Auto-store when:
- Trade outcome surprises (win when expected loss, or vice versa)
- Repeated mistake (didn't recall previous lesson)
- Significant P&L impact (> 2% of capital)
- Emotional difficulty (fear, greed, revenge trading)
- New pattern recognition (setup never seen before)
Skip:
- Routine trades that went as expected
- Minor wins/losses within normal distribution
- Mechanical executions of proven setups

- Market data, ticker setup, sentiment
- recall(ticker, similar_setups) from mementum
ORIENT:
- Context: market_phase, regime, sector
- Pattern: does setup match learned patterns?
- Lessons: what did mementum teach about this?
DECIDE:
- Apply learned criteria
- Human ∧ AI validation
- If (setup matches ✅ pattern ∧ not matches ❌ pattern) → trade
ACT:
- Execute per rules
- Document: timestamp, reasoning, confidence
META (post-trade):
- Analyze outcome vs expectation
- Extract lesson if critical
- store(memory) if meets filter
- Update strategy if pattern-shift

# 2026-02-12-AAPL-fibonacci-support-💡.md
Setup: AAPL pulled back to 0.618 fib level at $175.80
Confluence: 50-day SMA + volume support + bullish divergence
Entry: $176.20, Stop: $174.50, Target: $182.00
Outcome: Hit target in 3 days, +3.3% gain
Lesson: 0.618 fib with 3+ confluence factors = high probability
Retest zone. Win rate on this pattern now 7/9 (78%).# 2026-02-10-market-regime-shift-🔄.md
Observed: VIX spike from 12 → 18, breadth divergence
Previous regime: Momentum/trending (worked for 6 weeks)
New regime: Mean-reversion/choppy (detected via failed breakouts)
Action: Reduce position sizes by 50%, tighten stops, favor
fade setups instead of breakout entries. Exit momentum longs.# 2026-02-11-TSLA-earnings-fade-🎯.md
Setup: TSLA post-earnings gap up +8% on heavy volume
Decision: Fade the gap (short at $245, cover at $238)
Reasoning: Earnings gaps >5% on TSLA have faded 11/14 times
Risk: 1% of capital, stopped at $248
Outcome: Covered at $239 next day, +2.4% gain
Validated pattern, added to playbook.# 2026-02-09-revenge-trading-awareness-🌀.md
Observation: After -2% loss on NVDA, immediately entered
MSFT trade without full analysis. Lost another -1.5%.
Pattern: Emotional trading after losses leads to worse decisions.
Have done this 4 times now (all resulted in additional losses).
Rule: After any loss >1%, mandatory 30-min break before next trade.
No exceptions. Psychology > strategy.# 2026-02-08-ignored-stop-loss-❌.md
Setup: QQQ support bounce, entered $385, stop $382
Mistake: Didn't exit at stop, held hoping for recovery
Outcome: Eventually exited at $378, -1.8% instead of -0.8%
Lesson: ALWAYS honor stops. Hope is not a strategy.
Cost of this mistake: -1% additional loss.
This is the 2nd time - CANNOT happen again.# 2026-02-07-SPY-opening-range-breakout-✅.md
Setup: SPY consolidated in tight 30-min opening range
Entry: Breakout at $529.50, stop $528.80, target $532.00
Volume: 2x average on breakout
Outcome: Hit target in 45 minutes, +0.47% gain
Confirmation: Opening range breakouts with 2x volume
continue to work. Now 12/15 (80%) win rate on this setup.Initialize trading mementum:
