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.

—Lam Research Corp—NO ACTION——n/an/an/aLam printed STRONG BUY 88 (oversold reversal) after an 11.8% post-earnings drop on supply-constrained guidance, but it is a single bullish print in a confirmed sector bear tape, its own 12-week view (131.19) sits 43% below the price, and the post-close STRONG BUY is unconfirmed by an open, so no entry. Conditional idea ledgered for counterfactual grading (GTC buy-limit 230.15 x0.5 not placed). Blocks: Q4 two-print gate, S8 re-arm needs Target_12Week > Close, L post-print. Re-arm: second consecutive BUY-family print raw >= 75 with Target_12Week > Close -> GTC x0.5.
—KLA Corporation—NO ACTION——n/an/an/aKLA printed STRONG BUY 90 (oversold reversal, Buy_Rank 1) after a ~10% drop in sympathy with Lam's guidance, but it fails the hard quality gate for new entries, reports around 10-28, and its 12-week view (84.26) is 43% under the price, so no entry. Blocks: Quality_Pass False, L (print pending), Q4 single print. Re-arm: BUY-family raw >= 75, QP True, after the ~10-28 print settles.

0.091 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.
