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.

AAPLApple Inc304.91SELL 50%304.91300.00304.78 (-0.0%)n/a304.47 (-0.1%)Apple has printed NO TRADE for five straight sessions while its 12-week model view collapsed to — level with the close — so the forward case that justified the position is gone, and Jefferies cut the stock to underperform on 11-Aug with a target after supply-chain checks showed the all-glass iPhone was cancelled on yield. Valuation agrees the price is stretched: GROWTH_PRICED_IN with the DCF anchor at against a quote. We cut half the remaining stake and keep the rest on a tight stop. ADR-0012 profit-take: PROFIT_ARMED (T12_Progress 100.1%) + 2 fire ticks — (c) dead 12wk ( < 1.02x close) and (d) 5 consecutive NO TRADE prints -> profit_take_2 tier = 50%. MoS -2.83 is just inside the -3 escalation line so no tier bump. Second cut in two sessions (30% filled 08-11 @); cumulative 65% of the seed lot. Stop held at. 1wk uses f=0.30 with Target_12Week substituted for the missing Target_Price (NO TRADE row prints no risk objective). 12wk exceeds the DCF anchor. · news
BACBank of America Corp64.00SELL 30%64.0062.2965.65 (+2.6%)69.49 (+8.6%)76.25 (+19.1%)Bank of America has run from to in four sessions and is now 4.3 ATR above cost with RSI at 70.3 and a bearish RSI divergence printing — the classic point to bank part of a winner rather than give it back. The bull case is intact (12-week view still), so this is a one-third trim into strength, not an exit, and the stop on the rest moves up. ADR-0012 profit-take: PROFIT_ARMED (Gain_ATR 4.3) + 1 fire tick (a) RSI_DIV -> profit_take_1 tier = 30%. G1 softening does NOT apply — the row prints AnticipationUp_VCP at conviction 70, not a fresh BreakoutUp_*/MomentumContinuation_* at >=80 — so the divergence tick fires normally. Last night's GTC buy-limit @ is WITHDRAWN in the same breath (08-11 low, never touched; the row no longer prints a buy trigger) — logged separately as status=withdrawn. Flip-flop acknowledged: this name has oscillated STRONG BUY-ADD cv90 / HOLD 61 / HOLD 56 / STRONG BUY-ADD 88 / HOLD 70 across five sessions. Stop raised ->. Give-up on the trimmed slice is the modeled +19.1% 12wk upside. · news
GOOGLAlphabet Inc Cl A343.80SELL 30%343.80319.70351.03 (+2.1%)367.90 (+7.0%)321.78 (-6.4%)Alphabet closed, decisively through our stop, and its 12-week model view has flipped negative to (-6.4%) — the exact stop-break-plus-negative-forward-view combination this book is supposed to act on immediately rather than watch bleed. The news confirms it: Demis Hassabis stepped down as DeepMind CEO and Jeff Dean left the same week, with 2026 AI capex guided up to -205bn. We cut 30% and reset the risk line. Applies L2/L3 and book note US-1 (act on the first EOD the stop-break + neg-12wk combo triggers; do not wait for a SELL-REDUCE label). Also armed-and-fired under ADR-0012 (PROFIT_ARMED + tick (c) dead 12wk). The standing news-overlay override 'GOOGL invalidated when close below 345' is now INVALIDATED for the first time. Ranked into slot 3 ahead of MCO's larger dollar bleed on the L2/L3/US-1 priority — deviation from the pure dollar-bleed order is deliberate and stated. Breached stop is retired; new stop (the model line) is legitimate only because size is being cut alongside it. Note the internal contradiction in the forward view — 4wk target (+7.0%) against a 12wk of -6.4%. · news
AXPAmerican Express Co340.81NO ACTION340.81334.75n/an/a340.08 (-0.2%)Fired (PROFIT_ARMED + tick (c) dead 12wk vs close) and #3 by dollar bleed at, but DEMOTED on a news override: AXP raised FY26 revenue growth guidance to 10% on a Q2 beat (6bn revenue +10% YoY, EPS vs) and is +8.7% over the past month. The sell case also weakened rather than matured — 08-11 printed STRONG SELL - REDUCE (Sell_Rank 3) and 08-12 reverted to NO TRADE. Mandatory candidate next EOD if the 12wk stays dead. · news
MCOMoody's Corp476.48NO ACTION476.48461.27n/an/a475.55 (-0.2%)Fired at the 50% tier (PROFIT_ARMED + tick (c) dead 12wk < 1.02x close, + tick (d) 3 consecutive NO TRADE prints). bleed, #4 in the queue — crowded out of the <=3 cap by GOOGL's stop-break priority. Already cut 30% on 08-11 @. Mandatory next EOD.
DVADaVita Inc178.34NO ACTION178.34174.64n/an/a129.40 (-27.4%)Fired at 50% (PROFIT_ARMED + dead 12wk, -27.4% vs close, + 5 consecutive NO TRADE). Worst holding in the book at -24.1%, and the 12wk view has fallen -> -> 129 across five sessions. Held back only because RSI 22.4 is a washout print; a bounce would be a better exit. Mandatory next EOD regardless.
SIRISirius XM Holdings Inc28.51NO ACTION28.5128.60n/an/a28.81 (+1.1%)Closed, 0.31% under the stop — a breach, but not a decisive one — with a second consecutive RallySell_BearTrend print (Sell_Rank 1). The model's 88.5% REDUCE does NOT survive: RallySell_BearTrend|sell is the book's worst actionable cell at bias -8 (n=8, hit_1w.125), which requires raw conviction >=75; SIRI prints 60. What survives is the ADR-0012 tier-1 profit-take (PROFIT_ARMED + dead 12wk vs 1.02x close) = 30%. Stop held at, breach carried.
ALLYAlly Financial Inc43.95NO ACTION43.9542.63n/an/a41.34 (-5.9%)Fired at the 50% tier (PROFIT_ARMED + dead 12wk + 4 consecutive NO TRADE) but scaled DOWN one tier to 30% because valuation reads UNDERVALUED (MoS +0.05) — selling cheap, trim the minimum.
OXYOccidental Petroleum Corp59.06NO ACTION59.0655.17n/an/a62.12 (+5.2%)Fired at tier 1 (PROFIT_ARMED, Gain_ATR 5.22 / +20.8% — the book's 2nd-best holding — plus tick (a) RSI_DIV on a second consecutive AVOID/NoSignal print) and then ESCALATED one tier to 50% by valuation: MoS_FV -3.07 clears the -3 amplify line (FAIR_VALUE label, DCF anchor but the EPV/V-P blend reads the quote as 3 sigma rich). /. Deferred on slot arithmetic only; mandatory next EOD. Stop raised to (2.0x ATR chandelier).
CVXChevron Corp196.66NO ACTION196.66187.99n/an/a208.11 (+5.8%)Fired on tick (b): conviction collapsed in one session while the signal flipped FailedBreakdown_Up to BreakoutUp_20D. Armed at Gain_ATR 5.61 (+16.2%, the book's 2nd-best holding). G1 does not protect it — the breakout prints conviction 33, far below the >=80 bar. Small residual line; stop raised ->.
GOOGAlphabet Inc Cl C343.00NO ACTION343.00320.20n/an/a322.62 (-5.9%)Same underlying and same case as the GOOGL card (stop breached, 12wk = -5.9%), but only /. Deferred purely on slot arithmetic; execute alongside GOOGL next EOD. Stop reset to with the Cl A line.
NYTNew York Times Co Cl A63.73NO ACTION63.7358.50n/an/a43.62 (-31.6%)Third consecutive STRONG SELL - REDUCE with the 12-week view at (-31.6% vs close) and conviction collapsing (tick (b)) on top of a dead 12wk (tick (c)) = 50% tier. Already halved on 08-11 @; the residual is /. RSI 32.7 argues against selling the low into a fourth print. Mandatory next EOD.
LLYVALiberty Live Group Ser A100.53NO ACTION100.5395.44n/an/a102.09 (+1.6%)Fired on a marginal tick (c) — 12wk sits just under 1.02x close. Valuation is NA for the Liberty trackers so no amplification either way. Low urgency; stop raised ->.
VRSNVeriSign Inc287.63NO ACTION287.63276.41n/an/a315.14 (+9.6%)Fired on tick (d) only (5 consecutive NO TRADE prints); the 12wk view is still alive (+9.6%), so tier 1 = 30%. +12.2% and Gain_ATR 3.68. Tiny line; stop held.
NUENucor Corp271.95NO ACTION271.95259.19n/an/a346.49 (+27.4%)Fired on tick (d) (2 consecutive NO TRADE) with the 12wk still strongly alive at (+27.4%), so tier 1 = 30%. Best holding in the book at +23.2% / Gain_ATR 7.0. Stop held — trailing is the better tool here than trimming.
KOCoca-Cola Co86.48HOLD86.4883.81n/an/a94.18 (+8.9%)The only bullish actionable row in the book tonight — BUY - ADD, PullbackBuy_VWAP, conviction 73, Buy_Rank 1, entry — and it falls 3 points short of the acquire floor once valuation is applied: 73 - 10 (MoS -2.09, GROWTH_PRICED_IN, DCF anchor against an quote) - 1 (PullbackBuy_VWAP|buy cell bias, n=7) = 62 vs the 65 bar. Armed but NOT fired (12wk is alive, conviction rose, so the correct action is a trail-raise, not a trim. Stop held (the 2.0x ATR chandelier at is looser). Re-arms as an ACQUIRE if conviction reaches 76+ or the valuation gap narrows.
KHCKraft Heinz Co24.65HOLD24.6524.15n/an/a25.36 (+2.9%)Armed, not fired: one NO TRADE print (not two) and the 12wk still sits above 1.02x close. A single flip to NO TRADE is deliberately NOT counted as a conviction-collapse tick (b) — on NO TRADE rows conviction prints 0 by construction, so tick (d) governs. Fires next EOD if it prints NO TRADE again.
COFCapital One Financial Corp219.15HOLD219.15210.47n/an/a254.90 (+16.3%)Newly PROFIT_ARMED (Gain_ATR 3.23, +6.8%) with zero fire ticks — 12wk is strongly alive (+16.3%) and conviction is flat at 54. Mandatory trail-raise: ->.
CBChubb Ltd347.07HOLD347.07341.96n/an/a355.84 (+2.5%)Armed, not fired — 12wk clears 1.02x close by a hair and conviction improved. Stop held (chandelier is looser). Watch: one more point of 12wk erosion arms tick (c).
LLYVKLiberty Live Group Ser C104.26HOLD104.2699.36n/an/a106.96 (+2.6%)Armed, not fired (12wk > 1.02x close). Stop raised ->. The Ser A line fired the same tick and sits in the deferred pool — the two tracker classes are diverging on a rounding error, which is noise, not signal.
DALDelta Air Lines Inc90.41HOLD90.4188.93n/an/a104.54 (+15.6%)Not armed and recovering — three sessions of NO TRADE resolved to HOLD at conviction 61 with the 12wk at (+15.6%). Stop raised ->.
MMacy's Inc24.52HOLD24.5224.57n/an/a28.35 (+15.6%)Monitor flagged a 0.20% stop undercut (vs) — not decisive, and the name is not PROFIT_ARMED, so no trim. Stop held at; a second close below it is an exit. / — immaterial either way.
KRKroger Co56.25HOLD56.2554.87n/an/a44.07 (-21.7%)Fifth consecutive AVOID with the 12wk at (-21.7%), and armed with a dead 12wk — but the line is /, so a 30% trim is. Not economically actionable; carried in prose rather than ledgered. Valuation reads UNDERVALUED (MoS +0.06), which argues the minimum tier anyway.
NVRNVR Inc6429.96HOLD6429.966069.66n/an/a5943.03 (-7.6%)Four sessions of STRONG SELL - REDUCE resolved to AVOID at conviction 50; armed with a dead 12wk (vs). — a 30% trim is one share. Stop raised -> instead.
STZConstellation Brands Cl A133.98HOLD133.98128.06n/an/a113.01 (-15.7%)Armed with a dead 12wk (, -15.7%) but the line is /. Stop raised ->.

0.006 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.
