The trigger details are empty - no name, description, or meta. This is a scheduled trigger that runs at 0 9-17 * * 1-5 (every hour from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday). The current time is Friday, Jun 26, 2026, 1:00 PM EDT.

Since there are no specific instructions in the trigger details, I should look at what I'm supposed to do. Let me check if there are any strategy files or blog posts that might give me context on what tasks to perform during these scheduled runs.

Let me check the space storage for any instructions or strategy files.

This is a scheduled trigger running at 1:00 PM EDT on Friday, June 26, 2026. The trigger runs every hour from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays. There are no specific instructions in the trigger details, so I need to figure out what to do based on the context.

Looking at the blog posts, I can see there's already a pre-market post and an 11 AM post for today (June 26). The last blog post was at 11 AM. Now it's 1 PM, so I should do a midday/1 PM update.

Let me read the most recent blog posts and the strategies to understand what's going on, then check the account and positions, and write a blog update.

Let me read the latest blog post, the index, and the strategies README to understand the current state.

Now I understand the context. This is a scheduled hourly check-in during market hours (9 AM - 5 PM, Monday-Friday). It's currently 1:00 PM EDT on Friday, June 26, 2026 (Day 5). The last update was at 11:00 AM. I need to:

1. Check the current account status and positions
2. Get current market data for FDX and other relevant symbols
3. Search for any recent news
4. Write a blog post update
5. Update the index.md and strategies README.md

Let me start by reading the relevant skill files and then making API calls.

Portfolio History (15-min intervals): The latest data point shows equity at $97,666.09 with P&L -$219.60 at the last 15-min mark.

Let me map the timestamps:

• 1782480600 = 9:30 AM → $97,800.79, P&L -$84.90
• 1782481500 = 9:45 AM → $97,731.79, P&L -$153.90

• 1782490500 = 12:15 PM → $97,709.44, P&L -$176.25
• 1782491400 = 12:30 PM → $97,668.49, P&L -$217.20
• 1782492300 = 12:45 PM → $97,656.79, P&L -$228.90
• 1782493200 = 1:00 PM → $97,666.09, P&L -$219.60

So the portfolio has been trending down. The lowest point was 12:45 PM at $97,656.79 (P&L -$228.90). Now slightly recovering at 1:00 PM to $97,666.09.

Let me write the blog post now.

This is the 3:00 PM EDT scheduled market check-in on Friday, June 26, 2026 (Day 5). The last update was at 2:00 PM. I need to check the current portfolio status, get market data, search for news, and write a blog update.

Let me fetch the current account, positions, orders, and market data all at once.

Now I have all the data I need. Let me compile the key information for the 3 PM update.

• NVDA: $193.72, Open $193.11, High $195.55, Low $191.24, VWAP $193.72, prev close $195.89 → -1.11%
• MU: $1144.73, Open $1138.80, High $1198.54, Low $1127.07, VWAP $1166.10, prev close $1215.46 → -5.81%

Portfolio History (15-min intervals) — new data points since 2 PM:

• 2:15 PM (1782497700): $97,697.59, P&L -$188.10
• 2:30 PM (1782498600): $97,692.79, P&L -$192.90
• 2:45 PM (1782499500): $97,685.89, P&L -$199.80
• 3:00 PM (1782500400): $97,700.59, P&L -$185.10

Wait, the account shows $97,702.39 but the portfolio history shows $97,700.59 at 3:00 PM. The account value is more current (real-time) while the portfolio history is at 15-min intervals. Let me use the account value.

Key changes from 2 PM to 3 PM:

• FDX improved significantly: $322.40 → $323.33 (up $0.93)
• FDX now ABOVE VWAP! $323.36 vs VWAP $323.48 — almost at VWAP, gap only $0.12 (was $1.17 below at 2 PM)
• SPY turned RED: $733.67 → $731.62 (-0.23% vs +0.05% at 2 PM)
• QQQ worsened: $711.52 → $708.53 (-1.08% vs -0.67% at 2 PM)
• SMH worsened: $615.51 → $611.70 (-3.89% vs -3.29% at 2 PM)
• NVDA worsened: $194.59 → $193.72 (-1.11% vs -0.66% at 2 PM) — back below exit $194.92
• MU worsened significantly: $1,159.21 → $1,144.73 (-5.81% vs -4.63% at 2 PM)
• QCOM worsened significantly: $196.91 → $194.37 (-5.19% vs -3.95% at 2 PM) — new low $194.14
• AAPL improved: $279.19 → $280.72 (+2.00% vs +1.44% at 2 PM) — new high $281.80
• Portfolio improved: $97,674.49 → $97,702.39 (up $27.90)

This is very interesting! FDX is RALLYING while the broad market is SELLING OFF. FDX is now nearly at VWAP ($323.36 vs $323.48), which is a bullish signal. The gap has narrowed from $1.17 to just $0.12. FDX is outperforming SPY by a significant margin now — FDX is up $0.93 while SPY is down $2.05.

This is a notable reversal from earlier in the day when FDX was underperforming. FDX is now showing relative strength while the broad market weakens. This could be:

1. Quarter-end rebalancing flows favoring FDX (industrials)
2. FDX finding support at the $321.50 low
3. Late-day rotation into value/industrials from tech
4. FedEx Freight positive analyst coverage (BofA Buy) finally being priced in

The key news since 2 PM is mostly analyst ratings and minor items. The Polymarket investigation is interesting but not directly relevant to our positions. The SpaceX IPO exposing Europe's space gap is tangentially relevant to our closed RKLB position.

Let me write the blog post.

The 4 PM trigger run was incomplete, and now we have a 5 PM trigger. The market closes at 4 PM ET, so the 4 PM run would have been the market close update, and the 5 PM run is after-hours. Let me fetch the current data and write the market close blog post. Since the 4 PM run was incomplete, I should cover both the close and any after-hours developments.

Let me fetch account, positions, orders, market data, portfolio history, and news.

This is very important data. Let me analyze what happened:

Account Status (5:00 PM ET, after market close):

• Portfolio Value: $97,577.59
• Cash: $88,002.49
• Buying Power: $378,820.24
• Long Market Value: $9,575.10
• Last Equity: $97,885.69
• Total P&L (from $100K): -$2,422.41 (-2.42%)

FDX Position:

• Current Price: $319.17
• Entry: $327.406
• Shares: 30
• Cost Basis: $9,822.18
• Market Value: $9,575.10
• Unrealized P&L: -$247.08 (-2.52%)
• Change today: -3.12%
• Stop at $305, distance: (319.17 - 305) / 319.17 = 4.4%

Wait, the FDX daily bar shows close at $318.165, but the position shows current_price $319.17. The daily bar close is $318.165 (market close at 4 PM), but the position current price is $319.17 which might be an after-hours price. Let me check the latest trade for FDX: $318.165 at 19:59:54 UTC (3:59:54 PM ET). So the market close was $318.165.

But the position shows current_price $319.17. This might be a stale or different calculation. Let me use the daily bar close for the market close price.

Actually, looking more carefully at the FDX snapshot:

• dailyBar close: $318.165 (this is the regular session close at 4 PM ET)
• latestTrade: $318.165 at 19:59:54 UTC (3:59:54 PM ET) — this was the last regular session trade
• latestQuote: ap $333.24, bp $303.7 at 20:00:00 UTC (4:00 PM ET) — this is a very wide spread, suggesting after-hours illiquidity

The position current_price of $319.17 might be from a different source or calculation. Let me use the daily bar close of $318.165 as the market close price.

Wait, actually the position data shows current_price $319.17 and change_today -0.03117 (-3.12%). Let me check: $329.44 (lastday_price) × (1 - 0.03117) = $329.44 × 0.96883 = $319.17. So the position is using $319.17 as the current price.

But the daily bar shows close $318.165. There might be a slight discrepancy. The position's current_price might include some after-hours adjustment or be calculated differently.

Let me use the daily bar close prices for the market close analysis, and note the position's current price.

Market Close Prices (daily bar close):

• FDX: $318.165 (close), Open $327.58, High $327.58, Low $316.19, VWAP $322.12, prev close $329.47 → -3.42%
• SPY: $729.35 (close), Open $728.875, High $736.50, Low $716.58, VWAP $732.80, prev close $733.33 → -0.54%
• QQQ: $705.62 (close), Open $707.12, High $715.555, Low $702.945, VWAP $710.35, prev close $716.315 → -1.49%
• SMH: $609.46 (close), Open $616.79, High $621.455, Low $609.29, VWAP $614.11, prev close $636.42 → -4.24%
• NVDA: $191.97 (close), Open $193.11, High $195.55, Low $191.24, VWAP $193.72, prev close $195.89 → -2.00%
• MU: $1,123.835 (close), Open $1,138.80, High $1,198.54, Low $1,121.51, VWAP $1,159.74, prev close $1,215.46 → -7.54%
• QCOM: $188.615 (close), Open $201.70, High $208.785, Low $186.315, VWAP $196.01, prev close $205.01 → -8.00%
• AAPL: $281.31 (close), Open $275.14, High $285.95, Low $274.25, VWAP $279.75, prev close $275.21 → +2.22%

Wait, AAPL's high was $285.95? That's much higher than the $281.80 we saw at 3 PM. And the close is $281.31. So AAPL peaked at $285.95 and closed at $281.31.

And FDX's low was $316.19! That's much lower than the $321.50 low we saw at 3 PM. FDX crashed in the last hour! From $323.36 at 3 PM to $318.165 at close — that's a $5.20 drop in the last hour!

This is the OPPOSITE of yesterday when FDX rallied $4.82 in the last hour. Today FDX CRASHED $5.20 in the last hour.

Let me look at the portfolio history to see what happened:

• 3:00 PM (1782500400): $97,702.09, P&L -$183.60
• 3:15 PM (1782501300): $97,663.09, P&L -$222.60
• 3:30 PM (1782502200): $97,629.19, P&L -$256.50
• 3:45 PM (1782503100): $97,582.69, P&L -$303.00
• 4:00 PM (1782504000): $97,545.19, P&L -$340.50

So the portfolio dropped from $97,702 at 3 PM to $97,545 at 4 PM — a $157 drop in the last hour! FDX crashed from $323.36 to $318.165, a $5.20 drop × 30 shares = $156 drop. That matches.

The account shows $97,577.59 which is higher than the portfolio history's $97,545.19 at 4 PM. This might be because the position's current_price ($319.17) is slightly different from the daily bar close ($318.165). The difference is $319.17 - $318.165 = $1.005 × 30 shares = $30.15, which roughly accounts for the $97,577.59 - $97,545.19 = $32.40 difference.

Let me use the account value of $97,577.59 as the current portfolio value (it's the most real-time), and note the daily bar close of $318.165 for FDX.

Actually, wait. The FDX latestQuote shows ap $333.24, bp $303.7 at 4:00 PM ET. This is a massive spread — $333.24 ask vs $303.70 bid. This suggests extremely illiquid after-hours trading. The bid of $303.70 is actually below our stop of $305! But this is just an after-hours quote with very low liquidity, not a real trade.

The FDX latestTrade was $318.165 at 3:59:54 PM ET — the last regular session trade. So the market close price is $318.165.

But the position shows current_price $319.17. This might be because Alpaca is using a different price source for the position valuation. Let me just use the account value and position data as reported.

Key changes from 3 PM to close:

• FDX CRASHED: $323.36 → $318.165 (down $5.20, -1.61% in the last hour!)

• Portfolio dropped: $97,702 → $97,545 (down $157 in the last hour!)

This is a DISASTER for FDX. The late-day rally we saw at 3 PM completely reversed. FDX crashed from $323.36 to $318.165 in the last hour, hitting a new low of $316.19. This is the OPPOSITE of yesterday's pattern.

The portfolio history shows the last hour was brutal:

• 3:00 PM: $97,702 (P&L -$184)
• 3:15 PM: $97,663 (P&L -$223)
• 3:30 PM: $97,629 (P&L -$257)
• 3:45 PM: $97,583 (P&L -$303)
• 4:00 PM: $97,545 (P&L -$341)

The portfolio lost $157 in the last hour, all from FDX's crash.

FDX Position at Close:

• Entry: $327.41
• Close: $318.165 (or $319.17 per position data)
• Loss: -$8.24/share (or -$8.24)
• Total unrealized P&L: -$247.08 (-2.52%)
• Stop at $305, distance: ($319.17 - $305) / $319.17 = 4.4%
• Or using close price: ($318.165 - $305) / $318.165 = 4.1%

The stop is getting closer! At 3 PM it was 5.7% away, now it's only 4.1-4.4% away.

After-hours news:

1. U.S. Central Command strikes against Iran (4:38 PM ET) — MAJOR news! U.S. conducted strikes against Iran as a response to an attack on a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz. This is a significant geopolitical escalation. This could impact oil prices and risk sentiment next week.

2. Zuckerberg urges Meta to explore working with Polymarket and Kalshi (4:38 PM ET) — Meta looking at prediction markets. Interesting but not directly relevant to our positions.

3. Apple's Vision Pro and Smart Glasses Chief leaving for OpenAI (3:26 PM ET) — Key Apple executive departing to OpenAI. Could be a minor negative for AAPL.

4. Microsoft Has Worst Month Since 2000, Micron Delivers Memorable Beat: This Week On Wall Street (4:00 PM ET) — Weekly recap. Microsoft worst June since 2000 on AI capex fears. Micron delivered record revenue and EPS. The AI capex squeeze is rewriting the trade.

5. Stock Of The Day: Is The Apple Sell-Off Over? (4:12 PM ET) — Apple shares are oversold and at support. Could set the stage for a move higher.

6. AbbVie receives FDA approval for SKYRIZI (4:54 PM ET) — Healthcare news. AbbVie gets FDA approval for children's psoriasis treatment.

7. Aehr Test Systems gets new 2X leveraged ETF (4:44 PM ET) — New leveraged ETF for semiconductor testing company. Shows continued interest in semis despite the selloff.

8. Cramer says investors want a strong balance sheet, not a Cavaliers deal (4:41 PM ET) — Cramer criticizing Blue Owl Capital.

The U.S. strikes against Iran are the BIGGEST news. This is a major geopolitical escalation that could:

• Spike oil prices (which had been crashing)
• Increase risk-off sentiment
• Impact FDX (shipping/logistics company) — could be negative if Strait of Hormuz tensions escalate
• Impact the broad market negatively

This is concerning for our FDX position. FDX is a shipping/logistics company, and tensions in the Strait of Hormuz could disrupt global shipping. However, FDX is primarily a domestic US shipping company, so the direct impact may be limited. But the broader market sentiment impact could be negative.

Let me also note that FDX's after-hours quote shows a very wide spread ($333.24 ask vs $303.70 bid), suggesting very illiquid after-hours trading. The bid of $303.70 is below our stop of $305, but this is just an after-hours quote, not a trade.

Let me now write the market close blog post. This is a significant update — FDX crashed in the last hour, the portfolio hit a new low, and there's a major geopolitical development with U.S. strikes against Iran.

Let me also fetch the weekly recap article for more context.

After-hours news:

1. U.S. Central Command strikes against Iran (4:38 PM ET) — MAJOR! U.S. conducted strikes against Iran as a response to an attack on a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz. This is a significant geopolitical escalation.

2. Weekly recap: Microsoft worst month since 2000, Micron memorable beat (4:00 PM ET) — Key points:

   • Oil tanked as Hormuz reopened. WTI crude wiped out war premium. Oil down 20%+ on month, worst since March 2020.
   • Saudi Arabia resumed loading tankers at Ras Tanura. Persian Gulf exports recovered to 75% of prewar levels.
   • Trump said Iran fired four "one-way attack drones" at ships transiting Strait of Hormuz, calling it "a foolish violation of our ceasefire agreement." Markets shrugged. Oil held onto losses.
   • Core PCE rose to 3.4% YoY in May, highest since October 2023. Headline PCE at 4.1%, hottest since April 2023.
   • New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh held rates at 3.50%-3.75% but signaled openness to hike. Markets price October hike as base case.
   • Microsoft down ~18% on the month — worst June since 2000. Oracle down 30% in June, erasing $300B+ in market value.
   • Apple raised prices across product line to offset surging memory costs.
   • MAGS ETF heading for worst month since inception, $1B+ in outflows.

3. Apple's Vision Pro and Smart Glasses Chief leaving for OpenAI (3:26 PM ET) — Key Apple executive departing to OpenAI.

4. Stock Of The Day: Is The Apple Sell-Off Over? (4:12 PM ET) — Apple shares oversold and at support. Could set stage for a move higher.

5. Zuckerberg urges Meta to explore working with Polymarket and Kalshi (4:38 PM ET) — Meta looking at prediction markets.

6. AbbVie receives FDA approval for SKYRIZI (4:54 PM ET) — Healthcare news.

7. Aehr Test Systems gets new 2X leveraged ETF (4:44 PM ET) — New leveraged ETF for semiconductor testing company.

8. Cramer says investors want a strong balance sheet, not a Cavaliers deal (4:41 PM ET) — Cramer criticizing Blue Owl Capital.

Now, the U.S. strikes against Iran are the BIGGEST news. This happened AFTER the market close (4:38 PM ET). The weekly recap article mentions that Trump said Iran fired drones at ships in the Strait of Hormuz, calling it "a foolish violation of our ceasefire agreement." And now the U.S. has conducted strikes against Iran in response.

This is a major geopolitical escalation that could:

• Spike oil prices (which had been crashing, down 20%+ on the month)
• Increase risk-off sentiment
• Impact FDX (shipping/logistics company) — tensions in the Strait of Hormuz could disrupt global shipping
• Impact the broad market negatively

The FDX after-hours quote shows a very wide spread ($333.24 ask vs $303.70 bid), suggesting very illiquid after-hours trading. The bid of $303.70 is below our stop of $305! But this is just an after-hours quote, not a trade. However, it's concerning that the bid is below our stop.

Wait, let me re-read the FDX quote data:

• latestQuote: ap $333.24, as 40, bp $303.70, bs 40 at 20:00:00 UTC (4:00 PM ET)

This is a very wide spread — $333.24 ask vs $303.70 bid. This is likely just the opening after-hours quote with very low liquidity. The $303.70 bid is concerning as it's below our $305 stop, but:

1. This is an after-hours quote, not a trade
2. The spread is extremely wide ($29.54), suggesting very low liquidity
3. Our stop order is a regular session stop (extended_hours: false), so it would only trigger during regular trading hours
4. The last regular session trade was $318.165

So our stop at $305 would only trigger if FDX trades at or below $305 during regular trading hours. The after-hours bid of $303.70 is not relevant for our stop order.

However, this is still concerning because:

1. If FDX opens below $305 on Monday, our stop would trigger immediately
2. The U.S. strikes against Iran could cause a gap-down on Monday
3. FDX is a shipping/logistics company, and Strait of Hormuz tensions could negatively impact it

Let me now write the market close blog post. This is a significant update — FDX crashed in the last hour, the portfolio hit a new low, and there's a major geopolitical development with U.S. strikes against Iran that could impact Monday's open.

Key summary for the week:

• Day 1 (Mon Jun 22): Opened 4 positions (NVDA, MU, FDX, RKLB). RKLB stopped out. Portfolio: $99,468 (-0.53%)
• Day 2 (Tue Jun 23): MU filled at $1,071.91. MU stopped out at $1,049.80. FDX earnings beat but stock cratered in AH. Portfolio: $97,499 (-2.50%)
• Day 3 (Wed Jun 24): NVDA approaching stop. Replaced stop-limit with plain stop at $195. MU earnings tonight. Portfolio: $98,027 (-1.97%)
• Day 4 (Thu Jun 25): NVDA stopped out at $194.92 (-8.00%). MU earnings blowout. FDX turned GREEN and closed at $329.47. Portfolio: $97,886 (-2.11%)
• Day 5 (Fri Jun 26): FDX opened GREEN but sold off all day. Crashed in last hour to close at $318.165 (-3.42%). Semis cratered. U.S. strikes Iran after close. Portfolio: $97,545 (-2.45%)

Wait, the account shows $97,577.59 but the portfolio history shows $97,545.19 at 4 PM. The difference is because the position's current_price ($319.17) is slightly different from the daily bar close ($318.165). Let me use the account value of $97,577.59 as the current portfolio value.

Actually, let me recalculate:

• Portfolio history at 4 PM: $97,545.19 (P&L -$340.50)
• Account value: $97,577.59
• Difference: $32.40

The position shows current_price $319.17 and market_value $9,575.10. If I use the daily bar close of $318.165:

• Market value at close: 30 × $318.165 = $9,544.95
• Portfolio at close: $88,002.49 + $9,544.95 = $97,547.44

This is close to the portfolio history value of $97,545.19. The small difference might be due to rounding or fees.

The account value of $97,577.59 uses the position's current_price of $319.17:

• Market value: 30 × $319.17 = $9,575.10
• Portfolio: $88,002.49 + $9,575.10 = $97,577.59

So the account is using $319.17 as the current price, which might be a weighted average or a different price source. Let me use the account value of $97,577.59 as the current portfolio value, and note the daily bar close of $318.165 for FDX.

For the blog post, I'll use:

• Portfolio Value: $97,577.59 (account value, most real-time)
• FDX Close: $318.165 (daily bar close, regular session)
• FDX Position Price: $319.17 (account's current price)
• Unrealized P&L: -$247.08 (from position data)

Let me also note the after-hours developments:

• FDX after-hours quote: bid $303.70, ask $333.24 (very wide spread, illiquid)
• U.S. strikes against Iran (4:38 PM ET) — major geopolitical escalation
• This could cause a gap-down on Monday

Now let me write the blog post. This is the market close post for Day 5 (Friday, June 26, 2026), covering the last hour crash and after-hours developments.
