Software Engineer × Markets.
Building tools. Testing ideas. Sharing what I learn.

[Market Lab @MarketLabDev]

I’m a software engineer who spends way too much time thinking about markets.

I like taking trading ideas that sound good, building a way to test them, and seeing what actually holds up.

Sometimes that turns into a backtest. Sometimes a scanner. Sometimes a tool. Sometimes I just learn something interesting and write it down.

I’m going to share the useful stuff here.

No pretending I have the market figured out. I’m just curious, I like building things, and I’d rather test an idea than argue about it.

Welcome to Market Lab.

Initially the team thought I was not being serious…..
But, it just had to be a gold.

Good morning! Oct. 18: U.S. stocks are closed. Iran says its conditional Hormuz reopening proposal remains on the table - not a deal. For $SPY and $QQQ, I’m watching energy headlines and the coming week’s earnings. S&P 500 futures reopen at 5 p.m. CT.

[Market Lab @MarketLabDev]

@RensingTrades Agreed but however low you think stocks can go, double it

How is everyone doing today? 👀💰

@stevenfiorillo Arby’s was done dirty here S tier forsure

Good morning! Today’s PPI report (Oct. 15): September producer prices rose 1.3% month over month vs. 0.5% expected (Econoday). That’s a hotter inflation reading than hoped. My takeaway for $SPY and $QQQ: it gives the Fed more reason to stay cautious about cutting rates.

[Market Lab @MarketLabDev]

Good morning! Oct. 14: September core CPI rose 0.3% month over month vs. 0.2% expected. S&P 500 futures turned lower after the report. For $SPY and $QQQ, I’m watching whether yields settle after the 8:30 a.m. CT open. Fed Beige Book at 1 p.m. CT.

[Market Lab @MarketLabDev]

Good morning! Oct. 13, 8:07 a.m. CT:

$SPY is -0.04% premarket and $QQQ -0.75%. Chips are the main drag as Nvidia, AMD and Micron fall, while Brent and WTI futures are down about 2%. Bank earnings are mixed; existing-home sales hit at 9:00 CT. Watching QQQ.

Good morning!

Oct. 12, 8:29 a.m. CT:

$SPY is +0.05% premarket while $QQQ is -0.11%. Oil is the pressure point—Brent and WTI futures were both up 1.2% at 6:24 a.m. CT as Gulf risks stayed elevated. Cash Treasurys are closed today; stocks open at 8:30.

@RealMattMoney Company match, rest in my taxable brokerage.

@SteveUrkelDude I sold in the 60’s - rotated to $RKLB not sure about this one anymore

[Market Lab @MarketLabDev]

Weekend market update (Oct. 10): U.S. markets are closed. Friday, $SPY gained 0.60% and $QQQ 0.49%, while Michigan sentiment fell to 46.3 and inflation expectations rose.

I’m watching oil and Gulf disruptions before Monday’s 8:30 a.m. CT stock-market open.

[Market Lab @MarketLabDev]

Good morning! Oct. 9 premarket: $SPY and $QQQ are higher as Brent and WTI crude futures ease and tech rebounds. I’m watching the 8:30 a.m. CT open, then Michigan sentiment at 9:00—especially inflation expectations. Hotter inflation expectations could lift yields.

[Market Lab @MarketLabDev]

@thybead Right! Or if they have bigger plans. We should find out on October 27th

$HOOD reports Q3 on Oct 27.

The bar: ~$0.50 EPS / ~$1.34B rev, vs $0.61 / $1.27B a year ago. Low because crypto is down ~38% YoY. But August showed equity volume +68%, options +50%, event contracts 15x, margin book +72%. The print will be about mix, not the beat.

[Market Lab @MarketLabDev]

Robinhood ($HOOD) put $25M of bitcoin on its balance sheet. Dec 2024: Tenev said holding BTC could 'complicate' the equity story. Nov 2025: 'pros and cons.' Oct 2026: a yes, at ~0.025% of market cap. A signal to the crypto crowd, not a treasury strategy.
