Factor checklist — research, not advice

A check leans with a bullish reading. A cross leans against it. A dash is unavailable or mixed.

  • Insider Supports a bullish reading. Open-market purchases outweigh sales
  • Narrative Supports a bullish reading. Stored narrative reading is in the bullish band
  • Congress Unavailable or mixed. No purchase disclosures in the stored window
  • Timing Pulls against a bullish reading. Interesting trend — weekly bias down
  • Financial indicators Supports a bullish reading. Current ratio 1.26 · operating margin 207%

Suggested stop 62.74, nearest stored support minus 0.5 ATR(1.5% under the last close). Reward/risk to the next stored resistance is 0.69. Wait — that reward/risk is under 2. Research, not advice. Not an order.
