Every idea the framework generates, with the date it was opened and where it stands now — marked honestly, whether it’s working or not. Ideas are logged when the monthly report publishes, not backfilled afterwards.

| Idea | Opened | Thesis | Mark (6 Jul) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GS / JPM spread | Jul 2026 (Wk 1) | Ratio below its 45-day mean of 3.22 — mean-reversion in relative bank valuation | +2.4% as of 6 Jul | Working |
| Korea — EWY | Jun 2026 | Won firming alongside improving regional export data | +8.3% on the month, as of 6 Jul | Working |
| India — contrarian | May 2026 | Contrarian entry; upgraded to PASS on a second consecutive positive month | Upgraded as of 6 Jul | Working |
| Cash-heavy positioning | Nov 2025 | ~95% cash, trading only — housing/permits tail risk not compensated | n/a | Watch |
| Date | Signal | Change | Trigger |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 Jul 2026 | Labour | Neutral → Bearish | June NFP +57k vs ~115k consensus; fired the pre-set <75k rule |
| 6 Jul 2026 | Rates | Bearish → Neutral | 2026 hike odds pared to ~42%; WTI −24% on the month |
| 6 Jul 2026 | Volatility (ATR) | Bullish → Neutral | Realised vol ~1.5%/day, up ~50% — wider stops, smaller size |
| 6 Jul 2026 | Composite score | +7 → +6 | Net of the three flips above; headline stays bullish |
| 4 Aug 2026 | Labour | Bearish → Neutral | Factory employment 52.8 from 49.7 — first expansion in 33 months; payrolls on 7 Aug were the test |
| 4 Aug 2026 | Volatility | Neutral → Bullish | VIX 16.49 from 20.65 — the late-July stress lasted days, not weeks |
| 4 Aug 2026 | Rates | Neutral → Bearish | Long bonds still pinned near 52-week lows; the July upgrade did not hold. Not in the original log, added 29 Sep 2026 |
| 4 Aug 2026 | Composite score | +6 → +10 | ISM 55.6 four-year high, employment expanding, vol collapsed; rates the lone bearish holdout. Corrected from +9 to match the report’s own 11 bull / 3 neutral / 1 bear tally. The three flips logged here net to +1; the other +3 came from signals whose changes were not logged |
| 7 Aug 2026 | Labour | Not confirmed | July payrolls first printed at −23k, not the 125k+ the upgrade rule needed (later revised to +21k). The 4 Aug report treated payrolls as the confirmation, and they did not confirm it. BLS |
| Sep 2026 | Model | Replaced | The old 15-signal equal-weight score was replaced by the 12-row weighted v3 model (dissertation part plus a labelled overlay). Scores before and after are not comparable |
| Sep 2026 | Composite score | −2 Neutral | First score on the v3 model. Not a like-for-like move from +10. The Fed raised rates on 16 September. The full report follows the ISM release on 1 October |
These are research ideas generated by a framework, not a trading account. They carry no position sizing, no leverage assumptions and no fee or slippage drag, so they should not be read as a return stream. What they do show is whether the framework’s calls were directionally right, and how quickly it admits when they aren’t.
Marks are updated once a month when the regime report publishes. An idea is closed when its thesis is invalidated or the signal that generated it flips — and closed ideas stay on this page, including losers. A track record that only shows winners is a marketing document, not a record.
For educational purposes only. These are framework-generated research ideas, not recommendations, not advice, and not a representation of actual trading returns. Past performance does not indicate future results.
The regime report includes the updated track record — what changed, what closed, and why.
