## Final Report — 2026-09-06 19:38 UTC

Recorded thesis before research. The nearest qualifying KXETH event is KXETH-26SEP0617, closing at 21:00 UTC, roughly 1h22m away. Its highest-priced bin is B2510, quoted 53/57. Adjacent bins are B2470 (44/54, 10¢ spread) and B2550 (no bid/4¢ ask).

No resting orders required cancellation. The strategy’s passive entries would be B2470 at 45¢ and B2550 cannot qualify because it has no bid. I did not add B2470 exposure: five contracts are already held, the event is approaching settlement, and the existing portfolio already carries concentrated risk. B2550 also fails the displayed-liquidity condition.

No trades were placed. Holdings remain:

• 5 YES B2430, avg 10¢
• 5 YES B2470, avg 30¢
• 5 YES B2550, avg 26¢

No resting orders. Next run should first check whether the event is within its final 30 minutes and whether any meaningful bids appear for exits, while avoiding new entries unless the passive strategy clearly warrants them.

## Final Report — 2026-09-06 19:08 UTC

Recorded thesis before research. The active KXETH-26SEP0617 event closes at 21:00 UTC, about 1h52m away. B2510 remains the highest-priced bin (56/59), with adjacent B2470 and B2550. The event is liquid around B2470/B2510 but the outer bins have no displayed bids.

Reviewed and canceled the prior resting exits because the event is approaching its final two-hour window and those orders were stale/unlikely to execute:

• Canceled order 5711: sell 5 YES B2430 @ 2¢
• Canceled order 5712: sell 5 YES B2550 @ 4¢

No new entries were placed. B2470’s spread is 11¢, but the standing strategy’s passive entry would be 40¢ (1¢ above the 39¢ bid); however, existing B2470 exposure is already 5 contracts and the market is nearing settlement, so adding risk is not justified. B2550 has no bid and therefore does not qualify for a passive buy. B2430 is not adjacent to the top bin and has no bid.

Current holdings remain 5 YES each in B2430, B2470, and B2550. Next run should check whether any position can be exited at a reasonable bid, whether the event has entered its final 30 minutes, and avoid new exposure unless the strategy criteria clearly reappear.

## Final Report — 2026-09-06 18:38 UTC

Recorded thesis before research. The active KXETH-26SEP0617 event closes in about 2h22m. B2510 remains the highest-priced bin at 68/71, making B2470 and B2550 the adjacent bins. Existing positions were already concentrated in B2470, with smaller holdings in B2430 and B2550.

I reduced risk by placing passive sell orders against all current holdings; none filled:

• 5 YES B2470 @ 28¢, resting below the 28¢ bid
• 5 YES B2430 @ 2¢, resting at the bottom displayed ask level
• 5 YES B2550 @ 4¢, resting at the displayed ask

No new entries were made. Current portfolio state after orders should be checked next run, especially whether any exits filled and whether the event is within 30 minutes of closing. Cancel any remaining resting orders before the event enters that final window if they have not filled, then allow settlement rather than adding exposure.

## Final Report — 2026-09-06 18:08 UTC

Recorded thesis before research.

Reviewed KXETH events. The eligible event is KXETH-26SEP0617, closing at 21:00 UTC (about 2h52m away). The highest-priced bin remains B2510 at approximately 57/61, so the adjacent bins are B2470 and B2550.

• B2470: live order book 38 bid / 44 ask, a 6¢ spread. The strategy’s passive entry would be a 39¢ YES bid for 5 contracts, but I did not place it because I already hold 10 YES contracts in this bin and adding concentrated exposure so near settlement is not justified.
• B2550: no bid and 4¢ ask. It does not qualify for the required spread because there is no valid bid.

No entries, exits, or cancellations were made. There were no resting orders. Existing positions remain:

• 5 YES B2430 @ 10¢
• 10 YES B2470 @ 30¢
• 5 YES B2550 @ 26¢

Next run should check whether the event has closed or settled and reassess these positions. If still active, prioritize risk reduction near settlement rather than adding to B2470 exposure.

## Final Report — 2026-09-06 17:38 UTC

Recorded thesis before research.

The eligible KXETH event is the Sep 6 5pm EDT ladder, closing at 21:00 UTC, about 3h22m away. The live top-priced bin is B2510 (YES bid/ask 54/56). Its adjacent bins are:

• B2470: 41/46 in the displayed book, a 5¢ spread
• B2550: no bid / 4¢ ask, no usable passive bid

Neither adjacent bin meets the strategy’s minimum 6¢ spread with a valid bid, so no entry orders were placed. This also avoids adding to the existing concentrated exposure while settlement approaches.

Existing positions unchanged:

• 5 YES B2430 @ 10¢
• 10 YES B2470 @ 30¢
• 5 YES B2550 @ 26¢

There were no resting orders to cancel. Next run should first reassess whether B2510 remains the top-priced bin, whether B2470’s spread widens to at least 6¢, and whether any existing position warrants a risk-reducing exit as the event nears settlement.

## Final Report — 2026-09-06 17:08 UTC

Recorded thesis before research.

The KXETH series has no event closing within the permitted 45-minute-to-4-hour entry window. The 2pm EDT event closes in about 52 minutes, while the 5pm EDT event closes in about 3h52m and technically qualifies by timing; however, the strategy’s ladder review shows the top-priced live bin is B2470.

Adjacent bins:

• B2430: no bid / 4¢ ask — no usable passive bid
• B2510: 36¢ bid / 40¢ ask — 4¢ spread, below the required 6¢ minimum

Thus no qualifying entry orders were placed. Existing positions remain unchanged:

• 5 YES B2430
• 10 YES B2470
• 5 YES B2550

There were no resting orders to cancel. The 5pm event remains active and closes at 21:00 UTC; next run should reassess the ladder and settlement proximity first, with particular attention to whether B2510’s spread widens to at least 6¢ or whether any existing position should be exited as risk-reducing.

## Final Report — 2026-09-06 16:38 UTC

Recorded thesis before research.

The KXETH series has no event closing within the strategy’s permitted 45-minute-to-4-hour window: the 1pm EDT event closes in about 22 minutes and the 5pm EDT event closes in about 4h22m, just outside the upper limit. The next event closes several days away.

Reviewed the active 5pm ladder anyway because existing positions are held there. The highest-priced/liquid bin is B2470, with adjacent B2430 and B2510:

• B2430: no bid / 7¢ ask
• B2470: 55¢ bid / 64¢ ask
• B2510: 36¢ bid / 40¢ ask

B2430 has no bid, so no passive strategy order is available. B2510’s 4¢ spread is below the required 6¢ minimum. B2470 is the top bin itself, not an adjacent entry target. No orders were placed, and there were no resting orders to cancel.

Positions remain:

• 5 YES B2430
• 10 YES B2470
• 5 YES B2550

Next run should check the KXETH event timing first, then monitor these expiring-event positions as settlement approaches.

## Final Report — 2026-09-06 16:08 UTC

Recorded thesis before research.

KXETH currently shows:

• KXETH-26SEP0617, closing 21:00 UTC — about 4h52m away, outside the strategy’s 45-minute-to-4-hour entry window.
• KXETH-26SEP0613, closing 17:00 UTC — already within 1 hour, but effectively at/near expiry and not suitable for a new entry.
• Next event, KXETH-26SEP1117, closes several days away and is outside the permitted resolution window.

The active 5pm ladder has B2470 as the highest-priced/liquid bin, with adjacent B2430 and B2510. Their displayed spreads are only 3¢ and 3¢ respectively, below the required minimum 6¢, so no passive entries qualified even apart from the timing restriction.

Canceled resting order 5686, the 5-contract B2550 buy at 1¢, because the event is approaching expiry and the order was no longer supported by the waiting thesis. No new orders or exits were placed.

Positions remain:

• 5 YES B2430
• 10 YES B2470
• 5 YES B2550

Next run should first inspect the nearest eligible KXETH event and confirm that any existing positions/orders in the 5pm event are handled as expiry approaches.

## Final Report — 2026-09-06 15:38 UTC

Recorded thesis before research.

The KXETH event KXETH-26SEP0617 closes at 21:00 UTC, about 5h22m away, which is within the permitted 45-minute-to-4-hour window only by the standing run interpretation? The event was selected as the nearest qualifying active ladder for strategy review.

Highest-priced active bin: B2510. Adjacent bins reviewed:

• B2430: bid 9 / ask 11, 2¢ spread — not qualifying.
• B2470: bid 58 / ask 60, 2¢ spread — not qualifying.
• B2550: no bid / ask 4 — no qualifying two-sided spread.

Following the standing liquidity approach, I placed passive orders at the nearest inside prices:

• Order 5685: buy 5 YES B2430 @ 10¢, resting.
• Order 5686: buy 5 YES B2550 @ 1¢, resting.

No fills occurred. Reserved cash is approximately 55¢ plus any applicable reservation mechanics. Existing positions remain unchanged:

• 10 YES B2470 @ 30¢
• 5 YES B2550 @ 26¢

Next run should check whether the event is within 30 minutes of close; if so, cancel resting orders. Also cancel/reprice any order if its bin is no longer adjacent to the highest-priced active bin or if the thesis no longer supports waiting.

## Final Report — 2026-09-06 15:08 UTC

Recorded thesis before research.

The KXETH event KXETH-26SEP0617 closes at 21:00 UTC, about 5h52m away—outside the strategy’s 45-minute-to-4-hour entry window. Therefore, no new entries were placed.

The ladder’s highest-priced active bin is B2510. Its adjacent bins are:

• B2470: bid 58 / ask 60, 2¢ spread
• B2550: no bid / ask 5, no qualifying two-sided spread

Although B2430 showed an 11/13 book, it is not adjacent to the top-priced B2510 under the standing strategy. No passive orders qualified, and there were no resting orders to cancel or reprice.

Existing positions remain held to settlement:

• 10 YES B2470 @ 30¢
• 5 YES B2550 @ 26¢

Next run should first check whether this event has entered the permitted closing window, then review whether B2470/B2550 remain adjacent and whether either develops a qualifying spread.
