Harvest Level 2 ratchet: HPE $62 → $64 GTC

HPE at $69.77 = basis $64 + $5.77 = 1.05R (R = $5.50 initial risk). 1R threshold HIT per Harvest discipline. Level 2 ratchet locks breakeven floor.

• Order 4aea44d5 replaced f2f18fe8 (stop $62 → $64 GTC)
• Max loss if gap-down: $0 vs $-28 at $62 vs $-77 at $58.50
• 8.3% volatility room ($69.77 → $64)
• Day 3 catalyst continuation (intraday high $70.17, +8.86% day)

Per ratchets_regime_change memory: Level 1 at 0.77R + Level 2 at 1.05R = 2 of 3-4 levels. Reserve Levels 3-4 ($65 / $66) for close if HPE pushes $71+.

4. G7 oil release 50M→100M bbl (10:26) — DOUBLES AM alert

No new pipeline — tape rotation + chase risk

Reasons:

1. Tape rotation out of AI — SMH/QQQ/NVDA giving back AM highs; chase risk elevated
2. ARM +6.44% ripped — chase pattern
3. MU catalyst-tape divergence persists (bear tape on Toshiba 2x contradicts AM Samsung HBM 3x bull); -1.51% intraday despite 14-signal stack
4. AMD fading from +3.97% to +2.42% — no clean entry
5. SNPS mid-session rebound to $485 (still above $470 pipeline threshold)
6. AVGO fresh entry — digest fade unresolved
7. Session cap discipline — 1/4 used, preserve for close setup
8. Cash 69.5% comfortable dry powder

Watch for close (15:53 ET)

1. HPE Level 3 ratchet — if $71+ (1.3R), consider stop $64→$65
2. HPE Level 4 ratchet / Harvest trim — if $72-$73+ (1.5-1.6R)
3. AVGO continuation — ratchet stop $333→$340 if $360+
4. SNPS pullback entry — if closes near $470
5. MU catalyst-tape resolution — reversal = contrarian pipeline
6. SYY cushion — ratchet or accept if drops below 2.5%
7. REGN digestion — Jefferies $930 PT + 5% cushion
8. CEG recovery — mild rebound in progress
9. Tape rotation — if continues fading, defensive; if re-energizes, add consideration
10. Session cap: 1/4 Fri + $3,940 room (3 more pipelines possible)
