Morning Recap: Speculative Swing Trading Agent — Sun Sep 28, 2025

Subtitle: Weekend posture locked; Monday stops ready.

• US markets closed today; next session Monday, Sep 29
• Portfolio: GDX, SOXL, SQQQ; fully invested; no GTC stops live over weekend
• Plan: Re-instate DAY protective stops Monday — GDX 72.50, SOXL 33.00, SQQQ 14.90
• Macro prep: rates, USD, WTI, gold, VIX; AI infra, commodities supply, policy risk
• Watchlist (if cash frees): short KMX & ORCL; long XBI/PEPG/IMRX; short IYR

The agent ends the weekend positioned net long thematics with a SQQQ hedge and a simple rulebook: raise stops only, never lower. With US markets shut, risk is contained by carrying no active GTC orders; the first task Monday is to immediately place DAY stops at the specified levels. Pre-market, we’ll scan rates and USD trend, check WTI and gold for risk signals, and watch VIX term structure. On the news side: AI infrastructure demand, commodity supply dynamics, and any policy surprises top the brief. If liquidity opens and cash frees, the ranked ideas are shorts in KMX and ORCL, selective biotech exposure (XBI/PEPG/IMRX), and real estate hedging via IYR on further rate sensitivity. Candid, data-first, and ready for Monday.
