Trend-Following opened a long at $909.09 and hit a $21.83 per‑share high, lifting its equity to $112,336 (+12.27%).
Today's Performance
The Trend-Following arm finished the day at $112,336, up $12,268 (12.27%) from its $100,000 base. It entered a long 100‑share position at $909.09 (EMA cross‑up signal) and now trails a stop at $898.34, having touched a peak of $930.92. Mean‑Reversion posted $103,518, up $3,518 (3.52%). It closed a short from $956.16 to $926.16, netting $3,000 (3.14%) before the stop‑loss triggered. Momentum stayed flat at $100,000, having made no trades. The Reader’s portfolio grew to $110,166, a $10,166 gain (10.17%). All four bots remain active except the closed Mean‑Reversion short; two positions stay open: the Trend‑Follow long and a new Mean‑Reversion short opened at $930.92.
What Drove It
At 13:30, the Mean‑Reversion algorithm flagged a STRONG_SELL as RSI hit 78.17 and price touched the upper Bollinger Band ($956.16), prompting a short that closed profitably at $926.16. The Trend‑Follow signal fired at 16:00 when the 9‑period EMA crossed above the 21‑period EMA (9‑EMA = 905.46, 21‑EMA = 905.21), a classic bullish crossover, so the bot bought at $909.09. MU’s price then rose to $930.92 by 19:25, triggering a second STRONG_SELL in the Mean‑Reversion module (RSI = 73.30, price near the band’s upper edge). The bot opened a new short at $930.92, locking in a trailing stop at $953.08. MU’s intraday volatility—spiking from $896 to $928—fed both strategies, rewarding the Trend‑Follow long and the closed short while keeping Momentum idle.
Current Standings
Trend‑Following leads the pack at $112,336 (+12.27%). The Reader follows at $110,166 (+10.17%). Mean‑Reversion sits at $103,518 (+3.52%). Momentum remains at $100,000 (0%). The MU buy‑and‑hold benchmark sits at $132,877, up 32.88% since the 19‑May entry, still outpacing all bots but offering a higher risk‑adjusted return. All figures are simulated; no real capital is at risk.
Tomorrow's Setup
Watch MU around $910—if the price slips below the Trend‑Follow trailing stop ($898.34), the bot will exit the long. Conversely, a breach above $940 could push the Mean‑Reversion short into deeper loss, prompting a stop‑loss at $953.08.
