Reading the Weekly Report

Where this fits. The Sunday evening report from the pre-market pipeline. This concept walks through each section so a reader without trading background can understand what they're looking at.

What a weekly report is

The weekly report is the planning document for the coming five trading sessions. It comes out Sunday evening, before Monday's open, and it sets the posture for the week ahead.

If the daily report is backward-looking (what happened today, what does it mean), the weekly is forward-looking (what's the setup, what should we be ready for). The two pair: the daily tells you the current state; the weekly tells you the expected trajectory.

When it arrives

Sunday 19:00 Berlin local time, about an hour after the related Sunday Review (which runs at 18:00 and looks backward over the past week). Both fire before any market opens for the new week. Online under /reports/weekly.

Section by section

Header. The week's date range (e.g., "May 18 – 22, 2026"), the regime color, and the composite CMRF score. The regime here is the expected starting regime for the week, carried forward from Friday's close.

Regime read. A paragraph on the current composite, where each of the five components sits, and what would have to change to shift the regime. This is more analytical than the daily because it has to project across five sessions, not summarize one.

What changed last week. Three to five bullet points on the most important shifts: breadth thrust faded, sentiment turned cautious, leadership rotated. These are the structural movements that explain why the regime is where it is.

Active strategies for the week. Which playbooks are live and at what size. The weekly is where the strategy mix gets set. A daily report mentions which strategies were active; the weekly is where the decision about which strategies to run gets made:

| Strategy | State | Notes | |----------|-------|-------| | CPA | Live | 3 active positions, 1 at runner stage | | HVE | Live | Reduced size to 0.5R per setup | | 4B-MINUS | Standby | No qualifying setups this week |

Risk posture. Risk level (1/2/3 on an internal scale), maximum position size, maximum concurrent positions, stop discipline for the week. This is the single most important sizing decision and it lives in the weekly. The daily report can tighten it intra-week, but the baseline is set here.

What to watch. Three to five things that could change the week's read. A macro release on Thursday, a level on SPY, an earnings cluster mid-week. These are the gates that would shift the regime up or down.

How it differs from the daily

The daily report says "today's tape did X, the regime moved to Y." The weekly report says "expect the regime to start at X, here's what would push it to Y or Z."

Two consequences:

1. The weekly is more committal. It sets the sizing and strategy mix for five sessions in advance. The daily can react to the next day's tape, but the weekly establishes the baseline.
2. The weekly is more analytical. It explains not just where the regime is but why, and what the dependencies are. The daily can be terse; the weekly is where the reasoning goes on the record.

How to read it efficiently

Sunday evening, ten-minute read:

1. Note the regime and composite — your starting posture for the week.
2. Read "What changed last week" — the most useful section if you only have a minute.
3. Check active strategies + risk posture — that's your sizing for the week.
4. Skim "What to watch" — set price alerts for the levels mentioned.

Then re-read on Tuesday morning before the open, because by then you'll have Monday's daily report to compare against and the weekly's projection will look different in hindsight.

Common signatures

Regime + strategies aligned. When the regime is GRÜN+ and four or five strategies are live at full size, the weekly is calling a press-the-edge week. Most setups will work; size up where the rules allow.

Regime constructive but strategies on standby. When the composite is positive but most strategies are listed as "standby," the regime is fine but the specific setup conditions aren't there. Reduce size, look for quality, expect a quiet week.

Risk level tightening week over week. A risk level moving from 1 to 2 to 3 over consecutive weekly reports is the system de-risking ahead of a regime change. The composite may still be positive when this is happening — the structural read is leading.

A long "what to watch" list. When the weekly flags five or six gates instead of two or three, the week is event-driven. Earnings cluster, macro releases, a Fed meeting. Expect the daily reports to adjust the posture mid-week.

What it doesn't include

The weekly doesn't pick winners. It sets the regime and the strategies; the actual candidate names come from the daily reports during the week. You won't find "buy NVDA on Tuesday" in a weekly — that's not what the document is for.

It also isn't a forecast of where the market is going. The regime is the current read carried forward; if the read changes during the week, the daily reports adjust the posture in real time. The weekly is a starting point, not a binding plan.
