Quant Trader's Automated Trading Journal - Day33
Date: September 19, 2026
Current account: 633.85U (added 300u and opened a SOXL position)
Today's P&L: +0.79U (7-day)
Status: Running normally
It's been a month.
I stopped updating for a while, firstly because the strategy is mostly hands-off and there wasn't much to write about every day; secondly, because the recent market conditions have really made me reluctant to open my account.
Looking at the 7-day P&L, +0.79U, it's basically flat. But the one-way market action over the past few days has indeed been unfavorable for quantitative trading.

Gud chart, looks ready

Everyone is sleeping on $CL /USDT while the 1h setup screams LONG.

$CL /USDT - LONG

Trade Plan:
Entry: 94.81 – 95.03
SL: 93.60
TP1: 95.91
TP2: 96.57
TP3: 97.56

Why this setup?
Why now? The 1h price sits at 94.92 inside a tight entry zone between 94.81 and 95.03, and the 15m RSI is 27.12, which means momentum is deeply oversold and ready to snap back. The daily trend is range, so this is a mean-reversion play, not a breakout, and the 1h ATR of 0.422819 tells us the average candle range is small enough that a clean push to 95.91 and then 96.57 is realistic on a squeeze.

Gate invited me to Bali in August, and the KOLs who went said everything was arranged exceptionally well.
Every meal featured Boston lobster and lavish seafood feasts. Everyone who went this time was a top beauty from the crypto world, and I really regret not going. 😭😭😭

Congratulations to all $DOT holders on the new ATH! 🎉
That's to be expected when the team keeps working like they owe the World Bank.
On Thursday, they announced that ~9B tokens were processed over the last 28 days. This means more eyes are on us, and they like what they see,
GPT-5.6 Sol is also live on @usedotai at $1.50 / $7.50 per 1M tokens (25% cheaper than OpenRouter).
Another addition is Dot Image Studio, where you can upload or generate an image, circle what you want changed, and edit it in place.
They also added Jev (same as $ARIA ) to the Dot API.
Theirs cost $0.04 per 1M input tokens

The 32-ETH threshold is gone, but $RPL ’s price action got doused with cold water first
Two hours ago, Rocketpool and Lido lowered the 32-ETH staking threshold so everyone could participate, but $RPL ground down from 1.84 to 1.819, with price action taking the hit first. The direction is simple: buy dips on a pullback, cut losses below 1.7291, and catch the story above 1.828.

The event comes down to one sentence—on-chain author FigoETH said you can run a validator and earn yield without accumulating 32 ETH. The transmission is real—the lower threshold brings small-capital inflows into liquid

#Gate首日支持ARC公链
Every blockchain launch starts with an empty canvas. The real story begins afterward, when developers start building, users begin exploring, liquidity starts moving, and communities discover which applications can actually create lasting activity.
Circle’s Arc blockchain has now entered that early stage, and Gate is supporting the ecosystem from day one.
What makes Arc worth watching is not simply that another Layer-1 has arrived. Arc has been designed around a financial infrastructure model that puts stablecoins, fast settlement, and real-world financial applications much clos

• #PEPE
• $CKOM
• $DOG

• #HYDRACHAIN

No switching. No FOMO. Just conviction. Drop your pick.

#Gate广场中秋团圆局 Bitcoin breaking above $81,000 is not merely a price breakout. Today, three distinct data flows are shifting in sync: combined spot ETF inflows $577M , a brand-new CFTC regulatory filing has added another catalyst to institutional markets, and miner selling indicates that supply-side activity remains active. The key question for the next phase is whether demand can continue absorbing available supply at higher prices.
① ETF flows have become an important demand signal. On September 18, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $433M in net inflows, while spot Ethereum ETFs saw an additiona

$ETH The daily chart has also broken above 2520, with strong volume, indicating a bullish trend. However, be cautious of news at Monday’s open. The previous high of 2670 on the four-hour chart is resistance; if 2670 breaks, short positions should exit. Those who are trapped can set a stop-loss around 2670. The one-hour chart shows that upward momentum is not very strong, so a pullback may occur. Don’t take large positions recently. #美国众院推动比特币储备立法

Watching the market got so annoying that turning it off actually made things clearer; with my eyes off the screen, my heart stopped panicking too.
During the repeated intraday swings, $GRVT failed to break higher each time, the rebound was weak, and trading volume was also low. I judged it to be a bull trap and signaled a bullish bias, short at highs. Opening price: 0.2933.
After grinding down to 0.1932, the return reached +671.99%. Everyone on board should be laughing in their sleep—the wait for this short position was not in vain.

I had already finished complaining to my friends about this week’s market, but now I have to take it all back. A little awkward.

A few nights ago before bed, $JCT rebounded but found no buyers, with insufficient support and clear resistance overhead, so I suggested testing a short position. Entry price: 0.002429.

When I woke up, the current price was 0.001668, with a return of +766.24%. That was a satisfying bite of profit—the earlier action was genuinely sluggish, but the move itself turned out to be genuinely sweet.

Take 80% off the table first, and move the stop-loss on the remaining

Under greedy sentiment, can $SNDKB still be bought long? Yes, but only after waiting for a pullback—not by chasing the highs.
The Fear & Greed Index is 71, and the market is in the greed zone. BTC’s high-level consolidation is providing a floor for altcoins but no longer offering additional upward momentum, while sector rotation is beginning to spread toward lagging assets poised to catch up. $SNDKB is currently at 1779.41, up 2.63% over 24h, with trading volume of only 9.9M USDT, indicating relatively thin volume. Technically, MA5=1780.26 has fallen below MA20=1783.07, the MACD histogram re

Some trades are just like this: the more closely you watch them, the less they move; the moment you turn away, they take off. When I checked the chart after lunch, resistance above $AAOI was obvious and selling pressure was strong, so I said not to rush to close the short—let it move on its own.
Have a strategy before the session, discipline during the session, and reflection after the session. Even if you only make a little, as long as you can take it with you, it’s yours; no matter how much unrealized profit there is, it belongs to the market.

Fear & Greed Index: 71. The market is in the greed zone, with risk appetite still present, but it has entered a zone where chasing highs requires caution. $SHIB is currently at 5.62e-06, up 3.31% over 24h, with a trading volume of 5.1M USDT; MA5=5.534e-06 has crossed above MA20=5.469e-06, forming a bullish moving-average alignment. The MACD histogram at +9.413e-09 is maintaining bullish momentum, but RSI=76.0 has entered overbought territory, while the price at 5.62e-06 is also close to the Bollinger upper band at 5.57481e-06, making the short-term overheating signal clear.
