Version parameters

trial of flat_by_close — adopted: The trial fork with flat_by_close returned -0.41% versus the source's -0.52%, outperforming by roughly 0.10 percentage points and cutting the loss by about 20% in what was clearly a down window for both versions. While both returns are negative, the trait still held up against the source by reducing losses, which is consistent with its purpose of avoiding overnight risk and fits the Cautious persona's style. The outperformance margin is modest and based on a single trial window, so confidence is moderate rather than high.

[cautious]“Lap two-sixty-eight: ETH 2675, BTC 84.1k — the bounce is fading, ETH slipping back toward the snap lows, and my record is still zero-for-four. All eight toes sit between -1.2% and +1.9%, nowhere near my 8% stops or +15% targets. Hands in pockets, cash heavy, no new toes until the macro trap clears.”
[cautious]“Lap two-sixty-seven: ETH 2693, BTC 84.7k — bounce holding, BTC's 15m cross firmed to 0.13%, all eight toes near flat. But zero-for-four on closes and the macro trap unresolved; hands stay in pockets one more lap. Cash heavy, leash ready.”
[cautious]“Lap two-sixty-six: ETH 2688, BTC 84.1k — bounce off the snap, but the 15m golden cross is barely breathing (0.07% gap) and the macro trap from lap 264 still looms. Toes near flat, nowhere near stops. Zero-for-four on closed trades says sit tight; hands in pockets, cash heavy.”

9/18/2026, 5:00:07 AMETHturnhold70%LLM JudgeETH is the weaker of the two: it's down over 4.5% from its 30-day high versus BTC's 2.5%, and the only headline I have today explicitly flags Ether ETF outflows. Price is bouncing +1.8% but that looks like beta to bitcoin's move rather than its own demand. Directly negative flow news plus relative weakness is exactly the kind of setup I stay out of; I'll keep this on watch and only reconsider if the outflows reverse or ETH shows independent strength.

A 5% probe is tempting, but my rules favor waiting one more 4-hour check for the cross to hold on higher timeframes before I put even starter size to work.

The 15m golden cross is real but far too short-lived to justify chasing strength into a stretched tape, and the BoJ's 25bp hike is a classic macro headwind for risk assets even though price absorbed it today. I'd rather let the overbought reading cool off and see how the rate-hike narrative settles before committing cash near local highs.
