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.

Queued GTC limit @480.93 (1.8% below close),, size x0.75 for the -1.33 MoS; extended -0.61 ATR so pullback-only, no gap-chase (L6).

GOOGLAlphabet Inc Cl A342.09SELL 30%342.09325.00n/an/a304.19 (-11.1%)Alphabet's Q2 beat on revenue and EPS with Google Cloud +82% and RPO, but shares fell ~2% after-hours on a raised capex guide (-205B) and an operating-margin miss — and the 07-22 close (342.09) already broke the 345 hold-through line, invalidating the standing override. With the earnings catalyst resolved against the hold and the row printing NO TRADE cv0 on a negative 12wk (-11%), the hold-through thesis is spent; take a measured 30% de-risk (keep the core — a fundamental beat, only capex spooked it) rather than repeat the 4-day NO-TRADE bleed (US-1). Sell at the 07-23 open (likely ~-2% gap; de-risk stands, reprice ref only), residual on a stop. · news

Trim 30% at the 07-23 open, residual on a stop. · news

Measured 50% trim on a small line in a whipsaw family; residual on a tightened stop.
AXPAmerican Express Co348.74HOLD349.54339.95n/a366.56 (+4.9%)388.30 (+11.1%)BUY-ADD cv73 -> adj 70 clears the 65 floor (val_adj -3, MoS -0.541) and not extended (+0.11 ATR), but Q2 earnings land 07-24 (2 sessions) — L6/catalyst discipline defers staging an add into the print.

Keep the 83.50 line; a decisive close below 83.50 exits 50% at the following open.

0.025 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.
