Hypothetical model actions and open episodes. The frozen research history runs through December 31, 2025 and the same model rules continue afterward. Brokerage-account seed orders are excluded.
Historical figures below describe the previous research allocation model, not a backtest of the entry/exit-only execution rule effective October 7, 2026.

Thursday-close decisions for the next observed open. Enter on a new signal, hold the quantity, and close only on an exit signal. Changes in rank, prices, risk state or reference weights do not add to or trim an existing position. New entries use the signal sizing reference; brokerage quantities and fills are reported separately. Size is a share of model equity. This report does not place brokerage orders.
Verified equity decision data: 2026-10-29.
Free risk state: Normal · starting size 5.00% per new name.
Allocation context sizes new entries only. Keep existing quantities until an explicit exit; these changes are not rebalance instructions.
Only the pending actions above are new instructions in this issue. Open holdings and completed history below are context. An exit applies only if that position is held; it does not mean open the opposite position.
Free signals: Weekly selection entry means a new addition to the weekly long list; Weekly selection exit means a removal. Related MI signals show their human names when a matching dated record exists. A weekly selection change does not require a new daily MI trigger.
Risk state Normal · 5.00% starting allocation per newly added name.
Free reports up to 15 long positions, weekly additions and removals, and continuing holdings. The issue supplies the starting allocation for each new entry.
Research and hypothetical model results are educational. Market risk, execution differences and modeled costs affect outcomes; past results do not predict future performance.
Sizes use model equity, not your cash balance or total brokerage account. An exit means close the held quantity. Small signals remain visible in their own direction group. No add/trim instruction is created by a changing weight.
Educational research, not personalized investment advice. Trading can lose money. Model results are hypothetical, not customer or brokerage returns. Past results do not predict future performance. Publisher may hold positions.
For your AI assistant or script: the new entries and exits in this issue. These are model signals; your account settings control any trades.
