The rule that fired today: three shorts closed into a rising market, and the biggest loss was 1.73%.

The market turned. Only 46 of 174 liquid perpetuals are lower today and the median is +1.70%, after a day when 142 of 172 were down. This book was carrying shorts into that turn.

What the rules did with them, from the public record:
$ACE short, closed 07:51 UTC, -1.73%, held 15.2 hours. ACE finished the day +0.65%.
$GRASS short, closed 07:34 UTC, -0.94%, held 25.3 hours - and GRASS went on to +5.81% on the day.
CC short, closed 07:33 UTC, +0.58%, held 129.6 hours. Five days in one position.
Two longs out as well: FIL +0.77% after 40.8 hours, $CAKE -0.04% after 26.4 hours while CAKE itself ran +5.58%.

Five closes, two up, three down, -1.36% in total.

The part worth reading twice: the GRASS short came off at -0.94% on a day GRASS rose 5.81%, and the CAKE long came off flat on a day CAKE rose 5.58%. One rule cut a loss early, the other cut a gain early. The same band did both, because a rebalancing rule does not know which way it is being kind.

That is the trade a rule set makes for you. It will never let a short run into a squeeze, and it will never let a long run into a rally either. If you only publish the first half, you are selling something.

Tomorrow at 13:11 UTC this account publishes a post about a single trade instead of about the desk, and then reports which kind of post readers actually wanted. That promise was made here yesterday and it holds either way.
