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.

OXYOccidental Petroleum Corp61.65BUY61.6560.5562.54 (+1.4%)64.60 (+4.8%)64.10 (+4.0%)Occidental re-enters the book: a second straight BUY print at the model entry with no extension, priced near fair value with the quality screen passed, and Goldman's 10-01 upgrade (PT 69) backing it. Raw cv75 clears US-10's >=75 bar for FailedBreakdown_Up. New-BUY sizing 49.24% x NAV x 20% =; stop 60.55 is only 0.75 ATR away, so a normal-noise stop-out is possible. Prints 11-09. · news
ALLYAlly Financial Inc37.60SELL 50%37.6037.5236.48 (-3.0%)33.88 (-9.9%)26.43 (-29.7%)Ally prints a second consecutive STRONG SELL - REDUCE, sits 17% under cost below its 200-day average, and the 12-week view is -30%; Morgan Stanley's 10-12 downgrade confirms. Scan portion 88.52% is argued down to 50% because the stock is UNDERVALUED (sell cheap, trim the minimum). Close is only above the 37.52 rung; Q3 prints 10-20. · news
AAPLApple Inc341.27SELL 30%341.27328.80345.27 (+1.2%)354.59 (+3.9%)367.89 (+7.8%)Apple banks part of a +10.6% gain: the position is profit-armed (4.9 ATR over cost, 93% of the 12-week target) and an RSI divergence printed at a record high, which fires the 30% profit-take. News is mixed: record high on the smart-home event and BofA's Buy, against a Nikkei report of 15-20% iPhone 18 Pro order cuts. The MoS -3.08 one-tier bump is suppressed by G2 (12wk 367.89 far above the 237.39 DCF), so the trim stays at 30%. FQ4 prints 11-02; balance on the 328.80 trail. · news
KOCoca-Cola Co90.11SELL 30%90.1187.2992.43 (+2.6%)97.84 (+8.6%)90.01 (-0.1%)Coca-Cola is profit-armed (+7.1%, 100% of the 12-week target) and its 12-week view (90.01) sits below 1.02x the close, a dead forward view that fires a 30% profit-take even as conviction rose to 88. This is KO's 6th tick-(c) firing since 10-02, taken model-faithfully in an unattended run; the whittling is flagged for the BH-EOQ-1 review. Balance, stop raised to 87.29. Q3 10-27. · news

—Constellation Brands Cl A—NO ACTION——n/an/an/aNear-miss: BUY 57 is below the 65 floor and the quality gate (F-Score/FCF) blocks a new entry; the 12wk 108.99 is 14% below the close.

-0.735 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.
