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

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.

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.
This one is in the strategy. It is an in-remit purchase, so it enters the book on the first market open after the filing appeared and is held for 365 days regardless of what the member does next.
This filing disclosed 16 transactions in total, of which 9 share this trade date (02 Dec 2025).

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 6 rows are blank because those windows have not closed yet: this trade was entered 06 Jan 2026, so anything longer than that is still running.
