SHORT
conviction 28/100 · expected -0.43% over 4 hrs
SHORT (drift): bad news keeps sliding after dissemination — our one persistent measured edge. Similar past filings (53 in this cell) moved +0.64% in the called direction over 4 hrs; shrunk for sample size that's a +0.43% edge. Exit plan: HARD stop 5% against entry — default width (volatility unmeasured), fixed, not trailing (trails test terribly on these names) — time exit 4 hrs.
