One stock just hit day 37 and keeps climbing
Today's market and our positions
TEAM just keeps refusing to give us a reason to exit. Day 37 of that first position and it's sitting at +20.52% while SPY has barely flinched over the same window. That's the kind of hold that feels uncomfortable while you're in it and obvious only once you look back. SPY closed near $771.89 today, up 0.30% — a nothing day, the kind where the market drifts, you check your positions twice, and close the tab. No trades closed. Twenty-three open positions across CRNX, TEAM, HURN, HTFL, and RNG. The Relative Strength Engine is doing all the heavy lifting right now.
What our open trades are doing
Let's go name by name. TEAM (days 37, 36, 15): This is the book's anchor. All three positions are up double digits — +20.52%, +19.33%, +16.35% — and the alpha on each is wide. The stock has separated cleanly from SPY over the holding period, which is exactly what the Relative Strength Engine hunts for. No reason to second-guess the hold. HURN (day 17): Up +10.43% with +9.43% alpha. Quiet today, but the trend is intact. This one has earned its seat at the table. RNG (days 9, 8): Up +3.01% and +2.40% respectively. Both logged positive alpha on a day SPY dipped — strength holding while the broad market softened is the tell we want. Early days, but the engine liked this setup for a reason. HTFL (days 16, 4, 3): A mixed picture. Day 16 is showing slightly negative alpha (-0.38%), while days 3 and 4 are both in positive territory. The stock itself has moved only fractionally from all three entries. We're watching to see if it can separate from the tape — or if it just stalls here. CRNX (14 positions, days 46–72): Every single CRNX position is showing +0.00% price change. That's not a rounding quirk — the stock is locked. Fourteen positions. Zero movement. The alpha reads are a patchwork of small positives and negatives depending on where SPY was on each entry day. This is the uncomfortable part of running a position this long without a resolution. The Relative Strength Engine flagged it repeatedly, but price hasn't confirmed the thesis. We're not panicking — but we're not adding either.
Today's closed trades, post-mortem
No trades closed today, so there are no post-mortems to run. The scoreboard holds at 0 closed trades out of 24 total positions opened. Win rate is technically 0/0 on closed trades — a strange number to stare at, but it simply means the system hasn't exited anything yet. The real scorecard starts when positions close.
What could change by tomorrow's open
The CRNX pile is the obvious pressure point. Fourteen open positions in the same name, all flat, all burning calendar days. If that stock moves against us, it moves against a lot of exposure at once. HTFL is also worth watching — it hasn't shown the separation the engine expected, and three entries with minimal price progress is a pattern we're not ignoring. On the other side of the ledger, TEAM and HURN could give back ground fast on any broad market sell day, and that would dent the portfolio-level number in a hurry. SPY near these levels feels calm. But calm has a way of ending without much warning.
What we're watching tomorrow
Tomorrow morning the engines scan fresh. CRNX either does something or it keeps sitting there, quietly demanding an explanation. That's the real question heading into the open — how long does a flat stock hold its place in a Relative Strength book before the system decides to move on?
