12 October – 18 Oct 2026
A weekly note about the work, not the winnings: the events the platform navigated, the trades it chose not to take and why, and what improved. Performance belongs on the strategy pages, measured properly — this page is about the assistant doing its job.
The week it navigated
19 high-impact scheduled events crossed the calendar this week. Around each one, entries were held in the guard window and exposed positions were secured before the print — the routine that runs whether or not anyone is watching.
- Tuesday — USD Existing Home Sales · JPY BoJ L Money Stock y/y
- Wednesday — JPY BoJ L Money Stock y/y · USD CPI · USD CPI m/m · USD CPI y/y · USD Core CPI m/m · USD Core CPI n.s.a. m/m · CAD BoC Governor Macklem Speech
- Thursday — GBP GDP m/m · USD Core Retail Sales m/m · USD Initial Jobless Claims · USD PPI m/m · USD Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index · USD Retail Sales m/m · USD EIA Crude Oil Stocks Change
- Friday — GBP BoE Governor Bailey Speech · EUR CPI y/y · CAD BoC Governor Macklem Speech
The trades it didn't take
Restraint is most of the job. 2106 times this week a guard looked at an otherwise-valid entry and said no:
| 767× | shadow |
| 409× | declined new positions into the weekend gap |
| 237× | held entries while trading was paused or at its overall position limit |
| 167× | spread ceiling |
| 149× | skipped entries while a pair's spread was abnormally wide |
| 122× | stopped a second strategy taking a bet another strategy already held |
| 101× | stood aside where a pair was busier than that strategy is set to trade |
| 65× | made strategies wait after a stop-out before trading the same ground again |
| 64× | held entries around scheduled high-impact releases |
| 20× | held back entries where a pair already had its allowed number of positions |
| 3× | refused entries that would have stacked pairs that move together |
| 2× | event spike guard |
Counts across the whole fleet. Every refusal is recorded and replayed later against what the market did, so the guards are priced rather than presumed — the method is written up in what our own risk guards actually cost.

SentryQ is built to be an assistant, not a slot machine — observant, restrained, and improving in the open. This page is generated each Monday from the platform's own records: activity counts, calendar entries and release titles. Nothing here is a performance claim, a forecast, or advice.
