Daily workflow, how to read a play card, position-sizing framework. Bookmark this page; this is the manual.
Daily workflow
What to do, when. Designed to fit in ~30 min/day.
Morning routine (7:00–7:30am PT)
7:00
Open eystockholdings.com/scout
First thing — check the Plays page. Read STRONG section (top). Each card answers: ticker / strike / expiry / action verb / why / when to enter.
7:05
Cross-check signal freshness
Top-right of /scout shows 'Refreshed Xm ago'. If green, data is fresh. If orange/red, the daemon didn't run; trust nothing.
7:10
Skim /signals for conviction context
Each ticker has aggregated conviction score from all active signals. If a scout play has 3 reinforcing signals (multi-signal boost), it's high conviction. If only 1 signal, look at win rate of that signal first.
7:15
Read /serenity for external view
Her latest take + thesis baseline. If she's posted something new on a ticker scout is recommending, that's a triple-confirmation moment.
7:20
Set limit orders, not market
Scout shows a target entry price (e.g. ASML 'on red-day pullback'). Set a LIMIT order at that price in Robinhood. If it doesn't fill by midday, the setup decayed; cancel.
Midday check (11:30am–12:30pm PT)
11:30
Scout reruns with fresh UW data
12:05pm refresh picks up midday dark pool + flow updates. STRONG plays from morning often reconfirm; if gone, the setup decayed.
11:45
Check 'Decisions required' banner
Top of /scout shows ±50% threshold legs. These are positions that crossed your decision line — must act before close.
12:00
If a morning play didn't fill, drop it
Don't chase. If you set a limit at $74 and ASML is now $82, the entry is gone. Wait for next setup.
Pre-close (12:30–1:00pm PT)
12:30
Roll/close decision window
Any leg approaching ITM/expiry → decide. Roll up-and-out for credit if thesis intact, BTC for income if you're past 50% profit.
12:50
Check /risk for budget gauges
Sub-30-DTE options budget (≤$10K). If you're close to cap, don't add new short-dated plays.
EOD review (1:30–2:00pm PT)
1:30
income_engine_eod runs
Quick Telegram summary if anything crossed ±50% threshold. Otherwise silent.
1:45
/journal — quick win-rate scan
P&L by signal donut: which signals are paying off this week? If GEX_FLIP is +$5K but UW_FLOW is -$2K, you know which to lean into.
Weekly review (Friday EOD)
Lifecycle widget on Dashboard
Any signal promoted PAPER → SMALL this week? That's a new pattern earning its place. Any RETIRED? That was a signal bleeding money — engine cut it for you.
Equity curve on Dashboard
Cumulative shadow P&L since inception. If trending up, the engine is making money on paper — you should be too if you took the picks. If diverging from your actual book, you're missing alpha.
Strategy Evolution analysis
Run python3 -m runner.strategy_evolution analyze. Surfaces parameter tunes the data is telling us to make (e.g. add 5-day time stop on GEX_FLIP losers).
Reading a play card
Every element on a /scout card decoded.
Tier badge
T1-RH = your Robinhood 27 watchlist. OWNED = you already hold it. EXTRA = added 2026-05-23 (HUMN, OUST, etc.). T2-ACTIVE = the broader active watchlist. T3-UW = full UW-tracked universe.
Council badge (STRONG / PASS / HOLD)
3 specialists (macro / fundamentals / technicals) vote. STRONG = 3/3 agree. PASS = 2/3. HOLD = mixed, needs more confirmation. STRONG is the only 'take today' tier.
Action verb (big mono text)
Exactly what to type into Robinhood: 'Sell to open INTC $109P 6/5'. Copy-paste-able.
Entry price + 'on red-day pullback'
The premium scout calculated. For long calls, wait for a red overall day (SPY -0.5%+) before entering. For CSPs, set a GTC limit at the suggested premium.
4-stat row (Premium / Cost / DTE / Win-rate)
Cost = total capital deployed for the play. Win-rate = historical shadow rate for the signal source. DTE = days to expiration.
BTC target (CSPs)
Buy-to-close at 50% profit. Don't wait for expiration — close early, redeploy capital.
If assigned (CSPs)
Effective cost basis if the put expires ITM and you get assigned 100 shares. Always a discount to current spot.
Target / Stop (long calls)
Target +80% = trim 50% there to lock half profit. Stop -50% = full exit at half the premium gone.
Position sizing framework
Concentration vs diversification — the rule for sizing into new plays.
CORE (50% of port, ~$137K)
Structural-moat compounders. 3+ year holds. Thesis-violation exits only.
LITE, AAOI, ALAB, AVGO core thesis
COMPOUND (25%, ~$69K)
1-2 year high-conviction bets. Trim 25% at +100% from entry, hold the rest.
NBIS, MU, AXTI, BE
LOTTO (15%, ~$41K)
High-beta speculative. Trim 50% at +100% to take house money.
OUST, SIVE, HUMN, AGIX
CASH (10%, ~$28K)
Dry powder for pullback adds.
5 questions before taking a play
If you can't answer any of these, the play is too unclear. Adjust.
- Is this in my thesis? The engine filters this for you. Tier badge on the card tells you. T1-RH / OWNED / EXTRA = yes. Off-thesis = already dropped.
- Is the entry price viable RIGHT NOW? Scout was generated at some past timestamp. Check live ticker in Robinhood — if spot has moved >2%, recalibrate the entry.
- Do I have the cash/risk-budget? /risk page shows the sub-30-DTE options budget. If you're near cap, skip.
- What's the trigger to act now vs wait? Long calls: red day for entry. CSPs: hit-the-strike or annualized yield threshold. The card states it.
- What's the worst case? Long calls: stop -50% = max loss is half the premium paid. CSPs: assignment at strike (you own shares at effective cost below current).
