| Time | Lane | Decision | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15:54 UTC | Brain Brief labels | Labeled May 4 watchlist outcomes | Early labels only; not trade results. |
| 12:48 UTC | 25k preflight | Blocked opening orders before market open | Safe no-submit state before regular market open. |
| 13:30 UTC | 5k account | Account passed entry guardrails | The account was eligible for the opening paper basket. |
| 13:30 UTC | 5k order basket | Submitted live-observable opening basket | Concentration increased accidentally because rejected same-day NVDA/SPY contracts reduced breadth. |
| 14:29 UTC | 5k monitor | Recorded local monitor peak | The later post-close result exceeded the active monitor peak after the account switch. |
| 14:34 UTC | Account routing | Active artifacts switched from 5k to 25k account | The 5k account no longer had continuous active-loop monitoring. |
| 14:34 UTC | 25k order basket | Continued paper options experiment on the 25k account | The 25k account ended flat but realized a loss for the day. |
| 19:14 UTC | 25k risk control | Submitted same-day expiry force-close exits | Same-day options risk was flattened before the final check. |
| 19:44 UTC | 25k final state | Verified final flat state | Flat account state; -$3,644 fill-aggregated realized P/L. |

Daily postmortem draft
# Daily Postmortem — 2026-05-06 ## Executive Summary - 25k options paper account ended flat with $21,318 cash/equity and -$3,644 realized P/L. - 5k options paper account ended at $11,975.62 from $5,000, with +$4,196 closed realized P/L and +$2,781 open marked P/L. - Brain Brief labels are early watchlist labels for 2026-05-04, not trade results. - Wiki health was a graph hygiene pass with score 100, not a trading outcome. ## What Happened - Pre-open checks blocked orders while the market clock was closed. - The 5k account submitted an opening basket; five contracts filled and three were blocked by PDT protection. - The active artifact stream switched away from the 5k account at 14:34 UTC, creating a monitoring continuity gap. - 25k same-day expiry risk was force-closed before the final flat-state check. ## Decisions To Carry Forward - Separate realized P/L from open marked P/L in every status report. - Do not switch active accounts without leaving a named monitor on the old account or flattening it. - Split 0DTE scalp mode from DTE1-DTE2 runner mode. - Add per-lot tracking before averaging into existing option symbols. ## Evidence - org-research/wiki/outcomes/alpaca-options-paper-2026-05-06.md - org-research/raw/reviews/options/2026/20260506-post-close-review.json - org-research/wiki/outcomes/alpaca-options-paper-5k-2026-05-06.md - org-research/raw/reviews/options/2026/20260506-5k-paper-post-close-review.json - org-research/raw/brain/outcomes/2026-05-04-outcome-labels-155405.json - org-research/wiki/outcomes/aapl-2026-05-04-brain-brief.md - org-research/wiki/outcomes/msft-2026-05-04-brain-brief.md - org-research/wiki/outcomes/nvda-2026-05-04-brain-brief.md - org-research/wiki/synthesis/brain-health/2026-05-06-wiki-health-pass.md
