• Stop-Loss Trigger: The authored stop is evaluated against a trailing 60-minute average of five-minute closes and must remain breached for two hours. A separate 15% hard stop requires two confirming observations. SPY and sector comparisons provide context and do not gate exits. Triggers account for stock splits.
• Execution Price: When triggered during market hours, the simulated exit includes 0.1% adverse slippage. A profit exit sells the full position at 1.8 times the return implied by T1, when T1 is valid and above entry.
• Market Hours Only: Stop-loss execution occurs only during market hours. If the threshold is met while the market is closed, execution is postponed until market hours.
• Finalization: Executed stop-losses are marked as completed and removed from active tracking. These appear with an “Exit Type: Stop-Loss” indicator.
• Live Hold Strategy: Picks created on or after 2026-10-05 04:00 UTC use a 7-calendar-day hold window and a 12-slot portfolio target. New selection forecasts use this same horizon and the live exit policy, and require positive expected net return after trading costs, before forecast uncertainty. SPY excess return and uncertainty inform ranking and reporting. Only one active public pick per symbol is allowed.
• New Position Sizing: Each new pick targets 1/12 of total account equity. Buys require enough available cash for the full allocation and execution buffer; the number of earlier lots does not block a funded buy.
• One-Week Transition: Earlier four-week holdings explicitly converted to the one-week policy retain their entry quantities and original forecasts. Their recorded exit due date controls finalization, which requires a fresh market-hour price.
• Standard Finalization: Picks are otherwise finalized after their assigned tracking window using the latest available market price.

• Win Rate: The performance page counts both active and finalized public picks. A pick is a win when its current or final profit is greater than 0%.
• Final Verdict: After the assigned tracking window (validated at a market‑hours update), a pick is finalized with its final price and outcome (Success / Failure / Neutral). Finalized picks stop updating and contribute their locked final result to performance metrics.
• Baseline: The win-rate chart uses a 50% horizontal baseline for comparison.
• Early Stop-Loss: Picks finalized early by stop-loss remain part of win-rate history for their selected lookback window using the realized final result.
• Pending: Picks with insufficient or stale price updates are counted as pending and excluded from rate denominators to keep metrics accurate.
