Open decision #4 → · NO TRADE no swing trade; closest was SYNA long, stopped at Skeptic (the Skeptic said wait)

• SYNA long news continuation — stopped at Skeptic (the Skeptic said wait)
  A revised all-cash merger agreement with a higher price, struck after a third party made an unsolicited competing bid, puts a hard cash floor under the stock and raises the odds of a further bump or a bidding contest. Semis were the day's leading group, so the tape is not fighting the idea.
• ACN long post-earnings drift — stopped at Skeptic (the Skeptic said wait)
  A clean earnings beat in a name the screen shows up redacted on redacted volume, with the technology sector ETF up about redacted. Post-earnings drift setups work when the beat is large and volume confirms it; the move is big but the drift window is still open.
• MAT long news continuation — stopped at Gate (no catalyst id)
  An redacted move on nearly redacted volume is a genuine repricing event, and the consumer discretionary ETF was flat, so this is name-specific. Large single-name volume spikes often see follow-through over the next sessions as the news is digested.

Open decision #3 → · NO TRADE no swing trade; closest was TSLA long, stopped at PM (the manager passed)

• TSLA long news continuation — stopped at PM (the manager passed)
  Tesla's Q3 delivery release is a hard, dated catalyst: the 8-K furnishes the production and deliveries press release, and coverage says deliveries topped expectations. The stock is not on the movers screen at all, so the screen gives no evidence the reaction is finished. Delivery prints are the start of a drift into the 3Q earnings date, not a one-day event.
• FCX long news continuation — stopped at PM (the manager passed)
  Freeport's 8-K carries a third-quarter operational update with copper and gold production in line with expectations and a timing deferral of gold sales into Q4. The movers screen lists FCX as a laggard at redacted on redacted volume, i.e. essentially no move on the news. In-line production with a sales-timing deferral is a mild positive that the tape has not paid for.
• MAT long news continuation — stopped at Gate (no catalyst id)
  Mattel shows the largest screened up-move outside the CTVA dislocation: redacted on nearly nine times normal volume, a genuine repricing event. The screen gives the move but no catalyst text, so the honest read is that a large-volume repricing of this size usually continues over days rather than fully reversing in one bar. Sized small given the wide daily range implied by a 10-sigma day.
• PLMK long unknown — stopped at Gate (day-2 check: the price has not yet confirmed the news, so it waits another day)
  [withheld: carried from an earlier cycle; its feed text cannot be shown]

Open decision #2 → · NO TRADE no swing trade; closest was NVCR long, stopped at Rules (too little trading volume)

• NVCR long news continuation — stopped at Rules (too little trading volume)
  A new national regulatory approval for a named indication is a durable catalyst: it opens a market the company did not previously serve and is not a one-day headline. NVCR is not in the movers screen universe, so I cannot see how much of the approval is already in the price; the approval is dated 15 September but the 8-K disclosing it is in this slot.
• PLMK long news continuation — stopped at PM (the manager passed)
  The joint release describes a simplified capital structure with existing convertible debt converting to equity at close and an additional planned PIPE, ahead of a proposed Nasdaq listing for the CTR business combination. Deleveraging plus a listing path is a multi-session catalyst. PLMK is not in the movers screen universe, so the reaction is unknown to me.
• LRHC long news continuation — stopped at Skeptic (the Skeptic rejected it)
  The filing combines a completed asset acquisition with a stated intent to review strategic alternatives for the legacy real estate business and a new CEO to lead the transformation. That is a change-of-direction catalyst rather than a routine disclosure. LRHC is not in the movers screen universe, so the reaction is unknown to me.
• DPLS long news continuation — stopped at Gate (no fact card (stale or missing bars))
  An exclusive patent license with the Air Force Research Laboratory is a concrete, named counterparty agreement rather than a memorandum, and the company frames it as the foundation for a space-based power grid program. DPLS is not in the movers screen universe, so the reaction is unknown to me; OTC names often take several sessions to absorb a filing of this type.

Open decision #1 → · NO TRADE no swing trade; closest was NVCR long, stopped at Rules (too little trading volume)

• NVCR long news continuation — stopped at Rules (too little trading volume)
  A new-country regulatory approval for a pancreatic cancer indication widens the addressable market for a company whose revenue is driven by indication-by-indication approvals. The 8-K is hours old and the name is not screened, so the market's read is unclear. Approval-driven launches play out over quarters, which fits a multi-week hold.
• MU long post-earnings drift — stopped at Skeptic (the Skeptic reply unusable)
  Micron reported after the close with a beat and strong guidance, and the follow-up coverage says fiscal 2027 demand still exceeds supply. The stock is not on the movers screen at all, so the post-earnings repricing has not shown up in completed bars yet. Memory pricing strength is a multi-quarter story, which suits a days-to-weeks hold.
• SINT long news continuation — stopped at Skeptic (the Skeptic rejected it)
  An 8-K item 2.02 with preliminary Q3 revenue above the high end of guidance and roughly redacted sequential growth, plus a reiterated Q4 guide and a warrant call that signals confidence. This is a small, unscreened name, so the screen gives no read on how much of the news is in the price. The revenue step-up is a fundamental change, not a one-day headline.
• JBL long post-earnings drift — stopped at Skeptic (the cited item does not support the claim)
  Jabil reported before the open and the stock fell redacted on nearly five times normal volume, a redacted move. That is a large, high-volume repricing of an earnings print, and the drift after such a move often continues in the direction of the surprise over the following sessions. I take the long side of the overreaction, with a stop wide enough to survive the post-earnings range.
• CTVA long event run up — stopped at Scout (a paper-only setup: tracked on paper, never traded)
  The seed separation is now complete, creating two focused companies and a likely index and holder rebalancing flow over the coming sessions. The screen shows CTVA essentially unmoved on light volume, so the structural event has not been traded yet. Spin-off flows build over days, not minutes.
