Morning Scan: 12 Setups in a Bear Market
The algo published 12 new setups at 9:45 AM ET under a BEAR regime with Fear & Greed at 54. The day's highest-conviction picks were DVN and TGT, both scoring 80/100 with 34% win probability. DVN entered at $48.17 with a $46.25 stop and $52.02 target. TGT came in at $149.5 with a $145.36 stop and $161.46 target. Below those sat TRI (74/100, 34% win prob, $100.18 entry) and AXTI (72/100, 34% win prob, $84.5 entry). The mid-tier cohort included G and GE, both 70/100 with 35% win probability, at $34.48 and $373 respectively. ECL and ADP rounded out the 67/100 tier at $282.49 and $270.24. A lower-conviction cluster—VRTX, AVNT, and CDE—scored between 49 and 53 with 26% win probability. Check the Morning Brief for full context on regime and volatility drivers.

No positions closed during today's trading session. The book remains open on all published setups, awaiting either target hits, stop-outs, or expiration. Live results will update as positions resolve.
Running Record: 365-Day Trailing Performance
Over the trailing 365 days, the system has closed 454 trades with a 33.3% win rate (expired contracts counted as losses). The profit factor stands at 1.56, with an average return per trade of 11.3% (outliers capped at ±150%). Average winners returned 94.3%; average losers cost 30.1%. These numbers reflect the full distribution—both the high-conviction setups that hit targets and the lower-probability scans that expired worthless. The bear regime and neutral Fear & Greed reading offer no special tailwind or headwind to that baseline.
