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. 4 purchase disclosures year to date
- Narrative Unavailable or mixed. Stored narrative reading is in the neutral band
- Timing Pulls against a bullish reading. Close is more than 0.5 ATR under stored support
- Financial indicators Supports a bullish reading. Current ratio 1.44 · operating margin 10%
Suggested stop 303.71, nearest stored support minus 0.5 ATR(8.4% under the last close). Reward/risk to the next stored resistance is 0.51. Wait — that reward/risk is under 2. Research, not advice. Not an order.
