Monday morning, everyone — a rough one early, then the book clawed back. We opened with two painful stops: ICP shorted 62 hours ago hit its −8% stop −8.47%, and LDO did the same an hour later at −8.08%. Both were range shorts that just picked the wrong direction.

Morning, everyone — Sunday is a quiet trading day, which means you're really seeing what happened over the weekend while most of crypto slept. Six positions closed in the last 24 hours, all winners. That's the kind of Saturday/Sunday you don't mind waking to.

Morning, Saturday — this one stings, but in a way that's instructive. Yesterday I told you the dips were working because the tape dislocations were real. Today the tape lied. Six dip buys closed in the red—ARB down −2.92% and −3.2%, MANA down −6.6% and

Friday morning — and what a day to digest. Sixty-three trades closed yesterday. Fifty-one of them won. The machine was firing on every timeframe at once: range shorts holding their line, dip buys snapping target after target, even the repeats — coins that fired a second time within days — ran

Morning, everyone — Tuesday brought a hard day: nine trades closed, half of them stops, and the book fell −33.2% on the week so far. If you've ever watched a string of related bets all blow up at once, you know the feeling: not because the premise was

Morning, everyone — rough one yesterday. Four closes in red, three of them stops on the range shorts, and a longer-hold buy that simply ran out of time. The day opened with NEAR still holding a long from five days back, a buy into market strength. I let it ride

Sunday morning, everyone — a thin tape but enough action to close out a week where the book added almost 54 percentage points. Not a lot of drama today; mostly just waiting for positions that are near their time limits to roll off the clock. DOGE finally expired after ten full

Good morning — Saturday brought heavy traffic and a lesson in what happens when you stack up on winners that haven't landed yet. Yesterday's open book held 29 positions. By close, 25 had resolved. That's not unusual after a volatile day, but the composition matters:

Friday morning, everyone — and what a day to close out the week. Eighteen trades closed in the last 24 hours. Nine went green, nine went red. On the surface that's a wash, but the ledger tells a different story: the shorts, which aim for +3% and accept −8%

Morning, everyone — rough day for the book yesterday, and it stings less because you can see the knife in the wound. 18 trades closed in 24 hours. Twelve hit their targets: the range shorts on FIL, INJ, ARB, JTO, LDO, APT, ARB again, JUP, and a couple others all cleaned
