The trigger details are empty - no name, description, or meta. This is a scheduled trigger that runs every hour from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays (Monday-Friday). Since there are no specific instructions in the trigger details, I should look at what my core mission is as a paper trading assistant.

Let me check if there are any strategy files or blog files that might give me context on what I should be doing. Let me also check my current positions and account status.

Let me install the space storage tools and space skills tools first, then check for any existing strategies or instructions.

I can see there's a lot of history here. The trigger is a scheduled run at 10 AM EDT on September 3, 2026 (Thursday). Let me read the strategy README and the blog index to understand the current state, and also check the account and positions.

Let me read the strategies README, the blog index, and the most recent blog posts to understand what's going on. I should also check the account and positions via the Alpaca API.

Let me read the relevant skill files and the strategy/blog files, and also fetch account and position data.

Now I have a good understanding of the current state. Let me summarize:

1. It's September 3, 2026 (Thursday), 10 AM EDT - Day 56
2. The portfolio is 100% cash at $95,580.90
3. 4 of 6 NVDA re-entry criteria are GREEN, with criterion 2 (SOXX above $500) still failing at $499.21
4. Yesterday (Sept 2) was a big earnings day: Dell blowout, PANW crashed, MDB crashed, GTLB surged
5. AVGO + CRM + SNOW reported earnings last night (after close on Sept 2)
6. Today's calendar: ISM Services PMI, Tesla Cybercab launch in Austin, CIEN + LULU earnings
7. Friday Sept 4: NFP (consensus 45K)
8. Monday Sept 7: Labor Day (markets closed)

I need to:

1. Check the account status via Alpaca API
2. Check current positions
3. Get market data for key symbols (NVDA, SOXX, SPY, QQQ, etc.)
4. Search for news about AVGO, CRM, SNOW earnings results from last night
5. Check ISM Services PMI data
6. Write a blog post update
7. Update the blog index and strategy README

Let me read the skill files for account management, position management, and market data first, then make the API calls.

Now I have all the market data. Let me analyze the key numbers:

Power Stocks:

• CEG: $291.54 (prev close $290.08, +0.50%)
• VST: $145.725 (prev close $143.41, +1.61%)

Key observations:

1. AVGO CRASHED -6.50% — This is a major event. Broadcom reported earnings last night and the market is selling off. This is likely because they didn't raise their FY27 AI target above $100B (as noted in the strategy, "Last quarter, NOT raising it triggered 12.6% selloff despite beat"). This is pushing SOXX further below $500.

2. SOXX at $492.56 — DOWN from $501.495 yesterday. Now $7.44 below $500. Criterion 2 FAILS even more. And $37.44 below $530 (criterion 4 still fails).

3. CRM SURGED +3.72% — Salesforce beat earnings! This is positive for enterprise software.

4. SNOW SURGED +22% — Snowflake had a massive beat! This is huge for the data/AI ecosystem.

5. NVDA +1.71% — Still decoupling from SOXX, continuing its relative strength.

6. META +3.47% — Surging above $600.

7. DELL +1.97% — Continuing yesterday's AI server blowout rally, now above $500!

8. TSLA +3.73% — Cybercab launch today in Austin.

9. MSFT +2.88% — Surging, likely on AI momentum.

10. SPCX +4.86% — SpaceX surging.

11. Oil still above $90 (USO $142.245, +0.77%).

12. Gold surging (GLD $409.385, +1.65%, GDX +2.04%).

13. VIX easing (VIXY -0.23%).

14. Small caps flat (IWM +0.14%).

15. Dow leading (DIA +0.80%).

So the key story today is:

• AVGO CRASHED on earnings (-6.50%), dragging SOXX further below $500 to $492.56
• CRM and SNOW both BEAT earnings and surged
• NVDA continues to decouple from the semiconductor sector, up +1.71%
• Mega-cap tech is rallying (META +3.47%, MSFT +2.88%, GOOG +1.49%, AMZN +1.02%)
• TSLA surging on Cybercab launch
• SPCX surging +4.86%
• Gold continues to rally
• Oil still elevated above $90

The AVGO crash is significant because:

1. It pushes SOXX further below $500 (now $492.56, was $501.495)
2. It means criterion 2 (SOXX above $500) is even further from being met
3. It suggests the semiconductor sector's problems are deeper than just NVDA
4. The strategy noted that if AVGO didn't raise FY27 AI target above $100B, it would trigger a selloff

Let me search for news about AVGO earnings and the ISM Services PMI.

I've gathered a lot of information. Let me now check the existing blog and strategy files to understand the current state, then write the blog post.

Now let me write the blog post. This is Day 56.

Key criteria update:

• Criterion 1 (NVDA above $200): ✅ GREEN at $227.63
• Criterion 2 (SOXX above $500): ❌ FAILS at $491.31 — CRASHED below $500! Down from $501.495 yesterday!
• Criterion 3 (VIX below 20): ✅ GREEN — VIXY $17.20, VIX ~15
• Criterion 4 (SOXX above $530 for 3+ days): ❌ FAILS — $38.69 below $530
• Criterion 5 (NVDA earnings catalyst resolved): ✅ GREEN
• Criterion 6 (No major macro crisis): ⚠️ YELLOW — oil rising (USO $142.93, WTI ~$92, Brent $95+), but Waller dovish (yields falling), VIX easing. Mixed.

So 4 of 6 criteria GREEN. Criterion 2 newly FAILED again (SOXX crashed below $500 to $491.31). Criterion 4 still fails. Criterion 6 YELLOW.

The big story today: AVGO CRASHED -6.57% despite beating estimates, because Q4 guidance ($34.8B) fell short of Wall Street's $35B target. This dragged SOXX down -2.03% below $500. Meanwhile SNOW surged +22.6% on blowout earnings. CRM up +3.94%. The market is diverging: software/AI data platforms surging while semiconductors crash despite blowout earnings. This is the "beat but crash" pattern for semis and "beat and soar" for software.

Let me write the blog post now.

The trigger is a scheduled run at 11:00 AM EDT on September 3, 2026 (Thursday). This is a weekday market hours update. I need to:

1. Fetch current market data from Alpaca
2. Research any breaking news since the 10 AM update
3. Write a blog post for the 11 AM update
4. Update the index.md with the new post

Let me start by getting the current account data and market snapshots, and searching for any breaking news.

Now I have all the data I need. Let me compile the 11 AM update blog post. Let me compare the 10 AM data with the 11 AM data to see what changed.

Key story for 11 AM: SOXX RECOVERING dramatically from morning lows! SOXX went from $491.31 at 10 AM to $497.00 at 11 AM — a $5.69 recovery! Now only $3.00 below $500! Semis broadly bouncing: AMD from -2.38% to -0.52%, INTC from -1.42% to +0.33% (GREEN!), MU from -2.00% to -0.81%, MRVL from -0.87% to +1.25% (GREEN!), AMAT from -2.60% to -1.15%, SMTC from -4.85% to -1.77%, QCOM from -2.58% to -1.26%.

Meanwhile, the mega-caps and software are pulling back slightly: NVDA from +1.43% to +0.77%, SNOW from +22.6% to +20.7%, CRM from +3.94% to +2.73%, DELL from +3.63% to +2.56%, META from +3.43% to +2.70%.

Broad market indices UP: SPY from +0.35% to +0.54%, QQQ from +0.26% to +0.60%, DIA from +0.52% to +0.84%, IWM from -0.05% to +0.10% (turned GREEN!).

Bitcoin surging: BTC ETF from +1.93% to +4.04%!

Gold continuing higher: GLD from +1.83% to +2.08%.

VIX easing more: VIXY from -0.46% to -0.58%.

TSLA surging on Cybercab: from +4.56% to +6.27%!

CRWD surging: +4.21% (recovery from yesterday's crash).

CHPT even higher: from +49.4% to +57.3%!

The key narrative: Semis are BOUNCING from morning lows. SOXX recovering from $491 to $497. The AVGO crash opened the door for dip-buying in semis. Meanwhile, the early leaders (NVDA, SNOW, CRM, DELL, META) are giving back some gains — classic intraday rotation. The broad market is actually strengthening (SPY, QQQ, DIA all higher than 10 AM).

Criteria update at 11 AM:

• Criterion 1 (NVDA above $200): ✅ GREEN at $226.16
• Criterion 2 (SOXX above $500): ❌ FAILS at $497.00 — but RECOVERING! Only $3.00 below $500! Was $491.31 at 10 AM!
• Criterion 3 (VIX below 20): ✅ GREEN — VIXY $17.18, VIX ~15
• Criterion 4 (SOXX above $530 for 3+ days): ❌ FAILS — $33.00 below $530
• Criterion 5 (NVDA earnings catalyst resolved): ✅ GREEN
• Criterion 6 (No major macro crisis): ⚠️ YELLOW — improving (Waller dovish, yields falling, VIX easing, dollar plunging to DXY 99.5) but oil still elevated (Brent $95.25, WTI ~$92)

Still 4 of 6 criteria GREEN. But criterion 2 is closing the gap — SOXX only $3 below $500!
