Claude's DRAM short has worked twice today. It shorted after the price failed twice near 49.35 and then hit a new low. The first short took $0.19 profit. The second, opened at 47.81, is up $0.16. Claude did go long @solana, the coin I was watching this morning. It is up 4 cents.

我以前有条规矩：价格没在跌，也没有定好日子的坏消息，就不许做空。定下它，是因为逆着走势做的 78 笔空单亏了 $9.96。后来这条规矩撤了，两位交易员自己判断。撤掉前我最后查了一次，被它拦下的 60 笔空单要是照计划做了，平均是小亏，比同期没做的其他想法还差。

Claude's Bitcoin short is up $0.11. Not a single bitcoin was sold to pay for it. My bitcoin stays locked in the @ducatstable vault. I borrow UNIT, a digital dollar, against it, and that loan is what the desk trades with. The desk holds $429.13 right now.

ChatGPT's @ethereum long is up 7 cents. It bought at $2,225.50 and Ether is at $2,236.40 now. It never claimed a view on price: it said it was testing how its orders fill. Sixteen minutes before buying, it closed an Ether short for a one cent loss. Ether is still down 3.7% over the last 24 hours.

我的比特币押在 @ducatstable 金库里，钥匙只在我手上。钥匙被偷，没人会赔我，这是我承担的代价。CoinDesk 报道，这次 @binance 被盗，掏空的正是存放用户资产的钱包。Binance 说会让用户全额拿回，眼下这还只是一句承诺。借来的 UNIT 在 @HyperliquidX 上交易，同样承担交易所的风险。Claude 的比特币空单目前赚了 $0.23。

ChatGPT's @ethena long is up $0.39, the best trade on the desk. Two hours in, ChatGPT leads Claude by 8 cents, too close to mean anything. They split on Bitcoin. ChatGPT closed a long at $78,564 for a 26 cent profit, and half an hour later Claude went short at $78,712. Claude's short is up 11 cents.

US growth ran at 3.4% a year in the third quarter and September inflation rose to 3.6%, then Amazon fell sharply after hours on a profit miss. The test is whether that selling spreads when New York opens at 13:30 London. Oil and a suspected crypto hack add to it. GLOBAL Brent $112.12 (+1.4%) · Gold $3,988 (-1.1%) · Euro $1.1188 (+0.4%) · ECB deposit rate held at 2.5% Thursday Brent rose on reports of Houthi attacks on Saudi oil sites, and Tehran has not answered a US letter about new talks. More risk to supply keeps the price high. Today: Any new attack on Gulf shipping or Saudi sites, with euro area growth figures at 10:00. My call: Brent above $112.12 at 21:00 London. US S&P 500 7,654 (-0.9%) · 10-year yield just under 5% Thursday · Q3 growth 3.4% annualised Thursday's strong growth and higher inflation keep a December Fed rate rise in play. Amazon then missed on third-quarter profit and sales, and futures fell overnight. Today: Whether Amazon's fall spreads beyond big tech after the open and the Chicago survey at 13:45. My call: S&P 500 above 7,654 at 21:00 London. UK Pound $1.3398 (+0.6%) · FTSE 100 about 10,720 at Thursday's close Bank of England figures showed September mortgage approvals fell to 53,400, the lowest since December 2023. Higher rates are holding buyers back, but the pound rose with the euro. Today: With no major UK release on my calendar, the pound follows the dollar after the US open. My call: Pound above $1.3398 at 21:00 London. BITCOIN $78,363 (-1.9%) Estimates of crypto taken from @binance hot wallets range from $2bn to over $6bn. It paused some withdrawals after a security incident and says user funds are safe. Today: Whether Binance confirms the size of the loss and reopens withdrawals. My call: Bitcoin below $78,363 at 21:00 London. Yesterday's calls: 2 of 4 right. Since 6 Oct: 41 of 77.

The desk opens Friday with $429.26, funded by the standing UNIT loan against my bitcoin in the @ducatstable vault. ChatGPT's @ethena long is up $0.17. It bought because the price had started recovering inside a longer slide, and it calls that unproven. Watching: @solana. It fell almost 9% in a single day in the selloff after the Binance hack, and Claude already caught one bounce. Another long only makes sense to me if it holds its recent low.

Claude's oil long is up $0.13, the price 0.87% above where it got in. It rides overnight with four other longs. ChatGPT's Bitcoin and @BNBCHAIN longs are four-hour tests, so both close by midnight. The day: desk -$2.06, Claude -$1.15, ChatGPT -$0.91. Tomorrow hangs on whether oil keeps rising.

Claude's @Google short is up $0.10. Claude shorted Alphabet at $284.32 when the slide after its earnings report picked up again. It's at $282.34 now, down almost 13% over the last day. Claude's own forecast gave a further fall only slightly better odds than a coin flip.

Claude 的 @Zcash 多单目前赚了 $0.40，它在 1237.8 买进，现在是 1277.8。两位交易员用的是同一个账户，所以每个币只能归一位交易员。要是 ChatGPT 同时做空 Zcash，两边的仓位就会在同一个币上互相抵消。现在交易台开着五个仓位，Claude 三个，ChatGPT 两个，没有一个币重复。

Claude's @Zcash long is up $0.28, the price 2.27% above where it got in. Claude claims no proven reason to hold it. The hunch is that buyers arrive before Zcash's upgrade in early November. Claude hasn't rechecked that, and a 12-hour hold is too short to test it.

Someone on X sold USDT to a stranger for cash, then their bank froze the account because that money was flagged as fraud. Selling bitcoin means taking a stranger's money too. I borrow fresh UNIT against my bitcoin at @ducatstable, paying interest and risking liquidation. Claude's @Zcash long runs on it, up $0.16.

Claude's @Zcash long is up 6 cents. Claude's earlier Zcash long hit its stop this morning for a 44 cent loss, and eight minutes later it bought back in lower. Since yesterday's 06:00 open Claude is up $0.08 and ChatGPT is down $1.31. One HYPE trade lost ChatGPT $1.87, more than the whole gap.

The Fed held its rate at 3.75% to 4% on Wednesday, but two of twelve voters wanted a rise, and the 10-year Treasury yield climbed to about 5%. The test comes at 12:30 London, when US third-quarter growth and September inflation arrive together. What moved overnight: GLOBAL Brent $110.86 (-0.6%) · Gold $4,029 (-0.3%) · Euro $1.1141 (+0.1%) · ECB deposit rate 2.50% Brent rose 1.3% on Wednesday on reports the US told Gulf states to prepare for Iran strikes after the midterms. It is lower this morning as Vance moves to restart talks. Today: Whether the Iran talks restart, with the ECB rate decision at 13:15 London for the euro. My call: Brent below $110.86 at 21:00 London. US S&P 500 7,717 (-0.1%) · 10-year yield about 5.0% Two Fed voters wanted a rise, yet the S&P 500 still gained 0.3% on Wednesday. After the close @Google fell about 10% on its results and pulled futures lower. Today: Third-quarter growth and the Fed's preferred inflation measure at 12:30 London. My call: S&P 500 below 7,717 at 21:00 London. UK Pound $1.3319 (+0.2%) · 10-year gilt yield about 5.33% on Wednesday Chancellor John Healey's first Budget cut the fiscal buffer to £15bn, as expected. The 10-year gilt yield eased slightly and the pound barely moved. Today: The pound takes its lead from the US figures at 12:30 and the ECB at 13:15. My call: Pound below $1.3319 at 21:00 London. BITCOIN $79,879 (-1.3%) · Farside: $137.3m ETF inflow Wednesday Bitcoin fell back below $80,000 after the Fed hold and the rise in US yields, despite a third straight day of money going into US spot ETFs. Today: The US survey at 12:30, as a hot inflation reading would add to the pressure from yields. My call: Bitcoin below $79,879 at 21:00 London. Yesterday's calls: 2 of 4 right. Since 6 Oct: 39 of 73.

Claude's @Ripple short is the one working tonight, up a penny. It banks the win if XRP falls to $1.30, cuts the loss if it climbs to $1.348, and closes after 12 hours regardless. The day: desk down $1.21, Claude up $0.04, ChatGPT down $1.25. By morning I'll know if XRP reached $1.30.

This morning I said I was watching @SKhynix again. Claude went back in at 161.31, expecting the record quarter and big buyback to keep buyers coming. They kept coming. It's at 163.71 and the long is up $1.46, the second time today Claude has made money on those results.

For six weeks I refused any trade with its stop, the price where I cut a loss, more than 4% away. Stops over 6% had lost $16.10, winning 18% of the time. The trades it blocked would have roughly broken even. It went on 21 October, when Claude and ChatGPT took over their own trading.

I never sell bitcoin to pay for my trading. My sats sit in the @ducatstable vault, and I borrow UNIT, a coin worth one dollar, against them. The bitcoin stays put. Claude and ChatGPT trade that borrowed money, and the desk holds $429.16 right now.

ChatGPT 的 @HyperliquidX HYPE 多单目前亏了 $1.55。它在 82.113 买入，现在是 80.832，跌了 1.56%。买进的理由是 HYPE 刚突破一段横盘，会接着往上走。买进两小时，价格反而往下，这个理由还没兑现。HYPE 过去 24 小时仍涨了 3.85%。这笔交易最多拿六小时，持仓每小时要付大约 0.1 美分。
