Reviewed tomorrow’s (Sep 7) markets across all six permitted cities. The highest-priced brackets and asks were:
- Las Vegas 95–96°: 43¢
- Phoenix 106–107°: 44¢
- Dallas 101–102°: 52¢
- Houston 95–96°: 33¢
- San Antonio 96–97°: 43¢
- Oklahoma City 101–102°: 38¢
None met the required 55–88¢ entry band, so no orders were placed. Markets were active and quotes appeared genuine rather than stale. There are no positions or resting orders; cash remains 9524¢ with realized P&L −476¢.
Next run should inspect the next eligible tomorrow events and continue checking for a modal bracket in the entry band.

Reviewed Sep 6 markets across all six permitted cities. Highest-priced brackets were:
- Las Vegas 84–85°: ask 41¢ — skipped, below 55¢.
- Phoenix 106–107°: ask 43¢ — skipped.
- Dallas 101–102°: ask 43¢ — skipped.
- Houston 90–91°: ask 35¢ — skipped.
- San Antonio 96–97°: ask 41¢ — skipped.
- Oklahoma City 101–102°: ask 45¢ — skipped.
No trades were placed because no modal bracket met the 55–88¢ entry band. Books were generally liquid, so the low prices were treated as genuine crowd probabilities rather than stale quotes.
Existing Sep 5 positions remain held to settlement: 10 YES Las Vegas 97–98° (mark 58.5¢) and 10 YES San Antonio below 96° (mark 1¢). No resting orders. Next run should check whether those markets have settled, then inspect the next eligible daily events.

Reviewed tomorrow’s Sep 6 markets across all six permitted cities. The highest-priced brackets were:
- Las Vegas 84–85°: 26¢ — skipped, below 55¢.
- Phoenix 106–107°: 36¢ — skipped.
- Dallas 101–102°: 46¢ — skipped.
- Houston <90°: 37¢ — skipped.
- San Antonio 94–95°: 38¢ — skipped.
- Oklahoma City 101–102°: 40¢ — skipped.
No trades were placed. All candidates were outside the strategy’s 55–88¢ entry band, and there were no resting orders to cancel or reprice. Existing Sep 5 positions remain held: 10 YES Las Vegas 97–98° and 10 YES San Antonio <96°. Next run should check their settlement status and inspect the next eligible daily events.
Run completed in PAPER mode.
Reviewed Sep 5 tomorrow markets across all six permitted cities. Highest-priced brackets and asks:
- Las Vegas 97–98°: 61¢ — bought 5 YES, filled at 61¢ with 63¢ limit; 9¢ fee.
- Phoenix 102–103°: 49¢ — skipped, below 55¢ threshold.
- Dallas 98–99°: 51¢ — skipped.
- Houston 90–91°: 36¢ — skipped.
- San Antonio <96°: 57¢ — bought 5 YES, filled at 57¢ with 59¢ limit; 9¢ fee. This completed the previously intended 5-contract position.
- Oklahoma City 99–100°: 52¢ — skipped.
No resting orders remain. Existing Sep 4 positions were left unchanged for settlement, including the weak Oklahoma City position and profitable Phoenix/San Antonio positions. Two new entries used 10 contracts total and remain within the fixed $5-per-order and allocation limits.
Next run should check settlement/status of Sep 4 markets, review the new Sep 5 Las Vegas and San Antonio positions, and inspect the next eligible daily event.
| Market | Order | Filled | Avg price | Fees |

| KXHIGHTLV-26SEP05-B97.5 | buy YES × 5 | 5 | 61¢ | 9¢ |

Reviewed Sep 5 markets across all six permitted cities. Highest-priced brackets and asks:
- Las Vegas 97–98°: 60¢ — bought 5 YES, filled at 60¢ using 62¢ limit; 9¢ fee.
- Phoenix 102–103°: 45¢ — below 55¢ threshold, skipped.

Cash allocation remains within limits. Existing Sep 4 positions were unchanged and remain held to settlement. One resting order remains: 3 YES in KXHIGHTSATX-26SEP05-T96 at 51¢, waiting for additional fills; cancel if the market moves materially away or the thesis weakens. Next run should check that order and portfolio, then reassess Sep 5 positions and eligible next-day markets.
| Market | Order | Filled | Avg price | Fees |

Highest-priced brackets and asks:

Reviewed Sep 4 (tomorrow) markets across all six permitted cities. Highest-priced brackets and asks:
- Las Vegas 97–98°: 45¢
- Phoenix 102–103°: 44¢
- Dallas below 93°: 37¢
- Houston below 89°: 37¢
- San Antonio below 95°: 56¢
- Oklahoma City 97–98°: 44¢
Only San Antonio met the 55–88¢ entry range. The market was active with a 56¢ ask and substantial displayed depth, so I bought the required 5 YES contracts at a 58¢ limit; all filled at 56¢, with a 9¢ fee. No resting orders remain.
Next run should check the San Antonio position and settlement horizon, then review the next eligible tomorrow markets.

Reviewed tomorrow’s Sep 3 markets across all six permitted cities. The highest-priced brackets and asks were:
- Las Vegas 96–97°: 41¢
- Phoenix 103–104°: 48¢
- San Antonio 100–101°: 64¢
- Oklahoma City 97–98°: 41¢
- Dallas 91–92°: 26¢
- Houston 90–91°: 33¢
Only San Antonio met the strategy’s 55–88¢ entry range, but this market was already represented by the existing Sep 2 SATX position and no duplicate entry was appropriate. The other five modal brackets were below the minimum threshold. No orders were placed.
There are no resting orders. The existing position remains 5 YES in KXHIGHTSATX-26SEP02-B100.5, marked 87¢, held for settlement. Next run should first check settlement of the Sep 2 position, then review the next eligible tomorrow markets and confirm whether any modal ask enters the 55–88¢ range.
Run completed in PAPER mode.
Reviewed tomorrow’s Sep 3 markets across all six permitted cities. Qualifying highest-priced brackets were:
- Las Vegas 96–97°: 55¢ ask
- San Antonio 100–101°: 59¢ ask
Phoenix’s leading bracket was 103–104° at 45¢, while Dallas, Houston, and Oklahoma City were below the 55¢ entry threshold. San Antonio Sep 3 is a new event and was eligible despite holding the Sep 2 contract.
Order books showed adequate displayed liquidity for both qualifying entries: Las Vegas had 10 contracts at 55¢, and San Antonio had 2 at 59¢ followed by 56 at 60¢. I placed the required 5-contract marketable orders with 2¢ ceilings:
- Bought 5 YES Las Vegas 96–97° at limit 57¢
- Bought 5 YES San Antonio 100–101° at limit 61¢
No exits were taken; the existing Sep 2 San Antonio position remains held to settlement. Next run should verify fills and review any resting remainder, then check whether Sep 2 markets have settled and reassess the next eligible daily markets.

Reviewed Sep 2 markets for all six permitted cities. Highest-priced brackets and asks:
- Las Vegas 93–94°: 56¢
- Phoenix 104–105°: 33¢
- Dallas 96–97°: 43¢
- Houston below 89°: 36¢
- San Antonio 100–101°: 63¢ (already held)
- Oklahoma City 100–101°: 46¢
Only Las Vegas met the 55–88¢ entry band and was not already held. Its order book showed a 56¢ ask with 1 contract available, followed by 58¢. I did not enter because the required five-contract marketable order at a 58¢ ceiling would only have one displayed contract available and leave a potentially undesirable resting remainder. No other eligible city qualified.
No orders were placed; no resting orders remain. Existing positions were unchanged, including the Sep 2 San Antonio holding. Next run should first check whether Sep 1 positions have settled, then inspect the next tomorrow markets and reassess Las Vegas if still eligible.
