20 Jul 2026
Opening desk note for the public paper book: markets, book posture, and what we are watching next.
First public week for the Quant Eidolon paper book. The aim is a clear record of process, not a marketing narrative.
Markets
Quiet mid-summer tape across major equities. Rates and risk appetite set the tone more than any single headline shock.
Book
Paper capital only. This week was about establishing the public snapshot cadence: accounts labeled, fills logged, and language kept honest about simulation.
Sleeves
| Sleeve | Note |
|---|---|
| PEAD | Core equity sleeve. Watching post-print digestion, not day-one noise. |
| Equity momentum | Monthly cadence. No special event this week. |
| Risk parity | Multi-asset ballast (SPY / TLT / GLD / VNQ). |
| VIX reversion | Flat when calm. |
| Other | Smaller active sleeves unchanged. |
Risks / next week
Liquidity thins into summer. We treat paper fills as optimistic until proven otherwise in live conditions.
