Expectations checked 2026-10-20 05:43:23.359Z. All figures below are pre-release expectations, not actual results.

13:30 BST · US housing starts and permits

September2026 · Millions of housing units at seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR); levels, not month-on-month percentage changes.

Previous: Starts1.275m; permits 1.394m in original Census17 September release. TD16 October prior-permits column 1.403m. (August2026)
Revision: Permits1.394m vsTD1.403m source difference unresolved; cannot verify a separately issued revision before this cutoff.
Consensus: Starts1.305m; permits 1.385m · TD Economics calendar citing Bloomberg, published16 October 2026

Starts expectation rises0.030m from1.275m. Permits expectation below both reported prior versions; retain source disagreement explicitly. TD generic EST label converted using Census08:30Eastern in October daylight saving. Pre-release expectations only.

21:01 BST · Netflix results

Q3 2026 · Q3 2026 non-GAAP EPS in USD per share; revenue in USD billions, as explicitly labelled by forecast provider. Not a GAAP EPS forecast.

Previous: Q2 2026 non-GAAP EPS $0.80; revenue $12.56bn (Q2 2026 (sequential comparison))
Revision: Provider-displayed prior reported figures; no new revision established
Consensus: Non-GAAP EPS $0.82; revenue $12.87bn · Benzinga forward-period table labelled Wall Street consensus; underlying survey timestamp/analyst sample unspecified

Approximately 13:01 Pacific release / 21:01 UK, separate 13:45 Pacific interview / 21:45 UK. Current forward Q3 consensus used; older July guidance commentary contains a different historical consensus and is not the current forecast. Pre-release only.

21:30 BST · Intuitive Surgical earnings call

Q3 2026 · Q3 2026 non-GAAP EPS in USD per share; revenue in USD billions, as explicitly labelled by forecast provider. Not a GAAP EPS forecast.

Previous: Q2 2026 non-GAAP EPS $2.80; revenue $2.89bn (Q2 2026 (sequential comparison))
Revision: Provider-displayed prior reported figures; no new revision established
Consensus: Non-GAAP EPS $2.54; revenue $2.90bn · Benzinga forward-period table labelled Wall Street consensus; underlying survey timestamp/analyst sample unspecified

Primary issuer call 13:30 PDT / 21:30 UK; separate results-release clock not established. Forecast provider explicitly labels non-GAAP EPS. Consensus is not a prediction the stock will rise; pre-release only.

Official Census, BLS, Fed and BEA calendars checked October 20 before US releases. September housing is the selected macro highlight; BLS state employment is additional coverage. Bloomberg consensus as reported by TD October 16; not a new Workshop forecast. Building-permit prior differs between original Census release and TD calendar and is explicitly unreconciled. Selected issuer earnings announcements checked; not exhaustive calendar coverage. No later actuals used. Supplemental public Benzinga forward-period tables retrieved for Netflix and Intuitive: non-GAAP EPS and revenue consensus identified; underlying survey timestamp/sample unspecified. Compilation updated after the separately timestamped earnings-forecast checks; original forecast observation times are preserved. Forecasts can differ by publisher and update time. Previous readings retain their source vintage; no later actuals or revisions are backfilled.

Market regime · Mixed

Prior US session: 2026-10-19 · Equity trend overlay · Limited macro coverage.

Select individual opportunities using relative strength and weakness. Existing trigger, sizing and short-exposure limits apply.

Breadth, volatility, credit, rates and dollar confirmation are not yet included. This is an index-trend bias, not a confirmed full macro regime or an automatic trading signal.

Method and coverage

Both SPY and QQQ above their daily SMA50 and daily SMA20 rising over five sessions: risk-on bias; both below SMA50 and SMA20 falling: risk-off bias; otherwise mixed. Missing essential history: unavailable. Provisional uncalibrated rules. Daily series are split/dividend adjusted; separate from portfolio price-return marks.

Sector performance

Sorted by the latest completed session. Both returns sit side by side; the smaller figures show the difference from SPY. SPY plus eleven sectors: 12/12 current.

Alex’s setups — the case and the caution

SMR Nuscale Power Corp ↓Industrials · Specialty Industrial Machinery

TECHNICAL SETUP

Bear flag · Bearish price pattern · Last close $5.68

Why bearish: Price fell, paused in a short counter-trend channel, then broke below that channel. This supports a possible continuation lower. The closing price is below its 50-bar average ($7.65) and below its 200-bar average ($9.18).

What could go wrong: Breakout volume is still unconfirmed. A move above $6.20 would undermine this pattern.

TTM Squeeze · 4H: Squeeze is off; its last observed release was 31 completed bars ago. Momentum is bearish and falling (-1.30). Momentum direction agrees with this setup. No fresh directional squeeze trigger.

Closed positions leave open exposure and running P&L; their realised losses remain in cash and performance. Approved model stops use the stop price on audited touch, or first audited opening price on an adverse gap. A touch proves a candle window, not an exact instant or broker execution. Targets and discretionary exits retain separate execution conventions.

Exposure, accounting basis and limitations

Long exposure $37,989.20; short exposure -$0.00; net exposure $37,989.20; cash $63,157.34 includes any restricted short proceeds and is not buying power.

Price performance only; no dividends or cash interest. Recorded transaction and borrow charges deducted; pending borrow charges must be reconciled. Before taxes. Benchmark ETF proxies, not official index total returns. Insufficient history; excess return is not risk-adjusted alpha. One unit = $5,000.00; maximum 3 units and 15% per name at entry; combined shorts capped at 30%. Gaps may exceed planned stop risk. Dated level revisions take effect prospectively, with original levels retained.

Since inception · portfolio versus SPY and QQQ

Same measurement period: 2026-10-01 close to 2026-10-19 close. The model launched with $100,000 cash on 2 October; its first trading day was 2 October.

QQQ · Nasdaq-100 ETF-3.19%Adjusted daily prices · 742.03 → 718.36

Contextual comparison: ETF daily prices include the provider’s split/dividend adjustments; the simulated portfolio excludes dividends and cash interest. These are ETF proxies, not official index total returns. The original benchmark baseline is preserved. This separate adjusted daily comparison does not replace frozen-baseline accounting.

Corrected performance history · original figures retained for audit

On 15 October Jean-Marc approved applying the stop-touch/adverse-opening-gap convention to existing stopped positions and requested a recalculation. Earlier published values were not based on this completed exit convention. Entries and selections are unchanged; closed losses are retained. Available dated report observations are restated below; missing observations are not fabricated.

Sam’s open-holdings review

Reviewed 2026-10-20T05:42:04.936Z. No real orders.

HoldingDecisionReason
Amazon.com Inc (AMZN) · Consumer CyclicalRetainRetain one unit with no addition. Monday recovered above both the original $251.87 triangle trigger and the $259.49 double-bottom neckline, all three 4H averages and a fresh bullish MACD cross. That materially improves Friday deterioration; it is not a retrospective new entry. Consumer Cyclical already has two names including HLT, so a further same-sector name is not cleared. Keep the existing stop/target; 29 October results remain event-gap risk.
Duke Energy Corporation (DUK) · UtilitiesRetainRetain one unit, no addition. Monday fell with the Utilities sector and closed below the session opening, while bullish MACD and price above 50/100-bar averages preserve the recovery case. The falling 200-bar average remains overhead. Rate sensitivity is a hypothesis without synchronized yield evidence; no adverse issuer event or audited stop touch is established. Keep the original stop/target and reassess a loss of recovery support.
Accenture plc (ACN) · TechnologyRetainRetain two units, no addition or retrospective exit. Strong price above all three 4H averages and bullish MACD support continuation, but RSI above80 and extension above SMA50 make a fresh addition unattractive. The $216.270004 protective stop is now effective from19October13:30UTC and was not touched. Original $219.034957 target has been exceeded; target execution remains unresolved, so this is an explicit alert, not a fabricated sale or silently extended target.
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc (HLT) · Consumer CyclicalRetainRetain two units with the $331.825012 protective stop active from19October13:30UTC; no new units. Bullish MACD and price above all three averages support the case, but RSI above75 and the 27October results gap limit fresh risk. Original $342.988541 target is exceeded; keep the alert visible without inventing a target fill or changing its historical target. Current wide/stale earnings-market odds do not clear the trade.
American Tower Corp (AMT) · Real EstateRetainRetain one unit, no addition. Monday faded from the opening and $186 session high but remains above all three 4H averages, with RSI65.70 and bullish MACD. Existing $176.419998 stop was not touched; the original $199.614022 target remains. Real Estate/Utilities share financing sensitivity, so this is not independent macro diversification; 27October results are a material upcoming event.

No stopped positions remain as pending exits.

AMZN/HLT share consumer-growth sensitivity and occupy both Consumer Cyclical name slots. ACN adds technology/services demand. DUK/AMT share financing/rates exposure, so their sector labels do not establish independent diversification. No numerical correlation estimate or hedge ratio is claimed. Selective phase persists after first reaching50%gross9October. Today zero new units; normally one$5000unit for a justified addition. Three$5000units/$15000 and15%equity per name,30%shorts,two names/25%gross/1.5%original-stop-risk per sector remain. No universal dollar-loss cap chosen.

Sam’s portfolio decisions

Decision snapshot: 20 October at 06:42 BST. Prices through 2026-10-19 US close. Simulation only.

No new portfolio selections

Technical setups not selected for the portfolio

These chart setups did not qualify for a new simulated entry at this review.

CompanyWhy not selected
Analog Devices Inc (ADI)Technology · SemiconductorsNot selected for a short. The triangle remains below its $402.38 trigger with bearish MACD; the $350.31 measured target versus $415.17 invalidation is roughly2.10R at the current close. This is a credible bearish comparison, but current borrow/rate/margin/dividend evidence is absent, and the full parent-degree chain remains conditional. No short is executable merely from a chart score.
Nokia Corp ADR (NOK)Technology · Communication EquipmentNot selected for a short. Bear flag below $9.13 trigger, RSI33.88 and bearish MACD support the bearish comparison; $7.94 objective versus $9.59 stop gives about2.23R at $9.08. Borrow/rate/margin/dividend evidence and complete issuer-event entry review are absent. Missing checks are unresolved, not proof of a negative company event.
SoundHound AI Inc (SOUN)Technology · Software - ApplicationNot selected for a short. Bear flag below $4.70 trigger has about3.59R to $3.68 versus $4.93 invalidation, but RSI29.44 and already extended weakness increase rebound risk. No verified borrow/rate/margin/dividend evidence; low-price geometry alone cannot establish executable exposure.
Ross Stores Inc (ROST)Consumer Cyclical · Apparel RetailNot selected despite a credible bullish triangle: current $238.67 above $233.28 trigger, RSI68.13 and bullish MACD, with $220.10 invalidation and $293.26 measured target. Existing AMZN/HLT occupy both Consumer Cyclical sector name slots. A third consumer name would breach the name cap even though dollar gross capacity remains; do not label this chart disqualified or automatically sell a holding to make room.
Nuscale Power Corp (SMR)Industrials · Specialty Industrial MachineryNot selected for a short. Bear flag below $5.82 trigger offers about3.20R to $4.02 versus $6.20 invalidation, but RSI25.74 shows substantial existing downside extension and a rebound alternative. Low nominal price does not itself clear execution. Borrow/rate/margin/dividend verification is unavailable, so zero units rather than an invented executable short.
Simulation entry and exit conventions

Sam selects 1–3 fixed $5,000 units within the existing exposure limits. A completed 4H trigger must precede selection; entries use the next independently audited US opening within the stated range. Fractional shares and zero model fees apply. Historical entries are shown in the portfolio above, not repeated as new decisions here.

Model stops now close at the audited touch/stop price or adverse audited opening gap, with zero fees. Closed losses stay in realised history. Any continued exposure requires a new prospective selection; no retrospective stop extension. Other exit conventions remain separately governed.
