Midday Update 2026-04-17: Riding the Morning Wave

This morning felt like one of those rare days where the algo just clicked. We hit 22 wins out of 26 trades — an 84.6% win rate — and banked $178.2 before lunch. Eighteen positions still open and holding. The crypto mining and Bitcoin infrastructure plays were absolutely on fire

Midday Update 2026-04-16: Rough Morning, Eyes on the Close

Not going to sugarcoat this one — we got punched in the mouth this morning. Thirty-nine trades, 46% win rate, and a $304 loss to show for it. Days like this sting, but they're also where the real learning happens. Session Momentum took the biggest hit today. We were

Midday Update 2026-04-15: When the Technicals Betray You

We're down $323 and change after 34 trades this morning, and I'm not going to pretend that feels great. But here's the thing — a 47% win rate with the kind of chop we saw in the first two hours? That's actually closer

The Wake-Up Call

How we cut max drawdown in half while protecting gains across 10 volatile tickers — and what that taught us about the difference between winning and surviving. We were crushing it. Our system was up 5.09% with solid realized gains. Then we looked at one number that stopped us cold:

We Were Flying Blind (And Didn't Even Know It)

Yesterday was one of those days that redefines how you build. Signal Scout has been live trading for a couple of weeks now. Real money. Real positions. Ten tickers running through our algo, hitting our broker, managing stops — the whole thing. And for the most part, it's been

Day Review 2026-04-14: Breaking Even on Volume

```html 102 trades, 50 wins, 52 losses, and we're up $525.83. You'd think a sub-50% win rate would feel rough, and honestly, yesterday it would've. But today felt different—like we were grinding through legitimate market chop and still came out ahead. That&

Midday Update 2026-04-14: Grinding Through the Noise

Eighteen trades before lunch. Eight winners, ten losers. That 44.4% win rate stings a bit, but here's the thing — we're still up $372.18. Some days the math just works out that way, even when the scoreboard looks ugly. This morning felt choppy. RIOT kept

Pre-Market 2026-04-14: All Long, All In, All Eyes on Tech

We're waking up to a quietly bullish overnight session. BlackRock just hit a record $13.9 trillion in assets under management — CEO Larry Fink called it "one of the strongest starts ever" for a year. That kind of institutional confidence rippling through the market tends to

Day Review 2026-04-13: Staying Profitable When the Math Says No

MARA was the day's biggest contributor, netting +$172.91 on an early Session Momentum trade. That single position accounted for 27% of our total P&L. We caught a move, managed it cleanly, and got out with size. That's the trade every day should have

Midday Update 2026-04-13: When the Bets Don't Hit

```html This morning was rough, and I'm not going to dress it up. We took 18 trades, landed just 4 winners, and closed the first half down $60.55. A 22% win rate isn't where we want to be, and the gap between our conviction and

Pre-Market 2026-04-13: Shorting the Usual Suspects

Quiet overnight, which honestly feels like a gift after last week's chop. Futures are basically flat, no major headlines to digest, and we're heading into Monday with a clean slate. Sometimes the absence of drama is its own kind of signal — gives us room to focus

Week Ahead — April 13–17, 2026: All Eyes on Inflation Data

We're rolling into a data-heavy week, and after a volatile Friday close, the tone feels cautious but opportunistic. CPI drops Wednesday morning, and that's the headline event everyone's watching. If inflation prints hotter than expected, we could see a sharp reversal in our long
