Turtle Trading Rules Explained: N, Units, Breakouts and Stops

The Turtle trading rules form a mechanical trend-following system built on Donchian channel breakouts for entries and volatility-based position sizing. The author walks through each rule as stated in the 2003 'Original Turtle Trading Rules' PDF, using worked examples. N, the 20-day Wilder average of true range, underpins most other rules, and position units are sized so that a 1N move equals 1% of the account. Entries occur on breakouts of 20- or 55-day highs and lows, with unit additions every half N and stops set 2N away. The post also notes six points where the original PDF leaves decisions to the trader, and reports that the author's backtest of these rules on 26 Exness markets from 2020 to 2026 lost 57.7%.

Measuring How Long a Silent Failure Lasted Requires Bounded Start and End Points

A blog post examines what it takes to turn a 'time broken before detection' figure into a valid duration. The author argues that a duration needs a bounded start, a bounded end, and persistent evidence to read both from. Using a machine whose push attempts failed for forty days, the post shows how timestamps in logs and repository history can date the window. It also warns that counts of retry events are not the same as spans of time, a common source of inflated durations. The author stresses that durable version-control history is the strongest evidence for silent failures.

mnemoa Tool Flags Stale and Redundant Lines in AI Coding Agent Instruction Files

The developer built mnemoa, a Rust-based tool that scans AI coding agent instruction files such as AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md to find outdated, duplicated, or contradictory guidance. It checks for overly long instructions, broken paths and commands, plans that have drifted from the code, and rules that linters or formatters could enforce instead. The tool produces a dry-run prune plan with estimated token costs and can convert rules into enforceable checks, logging each change in a ledger. Deterministic checks run locally, while an optional LLM feature is disabled by default, and it supports seven coding agents along with a CLI, HTTP API, Python SDK, and GitHub Action. The developer is seeking feedback on which findings prove useful and which are noisy.

Managers Build Trust Through Follow-Through, Fairness and Honest Communication

Trust at work is shaped less by how much people like a manager than by how that manager responds when things go wrong. Missed commitments, especially when left unexplained, can quickly turn small problems into credibility issues. The article recommends being transparent about changing decisions, applying expectations consistently and explaining the reasoning behind them, and following through on promises or flagging delays early. It also argues that addressing problems directly is better than avoiding hard conversations, and that owning mistakes with a clear plan for change helps repair trust when consistent action follows.
