A name they had never held before
A first purchase is a decision; the ninth purchase of the same holding is a standing order.

0/8 |
|
Unusually large for this member
Against their own median trade, not an absolute threshold - and capped, because trades beyond 3x did worse, not better.

A high grade is not an allegation. Every input is public, and buying into an industry you work on daily is ordinary expertise. What the trade actually returned is deliberately excluded from this score and shown separately below.
It is also not a forecast. Measured across every settled trade, A-graded ones did not beat E-graded ones to any significant degree — the method page prints the table. This score says a trade looks like a decision rather than administration, and nothing more.

| 13 Jan 2026 | 314 d | +49.5% | +29.1% | part of the holding |
Closed by the member. What the member did afterwards, for context. The strategy does not act on it: exiting when members disclose selling cost 6.50 points against holding the full twelve months.
Not in the strategy. Either this purchase falls outside the member's committee jurisdiction, or the security has no usable price history to trade against.
This filing disclosed 17 transactions in total, of which 3 share this trade date (05 Mar 2025).
Few other trades share this date, so this reads as a discrete decision rather than a portfolio sweep.

Expressing this with options
An illustration, not a recommendation: the nearest listed expiry to a twelve-month horizon, struck near the money. Chains are live — Yahoo publishes no historical chains, so this is priced today, not when the filing was made, and the move it describes may already have happened.

Measured from the first open after disclosure — the earliest anyone reading this could have acted. The highlighted now row sits at its true place in the sequence, so where it falls tells you how long the position has run. The last 5 rows are blank because those windows have not closed yet: this trade was entered 03 Apr 2025, so anything longer than that is still running.
