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.

DVADaVita Inc175.35SELL 50%175.35168.00173.03 (-1.3%)167.62 (-4.4%)152.15 (-13.2%)DaVita fell about 6% on a proposed federal kidney-care plan that targets the concentrated dialysis market. It closed decisively below our 179 stop and under its 200-day average, and the model's 12-week view is about 13% lower, so we cut the position in half. L2 stop-break + negative 12wk basis (first firing); the NoTrade L2 cell is -4. Balance on a new 168.00 rung (peak stop 179 retained). Q3 print 10-29. · news
CVXChevron Corp225.71SELL 30%225.71216.36222.43 (-1.5%)214.76 (-4.9%)263.34 (+16.7%)Chevron is up about 26% on cost and has turned overbought: RSI is 71, the model flipped to a reversal-down signal, and momentum is diverging. That earns a first profit-take on 30% while the rest rides with a raised trail. Armed (Gain 10.1 ATR) + tick a (RSI_DIV); G n/a (not a fresh breakout); one tick = profit_take_ 30%; FAIR_VALUE, no tier change. Balance, trail 216.36.
LLYVALiberty Live Group Ser A96.69SELL 88.52%96.6993.7395.84 (-0.9%)93.85 (-2.9%)88.18 (-8.8%)Liberty Live Series A now prints the same failed-breakout strong-sell as its Series C sibling, with a 12-week view about 9% lower and the position 7% under cost, so we take the model's 88.5% reduction. Late-flipped REDUCE (NT, AVOID 58, NT, SSR 65); FailedBreakout_Down_20D|sell +2; no valuation read. Balance on 93.73. LLYV prints 11-05.
CBChubb Ltd357.75NO ACTION361.35348.66372.77 (+3.2%)399.43 (+10.5%)371.95 (+2.9%)Chubb printed BUY - ADD 73 on the close before its Q3 beat (core EPS 7.66 vs ~6.4 consensus) hit after the bell, and the 361.35 buy-stop would likely fill on the earnings gap. L6 says don't chase it, so the add of is demoted to a WATCH. Re-arm on a post-gap pullback that reprints BUY - ADD at a live Entry_Price; trail raised to scan 348.66. · news
OXYOccidental Petroleum Corp62.92NO ACTION62.9260.72n/an/a68.94 (+9.6%)Occidental's conviction fell on one 'consensus conflict' NO TRADE print, which trips the profit-take rule mechanically. But the position is only up 1.1% (0.4 ATR, armed by T12 progress alone), and Roth upgraded it to Buy on 10-19 with estimates up about 21% in 30 days, so the 30% trim is overridden by news. Hold on 60.72; a second NT (tick d) re-fires it. · news
KRKroger Co62.98NO ACTION62.9860.93n/an/a68.32 (+8.5%)Kroger is armed and has printed two straight NO TRADEs (tick d), a 30% profit-take of about; displaced by the 3-card cap.
MMacy's Inc23.41NO ACTION23.4122.49n/an/a23.66 (+1.1%)Macy's is armed by T12 progress at only +0.7%, with a dead 12-week view (tick c) and two NO TRADEs (tick d), which would be a 50% trim of about; displaced by the cap. It would be a third straight cut.
ALLYAlly Financial Inc37.97NO ACTION37.9735.88n/an/a27.84 (-26.7%)Ally prints a seventh STRONG SELL - REDUCE (78) on a-share stub; displaced by the cap, UNDERVALUED argues the 88.5% down to 50%.
LLYVKLiberty Live Group Ser C100.49NO ACTION100.4994.35n/an/a91.74 (-8.7%)Liberty Live C SSR 65 on the-share stub; 88.5% rounds to the full share; displaced by the cap.
BACBank of America Corp50.64NO ACTION50.6447.04n/a53.83 (+6.3%)30.55 (-39.7%)Bank of America printed a new BUY 69 oversold bounce (RSI 24). A new entry is blocked by the quality gate (Quality_Pass False), and the 12wk 30.55 (-40%) contradicts the bullish label.
AAPLApple Inc339.50HOLD339.50334.97n/an/a364.96 (+7.5%)Apple recovered to HOLD 63 after the 10-19 NO TRADE; armed with no fresh tick, so trail 334.97. Q3 11-02.
KOCoca-Cola Co93.49HOLD93.4990.88n/an/a101.71 (+8.8%)Coca-Cola is armed and its conviction fell (tick b), but its 10-27 print falls inside 5 sessions, so the catalyst-aware hold applies: trail 90.88.
NUENucor Corp261.50HOLD261.50245.84n/an/a266.04 (+1.7%)Nucor is armed + tick c (12wk +1.7%), but we hold through the 10-26 print (catalyst-aware hold); trail raised to 245.84.

-0.711 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.
