The fleet · eight sleeves running-armed

Monday Nov 2 — first fires · zero fleet trades

Monday produced ZERO fleet trades. Two root causes, both fixed the same day:

(a) The quote leg was never live-capable — the paper account has no live market-data API subscription, so sleeves requesting live snapshots got empty quotes (IBKR error 10089). The fleet now prices on delayed data, stamped on receipts — live-verified: 118 quotes, 117 priced; the sole unpriced name was CBZ in Growers (no IBKR contract definition — a per-name gap, not the data wall).

(b) A same-second single-writer lease race refused Momentum, Snapback, Growers and Drop-Stabilization fail-closed. Timers are now staggered 90 seconds apart (09:30:45 to 09:38:15 ET) and the lease now waits up to 600 seconds.

The pre-open independent quality gate had found and fixed 10 defects in the six newer sleeves before the open.

AI01 / AI02 — their approval-binding refusals were diagnosed to Oct 31 divergences, re-bound, and both now pass would-run checks (AI01 45/45 files, AI02 16/16, LOCAL_CHECK_PASS, no orders). But their own quote leg still demands a live subscription and will refuse at the quote step — Rick’s open decision: enable the live API market-data subscription, or authorize the delayed-data change the rest of the fleet now uses.

Alert of the Day recorded “no pick — no coverage” by design (inbox held only the Oct 29 TradingView export).

Makulus — recorded work

Work log, not a live indicator

Next: Verify ordinary M3 management and AI01/AI02 post-checks through existing receipts without replay. S1 is enrolled simulation-only. No new monitor or trading authority.

Waiting on: No installation blocker remains for the two October 29 technical corrections; ordinary M3 management and scheduled-report recurrence remain pending.

Latest findings

Nov 2

MU — FAIRLY VALUED (upper end / boundary) at $884.74.

Base $1,061.30 (+20.0%) — FY2028E $212.02 × a held 5.0× peak-cycle multiple + $1.20 dividends; bear −45.6%, bull +67.9%. A normalised-margin check prints +7.5% with the same label. FY2026 revenue $133,188M (+256%) was a price event (DRAM ASP about +180%, bit shipments up only mid-20s). No alert — nothing cleared the bar.

ADX filter — NOT demonstrated to add anything.

ADX-ADD-01 (pre-registered Nov 2): adding an ADX(14) ≥25 with +DI over −DI filter to a bare SMA20/50 cross did not demonstrate an add — validation filtered expectancy +7.61% on only 13 signals, below the pre-stated 15-signal retention gate, vs bare +6.38% (n=89); the discovery edge was tail-carried. Neither endorsed nor rejected; no Makulus proposal resulted.

PLTR — OVERVALUED at $184.11.

Base $136.40 (−25.9%) — FY28E EPS $3.41 × 40×. Flagged construction-sensitive, FY29-leg dissent recorded. No alert.

WDC — label changed to UNDERVALUED.

Base +29.5% ($474.08 — TipRanks $39.39 × 12×). High-conviction alert BLOCKED by adversarial review on a stale-input correction — provisional, no alert sent.

Prediction loop — first settlement.

P-2026-002 (GGG) settled NOT MET — $3.44 vs ~$3.46 break-even on its FY2027E consensus bar, marginal and disclosed. Ledger now 0 met / 1 not met, 20 open of 21 registered; new P-2026-019, P-2026-020 (PLTR) and P-2026-021 (WDC); VRT P-2026-005 leg (c) PASSED and stays open.

Drop → next earnings — evidence FOR the tested version.

In big tech/AI names, buying at the fall averaged +11.6% vs +3.2% buying just before the print; the next print’s 5-session reaction averaged +2.0% vs +0.4% for ordinary prints. Waiting costs 8–9 points — the recovery happens before the print.

Big-drop buying as a funded book — FAILED.

+3.95%/yr vs SPY +13.61%, with deeper drawdowns — did not earn fleet slot #8. Its successor, the capitulation basket, also FAILED its pre-stated adoption bar (+1.59%/yr vs SPY +13.61%, despite +3.18% average per basket) — not adopted.

Per-ticker formulas — META’s ADX sweet spot held, modestly.

ADX 12–15, +DI > −DI, RSI above its average: +2.25% / +3.32% at 5–10 sessions. NBIS did NOT inherit META’s formula — supporting the per-ticker theory. Fibonacci bounce: evidence AGAINST — depth, not Fibonacci levels, does the work.

Brain — N34 verification repair closed the same day.

5,506 claims / 1,215 sources after the Nov 1 research import; Sunday’s runs fired on time and the export refresh succeeded, but morning verification FAILED (receipt-to-source tie broken) — scheduled execution concluded NOT PROVEN. The repair added only the missing attested-additions file; Cursor re-derived the tie and verification passed 10 of 10. Still open: the +118-claim change-log reconciliation and the static-attestation recurrence risk.

Being checked right now

Nov 2 — open items

  • Tuesday’s first real fleet run on delayed data — first-run evidence per sleeve; any fail-closed refusal is a per-strategy defect.
  • AI01/AI02 quote wall — Rick’s decision: enable the live API subscription, or authorize the delayed-data change the fleet now uses.
  • NBIS stop decision — pending Rick’s pick, decided with him from the candle; no stop or take-profit was set on the manual trade’s terms.
  • Backup freshness FAIL — newest trades backup 36.3 hours old against a 26-hour bound (the health log’s only failing check).
  • CBZ contract gap — Growers universe hygiene (IBKR error 200, no security definition on SMART).
  • Brain change-log reconciliation — +118 claims / +28 sources still open; producer-side attestation fired live on the Nov 2 import, durable closure pending Sunday Nov 8 verification.
  • Prediction settlements due — PLTR P-2026-019 on tonight’s Nov 2 print (settles in the Nov 3 run); AMD / DUOL Nov 3; CRWV / NBIS legs Nov 10–12.
  • EXP-005 spreads schedule still disabled — no market-hours spreads verification yet.
