💡 Korea Market 101 — KOSPI is Korea’s benchmark of large-cap stocks (think S&P 500 of Korea); KOSDAQ lists smaller, growth-oriented companies (closer to Nasdaq). ‘vs Peak’ shows how far the index sits below its recent high — a large negative number means a deep drawdown. USD/KRW matters enormously for foreign investors: if you invest in dollars, a rising USD/KRW (weaker won) eats into your returns even when stock prices hold, and sustained won weakness often coincides with foreign outflows from Korean equities.

Large-cap breadth: 8 up · 32 down (of 40)
⚠️ The index rose, but decliners outnumbered gainers — a concentration illusion driven by a few mega-caps (SK하이닉스, 삼성전자). The market felt weaker than the index suggests.
💡 Korea Market 101 — Today’s biggest large-cap winners and losers. When stocks in the same industry move together, money is rotating into (or out of) that sector. Korea’s index is heavily concentrated in semiconductors — Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix alone can drive the whole market.
🌡️ Regime & Risk Diagnosis
- Crash gate: 🔴 Blocking new entries
- 5-day index return -10.4% (threshold -8%) · 20-day realized vol 72.7 (threshold 40) — the system automatically resumes new entries once both metrics normalize.
💡 Korea Market 101 — Think of the ‘regime’ as market weather. RISK-OFF means investors are sheltering in cash rather than risk assets. ‘Realized volatility’ is a thermometer for how wildly prices swing — under 20 is calm, above 40 is panic territory. The ‘crash gate’ is our system’s traffic light: when the Korean market falls too fast, it turns red and the system stops buying on its own, then reopens automatically when conditions settle. (Note: the regime diagnosis text is produced in Korean by the engine.)

💡 Korea Market 101 — A scanner screens hundreds of Korean and US stocks daily and scores them on technical and fundamental criteria (max 100). ‘Target’ is the expected gain if the setup works; ‘Stop’ is the pre-committed maximum loss if it doesn’t — the system always defines the exit before entering. ‘Swing’ rides multi-day trends; ‘Squeeze’ waits for dormant stocks to break out. ‘Watching’ means signal registered but not bought; ‘Held’ means the system actually owns it. ⚠️ This is an algorithm’s candidate list, not investment advice. Korean stock names are shown in Korean.
🩺 System Health Check
- Risk gate: 🔴 Blocking new entries
- [KR Crash Gate] KOSPI 5일 -10.4% ≤ -8.0% — 지수 쇼크, 신규 진입 차단
- [KR Crash Gate] 실현변동성 20일 72.7 ≥ 40 — 패닉 국면, 신규 진입 차단
- Entry attempts blocked by the gate today: 58
💡 Korea Market 101 — The system audits itself daily. The ‘risk gate’ is the traffic light that stops buying during crashes; the ‘circuit breaker’ is an automatic brake that pauses trading after consecutive losses. A high blocked count is good news — it means the safety systems held back purchases on a dangerous day.
🤖 System Trading Status
No positions closed today.
4 open positions — average unrealized P&L -2.74% (0 winning / 4 losing)

💡 Korea Market 101 — ‘Closed’ = sold; ‘open’ = still held. Unrealized P&L assumes selling right now — nothing is locked in until sold. ‘STOP’ means the pre-set safety line was hit and the system sold automatically; ‘ROTATION_EXIT’ means it swapped into a stronger candidate. The one rule this system lives by: cut losses early and automatically, let winners run.
