SHORT
conviction 64/100 · expected -2.67% over 4 hrs
SHORT (drift): bad news keeps sliding after dissemination — our one persistent measured edge. Similar past filings (16 in this cell) moved +6.85% in the called direction over 4 hrs; shrunk for sample size that's a +2.67% edge. Price is down 1.0% since the filing hit EDGAR — the slide has begun. Caution: sub-$5 shorts can be hard to borrow — treat as avoid-longs if no locate. Exit plan: HARD stop 7.5% against entry — 1.4× this stock's measured hourly volatility, fixed, not trailing (trails test terribly on these names) — time exit 4 hrs.
