Generated: 2026-07-16 16:02 SGT

Mode: Read-only. No trades, order instructions, account state, or strategy rules were changed.

Portfolio source of truth: **DEGRADED — the current Codex Interactive Brokers connector/app tools are not exposed in this run.** No stale portfolio file or obsolete local endpoint was used as live data. The 14:02 SGT connector snapshot below is retained only as clearly labeled prior-run context.

## HK Hourly Risk Monitor - 16:02 SGT

**DEGRADED STATUS — IMMEDIATE MANUAL CHECK REQUIRED.** The IBKR app is installed and visible, but its portfolio/query actions are not callable in this automation session. Live positions, closing prices, balances, NAV, margin, daily P/L, option exposure, and order state therefore could not be refreshed. Do not treat the 14:02 SGT readings below as current.

### Manual checks now

1. **9988 covered calls and concentration:** confirm the closing 9988 price against the short Aug 28 110 and 122.5 calls, verify all calls remain covered, and review the intended assignment/upside cap. At 14:02 SGT, 9988 was HKD 118.10, the 110 calls were 7.4% ITM, and 9988 represented 53.1% of HK stock value.
2. **700 option assignment risk:** confirm the closing distance to the short Aug 28 440 puts and 510/530 calls. At 14:02 SGT, the 440 puts carried HKD 88,000 assignment notional.
3. **Margin and daily P/L:** verify excess liquidity, maintenance margin, NAV, and the final HK sleeve daily P/L directly in IBKR.
4. **Orders:** verify the previously observed 9988 put buy-to-close and 823 call sell orders remain intended; this run could not confirm their current status.

### Current news context

Agent-reach via Exa found the Hang Seng Index above 25,000 at noon, up about 1.9%, with Alibaba up about 4.8% after confirmed Qwen integration into Apple Intelligence services in China. Tencent was reported up about 2.2% earlier in the session. This positive catalyst can increase covered-call assignment/upside-cap pressure, but it does not replace a live portfolio check. No verified major adverse company-specific shock was found in this lightweight scan.

### Current news context

Agent-reach via Exa found Alibaba shares up about 5% intraday after Alibaba confirmed Qwen integration into Apple Intelligence services in China. The Hang Seng Index was reported up about 1.9% at noon, led by technology shares. This positive catalyst can increase covered-call assignment/upside-cap pressure, but it does not replace a live portfolio check. No verified major adverse company-specific shock was found in this lightweight scan.

## HK Hourly Risk Monitor - 14:04 SGT

**IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED — manual review only.** 9988 Alibaba is HKD 118.10, about 7.4% above the three short Aug 28 110 call strikes. Those calls show about HKD 14,571 unrealized loss and HKD 4,884 daily loss. This is a covered-call assignment/upside-cap and concentration alert, not a margin emergency.

### Live risk snapshot

| Item | 14:04 SGT reading |
|---|---:|
| Account net liquidation | SGD 753,688 |
| Available funds | SGD 506,574 |

| Active HK sleeve daily P/L | HKD +36,945 |

Margin remains comfortable: excess liquidity is 2.37x maintenance margin and available funds are about 67% of account NAV.

### Immediate manual checks

1. **9988 Aug 28 110 calls:** 7,000 shares at HKD 118.10; short 3 calls are 7.4% ITM. Confirm the intended assignment/upside cap. The displayed 9988 calls remain share-covered. Versus 13:02 SGT, the calls' unrealized loss improved by about HKD 760.
2. **9988 concentration:** HKD 826,700 market value, 53.1% of the HK stock sleeve. Separate US-listed BABA exposure increases total issuer concentration beyond this HK-only figure.
3. **9988 Aug 28 122.5 calls:** short 2 calls are about 3.6% OTM and show about HKD 3,542 unrealized loss. The short 2x Aug 28 95 puts are about 19.6% OTM with HKD 95,000 assignment notional.
4. **700 Tencent options:** 700 shares at HKD 485.40. Short 3x 510 calls are about 5.1% OTM and short 2x 530 calls are about 9.2% OTM; all displayed calls are covered. Short 2x 440 puts are about 9.4% OTM with HKD 88,000 assignment notional.
5. **Open HK orders:** live orders still include a buy-to-close limit for 2x 9988 Aug 28 95 puts and a sell limit for 2x 823 Aug 28 40 calls. Two 700 Aug 28 530 call orders remain REPLACED, not active NEW orders. No order was created, modified, or cancelled by this monitor. Manually confirm the NEW orders remain intended.
