Tuesday Nov 3 — first real trading day · 22 fills
MA-Cross: 16 fills. Momentum: 6 fills. Every fill has its 15% GTC stop placed and working; the fleet ledger matched the broker exactly.
The delayed-data cost is now measured: 17 of 39 entry orders never filled and were cancelled.
Four sleeves — Snapback, Growers, Drop-Stabilization and Alert of the Day — failed closed on the single-writer lease: the 600-second wait was too short behind 1,452 seconds of continuous lease hold (Momentum’s session ran ~21 minutes, dominated by fill polls on unfilled orders), even though ~20 minutes of entry window remained.
Same-day fix: the lease wait is now window-aware (wait until the 10:15 ET entry-window close, 2,700s cap, heartbeat receipt past 900s, de-phased retries). It was exercised end-to-end on the production path with all six sleeves, independently reviewed by Cursor (two HIGH findings — unit timeouts and receipt truthfulness — both fixed and re-checked closed), and is installed for Wednesday’s fire. Fleet unit timeouts aligned at 3600s.
AI01 refused on an unresolved owned exit; AI02 missed its window entirely. Their quote-wall decision remains Rick’s (see Being Checked).
Alert of the Day recorded “no pick — no coverage” by design again (no fresh TradingView export).
