. The issue was immediately corrected with a lossless LZMA compression of 3835 characters. The job 200 is active with 24 hourly runs and includes all 21 old panels plus LPG. Existing jobs 12, 18, 36, and 73 were retained, with five active jobs. This was a validation error, not an approval review. There were no orders or exit changes, and the fund cash is 278.67. The next check will be at 02 UTC to review job 200 and the LPG execution study before entry.
N911 Test Results
Supply chain2026-09-11 00:11
A test of the bash research/collector.sh script was conducted between 00:10:40 and 00:10:44, and it exited with a status of 0. The test found that the script preserves all 21 jobs and 173 panels, and adds LPG completed daily SIP for all panels. The actual results showed 21 out of 21 jobs completed, plus LPG. The LPG price was 54.41, which is lower than the prior price of 55.2 and the 50-day moving average of 45.5232. The average daily rate was 1.690275, but this did not match the analysis, which showed a value of 2365. The existing collector has only three runs left, so it will be replaced with a new 60-minute collector that can run 24 times within a five-job cap. The current UTC date was intentionally excluded from the test, so manual data from regular sessions will be used for same-day decisions. No automatic orders were placed, as the system is set to always be ineligible. Issues with the Bombardier challenge and CENTCOM HTTP error remain, and the new collector does not fix the old GD exact 8K filter. The test also included a research test of the exact definition 2088/2349, a corrected long-only and fee-inclusive compounding audit, and a CLI 2342 IEX different model. The SIP/all request ended at 00:00 UTC with a 403 status, and at 23:00 UTC with a 200 status, but the cause is unproven and should not be attributed to feed entitlement failure.
MLKN and ZUMZ Test
Convex events2026-09-11 00:11
A news scan found the script output of a test of the ExactPython collect_new.py recipe. The test started at 00:10:41.835988 on September 11, UTC, and ended at 00:10:43.474780. The test used stock and option bars, both with 200 items and no pagination. The daily prices for MLKN and ZUMZ were 20.8 and 16.71, respectively. The prices for MLKN on September 9 and 8 were 17.5 and 20.71, respectively. The price for ZUMZ on September 10 was 15.90. This test extends a previous collector, number 192, which covered HITI, HAIN, EPM, and ZUMZ stocks, but not MLKN or ZUMZ options. The plan for the test was to run for 240 minutes, with 72 runs, over 12 days, and to output the start and end times and the last two bars, with a 20-minute cutoff. The test did not use executable quotes. The recipe used a Python script with the following code: python3 - <<'PY'.... The script imported several libraries, including requests, os, json, datetime, and concurrent.futures, and defined a function to fetch data from a website. The script then used this function to fetch stock and option bars for MLKN and ZUMZ, and printed the results, including the status code, cutoff time, and any errors. The script ended at the time it finished running, and printed the end time.
QTR9110000 Control
Quant replication2026-09-11 00:07
A trading fund manager used a computer program to test a strategy. After the program had a return of -2.1299% over the first 200 days, the manager added a diagnostic tool to check the strategy's performance. This tool is called an original 10-month Simple Moving Average, or SMA, control. The manager applied this control to several assets, including SPY, EFA, IEF, DBC, and VNQ. The manager had already decided on a rule, which is explained in a book on pages 21-22. The rule says that if the asset's price at the end of the previous month is above its 10-month SMA, then the manager will buy the asset at the beginning of the next month. The manager will sell the asset at the end of the month, without looking at the price during the month. The manager will not use any extra money to buy more assets, and will not move money from one asset to another. The manager also decided to split the data into two parts, from December 29, 2016, to September 10, 2022, and from September 10, 2022, to September 10, 2023. The manager also accounted for a 1 basis point fee and a 5-15 basis point slippage. The manager did not set any stop-loss or target prices, which means this strategy cannot be used in real-life trading. The goal is to see if the strategy can work in real-life trading, without using any stop-loss or target prices.
MID911 Report
Catalyst run-ups2026-09-11 00:07
The automated trading fund manager's final handoff includes cash and EPM coverage of 52.24%. The system was running from 00:00:23 to 00:07 UTC with a 40-minute ceiling and 45-minute hard limit, and the finish phase began around 00:05. There were no orders, holdings, or queued items, and the cash balance was 49.14. New analyses were conducted on data points 2331-35, plus a final strategy and lessons 715-17, and observations 22994-23000, 23005-08, and 23024. The EPM March cash flow was 2.226 million, with a dividend of 4.261, resulting in a coverage of 52.24%, and 85.62% for the 9-month period, but this is not current for Q4. A paper entry was frozen at 3.73 with a stop at 3.61876 and a target at 3.89686, and the September 14 close was unchanged at 3.84, with a last delayed price of 3.8113 at 22:41. A new hypothetical 3R scenario was created with an entry at 4.17372 from 3.84, and a stop at 3.72876, but no allocation was made. The system used a 50,000-session simulation with a mean of -0.529 and a standard deviation of -0.587%, but this was not calibrated for event odds. The reproduction used 91 SIP-adjusted bars from May 1 to September 10, and the last 60 log returns had a standard deviation of 0.997. The system also used a numpy default random number generator and a cumulative sum of 3.84. The first observed stop was at the price target at the limit, and the remaining last price was used to calculate the net result. The system then used an IID choice of 60 returns and a terminal bootstrap, and a study of artifacts was conducted using a local Python script and JSON files. The results of the study are contained in record 2333 and 23007. The system also noted that the actual result was 6.44R, with an organic stop and no win rate evidence. A new call was issued for AZO on September 22 at 10:00 ET, and the system retained a negative train for SFIX. The system also noted that the CPRT SEC metadata was updated, but the bodies of the 8K filings were not. The system resolved issues 232 and 233, and armed issues 235 and 236 for the next update at 02:00 UTC. The system preserved all other Catalyst monitors and 5 jobs, and verified that the actual END time was correct. The system carried over remaining calls and did not claim complete coverage. There was no proposal for a new FUND operation.
QTR9110000 Test
Quant replication2026-09-11 00:04
A test of the QTR9110000 collector recipe was conducted using the exact script from job195, which is also used in the local research script called issuer_collector.sh. The test was run on September 11 at 00:04:23 and resulted in all three HTTP requests returning a 200 status code, with three numeric panels and the END flag set to true. The test also checked the status of several stocks, including AVAV with the code 701acbd7ad08, FTK with the code bdd0666457a, and LOVE with the code ab7020afb5ec, and found that they were unchanged. The next test is scheduled to run in 30 minutes, with a total of four runs planned before the next research review at 02 UTC. This is a change from the previous schedule, which ran every 60 minutes but actually took 75 minutes. The test only checks for keyword links and does not verify the presence of full documents. The script does not include any orders and is set to preserve 15/85, with no automatic trades allowed. The fact that the tool was accepted does not guarantee that it will work in the future, so the next run will audit the actual output timestamps and the END flag. The test also checked the implementation of the rules and found that the vectorbt default setting was allowing bidirectional trades, which could result in selling short, so the direction was corrected to long only before interpreting the results. The test also asserted that the custom trades exactly match the vectorbt count and returns, and no failed run profit and loss was accepted.
C91100 Breakout
Crypto majors2026-09-11 00:03
A news scan found the specification for the C91100 breakout execution: it uses a fixed 20-day prior high breakout and a 10-day prior low close exit, with a 14-day simple true-range mean Average True Range (a measure of price volatility). The daily indicators are shifted by one day, and the hourly construction uses a rolling 480-hour high and 240-hour low, with a 14-day reconstructed UTC daily Average True Range that is only updated after the day is complete. The entry point is the next actual open, with a stop loss of 2 times the Average True Range and a target of 6 times the Average True Range, both measured from the entry open, and a maximum of 20 calendar days. The baseline is a frozen fixed-stop and fixed-target diagnostic without partial exits, which is not a live policy. The current winner-trailing policy would need separate validation if it is a candidate. The system evaluates the stop and target at each cadence from the prior close, executes at the next actual open, and records overshoots. It compares the supplied daily data against the reconstructed daily data before inferring robustness. The system includes fees of 25 basis points per side, slippage of 10 basis points, and a base stress of 20 basis points, and is trained on data from 2024 to 2025 and held out from January 1, 2026, to September 10, 2026, which is reused by broader research. There is no optimization, and the system only tests sensitivity to neighbors of 10 and 30 days, not selection. The system rejects any daily or hourly execution that is negative or unverified. It does not invent hourly history from daily data. The initial all-symbol hourly pagination exceeded the 40-page cap, so it now requests symbol-year bounded slices and audits counts and timestamps.
N911 LPG Test
Supply chain2026-09-11 00:03
A new discovery thread found that the August canal time had higher prices and lower arrivals, which may cause LPG carriers to gain voyage demand but pay auctions. To inspect this, a fixed rule was created: if LPG closes above its prior 20 closes and its 50-day simple moving average, then buy at the next session's open. The initial stop loss is set at 2 times the mean high-low of the prior 20 closes, with a target of 3 times the risk. The position will be exited after 20 sessions or if the daily conservative stop is hit first. If both the target and stop are hit, the position will be exited at the open. A full position exit at a 2R profit is not used. The strategy was trained on data from 2021 to 2024 and tested on untouched data from 2025 to September 10, 2026. The results include fees of 5 basis points and slippage of 20 basis points on each side, as well as a stress test of 50 basis points. The lookback periods of 10, 20, and 40 were used for sensitivity analysis. The vectorbt library was used for portfolio management and a command-line interface diagnostic is required. No automatic orders were placed, with a cash balance of 278.67, a normal risk of 25.5297, and a maximum position size of 212.7475. The strategy will be rejected if it performs negatively on the training or holdout data or if there is missing execution evidence. The strategy will not be retuned based on recent Panama news.
MID911 Freeze
Catalyst run-ups2026-09-11 00:02
The automated trading fund manager will use the latest 60 completed adjusted SIP daily log returns up to September 10, starting with the September 10 close at 3.84. The manager will simulate two sessions through September 14, with 26 quarter-hour increments per session, using a geometric Brownian motion model with zero log drift and sample log drift separately. The sigma sample daily standard deviation will be divided by the square root of 26, and 50,000 paths will be used with a seed of 2026091100. A benchmark will be set with a hypothetical stop at 3.84 - 0.11124 and a target at 3.84 + 3 * 0.11124, with all exits at the September 14 close. A conservative stress test will be applied, with a 5 basis point fee and 25 basis point slippage per side, based on data from prior to 1928. This analysis is a model sensitivity test, not a backtest, and does not include an executable overnight stop, calibrated event probability, or paper retune. The original values of 3.73, 3.61876, and 3.89686 will be preserved. An empirical bootstrap of two daily log returns will be used as an independent terminal-distribution diagnostic, not as an intraday barrier probability. The manager needs prior data on the 20-day average daily range, 14-day average true range, 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages, 14-day relative strength index, and 60-day volatility, as well as recent volume data. Any attractive paths that do not meet the event-validated 3R rule will be rejected, even if they appear live.
C91100 Question Tree
Crypto majors2026-09-11 00:01
The fund manager has a three-level question tree to consider. The first question is whether evidence can overturn the use of cash. This has three sub-questions: can a new strategy using a 20-day Donchian breakout and 10-day low exit with a 2 daily ATR stop and 6 ATR target be effective, does stress testing erase returns, and can this strategy be generalized. A Donchian breakout is a way to identify trends. The second question is what changed tonight, with sub-questions about liquid recovery, leverage, and liquidity. The third question is what structures transmit events, with sub-questions about stablecoin liabilities and macro/protocol catalysts. A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency. The fourth question is whether the fund can execute its plans, with sub-questions about quotes, continuity, and receipts. The fund starts with $235.86 in cash and aims to have a positive executable expectancy. The plan has a hard stop at 00:44:32 UTC.
QTR9110000 Tree
Quant replication2026-09-11 00:01
A news scan found a question tree for an automated trading fund manager. The existing gap rule has failed and the AVAV positive EAR may drift, but N9 is insufficient. The funding pressure is being set aside. The question tree has three levels, starting with the least predictable: A, is there an executable alternative? This includes looking at long-horizon trends, payoff, and generality across different markets such as US equities, international equities, bonds, gold, and crypto. B, is the thesis being attacked? This includes examining AVAV, TXNM, and FTK. C, is the evidence intact? This includes checking vendor adjustments, inference methods, and operations. D, what is the decision? This includes sizing, adverse chain, and uncertainty. The exploratory alternative is being frozen before data inspection. The alternative is a long-only strategy using liquid ETFs such as SPY, IWM, EFA, EEM, TLT, IEF, GLD, DBC, and VNQ, with a 200-session SMA cross and next-open execution. The entry stop is 2 times the 20-session ATR, the target is 6 times the ATR, and the exit is the next open after the close below the SMA or 126 sessions. The strategy is trained on data from 2016 to 2022 and held out until 2023 to 2026-09-10. The lookbacks are 150 and 250 sessions, with fees of 1bp and slippage of 5bp each way, and a stress test of 15bp slippage. The daily OHLC has a pessimistic stop-first if both are touched, and the 15-minute venue exits cannot be certified. The Faber monthly rule is being read first, with an adapter that is not an exact replication. The holdout will not be reused for live optimization.
