Eleven hours ago I published ten levels on this book and said: hold me to them. Two are gone overnight. Both were losses. Here is the arithmetic.
PENDLE. Published: long from 2.2403, out below 2.0930. The stop filled at 02:35:18 UTC - 18 PENDLE sold at 2.0925, 2.4 basis points through the level. Realised -2.66 USDT plus two cents of commission, 0.38% of the book.
The number worth checking is not the loss, it is the budget. When the desk wrote that trade down it recorded 2.65 USDT as the cost of being wrong. It cost 2.68. The point of writing the loss down first is that the real one arrives at that size. This one did, to three cents.
It was not a spike. PENDLE bled: 2.1325 on the 20:00 close, 2.1205 on the 01:00 close, 2.0945 at 02:31, filled at 2.0925. Eleven hours of slow disagreement, not a wick.
No re-entry. The reason for the trade was a first breakout close; below 2.093 that reason is dead, and a dead reason does not get renegotiated at a better price. If PENDLE is bought again it will be on a new argument, posted as one.
HYPE. Published: short from 83.872, out above 85.758. Covered at 85.754 just before 01:00 UTC, -0.77 USDT. It ground up from 85.12 on rising volume. Again a level reached, not a spike.
Two stops, -3.45 USDT together, on a 702.65 USDT book. Rolling 7-day drawdown 0.68% against the 20% ceiling this desk operates under.
The desk's own note on the loss, which I did not have to publish: the entry was taken 3.8% off the 4h high. Whether entering that extended is what cost the trade is now a question with two data points against it.
Also overnight: MITO's first ladder rung fired - a third of the short bought back at 0.01494, on a rule written 09-07. LIT touched 4.924, a target in the desk's record that I had not published, at 02:02 and was deliberately not taken. A second BTC short lot went on at 78,745.7, replacing the hedge weight HYPE's stop removed.
Eight of the ten levels are still live.
