HSI Reclaim Debit — Playbook

ROOT operating system. Small debit → room to wait → short = named → bounded exit. Story date = horizon_deadline. ALWAYS (wait): expiry > horizon_deadline. NEVER (wait): expiry = story date. Scalp (today / flat 16:00) does not use that rule. Ask type first: new ticket, open manage, or idea review. A new ticket prints Table 1 as Field | Value and Table 2 scenario marks (50% DTE at named is an estimate; expiry at named is intrinsic). Field list is in lean.md. Manage prints keep|flatten | NATURAL% | vs named | vs stop | vs deadline | milestone. Default limit is mid or mid−1. Hard max stays mid+1. CONSIDER_EXIT is notify only, not a sell instruction.

CORE — Pre-budgeted small debit for a bounded chance to monetize a named level / directional move before a fixed deadline — without predicting the exact arrival time, but with economics tested for both early and late arrival. Short = expiry payoff-cap boundary, not guaranteed pre-expiry cash-out. Target touch → exit decision; P&L = executable credit after costs. Debit = the wall. Small debit ≠ small account risk. Within expiry is mandatory (European: mid-path touch is an exit decision if you flatten on/near tag, or settlement still favorable — waiting ≠ ignore expiry).

Persona: 平價 (small/fair debit, not fat ATM) · 等得到 (no timestamp prophecy; wait inside DTE) · 岩方向 (named level / short) · 有牆 (debit spread, whole-combo). Propose the ticket first, then label. 照開倉條款做；要改故事，先平倉.

Hierarchy: ROOT → case (Wait default, Scalp declared separately) → packaging → ops. v1.8.11 · ticket #802 (parents #801, #797, #795). crash_tail micro cap HK$800 (warning, not a silent NO-GO).

EXIT PRECEDENCE: (1) invalidation or deadline → flatten (2) frozen case TP (3) keep. Confirmed flat before re-open. Stop −35% on the natural path. +20% is a notify, not a must-exit. TWS primary; watchdog second. Max 1 open — 2-slot not allowed. Bounce: keep or flatten only (no roll, no switch). Classifier: wait|scalp · reclaim|crash_tail · GO|NO-GO|pass · manage keep|flatten.

Parked: Patient, job, balance_wait200 (200 = underlying pts; 400–800 OTM + ~400-wide puts the short 800–1,200 from spot), scalp_flush (use case_type=scalp), upper TP band, Banker / Runner. Fib stays a note under reclaim.

LEAN stack — TradeScope = eyes (charts only). This VPS = rules + ledger SoT. Human on IB = hands (fills). Grok Bot = design, not every check. No TradeScope↔ledger bridge. Clients must not keep a divergent local ledger as SoT. Frozen cool-off / one-open / case / horizon / lower TP live only on /ledger*. lean.md · API guide

ROOT operating system Small debit → room to wait → short = named → bounded exit. Destination + rough timing → one wait ticket. No clock prophecy. Story date = horizon_deadline. ALWAYS (wait): expiry > horizon_deadline. NEVER (wait): expiry = story date. Rebuild that ticket. Scalp (today / flat 16:00) does not use that rule. Change the story → flatten first. 平價 · 等得到 · 岩方向 · 有牆. 照開倉條款做；要改故事，先平倉.

ROOT (locked — tickets #797 + #801)

1. I state a destination: a named level plus rough timing or structure (trendline, reclaim, path — story only).
2. You propose one defined-risk debit before you classify: small/fair debit, short = that named level, room to wait, wall = the debit.
3. Bounded wait: the story date binds horizon_deadline, with −35% on the natural path and the 2-session time stop. No clock prophecy. Within expiry is mandatory. The contract expiry is a later calendar date than that deadline.
4. Story change → flat first. 口號：照開倉條款做；要改故事，先平倉.
5. Order of work: propose the ticket first, then label packaging. The label must not block the proposal.

Pre-budgeted small debit for a bounded chance to monetize a named level before a fixed deadline — without predicting the exact arrival time, with economics tested for early and late arrival. Short = expiry payoff-cap boundary, not a guaranteed cash-out. Target touch → exit decision. P&L = executable credit after costs. Debit = the wall. Small debit ≠ small account risk.

Within expiry is mandatory (European: a mid-path touch is an exit decision if you flatten on or near the tag, or settlement is still favorable — waiting ≠ ignore expiry). Early arrival is a tag before the story date. Late arrival is a tag after the story date and before expiry.

Persona: 平價 (small/fair debit, not fat ATM) · 等得到 (no timestamp prophecy; wait inside DTE; expiry is later than the story date) · 岩方向 (named level / short) · 有牆 (debit spread, whole-combo).

Scalp is the exception — declare it separately. It is not CORE.

Propose first

Given a named destination + rough timing, answer in this order:

named → horizon_deadline (story) → expiry (> deadline) → strikes / debit / −35% / 1-lot → packaging reclaim|crash_tail

1. named_level (short = named). Instrument: cash-settled HSI index options.
2. horizon_deadline (the story timing; not the option expiry).
3. expiry — for wait, the calendar date must be later than horizon_deadline. NEVER (wait): expiry = story date. ALWAYS (wait): expiry > horizon_deadline.
4. strikes / debit / −35% stop / debit cap / 1 lot.
5. then packaging (reclaim | crash_tail).

Then GO or pass on economics. Never pass only because the label is crash. Any wait card with expiry ≤ the story date is invalid and must be rebuilt. Scalp (today / flat 16:00) does not use the expiry>story-date rule.

Two stations on one trendline = one story, one named — the near station. Flat before opening the far station.

Agent playbook-check response (#801 fields, #802 render)

Classify the ask first: new ticket | open manage | idea review.

New ticket. Print Table 1 as Field | Value, one row per field, in this order: 日期, 結構, 到期, 剩餘日, 現貨, named_level, horizon_deadline, bid/ask/mid, natural, 建議限價, 限價Debit, Max虧, 本金, NAV%, 闊度, −35% stop, GO/NO-GO. Do not print a single wrapping pipe header and value line. Packaging is a one-line footnote after Table 1, not a row.

Then print Table 2. Required rows: 50% DTE at named (estimate; name the assumption; not a fill guarantee) and Expiry at named (intrinsic). Bear put: clamp(long_strike − spot, 0, width). Bull call: clamp(spot − long_strike, 0, width). HKD = pts × 50. vs entry uses 限價Debit. When short = named, expiry at that spot is the width. Max利 is that expiry row, not a Table 1 row.

Verdict cell: GO, NO-GO, or pass, plus one short reason when it is not GO. Max虧 = full debit + ~HK$120. 建議限價 defaults to mid or mid−1. Do not put Book (T/P), case_type, wait_reason, VHSI, A/B score, thin-meat?, or Max利 in Table 1.

Open manage. Short row only:

keep|flatten | NATURAL% | vs named | vs stop | vs deadline | milestone

keep|flatten only. CONSIDER_EXIT is notify only, not a sell instruction.

Idea review. No POST /check. 平價 · 等得到 · 岩方向 · 有牆, each ✓ or ✗. Result PASS | FAIL | N/A. Decision: do not open | rebuild card | open with Table 1 and Table 2. Manage and idea review do not print Table 2.

Two-minute checklist

1. Book: Tactical. 1-lot weekly debit. Width ~100, DTE 4–10, long 0–80 OTM. Side bull_call | bear_put, same gates mirrored.
2. Case, frozen. wait or scalp. No mid-hold flip.
3. Wait. named_level + wait_reason=reclaim_tag + horizon tomorrow | by expiry + an explicit horizon_deadline (the story clock) that is a calendar date before expiry. Wire token is by expiry. by expiry does not copy the contract date onto the deadline. Frozen lower_tp_pct is backup only.
4. Scalp. Horizon today, flat by 16:00 HKT. No packaging label. The expiry>story-date rule does not apply.
5. Then packaging, on wait only. reclaim (default, near tag) or crash_tail (micro insurance, debit ≤ HK$800). Same wait_reason. Fib/divergence is a note, not a reason.
6. Gates. A / B ≥ 3 of 4 / C, panic-print, VHSI present and < 25, contract gate. These are reason text when they bite. They are not Table 1 rows.
7. Price. Mid and natural. Default limit mid or mid−1 (fill-cheaper, still fillable). Hard max mid+1 unless the user allows chase. Caps at the limit: debit ≤ HK$2,500 and ≤ 25% NAV. +20% is a notify, not a must-exit — it cannot clear ~HK$500 net.
8. Stop. −35% natural. TWS primary. Watchdog second. CONSIDER_EXIT is notify only.
9. Manage. Row B: keep | flatten. Whole combo. No split or scale-out. Cool-off after a stop. Max 1 open.
10. SoT. VPS ledger. TradeScope = eyes. IB = hands. Do not rewrite an open ticket.

EXIT PRECEDENCE

1. Invalidation or deadline → flatten (premium −35%, closer cash invalidation, 2 day time stop, or horizon_deadline).
2. Frozen case TP. Wait: named level first; on the tag, take more (+30–60% of debit). Scalp: % or intraday, flat by 16:00.
3. Else keep.

CLASSIFIER ENUMS

Never invent a job tree, roll, add-slot, change-short, partial reduce, Banker, Runner, or scale_mode.

LEAN

TradeScope = eyes. This VPS = rules + ledger. Human on IB = hands. No TradeScope↔ledger bridge. No TradeScope↔IB bridge. Triggers: check now has no job. manage is keep or flatten on the VPS. The assistant answer shape is the playbook-check section.

Parked

• Patient — NO-GO book_parked.
• balance_wait200 — dead. 200 = underlying index points. Long 400–800 OTM + width ~400 (400-wide) puts the short 800–1,200 from spot, not a 150–250 journey. /check → NO-GO reason=job_parked.
• scalp_flush — case_type=scalp, or 422 use case_type=scalp.
• job, upper-TP section, Banker / Runner, 2-slot, partials, rolls. Compass = directional bias only.
• After a TP, giveback = realised − new debit − ~HK$120. Still one open position.

v1.8.11

Display change on top of v1.8.10. Schema stays 1.8. Story date is still horizon_deadline. Wait expiry is still a later calendar date. A new ticket prints Table 1 Field | Value and Table 2 scenario marks (#802). An already-open ticket keeps the fields it was opened with.
