The week in one image
The snapshot above captures what the system looked like after a volatile week. Balances were stressed, unrealized positions moved against expectation, and nothing about it felt comfortable.
That discomfort is exactly why this log exists.
The question wasn’t “what happened?” It was “did anything happen that required intervention?”
The answer was no.
What we saw
- Sharp downside volatility across the market
- Bots behaving within expected parameters
- No mechanical failures
- No structural break that invalidated the original plan
Importantly: nothing broke — even though it felt like it might.
This snapshot is intentionally boring. That’s the point.
The decisions we made this week
1) We did not override the system
No manual closes. No panic adjustments. No “just this once” interference.
The system was allowed to do the job it was designed to do: absorb volatility without emotional input.
