Trade report, 9 October 2026: the rebound, one trade

One long SP500 position, held through the US open and closed 2 h 53 min before the cash close: +5.0 points, commission only, no loss. The quiet days are part of the record too.

Platform time UTC+3. Every figure comes from the trading account's closed-position history. Returns for XFX investors are produced by Darwinex's risk engine and differ from these numbers — see the last section.

The loss, first

The loss, first: none on 9 October

No losing trade on 9 October. The day had one position: long SP500 at 7,806.1 at 11:50, 4 h 40 min before the US open, closed at 7,811.1 at 20:07, 3 h 37 min into the cash session and 2 h 53 min before the close — +5.0 points, commission only, nothing held overnight. The S&P 500 cash index went on to close at 7,811.54, within half a point of the exit.

What the record shows: a day like this is the ordinary texture of the strategy — one position, a small gain, no cost of carry. Darwinex's statistics for XFX (66 % winning trades over 8,191 trades, average duration about 22 hours) are made of many such days; the larger losses, when they come, are reported the same way, first.

  • The position was opened at 11:50, in the European morning, after the 8 October overnight basket had been closed at 07:30 (reported in the previous day's report).

Market context

On Friday 9 October the S&P 500 closed at 7,811.54 (+0.59 %), the Nasdaq Composite at 27,366.17 (+0.64 %) and the Dow at 51,654.95 (+0.83 %): a technology-led rebound after Thursday's pullback, with stocks touching intraday highs on reports of a Russian diesel-supply agreement. The 10-year Treasury yield ended near 5.24 %; WTI crude settled at $91.45 and Brent stayed above $104. The University of Michigan's preliminary October consumer sentiment fell to 46.3 from 48.1.

Costs of the day

Commission on the single position; no overnight financing and no dividend adjustments (the adjustments credited at 00:27 belong to the 8 October overnight basket and were counted there). Costs took 1.7 % of the day's gross trading result. They are part of the record, so they are part of every report.

What XFX investors saw

DARWIN XFX replicates this account's positions through Darwinex's risk engine, which targets a monthly value-at-risk of 6.5 % (95 %) and scales position sizes accordingly. An investor's result for 9 October is therefore the change in the DARWIN's quote, published on the XFX page at Darwinex, not the figures above. That is also why these reports are written in points, not currency: points describe the trading; the DARWIN's quote describes the investment.
