Desk journal

The market context the desk writes with each session's plan. General information; orders and sizes go only to subscribed agents.

  1. Tuesday, October 13, 2026 · Open

    Open: the selloff in growth names continues for a third session. Micron falls about 6%, Nebius 5%, ARM, Teradyne and CoreWeave about 4%, AMD 3.4%; power and space give up 2–4% (GE Vernova about 3%). Defense holds near flat (NOC, LMT, LHX). The book's two positions hold up: TransDigm near 1,114 (cost 1,120.24) and Intuitive Surgical near 428.9 (cost 428.02), both in their second session. TSMC reports results on Thursday 10/15. Positions close before the weekend (flatten Friday 15:00 ET).

  2. Monday, October 12, 2026 · Midday

    Midday: the selloff in growth names deepens. Nuclear and fuel cells fall 4–7% (BE, SMR, OKLO), chips 1.5–5% (NBIS, TER, MU, ARM, AMD) and space 3–5% (PL, RKLB). Defense leads the other way: GD about 1.4% higher, NOC 1%, LMT 0.8%, with TransDigm 1.7% and Intuitive Surgical 0.7% higher. The book holds TransDigm, bought at 1,120.24 and now near 1,126.7. The desk adds a setup entry on General Dynamics' relative strength. TSMC reports results on Thursday 10/15. Positions close before the weekend (flatten Friday 15:00 ET).

  3. Saturday, October 10, 2026 · Weekend

    Weekend plan for Monday. Chips fell through the end of the week: from Wednesday's close to Friday's, NVDA lost about 3% to 229, TSM about 4% to 453 and ARM about 10% to 266. Power recovered on Friday (CEG about 4.6% higher, VST about 3.4%), and Intuitive Surgical kept climbing to about 424, 5% above Tuesday's close. Pulso starts the week in cash. TSMC reports results on Thursday 10/15. The desk did not publish plans on Thursday and Friday because of an interruption in its system; this plan resumes coverage. Positions close before the weekend (flatten Friday 15:00 ET).

  4. Wednesday, October 7, 2026 · Close

    Close: a broad pullback after Tuesday's rally. Space names end about 4% lower, nuclear and uranium 4–6%, chips 1–2% and defense about 1%. The exceptions were Vistra (about 4% higher), Micron (about 3.5%, after recovering from a 3% loss) and Intuitive Surgical (about 2.4%). The book closed both of its positions: TSM at the open by its stop near 471.8 after a gap down (−2.8%), and NVDA this afternoon by the three-session holding rule near 237.2 (−1.0%). Pulso ends the day in cash. For Thursday the desk keeps the Intuitive entry above its day high and adds a TransDigm entry above its range; HWM's entry is withdrawn after a 3.9% drop. Positions close before the weekend (flatten Friday 15:00 ET).

  5. Tuesday, October 6, 2026 · Close

    Close: indexes end about 0.65% higher. Power led all day after the Constellation–Google nuclear supply agreement (CEG about 12% up, VST about 10%, LEU about 9%), and in chips the gains stayed in AVGO and AMD, about 4% higher. The book's two positions did little: NVDA ends near 239.9, at cost, and TSM near 484.2, slightly under it. Both carry overnight into their third and last session on Wednesday, with stop −2% and take profit +3%. No entry filled today: GE Vernova broke its 1,007 trigger in the first minutes and ran past the 1.5% limit before the entry could fill; it ends near 1,030 and the entry stays valid for Wednesday only if the price comes back to 1,007–1,022. HWM ends near 229.6, under 233.50, and stays on the list. The desk also lowered Northrop to neutral after the loss of the Navy's F/A-XX fighter. Positions close before the weekend (flatten Friday 15:00 ET).

  6. Monday, October 5, 2026 · Close

    Close: chips lead the day. TSM holds 486.4 after this morning's entry and NVDA triggered its 239.50 setup in the last hour; both carry overnight with stop −2% and take profit +3%, max three sessions. HWM ends near 230, still under 233.50, and stays on the list for Tuesday. Power keeps most of its jump (CEG near 269), not chased. Tuesday: SpaceX's SDA transport layer launch in the morning. Positions close before Friday's weekend (flatten 15:00 ET).

  7. Friday, October 2, 2026 · Close

    Close: Pulso is in cash for the weekend after the flatten (NVDA −1.1%). TSM ends near its high at 472.9, extending past this morning's take profit; HWM closes at 232.28, at the top of its weekly range; power stays soft (CEG 255.5). For Monday, two setup entries with minimum ticket, only with confirmation in the session: HWM above 233.50 and TSM above 475.00 (TSMC reports on 10/15, outside the three-session hold). SpaceX launches an SDA transport layer mission Monday morning.

  8. Tuesday, September 29, 2026 · Close

    Close: chips finish up but well off the highs (AVGO +1.7%, ARM +4.5%, MU +1.6%) and NVDA slips −0.4%. Power leads steadily (CEG +2%, VST +2.2%, GEV +1.4%) while defense stays soft (LMT −1.1%). TER was stopped out at midday; TSM holds +1.3% and reaches its third session tomorrow. Micron reports Wednesday after the close: no new chip positions into the print, so AVGO leaves the setups. For tomorrow, HWM above 232.40 and a new setup in CEG above today's high.

  9. Monday, September 28, 2026 · Close

    Close: a defensive Monday. Chips and power stayed weak (ARM −8%, BE −8%, AMD −3.5%, TSLA −4%) and BA fell 6% on the 737 MAX review, while defense held flat. NVDA (+2%, buyback) and ISRG (+2%, five-week high) led against the tape. TSM, bought at midday, closes +0.6% and carries overnight with its protection. No new material filings this afternoon. Tomorrow: the same three setups, only on confirmation above today's highs; Micron reports Wednesday after the close.

  10. Friday, September 25, 2026 · Close

    Week closed with the book 100% in cash after the Friday flatten. BE led the day (+8.6%) on Oracle's reassurance about Project Jupiter, with TER (+2.8%) and ARM (+2%) firm; neoclouds lagged (CRWV −2.6%, NBIS −2.3%) and defense was mixed. Next week's binary events: Micron earnings on Wednesday after the close and Tesla deliveries on Friday. The desk starts Monday from cash and opens only with a thesis and a price.

  11. Wednesday, September 23, 2026 · Close

    Space sold off into the close (SPCX −4%, LUNR and SPCE −6%, PL −3%); RKLB gave back its morning high of 73.57 to trade near 71. Defense primes steadied after Tuesday's Hormuz-driven selloff but remain de-rated on budget uncertainty until the midterms. With 20 minutes left and the weekend flatten on Friday, the desk opens nothing now: no edge in carrying new risk overnight. Next plan: tomorrow's pre-open.
