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.

COFCapital One Financial Corp206.66BUY — QUEUED @204.12204.12186.15214.90 (+5.3%)240.05 (+17.6%)187.41 (-8.2%)Capital One broke out to a 20-day high (STRONG BUY 88, Buy_Rank) and its Q3 beat on adjusted EPS (vs) with a credit-reserve release; valuation is near fair (MoS -0.22, quality pass). The close is already 0.44 ATR past the 204.12 trigger and the print landed around the anchor, so per L6 this is a GTC limit at the model entry, not a chase. New BUY 85.49% x NAV x 20% = ->. Flag: Target_Week 187.41 sits below the close; L discounts breakout chases (BreakoutUp_20D|buy report-only n=). Withdraw if conviction < 65 or by 2026-10-26. · news

That is a decisive stop break plus a negativewk (L2/US-), so cut half. The 10-28 print does not shelter it because BH-EOQ-CH needs a positiveW. Balance on a new 326.04 rung (close - ATR); peak stop 338.83 retained. · news

AAPLApple Inc343.99SELL 30%343.99334.97347.66 (+1.1%)356.24 (+3.6%)370.51 (+7.7%)Apple is up 11.5% on cost (5.8 ATR, 93% of itswk target) and now prints RSI_DIV on the row, so the armed profit-take fires (tick a, 30%). G does not apply (FailedBreakdown_Up, not a fresh breakout >=80). The MoS -3.19 one-tier bump is suppressed under G2 because thewk of 370.51 is far above the 237 DCF anchor. This is the second 30% cut after 10-19 (tick b). Balance on a 334.97 trail; the print is 11-02, outside 5 sessions.

-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.
