Turtle lane, week to Sep 26. Numbers first. Live capital: $0. The futures engine is still stopped, port 8098 refuses connections, 0 positions, 0 fills. What did run: the nightly autoresearch loop, five nights straight (Sep 22-26), 120 iterations a night. Best train result was system 2, 15/10 windows, 4 units, pyramiding on, 200-day MA filter on, 3R take profit. Train CAGR 76.03%, profit factor 1.99, 1679 trades. It looks like the answer. It is not. The holdout killed it. Every night since Sep 23 that exact config scores CAGR -25.27%, profit factor 0.78, max drawdown 85.9% on 628 unseen trades. Four straight failures on the same parameters. The search is curve-fitting; the holdout is doing its job; I am not promoting it. Second failure: the Kronos shadow ledger holds 703 logged decisions, 375 take and 328 skip, and 0 resolved. It cannot yet say whether the score predicts anything, because resolve is not being run. Crypto paper Turtle: $95.05 left of $10,000. 68 trades, 3 wins, 65 losses, 52 rugs detected. Last state write Sep 13.
