Real-money automated strategies on the Public.com brokerage accounts, one
block per account. Data below comes from the stored Public.com portfolio/transaction snapshot and local strategy state,
as of 1:10pm ET, Sep 27. These are last observed values; a failed refresh can leave an older snapshot.
Each account and strategy carries its own as-of stamp.
Sizing: 15% of account equity per position, floor $400, cap 40% of equity, minimum entry $400; each buy = min(target, spendable funds − 0.65% fee reserve). De-risk ladder: after 2 consecutive losing exits the fraction is halved (f=0.075) until a winning trade. Replaced the $500→$3,000 Tier-2 ratchet on Sep 4, 2026.
Management: Exits: 6-night hold timer (HOLD_DAYS=6; re-trigger resets, higher-sig coin wins) and BTC > EMA100 regime gate (flip → cash). Kill gates ENFORCED in code (pre-registered SCALP_PROMPT.md): −35% drawdown from the ledger high-water mark, trailing-12-month return < −15%, avg execution shortfall > 15bp/side (20-side window, from 10 sides) — a trip refuses new entries, alerts once, and sticks until reviewed. Exactly-once orders (durable intent + zero SDK retries), 8dp raw-POST sells, process lock, same-signal-date guard, data-glitch gate, crypto-only open-order guard. Schedule: 8:01 pm ET trade, 9:15 pm watchdog, 10:31 pm catch-up, 9:30 am liveness, 8:30 am status line. 100% LLM-free.

every settled print re-evaluates it (12am/8am/4pm ET). A 1-minute deterministic watchdog
flattens on kill (−$50/8d or 3 negative days) and auto re-enters on HOT — no agent in the
trade path. Optimization rounds: R4 (Pareto 450 configs / TimesFM-3 forecast layer / GEPA

Swinging Balls LIVE
Leg-by-leg profit taking on top of the carry
(mn_skew_take.py, live in the 1-min watchdog). Arm when the winning leg's
unrealized P&L ≥ $6 (48bp of one-side notional) — arms on the LEG, not the
pair (near-balanced notional means a rip moves both equally; a pair trigger
would never fire, which is why XRP sat flat through a 10% move). Once armed:
a ≥$2 giveback from peak skew takes the RAIL long (locks the rip), the naked
perp short keeps earning carry as a carry_lock with two stops — a
$1.50 trail off high-water and a floor at pair skew ≤ $0 that closes the
whole pair, then a 20h cooldown. v1 covers the rip case; the dump case
stays with the P&L kill (taking the winning short first would strand the
rail long with no carry book).

X Strategy Review — MrMilkTrading NQ "Morning Dip Limit" scalp EST
Post 2103973130108596686
(2026-09-26, @MrMilkTrading) claims an out-of-sample September 2026 run of
Out-of-sample September 2026: 67% win rate, 1.75 profit factor, ~2 trades/day, +$4,650 from 1 NQ. Screenshot label: 'Morning Dip Limit'; backtest on 1-second NQ data with modeled fills and fees, averaged over 10 candle start times..
No rules are published — no level, no stop, no target. The Kaufman-efficiency-ratio "trade only when choppy"
gate is not in the post; it is the forwarded hypothesis and was tested here on its own merits.
Reconstruction: 600-config grid of the canonical morning-dip-limit family (buy-limit at prev close or open minus
k×ATR, stop = sl×ATR, target = rr×sl, flat 15:59 ET, max 2/day) against 441 NQ 1-minute sessions
(Jan 2025 → Sep 25 2026), $4.00 round-turn + 0.5pt stop slippage.

Claim arithmetic checks out: 18 sessions × 2 trades = 36 fills → $129/trade = 6.5 pts;
at 67% wins / PF 1.75 that implies a 22.5pt average win against a 26.1pt average loss (reward:risk 0.86) —
a small-target wide-stop scalp, no metric incoherence. Measured trade frequency 1.85/day matches the claim.

The framing is half-right. "Low KER" is really "don't buy a dip into a persistent one-hour
sell-off": high-KER + last-hour-down is the worst cell in both windows (knife-catching), low-KER + last-hour-down
the best in both. But no cell clears PF 1.00 out-of-sample — it is a risk filter, not an edge.
The pre-computable version fails outright: a walk-forward gate on the prior session's KER60
(low quintile of its own trailing 60 sessions) is worse than ungated on 3 of 4 anchor configs OOS
(PF 0.44 / 0.52 / 0.69 vs ungated 0.71 / 0.99 / 0.88).
September 2026 was simply a good month for the family (46% of the grid profitable vs 9.5%
across the surrounding OOS window) — 31 of the
600 configs hit the claimed profile (WR≥60%, PF≥1.5, ≥$4,000) in September, and those same
configs sit at median PF 1.00 outside it. The eight best discovery configs are all OOS-negative (PF 0.71–0.88).
Pooled monthly net per config swings ±$5k on 1 NQ (May 2025 +$5.1k, Jul 2026 −$9.6k, Sep 2026 +$0.3k).

Watchlist
KER as risk gate (paper)
YES as a regime-filter data point - 'high KER + recent down' is the reliable loser for any mean-reversion entry, confirmed on 236k discovery / 40k OOS trades. NO - the family itself is negative (OOS median PF 0.81; only 9.5% of 600 configs net-positive; the discovery-top-8 are all OOS-negative). NONE - nothing to deploy. No futures rail on our venues anyway (Alpaca: stocks/options/crypto; Public: stocks/ETFs/options/crypto/prediction markets), and the intraday 2-trades/day scalp needs live intraday execution.
KER-as-risk-gate for existing mean-reversion sleeves (paper study) - test whether gating entries when the last 60 x 1m bars show high efficiency + a down net move improves the ATH-dip / Bilbo family.
Method: Canonical reconstruction of the 'morning dip limit' family: buy-limit at prev-RTH-close (or session open) minus k x prior-day ATR(14) of RTH ranges, valid 09:30 to 11:00/12:00 ET, then stop = sl x ATR and target = rr x sl (time-flat 15:59 ET), max 2 trades/day. 600-config grid x 441 NQ sessions (1-minute, Databento GLBX continuous Jan 2025 - Sep 11 2026 spliced to yfinance NQ=F Sep 14-25; the Databento 2026-09-14 session excluded, continuous-contract roll verified against the yfinance cross-check). Costs: $4.00 round-turn + 0.5pt slippage on stop exits. Discovery window 2025-01-02 to 2026-06-30 (378 sessions), OOS 2026-07-01 to 2026-09-25 (62 sessions), claim month Sep 1-25 2026 (18 sessions).

X Strategy Review — shentrades "$SPY 0DTE Setup" (1-min RSI scalp) EST
Post 2103894939075739988
(2026-09-26, @shentrades): $SPY 0DTE Setup: 0DTE, 1-minute timeframe, S/R levels; RSI<30 = calls, RSI>70 = puts; 15% TP/SL with OCO; max 1-10 minute hold.No stats are given — no win rate, no P&L, no screenshot, no strikes, no costs. The author sells a
Playbook + indicator + Discord.
Test: SPY 1-minute RTH bars (Alpaca IEX), 206,369 bars / 539 sessions (Aug 2024 → Sep 25 2026), RSI(14) cross of
30/70 on 1-minute closes, then the actual ATM 0DTE option priced minute-by-minute with Black-Scholes
(same-day 16:00 ET expiry, fixed IV) so theta and gamma are inside the number; exit at ±15% of entry premium
or the 10-minute stop; spread charged as a round-trip premium haircut.

The RSI filter is decoration. Signal minutes lose exactly what random minutes lose:
48.2% wins / — of premium on the signal vs
48.2% / −1.35% entering at any minute with the same bracket.
Fading the signal is also negative (−1.60%), so the 30/70 cross carries no directional information at a
1–10 minute horizon — what is left is cost. Measured frequency: 10.2
signals/session at RSI(14), 31.2 at RSI(7).

Signal = base rate. RSI(14) minutes: 48.2% wins, -1.35% of premium. Random minutes, same option, same bracket: 48.2% wins, -1.35%. The filter selects a subset of minutes and adds no predictive content.
Both directions lose. Fading the signal is also negative (-1.60%), so the 30/70 cross carries no directional information at a 1-10 minute horizon; what is left is cost.
Not a cost artefact alone. With ZERO spread the bracket still loses -0.35% per trade (win 48.5%): a symmetric +/-15% bracket on a convex, decaying option is mildly negative even before you pay anybody.
Stable across regimes: -1.32% (2024), -1.18% (2025), -1.58% (2026). No year, no period, no tweak dimension tested turns it positive.
Frequency is the multiplier: 10.2 signals a session at RSI(14) (31.2 at RSI(7)) at -1.35% of premium each is -13.8% of premium bled per session at a 1% all-in cost.
Caveat, stated: the model holds IV fixed, so it cannot capture an intraday vol pop that would flatter a long-gamma scalp on the winners. That cannot rescue the result, because the comparison that matters - signal vs base rate - uses the identical pricing model.

As a trade: no. As evidence: yes - it prices the buyer's side of the 0DTE premium trade we run on the sell side. NONE. No sleeve, no shadow, no paper lab. Counter-party read only: our premium-selling sleeves (ATR credit spreads, XSP cash-secured puts) are the other side of this bleed.
Method: SPY 1-minute RTH bars from Alpaca IEX (206,369 bars, 539 sessions, 2024-08-01 to 2026-09-25). Signal: 1-minute RSI cross of 30/70 (Wilder, computed on the RTH close series). Trade: buy the ATM 0DTE option (SPY $1 strikes, same-day 16:00 ET expiry), priced minute-by-minute with Black-Scholes at fixed IV so theta and gamma are inside the number; exit at +/-15% of entry premium or the 10-minute time stop; spread charged as a round-trip premium haircut.

X Strategy Review — thetriggertrade "Resting OrderFlow" indicator EST
Post 2103971387161346082
(2026-09-26, @thetriggertrade) is a free open-source TradingView indicator, not a strategy:
Turns the volume footprint into a map of resting liquidity: price rows where buyers or sellers dominated and price has not traded back through, drawn as buy (support) / sell (resistance) nodes plus a period POC node and a live pressure column. No win rate, no P&L, no signal — the guide itself says 'these are usage frames, not signals'.
What it never claims: Pine has no order book access (resting size is INFERRED from executed footprint volume); needs a Premium/Ultimate TradingView plan for footprint data; footprint granularity varies by timeframe and history depth; repaints by design on recent bars; proxy mode is an approximation.
Test: the one falsifiable piece — does a fresh, untouched node hold on first touch? Footprint rows rebuilt in
Python with the script's own documented proxy rule, on NQ 1-minute RTH bars
(165,641 RTH 1m bars, 432 sessions, Jan 2 2025 -> Sep 14 2026) and an independent ES holdout (165,643 RTH 1m bars, same window (holdout instrument)).
Memory 500-bar and 2000-bar rolling footprint memory; freshness node must be untouched for 20 or 60 bars to count as resting; outcome fixed 15-point bracket resolved over 30 minutes, plus forward return at 15/30/60 min;
baseline identical bracket + forward returns at every 7th bar, no level at all.

Shallow memory (500 bars) shows nothing on either side: NQ buy nodes resolved up 48.6% vs a 47.5% baseline, and the sell nodes resolved up MORE often than the baseline (49.9%) - the opposite of resistance.
Deep memory (2000 bars) is the only place the claim shows up, and it shows up on both NQ configs: buy nodes 50.5% / 53.6% up vs a 47.9% baseline, sell nodes 43.8% / 45.0% up.
The ES holdout (pre-registered direction: buy-side up-rate at least 3pp above baseline, sell-side at least 3pp below) passes the BUY half in both configs (+6.0pp and +4.3pp, forward 15m +2.45 / +1.12 vs a +0.18 baseline) and FAILS the SELL half in both (18.8% and 17.1% up vs a 14.9% baseline - above, not below).
Cell sizes are ~300 events per side, which puts a 95% CI of about +/-4 to +/-6pp on every up-rate: the surviving buy-side tilt is inside the band where a single holdout can flip the sign.
Tick-footprint upgrade untested: true aggressor side and finer rows need real trade data (Databento NQ trades quoted at $2.53 per week for this window). Not purchased - the free-proxy result did not justify the spend.

Watchlist
deep-memory buy nodes (tick data)
As a free TradingView tool for a discretionary chart, yes - the guide is unusually honest (no order book claimed, repainting and timeframe dependence both stated). NO tradable edge. The buy side half-replicates (+4 to +6pp up-rate vs baseline on a holdout instrument), the resistance mirror fails on that same holdout, and the effect vanishes at shallow memory. NONE. The recipe is fully specified in the guide and could be reimplemented in Python from Databento ticks, but the level map is descriptive, not predictive - nothing to port into the stack.
Only if a real use case appears: a pre-registered, larger-sample test of the deep-memory buy-node tilt on tick footprint data. Method: The testable core (a fresh node holds on first touch) rebuilt in Python from NQ and ES 1-minute RTH bars. Footprint rows use the script's own documented proxy rule (intrabar close>open = buy, close<open = sell, flat inherits prior direction; the bar's volume spread across the rows its high-low spans) on a fixed price grid, exactly what the indicator does for bars without tick footprint. The indicator is free; the footprint data it needs is not - TradingView Premium/Ultimate ($30-60/mo class). Our own rail already has the same inputs free at 1-minute resolution, which is what this test used.
Reviewed 2026-09-27. Numbers are estimates (EST) from 1-minute bars and the indicator's
own documented proxy - not the author's chart, timeframe, or row settings.
