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.

The position this closes
| Bought | Disclosed size | Held | Return | vs S&P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 Apr 2025 | $1,001 - $15,000 | 310 d | -13.6% | -35.4% |
What a follower should do: keep holding — 56 days still to run.
The member is out, but the tracked position is not due to close yet. Following members out of positions was tested and it lost 6.50 points against holding the full term - disclosure arrives too late to be worth acting on.
Matched oldest-lot-first on disclosed value within this account. Filings give a range, never a share count, so the pairing reads the documents rather than reconstructing the portfolio.
This is a sale, and the strategy does not act on it. It records the member closing a position; it is not a short signal and not an instruction to sell. Exiting when members disclose selling, rather than at twelve months, cut in-remit alpha from +6.76% to +3.57% — a cost of 6.50 points on the trades it changed. See the method.
This filing disclosed 45 transactions in total, of which 2 share this trade date (05 Feb 2026).
Few other trades share this date, so this reads as a discrete decision rather than a portfolio sweep.

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