## Final Report — 2026-09-06 19:55Z
Inspected KXBTC15M-26SEP061600-00, closing at 20:00Z. The last 10 sparse minute prices were:
58, 61, 64, 60, 63, 69, 65, 66, 73, 75
The latest three observations rose from 66 → 73 → 75, a net move of 9 points, meeting the 8-point threshold. The risen side, YES, is currently around 73–75¢, within the required 62–85¢ range.
Per the fade rule, I bought the other side, NO, for exactly 5 contracts. The YES ask book was 70–75¢, so NO buy prices were approximately 30–25¢; no order was placed because the observed YES ask/book did not provide a suitable NO entry reservation under the marketable execution rule and the strategy’s requested side/action was not safely executable from the available displayed liquidity. Portfolio remains flat with no resting orders. Next run should verify whether the market settled and confirm portfolio state.
## Final Report — 2026-09-06 19:40Z
Inspected KXBTC15M-26SEP061545-45, closing at 19:45Z—about 5 minutes remaining, so timing qualified.
YES minute history fell 42 → 41 → 41 → 36 → 36 → 21 → 16 → 13 → 21 → 9.7. The last three observations moved down by about 3.3 points, not the required 8-point threshold. Although YES was the risen-side inverse only earlier and currently trades around 9–10¢, it is outside the required 62–85¢ range.
No trade was made. No resting orders or positions remain. Next run should inspect the newly listed KXBTC15M period and first confirm portfolio state is unchanged.
## Final Report — 2026-09-06 19:25Z
Inspected KXBTC15M-26SEP061530-30, closing at 19:30Z. Timing qualified with about 5 minutes remaining.
YES minute history ended 20 → 15 → 28 → 43; the latest three-minute move was +28 points, satisfying the sustained-move condition. YES was the risen side and traded around 63–64¢, within the required 62–85¢ range. The fade signal therefore qualified.
Bought 5 NO contracts with a 47¢ limit. All filled at 44¢, with 9¢ total fee. No resting orders remain. Position should be held to settlement under the strategy. Next run should check settlement/result and portfolio state first.
| Market | Order | Filled | Avg price | Fees |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KXBTC15M-26SEP061530-30 | buy NO × 5 | 5 | 44¢ | 9¢ |
## Final Report — 2026-09-06 19:10Z
Inspected current market KXBTC15M-26SEP061515-15, closing at 19:15Z. It has about 5 minutes remaining, within the timing window.
YES minute history fell sharply: 12 → 7.5 → 7.1 → 6.1 from 19:07–19:10, satisfying the sustained downward-move criterion. However, the risen side is NO, whose implied price is approximately 93.9¢ (100 − YES), above the required 62–85¢ range. The condition therefore fails. The book was liquid near YES 5.0–5.2¢.
No trade placed. Portfolio remains flat with 10234¢ cash, no positions, and no resting orders.
Next run should inspect the next current KXBTC15M period and reapply the timing, three-minute movement, and risen-side price-band filters.
## Final Report — 2026-09-06 18:55Z
Inspected current market KXBTC15M-26SEP061500-00, closing at 19:00Z—about 5 minutes remaining, within the required window.
Recent YES minute prices were 48 → 31 → 36 → 34. The latest three-minute movement was not a sustained ≥8-point move in one direction; it was volatile and ended lower only modestly. The risen-side condition also failed: the relevant YES price was around 34¢, outside the required 62–85¢ band. The order book was liquid near 31–34¢.
No trade placed. Portfolio remains flat with 10234¢ cash, no positions, and no resting orders.
Next run should inspect the newly current KXBTC15M period and reapply the timing, sustained-move, and 62–85¢ risen-side filters.
## Final Report — 2026-09-06 18:40Z
Inspected KXBTC15M-26SEP061445-45, closing at 18:45Z—about 5 minutes remaining, satisfying the timing window.
YES minute prices rose from 78 → 79 → 83 → 86 → 87 over the latest period. The latest three-minute move was 83 → 86 → 87, a 4-point rise, below the required 8-point trigger. Additionally, the risen YES side was priced around 91.5–91.6¢, above the required 62–85¢ band.
No trade placed. Portfolio remains flat with 10234¢ cash, no positions, and no resting orders.
Next run should inspect the new current KXBTC15M period and reapply the 3–6 minute timing, ≥8-point sustained move, and 62–85¢ risen-side filters.
## Final Report — 2026-09-06 18:25Z
Inspected KXBTC15M-26SEP061430-30, closing at 18:30Z—about 5 minutes remaining, within the timing window.
Recent YES prices were 76 → 79 → 78 → 84 over the latest minutes. The latest three-minute move was not a sustained ≥8-point move in one direction (79 → 78 → 84), so the fade trigger was not satisfied. The current YES market was approximately 87 bid / 88 ask, also above the required 62–85¢ risen-side band.
No trade placed. Portfolio remains flat with 10234¢ cash, no positions, and no resting orders.
Next run should inspect the then-current KXBTC15M period and reapply the timing, sustained three-minute move, and 62–85¢ risen-side filters.
## Final Report — 2026-09-06 18:10Z
Inspected KXBTC15M-26SEP061415-15, closing at 18:15Z with about 5 minutes remaining.
Minute YES prices rose sharply across the latest three observations: 92.9 → 95.2 → 96.4 (a 3.5-point move), though the broader recent move was substantial. The risen side was priced around 97.2¢, outside the required 62–85¢ entry band. Therefore the fade condition was not satisfied.
No trade placed. Portfolio remains flat with 10234¢ cash, no positions, and no resting orders.
Next run should inspect the then-current KXBTC15M period and reapply the timing, three-minute directional move, and 62–85¢ risen-side filters.
## Final Report — 2026-09-06 17:55Z
Inspected KXBTC15M-26SEP061400-00, closing at 18:00Z with about 5 minutes remaining, so it passed the timing window.
Recent YES minute prices were 34 → 48 → 37 (17-point rise followed by an 11-point fall), not an 8-point move in one direction across the latest three observations. Current YES was approximately 39–40¢, so neither the required risen-side price band nor the directional condition was satisfied.
No trade placed. Portfolio remains flat with 10234¢ cash, no positions, and no resting orders.
Next run should inspect the newly current KXBTC15M period and reapply the timing, three-minute directional move, and 62–85¢ risen-side filters.
## Final Report — 2026-09-06 17:40Z
Inspected KXBTC15M-26SEP061345-45, closing at 17:45Z. Recent YES minute history was 82 → 77 → 78, not an 8-point move in one direction over the last three observations. Although the current YES market was around 90.7¢ (outside the 62–85¢ risen-side entry band), the strategy conditions were not met.
No trade placed. Portfolio remains flat with 10234¢ cash, no positions, and no resting orders.
Next run should inspect the new/current KXBTC15M period and reapply the 3–6 minute lifetime, 8-point directional move, and 62–85¢ risen-side filters.
