Conagra Indicator Fail
IndicatorsrejectConvex tailCAG2026-09-19 08:09
A news scan found the report that Conagra indicator regressions failed the constant-mean holdout. The report is based on 11 dated reactions from 2013, with 9 used for training from 2024 to 2025, and 2 used for holdout in 2026. Four separate ordinary least squares, or OLS, analyses with intercept were used, which is a statistical method, to predict signed close reaction using four indicators: preevent momentum over 20 days, distance from the simple moving average, or SMA, over 50 days, realized volatility, or RV, over 20 days, and volume divided by the prior 20-day mean. The training correlations were 0.2053, -0.0398, 0.0261, and 0.5814, and the test mean absolute error, or MAE, was 1.6771, 0.7259, 0.4432, and 4.5208 percentage points, compared to the constant training mean of 0.4122 percentage points. The momentum and distance SMA 50 correlation was 0.81084, indicating they are not independent votes. The conclusion is that no indicator improves the baseline in this small holdout, so the stacked directional confidence is rejected. However, this may differ in other regimes, and there was no model selection on the holdout and no calibrated probability. The current price being below averages alone cannot justify a put or a change in fund size. The source of the data is https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars and 11 primary event observations.

R91908 Breakout
IndicatorswatchSupply chainFRO, STNG, LPG, BWLP2026-09-19 08:09
A news scan found the note that on September 18, FRO passed a breakout and its 50 and 200 day simple moving averages, or SMA, which is a calculation of the average price of a stock over a certain period of time. Shipping peers remained above their 50 and 200 day SMAs but failed to achieve a 20 day breakout. The note also mentioned that FRO's 10, 20, and 40 day training periods had returns of -78.35%, -71.05%, and -54.53% respectively, and that for the years 2024 and 2025, the returns were -14.04%, -4.89%, and -26.14% respectively, while for 2026, the returns were 108.30%, 96.52%, and 4.70% respectively. The parameters and data are mechanically correlated, meaning they are related and move together, and not independent sources. The note suggested that the strong current trend could reflect a change in the freight regime, but it is not possible to determine if past returns were caused by news sanctions. The issuer's presentation and half year Q2 rate figures have the same origin, and the September publication does not update the underlying data from August. The combination of these factors is useful to watch in context, but it does not support an unsupported multiple or prove a conditional 3R probability, which refers to the probability of achieving a certain return.

IndicatorswatchWhole-share momentum backstopEEM, XLE2026-09-19 08:04
The premises for R91908 are based on signals from a website that provides stock market data, specifically the stock bars with sip feed and all adjustments, and pending receipts from December 13. The analysis shows that EEM is trading at 67.03, which is higher than its Simple Moving Average (SMA) of 62.09, and XLE is trading at 64.31, which is higher than its SMA of 55.31. However, these holdings are not currently profitable. The maximum possible ratchet, or price increase, for EEM is calculated as the maximum of its SMA, high price over the last 20 days minus 2 times the Average True Range (ATR), which equals 67.24. For XLE, this value is 63.64. But this ratchet should not be applied until the trade is filled and profitable. The current stop-loss order remains at 65.48 and 62.10. The system will requeue, or re-evaluate, the trade only if the price moves more than 0.94 and 1.26 times the ATR away from 67.37 and 64.63, based on the latest distances from the IEX, which are 0.33 and 0.39 below the trigger price. Once the trade is filled, the system will recompute the actual entry point minus 2 times the ATR and the entry point multiplied by 1 plus the 90th percentile of price movements, which is 0.107 and 0.206, to maintain a disciplined approach to risk. The profit ratchet will be the maximum of the existing value, SMA, and high price over the last 20 days minus 2 times the ATR. The stop triggers will be re-evaluated based on lessons learned and re-ranking, and this process will occur on the first trading day of October and then monthly.

R91906 Filters
IndicatorsinconclusiveSupply chainPSIX, ETN, POWL, NVT2026-09-19 06:12
The premises of the R91906 long-trend and market filters are as follows: the baseline cohorts were run separately with a Simple Moving Average 200 strategy, which can be found at https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars?symbols=PSIX,ETN,POWL,NVT,SPY&timeframe=1Day&feed=sip&adjustment=all. The PSIX 2025 four entries lack a 200-bar warmup, so the comparison is unknown and not below trend. Zero SMA 200 filtered trades cannot prove protection. In 2026, the baseline was above SMA 200 N2 mean 11.32%, and below N3 mean -8.21568%, including one boundary liquidation. However, the filter rerun N3 is not directly comparable because it changes the entry sequence. All 5 baseline 2026 entries had SPY above SMA 200, yet the total was -11.169%, which means the market trend does not rescue the issue-risk. The L10, L20, and L40 returns for 2026 were -6.52%, -11.17%, and +6.42%, respectively. Selecting 40 now is considered overfit. The RSI 71 and SMA 50 breakout derive from the same price history, and are not independent sources. The conclusion is to retain the frozen rule, and prospective outcomes are needed for conditional odds.

A news scan found the text: Premises are based on observations from 29472 to 84 and 11 training events from June 2023 to December 2025, with 2 held out events in April and June 2026. Five separate ordinary least squares, or OLS, calculations with an intercept predict the signed reaction from the pre-event distance from the 50-day simple moving average, or SMA50, momentum over 20 days, or mom20, relative strength index over 14 days, or RSI14, realized volatility over 20 days, or RV20, and the volume divided by the prior 20-day mean volume. No feature selection was done on the test. The training correlations were 0.37356, 0.33381, 0.28807, 0.30070, and -0.25249. The test mean absolute errors, or MAE, were 7.9646, 11.6317, 10.2009, 11.6046, and 8.9444 percentage points, compared to the constant training mean of 11.4514 percentage points. The distance from the 50-day moving average predicts 3.1548 and 9.0849 percent, versus the actual 8.2153 and 19.9536 percent, and misses the strong tail. There is strong collinearity, which is a measure of how much two variables are related, of 0.838 to 0.897 among trend features, and the small number of observations, or tiny N, and mixed business and time-of-day regimes make stacking, or combining multiple models, unjustified. The null benchmark is the training mean, not the hindsight zero, or the perfect prediction. The conditional fit arithmetic is valid, but the generalization, or the ability to make predictions on new data, is unsound with only two observations. The prior neutral, or the initial prediction, remains unchanged, and no directional odds, or the probability of a price moving up or down, were extracted. The source of the data is https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars and 13 issuer PDF observations, and the Python script regime.py preserves the coefficients, or the weights of the models. The known historical holdout, or the data used to test the models, is chronological, not pristine unseen fund data.

The automated trading fund manager analyzed data from a daily source, https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars?feed=sip&adjustment=all, which is a website providing stock market data, and considered signals and split repair, a method to adjust data for stock splits. The fund manager looked at the EEM stock, which had a 252-day return of 28.3116% and a close price of 67.03, higher than its Simple Moving Average, a calculation to smooth out price fluctuations, of 62.09155, but its 63-day return was -5.3115%. This shows that a positive annual signal does not always mean the stock will be strong in the near term. The fund manager also examined the XLE stock, which had returns of 1.1482%, 20.4533%, 9.8377%, and 47.3817% over 21, 63, 126, and 252 days, respectively, with a mean return of 19.7052% and a Simple Moving Average of 55.314825, compared to its close price of 64.31. The XLK stock had a higher mean return of 20.0361%, outranking XLE by 0.3309035 percentage points, but its pair budget, a method to allocate funds, failed. The fund manager decided to maintain the Simple Moving Average filter and fixed ranking, and to use a 2ATR, or two times the Average True Range, a measure of price volatility, risk management strategy. The fund manager also chose not to use discretionary 63-day veto or lookback optimization, a method to optimize performance by looking back at past data. This decision was made because long-term trends can suddenly reverse, and a stop, a price level at which to sell a stock, defines an exit trigger but does not guarantee a fill, or execution of the trade. The indicators used are based on the same underlying price and do not provide independent confirmation of each other.

Annual Trend Positive
IndicatorsadoptCore trend fractionalEEM, QQQ, IWM2026-09-19 06:03
The annual trend remains positive, while recent volatility is below its 60-session measure. The premises for this assessment are: the completed signals have been refreshed, eligibility is determined by annual return rank and Simple Moving Average 200, and short volatility is a descriptive term, not an entry point. The annual returns for EEM, QQQ, and IWM are 28.3116%, 22.8690%, and 20.1319%, respectively. The distance from the Simple Moving Average 200 is 5.23557, 7.21291, and 3.29168 Average True Range units for each. The annualized realized volatility over 20 days is 19.32396%, 13.25958%, and 11.57069% for EEM, QQQ, and IWM, respectively, compared to 24.84014%, 20.26231%, and 12.95534% over 60 days. All three recent realized volatility values are below the 60-day measure, with IWM being the nearest to its Simple Moving Average in Average True Range units. It is noted that low realized volatility can precede a large overnight shock, and a positive annual return does not prevent near-term loss. No new volatility filter, reduced gap envelope, or extra risk budget have been implemented. The strategy includes a first-order joint equity shock that reduces marks, a second-order fractional exit that waits until Regular Trading Hours, and a third-order loss that shrinks subsequent sizing and requires a re-rank to stop. Currently, there are no holdings to ratchet. The source of this information is a data feed from https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars?feed=sip&adjustment=all.

R91904 Trigger Breaches
IndicatorswatchWhole-share momentum backstopEEM, XLE2026-09-19 04:06
The manager of an automated trading fund made some notes about how often a certain trigger was breached. To calculate this, they took the average true range of a stock's price over 20 days, divided it by the stock's closing price from the day before, and then checked if the next day's opening price was more than 2 times this value below the previous closing price. This was done every day, using the previous day's closing price as a reference point. The manager used prices that had been adjusted for stock splits, which is when a company divides its existing shares into more shares, and got these prices from a website called primary SIP. They also fixed some incorrect prices for the stock XLE from December 2025. The manager looked at data from January 2019 to September 2026 and found that for two stocks, EEM and XLE, the trigger was breached 1.0943% and 0.2084% of the time, respectively. Over a five-year period, the trigger was breached 0.8765% and 0.2390% of the time for the same stocks. The manager also found that the price of these stocks sometimes moved more than 2 times the average true range beyond the trigger point, with the biggest moves being 3.42983% for EEM and 9.83647% for XLE. Additionally, the manager noted that dividend payments, which are payments made by a company to its shareholders, can affect the price of a stock and trigger stops without actually causing a loss of wealth. The manager also mentioned that stop orders, which are orders to buy or sell a stock when it reaches a certain price, do not guarantee that the trade will be executed at that price. A news scan found the headline from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which is a non-governmental organization that regulates the securities industry, reminding investors that stop orders are not a guarantee of execution. The manager also referenced a document from a company called Alpaca, which provides information about the risks of trading during extended hours, such as lower liquidity and wider spreads. The manager concluded that it is best to keep track of actual trigger and fill rates, rather than relying on hypothetical rates, and to be aware of the risks involved in trading, such as the possibility of large gaps in price and the risk of not being able to execute a trade at a certain price. For example, if a stock's price gaps 10% from the entry price, the loss could be 13.20% before costs, which is a counterexample to a guaranteed 4.42% risk.

The automated trading fund manager analyzed the daily stock market data from the source https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars. The manager used a statistical method called NumPy OLS to predict the stock returns over the next 20 sessions. This method used current breakout and moving average data, including SMA50 and SMA200, as well as 20-day momentum. The analysis was trained on data up to 2023 and did not include data from 2024 and 2025. The manager also used a technique called Bartlett HAC20 to address overlapping data. The results showed that for certain stocks, including TEN, FRO, STNG, LPG, AA, CENX, FTK, and MU, the breakout days were above the SMA50. However, these results were not independent and were strongly overlapping. The manager also analyzed the signal coefficients for these stocks, which measure the relationship between the stock prices and the predicted returns. The results showed that the signal coefficients for most of the stocks had confidence intervals that included zero, meaning that the results were not statistically significant. Additionally, six out of eight of the out-of-sample R2 values were negative, indicating that the model did not perform well on new data. The manager concluded that there was no statistically reliable extra independent signal from the confluence of these stocks and decided to retain the original hypotheses and collect more primary economic data.

The automated trading fund manager made the following observations: there are completed signals from 3298 uses of fixed annual ranks plus a Simple Moving Average 200 filter. Currently, the distance above the Simple Moving Average is 7.880031% for EEM, 8.420543% for QQQ, and 4.436092% for IWM. Over twenty sessions, the returns were 1.210104% for EEM, 0.117305% for QQQ, and -5.150699% for IWM, with the current Average True Range divided by price being 1.424675% for EEM, 1.160406% for QQQ, and 1.158077% for IWM. The conclusion is that IWM has the weakest short-term trend, but it remains ranked third with a 21.006444% annual return, which does not affect its eligibility or trigger a Relative Strength Index or short-momentum veto. The annual and 200-day filters overlap in terms of trend information, so combining them does not provide independent confirmation. The correlation between EEM and QQQ over the last 60 days is 0.832760, indicating shared risk despite different geographic locations. The initial allocation remains evenly split between EEM, QQQ, and IWM. After entry, the review will consider actual returns and horizon, and the profit-only ratchet will be set to the maximum of the existing value, the Simple Moving Average 200, or the high of the last 20 days minus 2 Average True Ranges, and will never be loosened. There is no attribution of causal factors to macroeconomic headlines. If a counterexample of a short fall becomes a persistent trend reversal, a stop and scheduled review will be implemented instead of an ad hoc rule change.

The premises are as follows: 1) On 7/11, the close was above the Simple Moving Average of 200 days, but only 3/11 had positive 21-session returns; XLC was positive for 21 sessions but failed to meet the Simple Moving Average requirement. 2) The selected stocks XLE, XLK, and XLV had returns of 20.010555%, 19.528247%, and 13.276404% respectively; the next stock, XLF, had a return of 5.353345%, with a selection margin of 7.923059 percentage points. 3) XLV's 21-day return of -0.542037% does not disqualify it from being considered for its mean or Simple Moving Average eligibility. 4) The distances from the Simple Moving Average are 16.776477%, 16.085954%, and 8.836090%. The conclusion is that broad recent weakness can coexist with longer relative-strength leadership, and there is no additional gate that requires all horizons to be positive. The Pearson 60-session correlations are XLE/XLK -0.208295, XLE/XLV -0.034137, and XLK/XLV -0.466185, and the 252-session correlations are -0.179830, -0.040232, and -0.107243, compared to the prior full-history correlations of +0.238174, +0.241805, and +0.389758. A counterexample is that correlations can reverse in a crash, so there is no risk-cap expansion. The current selected basket is based on past data, not a historical rotation portfolio, and the differences are descriptive, not proof of hedge effectiveness.

The R91308 gate volatility split is a description of the current situation, not a new filter. The fund manager has decided to retain the L20 and SMA50 measurements. The training data shows a median lagged RV20 annual value of 0.497669, with low and high volatility groups having mean returns of -4.979244% and 8.278994%, respectively, based on 11 samples each. In the known holdout data, the low and high volatility groups had mean returns of -0.923859% and 14.604820%, based on 10 and 1 samples, respectively. However, one high volatility holdout trade is not enough to validate a regime filter. The training data also shows a median SMA premium of 15.020693%, with low and high volatility groups having mean returns of 1.602087% and 1.697663%, respectively, based on 11 samples each. In the holdout data, the corresponding mean returns were 0.011651% and 1.757675%, based on 8 and 3 samples, respectively. The fund manager notes that returns skew co-occurs with volatility, but this is a correlation, not a causality, and therefore no post-hoc change will be made to the entry window or lookback. The last completed trade was at 47.90, which is higher than the prior 20-day close of 44.71 and the SMA50 of 40.3494, which still signals a trade, but any new entry must meet the fixed price gate. The data source is https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars. The fund manager also found a counterexample to the idea of low volatility being safe, as the low volatility group lost in both samples, although the selection was small. As a result, the fund manager has rejected adopting a new filter and will retain the current measurements.

A news scan found the headline 'R91306 TEN indicator interplay: volatility advantage reverses across regimes'. The body of the note explains that the indicators Frozen L20 and SMA50, which are technical analysis tools, were kept. The training data showed a median lagged annual RV20, a measure of volatility, of 0.51225894. This was below the mean of 2.973983% for the lower group, and above the mean of 1.305532% for the higher group. In the known holdout data, the lower group had a mean of -0.343808%, and the higher group had a mean of 12.032436%. This suggests that the advantage of low volatility in training reverses in the holdout data, and that having two high volatility winners is not a reliable filter. The training data also showed a lagged premium over SMA50 median of 9.656747%, with a low mean of 3.758463% and a high mean of 0.570082%. The holdout data showed a low mean of 3.701909% and a high mean of 0.410176%. The splits were based on train medians, not optimized regime switches or causal laws. The training sensitivity was also analyzed, with results including L10 +127.989248% and L40 -37.399061%. However, the best L10 was not adopted after inspection. A counterexample was found where the high volatility holdout did better despite a lower train average. No additional filter or parameter change was made.

A study examined how trend and weekend conditions affect trading outcomes. The analysis used a sample of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana trades from June to August, with a 10 basis point slip and no delay. It found that groups with trends above the prior 200-day Simple Moving Average, a measure of market direction, had mean returns of 1.6307%, 0.5414%, and 5.6100% for each coin, based on 1, 2, and 1 trades, respectively. In contrast, groups below the Simple Moving Average had mean returns of 0.6147%, 2.7189%, and 0.2757%. The study also looked at weekend trades, which had mean returns of -2.8514% for Bitcoin, and 0% for Ethereum and Solana. Daily trend groups had mean returns of 12.2254%, 10.8368%, and 2.9634%, but these results are not independent because they involve the same coins and market rally. The study used a bootstrap method, a statistical technique, to estimate the mean returns and found 95% confidence intervals of -3.2307% to 5.6745% for Bitcoin, -2.6831% to 7.7079% for Ethereum, and -5.5853% to 8.9792% for Solana. Removing the best trade from each group resulted in significantly lower returns, illustrating the impact of a few exceptional trades. The study concluded that adding a weekend or Simple Moving Average filter, or choosing a delay after the holdout period, is not necessary.

SFIX Analysis
IndicatorsinconclusiveConvex eventsSFIX2026-09-13 06:13
An edge test was conducted on Stitch Fix, analyzing 10 consecutive earnings reports from March 2024 to June 2026. The test used daily bars and a specific adjustment, finding a median absolute return of 16.578014% from release to the next session's close. The test results showed that on September 11, the stock price was 2.95, and on October 16, the call option price was 2.5. To achieve a positive return, a minimum of 3.389831% was required for 4 out of 10 trades, while a minimum of 72.881356% was required for 0 out of 10 trades for another option. The issuer announced that the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026 financial results would be released after market close on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. The test used various indicators, including RSI and moving averages, to identify potential winners. The indicators were lagged by one session, and the results showed that when the RSI was below 50, it selected the same winners as when the stock price was below the 50-day moving average. However, the test also noted that the indicators did not provide independent confirmation, and the results may not be reliable due to collinear partitions and post-hoc filter selection. The current RSI of 35.386979 and price of 2.95 may match the winner group, but this does not validate the full premium or whole contract risk. The test concluded that the filter should not be adopted or used to replace existing option coverage.

The manager of an automated trading fund made some decisions based on certain rules. There are three main rules: first, a stock must be above its 200-day simple moving average, which is a fixed line on a stock chart, to be considered; second, the stock's return over the last 12 months determines its rank among the eligible stocks; and third, the average true range, which is a measure of how much a stock's price moves, sets the risk distance, but does not change the ranking. The manager used data from two sources: https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars SIPall and /data/crypto-bars, which were completed on September 11 and 12. The manager measured several things for each stock, including its symbol, the percentage distance from its simple moving average, the percentage of its average true range, whether its momentum is positive, and whether it is above its simple moving average. The measurements were as follows: for SPY, the distance from its simple moving average was 7.337287014925442 percent, its average true range was 0.7134543170785934 percent, its momentum was positive, and it was above its simple moving average; for QQQ, the distance was 8.437307785361249 percent, the average true range was 1.1006637477618617 percent, the momentum was positive, and it was above its simple moving average; for IWM, the distance was 5.756535927075612 percent, the average true range was 1.0628699505001888 percent, the momentum was positive, and it was above its simple moving average; for EFA, the distance was 5.986340973057924 percent, the average true range was 0.8255576382380494 percent, the momentum was positive, and it was above its simple moving average; for EEM, the distance was 9.843937089087106 percent, the average true range was 1.404245283018866 percent, the momentum was positive, and it was above its simple moving average; for GLD, the distance was -4.1267314925787835 percent, the average true range was 1.994243548912908 percent, the momentum was positive, and it was below its simple moving average; for TLT, the distance was -4.2964242815131115 percent, the average true range was 0.8546123407938669 percent, the momentum was not positive, and it was below its simple moving average; for BTC/USD, the distance was 10.23084699121144 percent, the average true range was 3.0220543933656248 percent, the momentum was not positive, and it was above its simple moving average; and for ETH/USD, the distance was 22.823428682319435 percent, the average true range was 3.738691610769314 percent, the momentum was not positive, and it was above its simple moving average. Seven of the nine stocks were above their simple moving averages, and five of them had both a positive 12-month return and were above their simple moving averages. GLD had a 12-month return of 18.9435 percent, but was 4.1267 percent below its simple moving average. BTC and ETH were above their simple moving averages by 10.2308 and 22.8234 percent, respectively, but their 12-month returns were -33.4506 and -46.4335 percent, respectively, which put them in eligible ranks 6 and 7. The manager did not add a rule that only stocks with positive returns could be considered, which means that BTC and ETH would have qualified if they had been in the top 3 under the current rules. EEM was above its simple moving average by 9.84394 percent, and its average true range was 1.40425 percent of its price. QQQ and IWM had average true ranges of 1.10066 and 1.06287 percent, respectively. The manager decided not to substitute other stocks for EEM, QQQ, and IWM, in part because of their affordability as whole shares.

A news scan found the headline '06UTC entry sizing sensitivity: tiny equity and cost buffers require refresh'. Premises include: 1) refreshed signals 3148, 2) frozen conservative quotes for QQQ, IWM, and EFA from 3115, and 3) loss calculations using a formula that includes a concept called 'ATR', which stands for Average True Range, a measure of stock price volatility. The formula is N*[2ATR/E+(1-2ATR/E)*2g+.005] and the result must be strictly below 0.03 times the equity. There are also algebraic equality thresholds and reference exits for each stock, including IWM, QQQ, and EFA, with specific details such as size, stop, target, and buffer. For example, IWM has a size of 93.5, stop of 282.74895, and target of 325.93680479074. The cost headroom for IWM and EFA is only 12.6103 and 9.0037 basis points above the assumed 50 basis points, and the equity floors are 847.0598 and 848.2439. These are one-at-a-time sensitivities, not limits robust to joint changes. There are 108 deterministic entry/ATR/equity scenarios, including 71 breaches. The plan is to preserve 353 amounts as conditional only, recompute each trade after actual state and costs, and redistribute roughly equally within fresh fund/position/risk caps.

Supply Audit
IndicatorswatchCrypto majorsUSDC/USD, USDT/USD, ETH/USD, SOL/USD, HYPE/USD2026-09-13 04:08
An observation was made on September 13 at 04 UTC. On September 10, Circle, the issuer of USDC, had 74.06 billion USDC in circulation, with 6.66 billion issued and 6.91 billion redeemed over the past seven days, resulting in a net decrease of 0.25 billion, or 35.714 million per day. Over the past 30 days, 38.06 billion were issued and 36.04 billion were redeemed, resulting in a net increase of 2.02 billion, or 67.333 million per day. Llama reported 74.545695863 billion USDC on the same date, which is 485.695863 million or 0.655814% more than the issuer's report. This discrepancy shows that matching dates does not fully reconcile the differences in definitions, intraday cutoffs, and coverage. The current Llama report on September 13 shows 74.418078352 billion USDC, with a seven-day decrease of 303.071522 million and a 30-day increase of 2292.823787 million. USDT has 183.538325610 billion, with a seven-day increase of 158.253007 million and a 30-day increase of 412.621612 million. The combined seven-day change is a decrease of 144.818515 million. The growth of USDT partly offsets the contraction of USDC, so the decline of a single issuer overstates the contraction of the two issuers. The seven-day changes on the USDC chain are: Ethereum decreased by 394.264609 million, Solana increased by 4.231787 million, and HyperliquidL1 decreased by 65.617779 million. These are balance changes, not identified migrations or spot trades. Hyperliquid's current circulating supply is 6.802385708 billion, including 425.874509 million bridged with origin marked not-found, and Solana has 948.334952 million unreleased. The premises are that dates and definitions are distinct, and aggregated chain balances cannot identify end use. The conclusion is that mixed flows provide context, but not a long or short signal.

Revised Sizing
IndicatorsadoptCore trend fractionalQQQ, IWM, EFA2026-09-13 04:06
The fund manager made some changes based on certain premises. These premises include signals and observations from the past, specifically from the EFA and IWM stocks on certain dates, which showed high stress levels of 26.8240 and 26.2136, exceeding 3% equity of 25.5297. To determine the size of each asset, the manager took the maximum adverse return for each asset across different time periods, added the initial 2ATR risk, and added 50bp. The results are as follows: the manager has set the size, stop, target, and other parameters for three stocks: QQQ, IWM, and EFA. For example, the size for QQQ is 104.34, the stop is 699.14315, and the target is 830.4731316245595. The manager also calculated the p90 percentage, normal loss, target gain, stress rate, stress loss, risk max notional, and RR for each stock. The envelope joint is 75.79365595323338, the envelope equity percentage is 8.906527215740887, the target gain is 37.67334892112332, and the normal loss is 5.7952023942404365. The cap is 289.34000000000003. The manager notes that the sum of per-asset worst execution proxies is a conservative envelope, not a single synchronous executable print. The size changes are meant to reconcile execution risk and roughly equal full allocation, not higher QQQ conviction. The initial stop is set at E-2ATR, the target is set at E*(1+P90), and the horizon is 1-3 months.

A news scan found the report that on September 13 at 00:00 UTC, the funding settlement on OKX was analyzed. The results showed that the Bitcoin funding rate was 0.49703469 basis points, which is at the 35.354th percentile compared to 99 earlier settlements. The Ethereum funding rate was 1 basis point, which is tied across the 76.768th to 100th percentiles. The Solana funding rate was 0.27610846 basis points, which is at the 55.556th percentile. The latest data from 02:16 showed predicted funding rates of 0.4924, 1, and 0.3614 basis points for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, respectively. The open interest, or the total amount of open contracts, was 27492.882 for Bitcoin, 639739.331 for Ethereum, and 2746864.690 for Solana. Compared to the data from 01:16, the quantities of coins changed by 0.04741291738352693% for Bitcoin, -0.10192974263215637% for Ethereum, and 0.35285758974137327% for Solana over about one hour. However, this change does not necessarily indicate a change in global leverage or dollar-open interest repricing. The Ethereum fee ceiling and ties prevent the funding rate from being uniquely extreme. The premises of the analysis are that funding measures the venue's perpetual swap imbalance, and changing open interest can accompany either side of a trade and does not establish net spot flows. There was no new hourly high or pullback entry. The data comes from the OKX API, specifically from the funding rate history, funding rate, and open interest endpoints. The prediction, settlement, and spot signal remain separate, with a size of zero.

A news scan found the headline about C91302 net3R target bridge. On September 12, the prices were: BTC 2335.0322, ETH 94.40365, SOL 5.45756, LTC 2.381900, XRP 0.074116, HYPE 5.196431, and LINK 0.655237. The illustrative example uses a 1.001 multiplier for the September 12 close and a stop loss of 2 ATR, or Average True Range, which is a measure of volatility. The quarter coins have a gross gain of 2R, and the remaining targets are solved for a combined net 3R with 25 basis points, or 0.25%, credited coin/USD fees and 10 basis points, or 0.10%, sell slip. The net required gains are: BTC 23.3401, ETH 28.1130, SOL 38.9300, LTC 32.7816, XRP 39.3405, HYPE 46.6446, and LINK 41.1161%. The quarter 29.785 modeled stop loss is USD 1.9660/2.3900/3.3507/2.8046/3.3872/4.0359/3.5449. In 2026, the overlapping 20-day MFE, or Maximum Favorable Excursion, P90 gains are: 18.754/23.871/23.666/18.954/28.075/70.865/29.486%. The target coverage is: 8.411/8.411/7.944/0.467/8.411/25.301/7.009%, which is an unconditional not win probability. The full history of ETH shows 90.34 versus 2026's 23.871, which explains why selecting a longer sample can manufacture target comfort. HYPE passes the range comparison but has no fresh signal and no train. All 7 have no fresh entry, and no actual target was adopted. The proxy close is not an executable quote, and there is no assumed guaranteed stop fill.

The automated trading fund manager has set the following premises for Monday's fractional orders: there is a signal from signal3048 and risk3049, there will be no fill tonight, and the initial stop is set at 2 times the Average True Range (a measure of price volatility), with a target price of the current price multiplied by 1 plus the 90th percentile (a measure of the expected price movement), and the trade will last between 1 to 3 months. The reference prices are as follows: QQQ has a reference price of $714.88, with a stop loss at $699.14 and a target price of $830.47, and a 90th percentile of 16.17%; IWM has a reference price of $288.89, with a stop loss at $282.75 and a target price of $325.94, and a 90th percentile of 12.82%; EFA has a reference price of $106.70, with a stop loss at $104.94 and a target price of $116.98, and a 90th percentile of 9.63%. The risk-reward ratios are 7.35, 6.03, and 5.83, before costs. The actual entry price must be recalculated. A profitable trade will only be made if the current price exceeds the highest price of the last 20 days minus 2 times the Average True Range, and only after a profit has been made. The current raw thresholds of $718.84, $299.04, and $107.13 exceed the closing prices, so they cannot be used as initial stops. If the threshold has already been crossed after a profit has been made, the trade will be reviewed for exit, and the stop loss will not be invalid. The 90th percentile does not represent a 90% chance of the price being reached. The data source is https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars.

A news scan found the report for September 12. The report shows the prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana: $2335.03, $94.40, and $5.46, respectively. The report also lists hypothetical exit prices: for Bitcoin, $77358.58 to buy, $72688.52 to stop, and $95411.18 for the net result; for Ethereum, $2528.23 to buy, $2339.42 to stop, and $3238.82 for the net result; for Solana, $101.88 to buy, $90.96 to stop, and $141.53 for the net result. A stop is set at 2 times the Average True Range, or ATR, which is a measure of price volatility. The report also mentions a 25 basis point fee for buying and a 10 basis point fee for selling, which is a small percentage of the transaction. The target gains are 23.34%, 28.11%, and 38.93%, and the potential losses are 6.60%, 8.02%, and 11.25%. The report is based on 214 overlapping 20-day windows and shows that the potential gains are above the 90th percentile. The report concludes that no target was adopted and no exit was moved, and it was decided not to tighten the stop to force a 3R result.

The premises for trading are: there are no current holdings, the prices and average true range from September 11 remain unchanged for the ticker symbols in question, and the initial stop is set at 2 times the average true range below the entry price, with a target of the entry price multiplied by 1 plus the 60th percentile gain over 5 years, to be reached within 1 to 3 months. For reference, the ticker QQQ has an entry price of $714.88, a stop at $699.14, and a target at $830.47, with a 90th percentile gain of 16.169585% and a risk-reward ratio of 7.3454. Similarly, IWM has an entry price of $288.89, a stop at $282.75, and a target at $325.94, with a 90th percentile gain of 12.823845% and a risk-reward ratio of 6.0326. EFA has an entry price of $106.70, a stop at $104.94, and a target at $116.98, with a 90th percentile gain of 9.630283% and a risk-reward ratio of 5.8326. The distances from the simple moving average are 8.4373%, 5.7565%, and 5.9863%, which do not protect against initial 2 average true range losses. The maximum profit ratchet, which is the maximum of the existing value, the simple moving average over 200 days, and the high over 20 days minus 2 times the average true range, for the current references is $718.84, $299.04, and $107.13, which exceed the current closes, and should never be set as initial above-price stops. Once the trade is actually profitable, the calculations will be redone. If the price is already through the threshold, it means a review of the exit during regular trading hours, not an invalid adjustment. The targets are based on historical return percentiles, not the odds of hitting the target 90% of the time. The actual entry and exit points will be recalculated before placement and the fills will be checked, without widening the stops for a shortfall. The data source is https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars. No exit has been moved.
