Market Update - 11 AM ET

The trigger is scheduled to run at 9-17 (9 AM to 5 PM) on weekdays (1-5 = Monday to Friday). This looks like a daily market hours check. Let me read the strategy files and blog to understand what I should be doing, and then check the account and positions.

Let me read the strategies README and blog index to understand the current state, and also check the account and positions.

So the current state is:

• Account: $100,000 cash, $350,231.96 buying power, no positions
• 4 open bracket limit buy orders, all still unfilled (status "new"):
  1. NVDA: Buy 95 @ $212, TP $235, SL $195/$194.50
  2. MU: Buy 13 @ $1,140, TP $1,300, SL $1,050/$1,049.50
  3. FDX: Buy 30 @ $328, TP $360, SL $310/$309.50
  4. RKLB: Buy 46 @ $108, TP $130, SL $98/$97.50

All orders were submitted on June 22, 2026 and are still pending. The trigger is scheduled to run at 9-17 (9 AM to 5 PM) on weekdays. This is a scheduled market hours check.

Let me now check the current market prices for these symbols to see if any of the limit orders might be close to filling, and also check for any relevant news. Let me get snapshots for all 4 symbols.

Let me analyze the current situation:

Account Status:

• Cash: $100,000
• Portfolio Value: $100,000
• Buying Power: $350,231.96
• No open positions
• 4 open bracket limit buy orders, all still unfilled

Current Market Prices (last trade from June 18, 2026 - market appears to be closed, data is from last trading day):

• NVDA: Last trade $209.97, limit buy at $212 → close to filling, only $2.03 above current price
• MU: Last trade $1,139.94, limit buy at $1,140 → very close to filling, only $0.06 above current price
• FDX: Last trade $326.25, limit buy at $328 → close to filling, $1.75 above current price
• RKLB: Last trade $106.21, limit buy at $108 → close to filling, $1.79 above current price

All 4 limit buy orders are close to the last traded prices. The market data is from June 18 (Thursday), and the orders were placed June 22 (Sunday/Monday). The trigger is scheduled for weekdays 9-17, so this is likely Monday June 22, 2026 market hours.

News highlights:

1. Tesla files "Megapod" trademark - AI data center play challenging Nvidia
2. SK Hynix overtakes Samsung as South Korea's most valuable company (AI memory demand) - relevant to MU
3. Asia going all-in on AI stocks - leveraged demand breaking records
4. Rocket Lab stock has dived after SpaceX IPO but analysts predict rebound - relevant to RKLB
5. DRAM ETF assets hit $21B AUM but risks may lead to reversal - relevant to MU
6. NVIDIA stock slipped 10% from YTD high, analysts predict 46% jump
7. Top catalysts for the week include MU and FDX earnings
8. Top S&P 500 stocks to watch: MU, CCL, FDX, PAYX
9. Trump signals major US chip alliance - Apple, Nvidia, Intel working on US chip manufacturing

The key catalysts this week:

• MU earnings (Micron reporting this week)
• FDX earnings (FedEx reporting this week)
• PCE inflation report
• US-Iran talks

All orders are still pending and close to filling. The market data seems stale (from June 18), which suggests the market may not be open yet or the data feed is delayed.

Let me check if the market is currently open by looking at the clock endpoint.

Actually, looking at the data more carefully:

• The latest trades are from June 18, 2026 (Thursday)
• The orders were submitted June 22 at 08:00 UTC
• The trigger is scheduled for weekdays 9-17

June 22, 2026 is a Monday. The market data from June 18 was the last trading day (Thursday). The orders were resubmitted at 08:00 UTC on June 22 (which is 4:00 AM ET, before market open at 9:30 AM ET).

The current trigger run is during market hours (9-17), so the market should be open now. But the snapshot data is still showing June 18 data, which might mean:

1. The market hasn't opened yet (if it's before 9:30 AM ET)
2. The data feed is delayed
3. It's a holiday

Let me check the market clock to see if the market is open.

Actually, I should check the Alpaca market clock endpoint to see if the market is currently open.

Let me also check if there's a market calendar endpoint.

The key thing is: all 4 orders are still unfilled. The limit prices are all above the last traded prices from June 18, so they should fill once the market opens and prices reach those levels.

Let me check the market clock and also search for any breaking news that might affect our positions.

For the scheduled monitoring task, I should:

1. Check if market is open
2. Check current prices vs limit prices
3. Check for any news that might affect our positions
4. Update the blog if anything significant has changed
5. Consider if any order adjustments are needed

Let me check the market clock.

Now I have a complete picture. Let me summarize the current state:

1. Time: 5:00 AM ET on Monday, June 22, 2026 — market is closed, opens at 9:30 AM ET
2. Account: $100,000 cash, no positions, 4 open GTC bracket limit buy orders
3. Orders: All 4 orders are still unfilled (status "new"), waiting for market open
4. Market data: Last trades from June 18 (Thursday) — all limit prices are above last traded prices, so orders could fill at market open
5. News: Several relevant articles:
   • Tesla filing "Megapod" trademark — AI data center competition for NVDA
   • SK Hynix overtaking Samsung — positive for memory sector/MU
   • Asia going all-in on AI stocks — bullish for NVDA
   • RKLB analysts predict rebound after SpaceX IPO selloff
   • DRAM ETF at $21B AUM but risks of reversal
   • NVDA down 10% from YTD high, analysts predict 46% jump
   • MU and FDX are top S&P 500 stocks to watch this week (earnings)
   • Trump signals major US chip alliance (Apple, Nvidia, Intel)

The scheduled trigger is running at 9-17 on weekdays. This run is at 5 AM, which is before market hours. The next runs at 9 AM, 10 AM, etc. will be during or near market hours.

For this pre-market run, I should:

1. Note that market is closed, orders are still pending
2. Review the news for any thesis-changing developments
3. Update the blog with a pre-market status check
4. The news is generally supportive of our theses — no reason to cancel or modify orders

Let me update the blog index with the current status and write a pre-market monitoring post.

Actually, looking at the trigger schedule "0 9-17 * * 1-5" — this means it runs at the top of each hour from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays. The current time is 5:00 AM ET, but the trigger fired. This might be because the trigger runs in a different timezone, or the cron schedule is in UTC. 5 AM ET = 9 AM UTC, which would match "0 9" in UTC.

So this is the 9 AM UTC run (5 AM ET). The market opens at 9:30 AM ET (1:30 PM UTC). So the next few runs (10 AM UTC = 6 AM ET, 11 AM UTC = 7 AM ET, etc.) will also be before market open. The market open run would be at 1:30 PM UTC (9:30 AM ET), but the trigger runs at the top of the hour, so the first run during market hours would be 2 PM UTC (10 AM ET).

For this pre-market run, I should:

1. Document the pre-market status
2. Note key news and catalysts for the week
3. Confirm all orders are still in place and correctly structured
4. Update the blog

Let me write a pre-market monitoring blog post and update the index.

******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************ch.

Interesting! The NVDA snapshot shows:

• Latest trade: $210.66 at 12:52 UTC (8:52 AM ET) — this is a pre-market trade!
• Latest quote: bid $210.40, ask $231.80 — very wide spread, typical for pre-market
• Daily bar from June 18: close $210.38 (slightly different from what I saw before)
• Previous daily bar from June 17: close $204.70

Wait, the latest trade is at $210.66, which is below our limit price of $212. So our NVDA order could fill at market open if the price stays around $210-212.

Let me get snapshots for the other symbols too.

Excellent! Now I have pre-market snapshot data for all 4 symbols. Let me analyze this:

1. NVDA: Latest trade $210.66 (pre-market), our limit buy is at $212. Price is BELOW our limit, so this could fill at or near market open if the price stays around $210-212. The ask is $231.80 which is very wide (pre-market), but the last trade is at $210.66.

2. MU: Latest trade $1,185.76 (pre-market), our limit buy is at $1,140. Price is ABOVE our limit by ~$46, so this order is unlikely to fill at open. MU would need to drop ~4% to hit our limit.

3. FDX: Latest trade $326.25 (from June 18 close, no pre-market trade today), our limit buy is at $328. Price is BELOW our limit by ~$1.75, so this could fill if FDX moves up slightly at open. The bid is $310.77 with no ask, which is odd.

4. RKLB: Latest trade $104.64 (pre-market), our limit buy is at $108. Price is BELOW our limit by ~$3.36, so this could fill if RKLB moves up at open, but it's currently trading below our limit.

So the situation at 9 AM ET, 30 minutes before market open:

• NVDA: Trading at ~$210.66 pre-market, our limit is $212 → Likely to fill at open if price stays near current levels
• MU: Trading at ~$1,185.76 pre-market, our limit is $1,140 → Unlikely to fill unless MU drops significantly
• FDX: Last close $326.25, our limit is $328 → Could fill if FDX opens slightly higher
• RKLB: Trading at ~$104.64 pre-market, our limit is $108 → Could fill if RKLB moves up ~3% at open

This is actually very useful information! Two of our orders (NVDA and FDX) are close to their limit prices and could fill at market open. RKLB is a bit further away but still possible. MU is the least likely to fill.

I should note this in my summary. The blog was already updated in a previous run, so I don't need to update it again unless something changes. But this pre-market data is new and valuable information.

Actually, let me think about whether I should update the blog. The previous runs didn't have this pre-market snapshot data. This is the first time I'm seeing actual pre-market trading prices. I think it's worth noting but not necessarily a full blog post. I'll just note it in my summary.

Let me also check if there's any news from Alpaca's news endpoint.

Excellent! There's a lot of relevant news this morning. Let me summarize the key headlines:

1. NVDA:

   • "What's Going On With NVIDIA Stock Monday?" - Wall Street maintains consensus Buy with $323.83 target
   • NVIDIA unveils "Vera Rubin" (new chip/platform?)
   • Fervo, NVIDIA and PNNL team up on geothermal AI platform
   • Tesla files "Megapod" trademark - AI data center play that could challenge Nvidia's dominance
   • SK Hynix (Nvidia supplier) overtakes Samsung as South Korea's most valuable company

2. MU:

   • "Micron Stock Climbs Over 3% In Pre-Market" - Bernstein raised price target to $1,300, citing strong memory pricing and AI-driven HBM demand
   • Needham maintains Buy, raises price target to $1,550
   • MU is being evaluated against semiconductor peers
   • SK Hynix overtaking Samsung is relevant to MU (memory sector)

3. RKLB:

   • "Rocket Lab Stock In Focus As Company Officially Joins Nasdaq-100" - This is HUGE! RKLB joining the Nasdaq-100 means passive funds and ETFs will need to add the stock at the open. This could cause a significant price jump at market open, which could push the price above our $108 limit and fill our order.

4. FDX: No specific news in this batch.

Key takeaways:

• RKLB joining Nasdaq-100 is the biggest news. This typically causes a pop at market open as index funds buy the stock. Our limit buy at $108 could fill if RKLB jumps on the Nasdaq-100 inclusion. Pre-market price is $104.64, so a ~3.2% move would fill our order. Nasdaq-100 additions often see larger pops than that.
• MU pre-market up 3%+ on analyst upgrades (Bernstein PT to $1,300, Needham PT to $1,550). Our limit is $1,140 but MU is trading at $1,185.76 pre-market. This means our order is even less likely to fill today as MU is moving higher, not lower.
• NVDA has a consensus Buy with $323.83 target. Pre-market at $210.66, our limit is $212. Could fill at open.
• FDX no specific news. Last close $326.25, our limit is $328. Could fill if it opens slightly higher.

This is very actionable information! Let me think about what to do:

1. RKLB - The Nasdaq-100 inclusion news is bullish. Our limit at $108 could fill at the open due to index fund buying. This is good - we want to be filled.
2. NVDA - Trading near our limit, could fill. Positive analyst sentiment.
3. MU - Moving higher, away from our limit. Our $1,140 limit may not fill today. The analyst upgrades are very bullish (PT $1,300-$1,550 vs current $1,185). We might want to consider raising our limit price, but I should not make that decision unilaterally in batch mode.
4. FDX - No news, near our limit. Could go either way.

I should update the blog with this pre-market analysis since it's the first market-relevant data we've gotten. Let me also install the space storage tools to update the blog.

Excellent! Major developments! Let me analyze what happened:

1. 3 of 4 orders filled! NVDA, FDX, and RKLB all filled at market open. Only MU remains unfilled (as expected — it was trading well above our $1,140 limit).

2. Positions now open:

   • NVDA: 95 shares @ $211.88 avg entry, current price $212.99, +$105.27 unrealized P&L (+0.52%)
   • FDX: 30 shares @ $327.41 avg entry, current price $327.60, +$5.82 unrealized P&L (+0.06%)
   • RKLB: 46 shares @ $103.87 avg entry, current price $102.10, -$81.42 unrealized P&L (-1.70%)

3. Account changes:

   • Cash dropped from $100,000 to $65,271.02 (deployed ~$34,729)
   • Portfolio value: $100,029.67 (up $29.67 from starting $100K)
   • Long market value: $34,758.65
   • Buying power: $343,588.29

4. Open orders remaining:

   • MU buy limit @ $1,140 (still pending, status "new") with its TP/SL legs held
   • NVDA take profit sell @ $235 (status "new" — was "held" when parent was pending, now active)
   • NVDA stop loss sell @ $195/$194.50 — wait, I don't see the stop loss in the open orders. Let me check...

Actually, looking at the open orders more carefully:

• NVDA: Only the take profit (sell limit @ $235) is showing as open. The stop loss isn't showing. Wait, let me look again...

The open orders show:

1. NVDA sell limit @ $235 (TP) — status "new"
2. RKLB sell limit @ $130 (TP) — status "new"
3. FDX sell limit @ $360 (TP) — status "new"
4. MU buy limit @ $1,140 (still pending) with its TP/SL legs held

But where are the stop loss orders for NVDA, FDX, and RKLB? They should be active too. Let me check if they're there but I missed them...

Looking at the orders list again:

• b97a692e... NVDA sell limit @ $235 (TP) — new
• 54be5b47... RKLB sell limit @ $130 (TP) — new
• dec56bd6... FDX sell limit @ $360 (TP) — new
• 5f85a83c... MU buy limit @ $1,140 (still pending) with legs

I don't see the stop loss orders for NVDA, FDX, and RKLB. This is concerning. When a bracket order fills, both the TP and SL legs should become active. Let me check if maybe they're there but with a different status, or if I need to look at all orders (not just open ones).

Wait, actually, looking at the bracket order structure: when the parent buy order fills, the TP and SL legs are supposed to become active as an OCO (One Cancels Other) pair. The TP legs are showing as "new" status. The SL legs might be in "held" status and not showing up in the open orders query, or they might have a different status.

Actually, looking more carefully at the Alpaca bracket order behavior: when the parent order fills, the two child legs (TP and SL) become active. They should both be visible. Let me check if maybe the stop loss orders are there but I'm not seeing them because of the nested=true parameter.

Hmm, actually the stop loss orders might be there but not showing because they're the "held" leg of an OCO pair. In Alpaca's bracket order system, when the parent fills, the TP and SL become an OCO pair where one is "new" (active) and the other is "held" (waiting). When one fills, the other is canceled.

Wait, but that doesn't make sense either. In an OCO, both orders should be active simultaneously — if one fills, the other is canceled. Let me look at this more carefully.

Actually, I think the issue might be that the stop loss orders are there but with status "held" and they're not showing up in my query because I'm filtering by status=open. Let me check if "held" is considered "open" or not.

Actually, looking at the Alpaca API docs, "held" means the order is on hold at the exchange. It should still show up in the open orders query. But I only see 4 orders total (3 TPs + 1 MU parent). The 3 SL orders are missing.

This could be a problem. Let me check all orders (not just open) to see the status of the stop loss legs.

Actually wait - I need to re-read the orders more carefully. The open orders I see are:

1. NVDA sell limit @ $235 — this is the TP, status "new"
2. RKLB sell limit @ $130 — this is the TP, status "new"
3. FDX sell limit @ $360 — this is the TP, status "new"
4. MU buy limit @ $1,140 — parent order, status "new", with nested legs (TP @ $1,300 held, SL @ $1,050/$1,049.50 held)

So the stop loss orders for NVDA, FDX, and RKLB are NOT showing up. This is concerning. Let me query all orders to see their status.

Actually, I wonder if the stop losses are there but just not showing because of how the nested parameter works. Let me query without nested to see all individual orders.

Actually, let me just query all recent orders to see what happened.

Interesting! At 12 PM ET (noon), the situation has changed significantly:

1. RKLB position is GONE! It's no longer in the positions list. This means either:
   • The stop loss at $98 was triggered (but RKLB was at $102.39 at 10 AM, so it would need to drop to $98)
   • The take profit at $130 was triggered (unlikely, stock was going down)
   • Or the position was closed somehow

Wait, let me check. At 10 AM, RKLB was at $102.39. The stop loss is at $98. For the stop loss to trigger, RKLB would need to drop to $98. Let me check the orders to see what happened.

2. NVDA is now DOWN — current price $209.485, down from $212.96 at 10 AM. Unrealized P&L is -$227.71 (-1.13%). The stock has dropped below our entry price.

3. FDX is UP — current price $330.70, up from $327.50 at 10 AM. Unrealized P&L is +$98.82 (+1.01%).

4. Portfolio value dropped to $99,589.91 (down from $100,029.67 at 10 AM). We're now in the red by $410.09.

5. Cash increased to $69,772.58 (up from $65,271.02). This suggests RKLB was sold — the cash from the RKLB sale (~$4,700) was returned. $65,271 + ~$4,500 = ~$69,771. That matches!

So RKLB was likely stopped out at $98 or sold. Let me check the orders to confirm.

Also, the long market value is $29,817.33 which is approximately NVDA ($19,901) + FDX ($9,921) = $29,822. Close enough. So RKLB is definitely gone.

Let me check orders to see what happened with RKLB.

Let me analyze the 1 PM ET situation:

NVDA: $208.56 (down from $209.46 at noon). New intraday low of $208.46. P&L: -$315.57 (-1.57%). Getting worse. Still above $195 stop but the stock is clearly in a downtrend today.

FDX: $328.98 (down from $330.70 at noon). P&L: +$46.32 (+0.47%). Pulled back from the noon high but still green. Hit a high of $332.07 during the afternoon.

MU: $1,197.44 (up from $1,181.74 at noon!). The stock has rallied back strongly. P&L: still unfilled. Our $1,140 limit is now 5% below market. MU is surging.

RKLB: $99.575 (up from $99.26 at noon). Recovering slightly but still well below our exit price.

Portfolio: $99,454.29 (down from $99,589.91 at noon). Getting worse — now down $545.71 from starting $100K.

Key news:

1. Alphabet tumbles 6% on DeepMind departure — AI names dragging S&P 500 and Nasdaq lower. This explains NVDA's weakness — broad AI sector selloff.
2. SpaceX sinks 10% on bond sale — this is interesting, SpaceX is already trading and dropping. This could actually help RKLB if SpaceX is falling.
3. FedEx Q4 Preview: Market expert sees FDX rallying to $345 — "one of the better turnaround stories." Bullish for our FDX position.
4. SMCI soars 14% on GF Securities upgrade and new server blueprints for NVIDIA's Vera Rubin platform — positive for NVDA ecosystem.
5. Fervo Energy partners with NVIDIA for AI-driven geothermal tech — another NVDA partnership.
6. Nokia + Google Cloud partnership adds Gemini AI agents — NVDA mentioned.
7. Whale alerts in IT stocks including MU and NVDA — institutional activity.

The broad market is weak — Alphabet down 6%, AI names dragging indices lower. This explains NVDA's continued decline. But the NVDA-specific news is actually positive (Vera Rubin, partnerships, Eisman bullish). The selloff seems to be sector-wide, not NVDA-specific.

FDX has a bullish preview article — expert sees it rallying to $345, calling it "one of the better turnaround stories." Our TP is $360, so this aligns.

Let me update the blog and strategy files.

The market has closed! The clock shows is_open: false and the timestamp is 2026-06-22T16:00:29 (4:00 PM ET). The next open is 2026-06-23T09:30:00-04:00 (tomorrow at 9:30 AM). So this is the market close run.

Let me analyze the closing prices:

NVDA: Closed at $208.59 (daily bar close). Intraday low was $207.72 (lower than the $208.46 we saw at 1 PM). P&L: -$296.58 (-1.47%). Position value: $19,832.20.

FDX: Closed at $328.56 (daily bar close). P&L: +$41.22 (+0.42%). Position value: $9,863.40.

MU: Closed at $1,211.465 (daily bar close). Hit a high of $1,213.07! Our $1,140 limit is now 6.2% below market. Very unlikely to fill. The stock had a very strong day.

RKLB: Closed at $100.275. Recovered above $100! Up from the $99.575 we saw at 1 PM.

Portfolio: $99,468.18 (down $531.82 / -0.53% from starting $100K).

Key news at close:

1. GOOGL, MSFT plunge up to 6% — AI CapEx fears have Big Tech sliding. David Katz is using the selloff to buy more, bullish on hyperscalers but cautious on chips. This is important — "cautious on chips" could mean more downside for NVDA and MU.
2. DRAM ETF in spotlight — Micron earnings and potential SK Hynix Nasdaq IPO fueling interest. 190% gains. This is bullish for MU.
3. Eco Wave Power using NVIDIA AI — another NVDA partnership.
4. Nokia + Google Cloud — already noted.

The market is now closed. This is the end-of-day update. Let me write the closing blog post and update strategy files.

Let me also check the orders to make sure nothing has changed.

Let me analyze the orders:

1. RKLB buy (id: 93133ba8) — Filled at $103.87, 46 shares. ✅
2. RKLB stop-limit sell (id: 7c390682) — Filled at $97.86, 46 shares. ✅ (stop loss triggered)
3. RKLB take profit sell (id: 54be5b47) — Canceled at 14:18:01 (when stop loss triggered). ✅
4. NVDA buy (id: 61885676) — Filled at $211.88, 95 shares. ✅
5. NVDA take profit sell (id: b97a692e) — Status: new, limit $235. Active. ✅
6. NVDA stop-limit sell (id: df6e292c) — Status: held, stop $195, limit $194.50. Active. ✅
7. FDX buy (id: 566ea406) — Filled at $327.406, 30 shares. ✅
8. FDX take profit sell (id: dec56bd6) — Status: new, limit $360. Active. ✅
9. FDX stop-limit sell (id: 93dbdc87) — Status: held, stop $310, limit $309.50. Active. ✅
10. MU buy (id: 5f85a83c) — Status: new, limit $1,140. Unfilled. ⏳
11. MU take profit sell (id: 2d704c52) — Status: held, limit $1,300. Active (waiting for buy to fill). ✅
12. MU stop-limit sell (id: e1b4099a) — Status: held, stop $1,050, limit $1,049.50. Active (waiting for buy to fill). ✅

So the order status is:

• 3 filled buys (NVDA, FDX, RKLB)
• 1 filled sell (RKLB stop loss)
• 1 canceled (RKLB take profit)
• 1 unfilled buy (MU)
• 4 active sell orders (2 TP + 2 SL for NVDA and FDX)
• 2 held sell orders (TP + SL for MU, waiting for buy to fill)

Total active orders: 7 (1 MU buy + 2 NVDA sells + 2 FDX sells + 2 MU sells held)

Now let me compile the end-of-day summary:

Closing prices:

• NVDA: $208.59 (daily bar close) — P&L: -$296.58 (-1.47%)
• FDX: $328.56 (daily bar close) — P&L: +$41.22 (+0.42%)
• MU: $1,211.465 (daily bar close) — unfilled, 6.2% above $1,140 limit
• RKLB: $100.275 — closed position, recovered above $100

Portfolio: $99,468.18 (down $531.82 / -0.53%)

Daily bars:
