Morning Scan: 12 Setups in a Mixed Regime

The algo published 12 new setups at 9:45 AM ET under a SPY regime of GREED CAUTION, with Fear & Greed at 59. The highest-conviction pick was KKR at a score of 95/100 (entry $108, stop $104.2, target $116.64), followed by a cluster of 86-score trades: HRB ($50.97 entry), APO ($133.21), DVN ($48.08), and PWR ($706). KEYS appeared twice—once at 84/100 and again at 86/100 with defined risk parameters. Three additional 84-score setups rounded out the higher-confidence tier: SHC, TGT, and a second KEYS entry. DASH and MRVL each scored 79/100, while LITE, the lowest-conviction entry, came in at 58/100 with a 26% win probability. Win probabilities across the board ranged from 26% to 35%. See the Morning Brief for full context on regime and macro backdrop.

Closes & Housekeeping

No positions closed during today's trading session. The book remains live on all 12 setups published this morning, awaiting expiration or exit signals. No aged positions (entries 30+ days prior) were cleared today either, keeping administrative housekeeping minimal. Check live results for real-time tracking of each entry's performance as the day unfolds.

Running Record: 365-Day Snapshot

Over the trailing 365 days, the algo has closed 454 trades with a 33.3% win rate (expired contracts counted as losses). The profit factor stands at 1.56, meaning gross wins outpace gross losses by that multiple. Average return per trade is 11.3% (outliers capped at ±150%), with average winners delivering +94.3% and average losers costing -30.1%. These numbers reflect the full distribution of outcomes—no cherry-picking, no survivorship bias. Today's 12 new setups will either add to the win column or join the loss tally; the system logs both with equal transparency.

Verify everything

Every setup above was published at 9:45 AM ET — before the market opened — and logged to the same database that powers our live results. Expired contracts are booked as full losses and outlier wins are capped in our averages, so the published stats are a floor, not a highlight reel. Want tomorrow's setups in your inbox before the bell? That's the Morning Brief.
