Factor checklist — research, not advice
A check leans with a bullish reading. A cross leans against it. A dash is unavailable or mixed.
- Insider Pulls against a bullish reading. Selling cluster — sale value, no purchase value
- Congress Supports a bullish reading. 2 purchase disclosures year to date
- Narrative Pulls against a bullish reading. Stored narrative reading is in the bearish band
- Timing Supports a bullish reading. Interesting trend — weekly bias up
- Financial indicators Unavailable or mixed. Current ratio 0.31 · operating margin 12% — readings disagree
Suggested stop 211.34, nearest stored support minus 0.5 ATR(2.3% under the last close). Reward/risk to the next stored resistance is 0.29. Wait — that reward/risk is under 2. Research, not advice. Not an order.
