  2. Prioritize research review in leading groups: Semiconductors, Computer Hardware, and Communication Equipment.
  3. Flag Packaged Foods (-9.1% 20D) and Furnishings, Fixtures & Appliances (-7.5% 20D) for additional caution in independent research; these are the weakest-ranked groups today.
  4. Top-scored technical setups in today's screens (not recommendations): PK (REIT - Hotel & Motel); ASX, MU (Semiconductors). Independently verify chart, stop, liquidity, and event risk before acting.
  5. Review risk warnings before using any screen output in a trading or investing process.

Long-Term Research Candidates

These are research candidates from top-ranked stocks, capped at five names per industry to avoid over-concentration. Returns shown (60D, 120D, 250D) are historical — they reflect where prices have already moved, not forward expectations. Extension Risk flags names that may require extra patience or a better entry point. They are not buy signals.

Technical Screen Matches

These are technical screen matches from existing signal files. They are not trade recommendations. Trigger, stop, ATR, liquidity, reward/risk, and event risk still require separate validation until those inputs are available.

Model Screen Score is weighted by signal count, industry rank, freshness, and setup type. It is not a probability of profit, expected return, or suitability rating. Industry cap: max 3 candidates per industry.

Signal glossary: Momentum Pullback = stock in an uptrend that has pulled back 10–30% and shows re-entry conditions. MA Compression = short- and long-term moving averages converging, often preceding a directional move. Three-Day Up/Down = three consecutive closes in the same direction. New 52Wk High/Low = price reached a new annual extreme.
