+# SPY Iron Condor Debrief — 2026-08-11
+
+## Trade Summary
+- **Ticker:** SPY
+- **Structure:** Iron Condor (8/14 expiry)
+  - 770P/760P (put side)
+  - 780C/785C (call side)
+- **Credit:** $2.44/contract
+- **Entry:** ~$773.70 at ~10:29 AM ET
+- **Exit:** ~11:30 AM ET (time exit)
+- **Result:** -$6 net loss
+
+## Plan
+- **Target:** 25% profit ($1.83 buyback)
+- **Time Exit:** 11:30 AM ET
+- **Guard:** Close if approaching breakevens ($768.44 / $782.44)
+
+## Observations
+- **Asymmetric Structure:** 10-wide put side, 5-wide call side
+  - Riskier put wing got more buffer
+  - Better credit optimization on the closer strike
+- **NL3 Feed Issue:** Institutional prints showing zero throughout session
+  - Feed likely stale/disconnected
+  - Normal SPY volume should show dozens of prints by 10:30 AM
+- **Price Action:** SPY drifted from $773.70 to around exit
+  - Put side was always the danger zone ($3.70 vs $6.30 to calls)
+  - Theta grind on 3-day 0DTE can be unforgiving
+
+## Key Takeaways
+1. **Asymmetric IC Design:** Good structure — wider put side matched the closer risk
+2. **Time Management:** Respected the 11:30 exit window cleanly
+3. **NL3 Reliability:** Feed issues need monitoring — toggle off/on when zero prints show
+4. **Small Losses:** -$6 on a $2.44 credit is noise, not strategy failure
+
+## Next Time
+- Consider waiting for more theta decay before entry
+- Monitor NL3 feed health at session start
+- Stick to the plan — execution was clean, just unfavorable drift

+# SPY Bull Put Credit Spread — 2026-07-31 1:30 PM ET
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-31
+**Session time:** 1:30 PM ET
+**Asset:** SPY
+**Expiration:** July 31, 2026 (0DTE)
+**Direction:** Bullish — slow grind higher
+
+---
+
+## Trade specs
+
+| Field | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Strategy | Bull Put Credit Spread |
+| Short put (sell) | $740 |
+| Long put (buy) | $738 |
+| Width | $2 |
+| Credit target | ~$0.40–$0.60 |
+| Max profit | credit received (20-30%+ of width with 0DTE theta) |
+| Breakeven | $739.40–$739.60 |
+| SPY price at time | $744.72 |
+| Day range | $737.68 – $746.30 |
+| Time remaining | ~2h 50m |
+
+## Thesis
+
+SPY is holding the upper 80% of today's range on low volume (39% of average). Low volume + upper register holding often prints a slow grind higher rather than rejection. A credit spread is preferred because theta works in our favor — every minute of 0DTE decay adds to profit. We don't need SPY to rally; we just need it to stay above $740.
+
+## Key levels
+
+- **Resistance:** $746.30 (today's high), $748 (mid-week), $750 (psychological)
+- **Support:** $741.69 (yesterday's close), $737.68 (today's low)
+
+## Entry
+
+- Sell $740 / Buy $738 put spread
+- Target credit: $0.40–$0.60 (20-30%+ of width)
+
+## Exit plan
+
+- **20% profit:** credit of ~$0.50 → sell 50% at 20% back (~$0.10 credit retained)
+- **Runner:** trail remaining 50%, close if bid drops toward breakeven
+- **Stop / defense:** SPY closes below $739 → consider early exit or roll
+- **Max risk:** width minus credit (~$1.40–$1.60/contract)
+
+## Why credit spread over debit spread
+
+- **Theta works for us** — 0DTE decay accelerates all day, especially after ~3:30 PM
+- Higher probability — spread is well OTM below yesterday's close ($741.69)
+- We profit from the grind *and* from the standstill
+- Debit spread needed active upside; credit spread profits from not failing
+
+## Notes
+
+- Low volume today may cap upside speed but also reduces downside momentum
+- Theta accelerates sharply in final 2 hours — monitor decay rate after 3:30 PM
+- If volume spikes downward, reassess the $740 support level

+## Plan: Watchlist Confluence Scan
+
+### Phase 1 — Broad filter across all 54 tickers (~5-8 tool calls)
+
+**1. Market context snapshot**
+- Pull `SPY` and `QQQ` snapshots to establish the day's market regime (trend, range, key levels). Everything filters through this — no short setups in a strong uptrend day, no longs into a breakdown.
+
+**2. Batch screen for daily structure**
+- Run a Finviz scan (or equivalent) filtering for:
+  - Price within ~3% of the 50-day MA (your stated preference)
+  - Consolidation/base pattern or pullback setup
+  - Above/below VWAP context
+- This narrows 54 → likely 10-15 candidates worth deeper review.
+
+**3. Parallel ticker snapshots**
+- Pull `snapshot` data for the ~10-15 candidates from Phase 2 to get:
+  - Current price, day range, volume vs average
+  - Pre-market action (gappers up/down)
+  - % change from 50MA (if available from scan data)
+
+### Phase 2 — Confluence analysis on the shortlist (~3-4 calls per ticker × 5-8 tickers)
+
+For each candidate, evaluate these confluence factors:
+
+| Factor | Tool / Source | What I'm looking for |
+|--------|--------------|----------------------|
+| **Daily chart structure** | `chart_command` — load symbol, D timeframe | Trend direction, price vs 50MA/200MA, support/resistance zones, base/consolidation patterns |
+| **Intraday setup** | `chart_command` — 3-min or 5-min chart | VWAP relationship, pre-market gap vs overnight range, opening range break potential |
+| **Volume profile** | `chart_command` — volume indicator | Above-average volume confirming the move, or thin volume suggesting trap |
+| **Options flow / unusual activity** | `mcp` → `ttg-options` chain snapshot | Unusual call/put volume, max pain, gamma exposure — institutional positioning signal |
+| **Relative strength** | Visual chart comparison | Is it holding while the sector/market sells? That's a Mike-style confluence flag |
+
+### Phase 3 — Trade plan construction on top setups (2-4 tickers max)
+
+For the 2-4 tickers with the strongest confluence:
+
+**1. Chart the setup**
+- Load the ticker on AI chart with overlays: VWAP, 50 EMA, key S/R levels drawn
+- Identify the exact entry zone, stop level, and target levels (T1/T2/T3)
+
+**2. Draft the trade plan**
+- Symbol, side, entry zone, stop, targets, time horizon
+- **Rationale**: confluence factors that align (daily structure + intraday trigger + flow confirmation)
+- **What invalidates it**: the one condition that kills the thesis
+
+**3. Options structure**
+- Given your preference for credit spreads, evaluate:
+  - Credit spread strikes (defined risk, collect premium)
+  - Bid-ask spread width (< $0.25 preferred for scalps)
+  - Time decay working in your favor
+
+### Phase 4 — Summary card
+
+Deliver a structured card showing:
+- Top 3-5 setups ranked by confluence score
+- Each with: setup type, entry/stop/targets, key confluence factors, risk level
+- The "sitting on hands" list — tickers that looked okay but lacked a decisive edge
+
+---
+
+### Estimated tool call count
+- **Phase 1:** ~8-10 calls
+- **Phase 2:** ~15-25 calls (depending on shortlist size)
+- **Phase 3:** ~5-8 calls
+- **Phase 4:** 1 card build call
+
+**Total: ~30-45 tool calls** — this is a substantive scan. I'd recommend we do Phase 1 first to see the shortlist, then you can approve Phase 2 on the narrowed candidates rather than burning through credits on all 54.
+
+### Key question before I proceed:
+1. **Long only, or long + short?** You've expressed interest in both — what's the bias today?
+2. **Time horizon:** 0DTE intraday scalps, or day/swing holds?
+3. **Asset class focus:** Equities only, or include ETFs (SPY/QQQ/TAN/SOXL/SQQQ/KRE) in the confluence review?

+# Workspace Context: Watchlist Confluence Scan
+
+## Routing
+Given the goal to scan 54 tickers for trade setups with confluence, the workflow proceeds through stages:
+
+1. **00_clarify** - Ask clarifying questions about long/short bias, time horizon, asset class focus.
+2. **01_broad_filter** - Perform broad filter across all tickers to narrow candidates.
+3. **02_confluence_analysis** - Analyze confluence factors for each candidate.
+4. **03_trade_plan** - Construct detailed trade plans for top setups.
+5. **04_summary_card** - Produce a structured summary card of setups and sitting-on-hands list.
+
+## Shared Resources
+- _config/: Contains references such as ticker list, default parameters.
+- shared/: May contain common tools or scripts (if any).
+
+The agent should read the stage's CONTEXT.md for detailed inputs, process, and outputs.

+
+## Inputs
+- (none) - Start of workflow
+
+## Process
+Ask the user the following key questions to configure the scan:
+1. Long only, or long + short? (Specify bias: long, short, or both)
+2. Time horizon: 0DTE intraday scalps, or day/swing holds?
+3. Asset class focus: Equities only, or include ETFs (SPY/QQQ/TAN/SOXL/SQQQ/KRE) in the confluence review?
+
+Record the answers in a markdown file.

+
+## Inputs
+- Layer 4 (working): ../00_clarify/output/user_preferences.md
+- Layer 3 (reference): shared/cha-martin-watchlist.ms.csv
+
+## Process
+1. Read user preferences to determine bias, time horizon, and asset class focus.
+2. Load the full ticker list from the watchlist CSV.
+3. Establish market context by pulling snapshot data for SPY and QQQ to determine the day's regime (trend, range, key levels).
+4. Perform a batch scan (using Finviz or equivalent) filtering for:
+   - Price within ~3% of the 50-day MA
+   - Consolidation/base pattern or pullback setup
+   - Above/below VWAP context
+5. Record the resulting shortlist of candidates (expected 10-15 tickers) for further analysis.

+- Layer 3 (reference): shared/cha-martin-watchlist.ms.csv (full ticker list for reference)
+
+## Process
+For each ticker in the shortlist, evaluate the following confluence factors:
+1. Daily chart structure: load symbol, D timeframe to assess trend, price vs 50MA/200MA, support/resistance zones, base/consolidation patterns.
+2. Intraday setup: load 3-min or 5-min chart to examine VWAP relationship, pre-market gap vs overnight range, opening range break potential.
+3. Volume profile: check volume indicator for above-average volume confirming move or thin volume suggesting trap.
+4. Options flow / unusual activity: use MCP → ttg-options chain snapshot to spot unusual call/put volume, max pain, gamma exposure.
+5. Relative strength: visually compare chart to sector/market to see if holding while sector/market sells.
+
+Record analysis for each ticker, noting which factors align.

+
+## Process
+1. From the confluence analysis, select the top 2-4 tickers with the strongest confluence.
+2. For each selected ticker:
+   - Load the ticker on AI chart with overlays: VWAP, 50 EMA, key support/resistance levels.
+   - Identify the exact entry zone, stop level, and target levels (T1/T2/T3).
+   - Draft a trade plan including:
+     * Symbol, side, entry zone, stop, targets, time horizon
+     * Rationale: confluence factors that align (daily structure + intraday trigger + flow confirmation)
+     * What invalidates it: the one condition that kills the thesis
+   - Given preference for credit spreads, evaluate options structure:
+     * Credit spread strikes (defined risk, collect premium)
+     * Bid-ask spread width (< $0.25 preferred for scalps)
+     * Time decay working in your favor
+3. Compile all trade plans into a single document.

+# Tool: Tool Catalog Maintainer
+
+## Purpose
+Create and maintain a `README.md` catalog for a user-specified directory containing subfolders of tools, prompts, scripts, docs, workflows, skills, or other reusable resources.
+
+The README is a living catalog. It should improve over time as new subfolders are added and existing ones are updated. Future humans and LLM agents will refer to this README to decide which resource to use for a request.
+
+Invoke this tool when the user asks to:
+
+- create a catalog README for a folder of tools/resources
+- update an existing catalog after tools change
+- summarize available prompts, scripts, docs, workflows, or reusable assets
+- make a directory easier for LLMs to navigate
+- document a collection of reusable tools
+- generate or refresh an index for agent skills, prompts, scripts, references, or workflows
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Layer | Path | Required | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Layer 4 working | `<target-folder>/` | Yes | The folder the user points to. It should contain one or more direct subfolders to catalog. |
+| Layer 4 working | `<target-folder>/README.md` | No | Existing catalog to preserve and improve when present. |
+| Layer 3 reference | `tools/tool-catalog-maintainer/references/catalog-format.md` | Yes | Defines the recommended README structure and cataloging rules. |
+
+## Process
+
+1. Confirm the target folder exists.
+2. Inspect the target folder's direct subfolders. Treat each direct subfolder as one catalog entry unless the user's request says otherwise.
+3. For each subfolder, inspect enough contents to understand its purpose and use:
+   - `README.md`, `CONTEXT.md`, `SKILL.md`, `PROCEDURE.md`, and other Markdown files
+   - prompt files
+   - scripts such as `.py`, `.sh`, `.js`, `.ts`, `.rb`, `.go`, etc.
+   - config files such as `package.json`, `pyproject.toml`, `requirements.txt`, `uv.lock`, `.env.example`
+   - `references/`, `docs/`, `assets/`, `output/`, or similarly named support folders
+4. Do not deeply read generated outputs, large dependency folders, archives, or binary assets unless they are necessary to identify the tool.
+5. If a catalog README already exists, preserve useful existing content and improve it rather than replacing blindly.
+6. Write for future LLM consumption:
+   - use explicit folder names and paths
+   - state when to use each tool
+   - name key files and entry points
+   - call out setup requirements and cautions
+   - prefer structured tables plus short per-tool sections
+7. Create or update `<target-folder>/README.md` using the format in `references/catalog-format.md`.
+8. Verify the README covers every relevant direct subfolder and does not invent capabilities not supported by the inspected files.
+
+## Outputs
+
+Update or create:
+
+```text
+<target-folder>/README.md
+```
+
+The README should be a durable catalog, not a one-time summary.
+
+## Verify
+
+Before finishing, verify that:
+
+- the target folder exists
+- every relevant direct subfolder is represented in the catalog
+- each entry has a purpose and “when to use” guidance
+- key files or entry points are listed where known
+- setup or dependency notes are included when visible
+- existing README content was preserved when useful
+- unsupported claims were avoided

+# Catalog README Format
+
+Use this reference when creating or updating a catalog README for a folder of tools, prompts, scripts, docs, workflows, or other reusable resources.
+
+## Recommended README shape
+
+```markdown
+# Tool Catalog
+
+This README catalogs the tools and resources in this directory. It is intended for humans and LLM agents to quickly identify what is available and when to use it.
+
+## Catalog
+
+| Tool / Folder | Purpose | Key Files | When to Use |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `example-tool/` | Brief summary of what it does. | `README.md`, `script.py` | Use when... |
+
+## Tools
+
+### `example-tool/`
+
+**Purpose:**  
+Describe what this tool/resource does in 1–3 sentences.
+
+**Contents:**
+- `README.md` — usage notes and overview
+- `script.py` — command-line entry point
+- `references/` — supporting documentation
+
+**Use when:**  
+Describe the requests or situations where an agent should choose this tool.
+
+**Setup / dependencies:**  
+List visible install steps, runtimes, package managers, API keys, or “None noted.”
+
+**Notes:**  
+Include cautions, output locations, maintenance hints, or limitations.
+
+## Maintenance Notes
+
+When adding or updating a tool folder, update this README with:
+
+- purpose
+- key files and entry points
+- usage guidance
+- setup requirements
+- notable changes or cautions
+```
+
+## Cataloging rules
+
+- Prefer accuracy over completeness. If purpose is unclear, say so and name the files inspected.
+- Do not claim a tool can do something unless the files support it.
+- Keep the table compact; put detail in the per-tool sections.
+- Include exact relative paths so future agents can load the right files quickly.
+- Distinguish source files from generated `output/` artifacts.
+- Mention whether a tool is prompt-only, script-driven, documentation-only, or a workflow.
+- If a folder has its own README, use it as the primary source but still verify key files.
+- Preserve useful existing catalog notes during updates.
+- Remove stale entries only when the corresponding folder is gone or clearly obsolete.
