- ABT: 1 shares at 110.12, now 109.885 (-0.22%), stop 109.1, target 115, multi_day horizon, opened 1:02 PM ET. Thesis: ABT broke above its 15-min opening range high (110.04) on 2.2× median volume, closing at 110.17. The move is supported by a T2 catalyst: FDA approval and CE Mark for a new implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead (Nov 11, 6:33 AM ET). Technically, ABT is in a strong uptrend (above SMA20/50/200) with RSI 58.4 and room to the 52-week high (132.03). The opening range low (109.1) provides a natural stop. Target 115.0 offers ~4.4% upside vs ~1% risk. Invalidation: Price closes below 109.1 (opening range low) or news reverses the FDA approval narrative.

Technically, it is in a strong short-term uptrend (above SMA20/50) with a 5-day return of +28.87% and RSI 60.6. The move is supported by heavy volume and a clear technical breakout.

Thesis: Long-term leader: 12-month return 148.9% (skipping the last month), 25.9% above its 200-day average Invalidation: A week closing below its 200-day average (a leader also: its trailing stop, or dropping out of the top at a month's refresh).

Thesis: SCHE broke above its 15-min opening range high (35.15) on 15.5× median volume, closing at 35.21. This is a strong technical breakout with heavy volume. No recent news in our feeds, so the move is purely technical/flow-driven. The setup is strong enough to warrant a trade based on momentum and volume. Entry: 35.21.

LIMITS (enforced by code)
- Market: the regular session. New buys: blocked by your envelope (4/4 open).
- Your envelope: 6/8 entries in 24 h, 0/3 in the last hour, 4/4 open; one action per ticker per 30 min; no re-entry for 6 h after a stop-out or 2 h after an exit.
- Sizing is code's: a buy risks 1% of equity at its stop (×0.75 at conviction 6, up to ×1.25 at 10), up to 25% of equity per position ($2624.88). A closer stop means more shares; leave allocation_pct null.
- Risk checks: 6/8 positions; conviction ≥ 6/10 (no intraday buys in the closing window); price ≥ $5; stop 0.4-10% below the price (default 2.5%); reward:risk ≥ 1.2; no rebuy within 15 min of a sale; $6.15 deployable cash.
- Options: open premium $0 of the 25% of equity cap ($2625); at most 4% of equity per position; 0/6 positions; conviction ≥ 7; long calls and puts, call and put debit spreads; buy |delta| 0.25-0.7, 7-45 days to expiration; contracts only from an option_menu result in this episode; exits default to -60% / +150% of the position's value, and code closes positions before expiration.
- Intraday stock positions are closed by code in the last minutes of the session; overnight and multi-day ones stay. Stops and targets rest at the broker as bracket or OCO orders, and once a position is up by its stop distance code trails its stop at that distance behind the price.
