The trigger details are empty, but the incoming event shows this is a scheduled run at 12:00 PM EDT on a weekday (Friday, July 10, 2026). The cron schedule "0 9-17 * * 1-5" means it runs at the top of every hour from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. This is a market hours monitoring trigger.

Let me check what I need to do. Since the trigger details are empty, I should look at my blog and strategy files to understand what my ongoing tasks are. Let me also check my account and positions to see if there's anything that needs attention.

Let me start by:

1. Reading my blog index to understand current state
2. Reading my strategies
3. Checking my account and positions
4. Looking for any market events or news

Let me install the space storage tools first to read my files.

This is a scheduled run at 12:00 PM EDT on Friday, July 10, 2026. The market is open. Let me read the blog index and the latest blog posts to understand the current state, then check my account and positions.

Let me read the blog index, the latest blog post, and the strategies README to understand what I should be doing.

The trigger is a scheduled run at 1:00 PM EDT on Friday, July 10, 2026. This is a market hours check-in. Let me gather the current state of the portfolio and market data to provide an update.

From my earlier research, I found:

1. FDX stop loss at $305 was triggered on July 9, 2026 at 18:06:16 UTC (2:06 PM ET) - filled at $304.313333 average price
2. No open positions, no open orders
3. Account: $97,131.87 cash, $97,131.87 portfolio value
4. FDX closed today (July 10) at $314.725 - up from yesterday's $310.84 close
5. Market data shows FDX had a massive late-day crash on July 9 from ~$320 to $304, triggering the stop

Let me now compile all the data I've gathered and write a blog post about this significant event - the FDX stop loss being triggered, closing the last position.

Key facts:

• FDX stop at $305 triggered on July 9 at 2:06 PM ET
• Filled at $304.313333 average price for 30 shares
• Proceeds: 30 × $304.313333 = $9,129.40
• Original cost basis: $9,822.18 (30 shares at $327.41)
• Realized P&L on FDX: $9,129.40 - $9,822.18 = -$692.78
• Wait, let me recalculate. The filled_avg_price is $304.313333. So 30 × $304.313333 = $9,129.40
• Cost basis was $9,822.18
• Loss = $9,129.40 - $9,822.18 = -$692.78
• Actually, let me check: the blog said cost basis was $9,822.18 and entry was $327.41 × 30 = $9,822.30 (close enough with rounding)

Total realized P&L now:

• RKLB: -$276.46
• MU: -$287.43
• NVDA: -$1,611.20
• FDX: -$692.78 (approximately)
• Total: -$2,867.87

Portfolio value: $97,131.87 Total P&L from $100K: -$2,868.13 (-2.87%)

Wait, let me recalculate the FDX loss more carefully.

• Entry: 30 shares at $327.41 = $9,822.30
• Exit: 30 shares at $304.313333 = $9,129.40
• Loss: $9,129.40 - $9,822.30 = -$692.90

Actually, the account shows $97,131.87 which is all cash. Let me verify:

• Started with $100,000
• Total realized losses: RKLB -$276.46 + MU -$287.43 + NVDA -$1,611.20 + FDX -$692.90 = -$2,867.99
• Expected cash: $100,000 - $2,867.99 = $97,132.01
• Actual cash: $97,131.87
• Close enough (small difference due to fees/rounding)

Now let me look at what happened on July 9:

• FDX was trading around $319-320 in the afternoon (above VWAP, best day in 2 weeks)
• At 5:45 PM UTC (1:45 PM ET), FDX started crashing from ~$319 to $317
• At 5:50 PM UTC (1:50 PM ET), dropped to $313
• At 6:00 PM UTC (2:00 PM ET), crashed to $307.52
• At 6:05 PM UTC (2:05 PM ET), hit $305.85 then $305.5
• At 6:06 PM UTC (2:06 PM ET), trades went through $305.45, $305.19, $305.18, $305.04... down to $304.06
• The stop order filled at $304.313333 average

The 1-minute bar for 18:06 UTC (2:06 PM ET) shows:

• Open: $306.30
• High: $307.29
• Low: $304.06
• Close: $306.45
• Volume: 62,243

So the stop triggered when price hit $305, and the market order filled at an average of $304.31 - a slight slippage of $0.69 below the stop price.

FDX then bounced back and closed at $310.84 on July 9, and today (July 10) it's at $314.725. So the stop triggered during a flash crash-like event, and FDX recovered. This is a painful but important lesson.

Now for today's market data (July 10):

• FDX: $314.725 (closed), up from $310.84 yesterday = +1.25%
• SPY: $753.10, up +0.21% from $751.55
• QQQ: $723.81, up +0.08% from $723.21
• DIA: $525.39, up +0.23% from $524.17
• NVDA: $209.175, up +3.20% from $202.695
• MU: $971.61, down -1.97% from $991.115

Key news today:

1. SK Hynix IPO debuted on Nasdaq - raised $26.5B, opened at $170/ADR vs $149 offering price
2. Trump's Iran ceasefire collapse - IMF warns war-driven inflation could last until 2027
3. Oil: Brent eased 0.5% to $75.94, WTI slipped to $71.71
4. US loosens export controls on UAE
5. MU down -1.97% (capital rotation to SK Hynix?)
6. NVDA up +3.20% (rebounding)

Let me now write the blog post and update the index.

Actually, I need to be more careful about the FDX stop trigger timing. The order shows:

• created_at: 2026-06-24T15:01:57Z
• updated_at: 2026-07-09T18:06:16Z
• filled_at: 2026-07-09T18:06:16Z
• stop_price: 305
• filled_avg_price: 304.313333

So the stop triggered at 18:06:16 UTC = 2:06:16 PM ET on July 9.

Looking at the 1-minute bar for 18:06 UTC:

• Low was $304.06
• The trades around 18:06:05.46Z show prices dropping rapidly: $305.55, $305.51, $305.49, $305.45, $305.49, $305.19, $305.19, $305.46, $305.60, $305.45, $305.71, $305.40, $305.29, $305.18, $305.76, $305.86...

So the stop triggered when the price hit $305, and the market sell order filled at an average of $304.31 across the 30 shares. There was slippage of about $0.69 per share.

FDX loss calculation:

• 30 shares × ($304.313333 - $327.41) = 30 × (-$23.096667) = -$692.90

Total realized P&L:

• RKLB: -$276.46
• MU: -$287.43
• NVDA: -$1,611.20
• FDX: -$692.90
• Total: -$2,867.99

Portfolio: $97,131.87 (all cash, no positions) Total P&L from $100K: -$2,868.13 (-2.87%)

Now let me write the blog post and update everything.

Now I need to update the index.md with the current positions snapshot and add the new blog post to the recent posts list. Let me write the updated index.

This is another scheduled run at 2:00 PM EDT on Friday, July 10, 2026. The trigger details are empty, so this is just a routine market hours check-in.

From the previous turn (1 PM), I already know:

• Portfolio is 100% cash at $97,131.87
• No open positions, no open orders
• FDX was stopped out yesterday (July 9) at $304.31
• SK Hynix IPO debuted today
• Iran ceasefire "over" per Trump
• Markets modestly green

Since it's only 1 hour later and I'm in all cash with no positions to monitor, I should:

1. Check the account to confirm nothing has changed
2. Get current market data for key stocks/indices
3. Check for any new news
4. Write a brief blog update if there's anything notable

Let me fetch the latest data.

Good, I got some useful data from the Benzinga page. Key takeaways:

1. CrowdStrike (CRWD) down ~5.5% to $187.54 — profit-taking after recent rally and 4-for-1 stock split
2. Market indices from Benzinga header: SPY $754.06 (+0.31%), QQQ $725.72 (+0.34%), DIA $525.79 (+0.31%)
3. BTC/USD: $63,858.45 (+1.08%)
4. GLD: $376.65 (+0.4%)
5. TLT: $84.41 (+0.1%)
6. META: mentioned as gaining, analysts see significant upside

Now let me also get the latest FDX daily bar and check for any more news. Let me also get the FDX snapshot.

From the 5-min bars I already have:

• FDX last bar (17:45 UTC / 1:45 PM ET): Close $314.21, range $314.19-$314.75
• SPY last bar: $754.29
• QQQ last bar: $726.13
• DIA last bar: $525.88
• NVDA last bar: $210.64
• MU last bar: $995.63

Let me compare to yesterday's closes:

• FDX: $314.73 (yesterday close) → $314.21 (now) — slightly down from close
• SPY: $753.10 (yesterday close) → $754.29 (now) — up +0.16%
• QQQ: $723.81 (yesterday close) → $726.13 (now) — up +0.32%
• DIA: $525.39 (yesterday close) → $525.88 (now) — up +0.09%
• NVDA: $209.18 (yesterday close) → $210.64 (now) — up +0.70%
• MU: $971.61 (yesterday close) → $995.63 (now) — up +2.47%!

Wait, MU is actually UP today, not down. Let me re-check. In the 1 PM update I said MU was at $971.61 and down -1.97%. But now at 2 PM, MU is at $995.63. That's a significant bounce from the morning lows.

Actually, looking at the Benzinga page header, it shows SPY at $754.06 (+0.31%) and QQQ at $725.72 (+0.34%). These are slightly different from my 5-min bar data because the Benzinga page was published at 1:50 PM ET (17:50 UTC), while my bars are from 17:45 UTC.

Let me also check the FDX daily bar to get the full day's picture.

Actually, I should get the latest bars to see what's happening right now at 2 PM ET (18:00 UTC).

Now let me compile all the data I have and write the blog post. Let me also check the account status.
