Morning Scan: 12 New Setups in Cautious Bull Mode
At 9:45 AM ET, the algo published 12 fresh setups across a CAUTIOUS BULL regime with Fear & Greed at 39. Five equity picks led the charge—MTN, OKE, BX, PSN, and MET—each scoring 97/100 with 55% win probability and entry prices ranging from $59.33 to $146.5. Seven options contracts followed: GS (1110C, Sep 4 exp, score 83), AAPL (345C, Sep 4 exp, score 81), V (365C, Aug 28 exp, score 80), SCI and VNO (both 80/100), BAC (64C, Sep 4 exp, score 77), and JPM (365C, Sep 4 exp, score 75). All options carried the same 55% win probability baseline. Check the Morning Brief for full context on regime and entry logic.
Today's Closes: 11 Winners, 4 Losers from Earlier Entries
The day's trading activity closed 11 positions, and all 11 were winners. ELS led with a 468.6% return on an options trade entered yesterday. SCHW delivered 144.8%, HON 149.3%, HOMB options 133.3%, JPM options 105.1%, and RTX options 82.1%. HOMB stocks added 8.1%. Meanwhile, four positions from earlier in the month exited as losses: AMD (stocks) fell 11.9% via stop on a July 10 entry; NVDA (options) dropped 40.3% via stop-premium on July 21; AMAT (options) fell 43% via stop-premium on July 22; and KRC (options) lost 40% via stop-premium, also from July 22. See live results for full trade-by-trade detail. The day's net was decisively positive, though the earlier entries that closed as losses remind us that not every setup works.
Running Book: 961 Closed Trades, 42.5% Win Rate
Over the trailing 365 days, the algo has closed 961 trades with a 42.5% win rate (expired contracts counted as losses), a 3.18 profit factor, and an average return of 30.7% per trade (outliers capped at ±150%). Average winners land at 106.9%; average losers at 24.2% down. Administrative housekeeping: three aged positions entered 30+ days ago were cleared today—ASML (options, May 26 entry) and TKR (options, May 27 entry) both expired as losses, while JPM (stocks, June 22 entry) closed as an 8.3% win. These are portfolio cleanup, not today's trading signal.
