Build Log — October 16, 2026

We noticed today that our Alpaca Crypto Grid bot had a down day, with most trades ending up in a loss. This aligns with our expectation of increased volatility in the market over the last few days. We've been monitoring the bot's performance closely and have identified some areas where we need to tweak the grid parameters to better handle rapid price movements.

On the Kraken Grid + Swing bot, it sat out today, resulting in a roughly flat day. This was expected as the bot is designed to be more conservative during periods of low volatility. We're reviewing the logic behind its decision-making process to ensure it's correctly identifying trading opportunities without taking unnecessary risks.

Next up: we'll focus on optimizing the grid parameters for our Alpaca Crypto Grid bot to improve its performance in volatile markets.
