The Markets Desk — Week 38 · Tue 15 Sept 2026
Track record / Dated when made · scored when it resolves

The record of the judgment, not a quote screen.

Every view is stated in public with a date on it, and scored mechanically when it resolves — not before.

Real return · the book

% only — sizing stays privateThe daily log →

The headline here will be the return on the book, in percentages only, once the trade journal carries enough entries to plot. Until then the record below is the proof: open directional calls, each stating its direction and what would prove it wrong, scored when they resolve.

How the record is kept

Returns come from the trade journal, in percentages only. Every directional call locks at publication and is scored mechanically when it resolves — the stated direction against the realized move. A live call shows no running percentage on purpose: the position is exited on a broken thesis, not on price, so a number that moves daily would grade the wrong thing. Nothing is deleted; the resolved feed is the full history.
