Trend-Following added $1,100 (+$1,100) after a $1,012.08 entry as MU broke $1,030.
Today's Performance
MU closed at $1,034.83, up 2.5% from the previous close. The Trend-Following bot posted a $16,216.43 gain (+16.22%) and now sits at $116,216.43, including $2,274.99 unrealized profit. The Mean‑Reversion bot slipped to $98,751.29, down $1,248.71 (-1.25%) after a short‑sell signal at $1,012.08 was reversed by the price rally. The Reader and Thinker strategies both stayed in the green, with The Reader up $10,166.15 (+10.17%) and The Thinker up $2,274.99 (+2.27%). All three long positions were opened at $1,012.08 at 13:30, each with a trailing stop near $1,009.54; the Mean‑Reversion stop sits at $1,047.50.
What Drove It
The 13:30 signal cascade triggered the Trend‑Follow and Thinker bots to go long. Both cited a bullish EMA cross: 9‑period EMA (968.47) rose above the 21‑period EMA (960.25) and the 50‑period EMA (957.79), confirming upward momentum. The Thinker also logged an ADX (Average Directional Index) of 28.2, indicating a strong trend. Meanwhile, the Mean‑Reversion engine flagged an overbought RSI of 85.57 and a price at the upper Bollinger Band, prompting a short‑sell that quickly turned loss as MU surged. No new signals fired after 14:00, so positions rode the price climb.
Current Standings
Trend‑Follow leads the pack at $116,216.43 (+16.22%). The Reader follows at $110,166.15 (+10.17%). The Thinker sits at $102,274.99 (+2.27%). Mean‑Reversion lags at $98,751.29 (-1.25%). By comparison, a buy‑and‑hold benchmark entered at $698.70 on 19 May and is now worth $148,107.91 (+48.11%).
Tomorrow's Setup
Watch MU around $1,050; a break could trigger the Trend‑Follow trailing stop, while a dip below $1,020 may force the Thinker to tighten its stop. No new signals are pending, but any breach of the $1,047.50 fixed stop will close the Mean‑Reversion short.
