- MPC: 1 shares at 383.85, now 386.175 (0.57%), stop 312.05, target none, LONG-TERM BOOK (rules-managed: held for months until a week closes below its 200-day average; sell it yourself only on news that breaks the long-term case), multi_day horizon, opened 10:00 AM ET. 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).
- NBIS: 4 shares at 136.96, now 141.31 (3.25%), stop 138.44, target 176.97, multi_day horizon, opened 9:46 AM ET. Thesis: NBIS broke above its 15-min opening range (134.80) on 7x median volume, closing at 135.70. It has a T1 anomaly spike (+2.99% in 5 min) and upcoming earnings (Benzinga report). However, the daily trend is down (price 16% below SMA50, RSI 36.9), making this a speculative bounce play. The stop at the opening range low (129.48) is 4.5% below entry. The target of 145.00 offers a 6.8% reward. Caution is warranted due to the lack of a confirmed catalyst beyond the price shock and the downtrend. Invalidation: A close below the trailing stop at 137.66 invalidates the bounce thesis and locks in the profit.
- PSX: 2 shares at 248.78, now 248.36 (-0.15%), stop 212.58, target none, LONG-TERM BOOK (rules-managed: held for months until a week closes below its 200-day average; sell it yourself only on news that breaks the long-term case), multi_day horizon, opened 10:01 AM ET.

Thesis: Trend core: 16.8% above a 50-day average 12.9% over the 200-day; 6-month 33% at 1.17% daily ATR (strength 28.2); 100% of its 52-week high Invalidation: The trailing stop, or a close below the 50-day average.

LIMITS (enforced by code)
- Market: the regular session. New buys: allowed.
- Your envelope: 2/8 entries in 24 h, 2/3 in the last hour, 2/4 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 ($2564.01). A closer stop means more shares; leave allocation_pct null.
- Risk checks: 4/8 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; $2676.53 deployable cash.
- Options: open premium $0 of the 25% of equity cap ($2564); 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.

> machine summary of the article: CoreWeave faces investor skepticism regarding AI spending outlooks following midterm elections, with management's future plans deemed more critical than third-quarter earnings. The stock has dropped 15% last week and 65% from its six-month high, amid concerns over local opposition to data centers. Options markets anticipate an 18% swing post-earnings, reflecting heightened uncertainty about regulatory and political risks.

The thesis was that NBIS would bounce above its opening range on earnings anticipation. However, the stock has stalled and is now down -3.01% from the last review, failing to hold the gains. The trailing stop is at 137.66, and the current price of 141.31 is still above it, but the momentum has reversed. The news flow is negative: CoreWeave (a peer) faces sentiment issues, and NBIS earnings are imminent with high uncertainty (options pricing an 18% swing). In the closing window, intraday positions must be closed. The risk/reward is poor: the target of 145.00 is only 2.8% away, while the stop at 137.66 is 2.4% away, but the probability of hitting the target is low given the downtrend and lack of follow-through. Exiting now locks in the small profit and avoids the binary earnings risk.",
