TickerNameCloseActionAction Price Where to act — a buy-limit on a pullback or a buy-stop above resistance, not the current price. Sanity-check vs Close: on a held name, an action price stranded above the close means the queued level was set when the stock was higher — stale, awaiting reprice. Stop The risk-defined exit, set below the entry for a long (~1.2–1.8×ATR). A held long whose Stop sits at/above the Close is already below its stop — a stale box awaiting reprice. 1wk Model estimate of the likely price at this horizon — a forward projection, not a guarantee, and separate from the trade's Action Price or Stop. Where the ML estimator is enabled these are per-ticker calibrated forecasts (~80% coverage band) that are refreshed periodically and can drift between refreshes; otherwise they're interpolated from the signal's swing target. Confirm against the settled close. 4wk Model estimate of the likely price at this horizon — a forward projection, not a guarantee, and separate from the trade's Action Price or Stop. Where the ML estimator is enabled these are per-ticker calibrated forecasts (~80% coverage band) that are refreshed periodically and can drift between refreshes; otherwise they're interpolated from the signal's swing target.

MAGSRoundhill Magnificent Seven ETF72.57BUY72.5771.9472.98 (+0.6%)73.86 (+1.8%)78.36 (+8.0%)The Magnificent Seven basket turned back to BUY, trading above every moving average. It closed Tuesday at the day's low, a -0.55% dip on a record-Nasdaq session. That puts entry on weakness, with the four-week estimate paying about 2x the risk to a tight stop. It is the only row on the board that clears both the conviction floor and the payoff gate. OPERATIONAL: FailedBreakdown_Up_20D BUY cv72, scorecard bias -2 (SE-1, live) -> adj 70; trail BUY63 -> WATCH54 -> AVOID86 (ReversalDown_Overbought) -> BUY72, so this is a FRESH single print after a bearish one (stability caveat stated). Buy_Rank 2. Payoff_4W (73.86-72.57)/0.63 = 2.05x >= 1.5x (W3). W3/W5 corollary: the 0.50-ATR stop (71.94) is the fixed_with_time_stop constant, so the payoff is provisional. Close = day low 72.57 vs high 73.46: not a chase. Est_12W 78.36 > Est_4W 73.86 > close (SE-2 ok; still a <=4wk tactical swing). Y5: re-eligible because the close is above the 09-16 exit stop of 69.43. W6/V7: size 20% of conservative NAV = ->, size_mod 1.0. L8: MOO 09-23; reprice/re-validate if the open gaps >~1.5%. Catalyst: the Trump-Xi summit + tech-titan dinner is Thu 09-24, so the hold is binary into it; the stop governs. · news
XLEEnergy Select Sector SPDR61.78WATCH61.7861.0862.04 (+0.4%)64.76 (+4.8%)63.19 (+2.3%)Energy remains below the stop of the unrecorded 09-21 fill after oil kept easing. If that position exists and the 09-22 open sale did not execute, sell it at the next open. OPERATIONAL: contingent on the unrecorded 09-18 card (@64.31, MOO 09-21, open 63.17). 09-22 open 61.63 / close 61.78; conviction WATCH. If sold at the 09-22 open: realized 153 x (61.63-63.17) = -. If still held: SELL 153 at the 09-23 open (L2/L3). If never placed: record `trade skip sectoretf XLE`. · news
SKYYFirst Trust Cloud Computing ETF167.39WATCH168.60160.31168.83 (+0.1%)171.67 (+1.8%)177.35 (+5.2%)Cloud computing held most of Monday's breakout, easing 0.49% on Tuesday. An unrecorded 09-21 fill would be up about 2.6%, well above its stop. OPERATIONAL: contingent on the 09-18 card (@162.02, MOO 09-21 open 163.17). Close 167.39 = + / +1.11 ATR if filled. Not PROFIT_ARMED. Hold the stop at 160.31 and never lower it to the live 157.19. The live row is ANTIC 61 (1 print, Payoff_4W 0.27x), so the card is not re-issued if unfilled.

But the four-week estimate pays only about 1x the risk, so there is not enough reward for the stop. OPERATIONAL: FailedBreakdown_Up_20D BUY cv75, bias -2 -> adj 73, Buy_Rank 1; trail AVOID65 -> NT0 -> AVOID65 -> BUY75. Payoff_4W (214.49-210.81)/3.61 = 1.02x < 1.5x (W3).

-0.216 1-week calibration How much of the eventual 4-week move typically shows up in the first week (0 = almost none, 1 = most of it). Use it to read the 1-week estimates: a low number means prices drift toward the target slowly, so don't over-read a soft week-1.
