All five holdings — QBE, SOL, BHP, RIO, IAG — remain in the screener top 10, so no mandatory drop-off exits are triggered. Checking stop losses: QBE is down -5.7% from cost (current 23.58, stop ~22.01 — still clear but persistent drift continues and is concerning); IAG is down -2.9% (current 8.085, stop ~7.33 — monitoring closely); SOL +6.2%, BHP +8.2%, RIO +9.7% — all three winners being ridden per strategy rules. I re-evaluated all five non-held watchlist names: CPU has exceptional momentum 94.8 and trend 95.9 with excellent quality 91.5, but value at 38.3 continues to fail broad factor support and blocks entry; WDS has strong momentum 89.7 and trend 83.5 with good value 75.3 and income 81.3, but quality at 35.1 fails comprehensively and blocks entry; TNE has exceptional momentum 95.9 and quality 94.7 but value at 9.9 fails completely; VCX has momentum 64.9 and trend 64.9 both just above 60 with exceptional value 95.1, but quality at 58.5 remains below the 60 threshold for the thirteenth consecutive session — still insufficient for broad factor support; ALL has strong momentum 90.7 and trend 89.7 with good quality 84.0, but value at 40.7 continues to fail the broad factor support requirement. No new candidate satisfies all entry criteria simultaneously, so the correct action is hold with no trades executed this session. What would change my mind next session: QBE breaching ~22.01 triggers a mandatory stop-loss exit; IAG sliding toward ~7.33 triggers a mandatory stop-loss exit; VCX quality rising clearly above 60 would unlock entry given momentum, trend, and exceptional value all qualifying; any current holding dropping out of the top 10 triggers a mandatory exit.

All five holdings — QBE, SOL, BHP, RIO, IAG — remain in the screener top 10, so no mandatory exits are triggered by the drop-off rule. Checking stop losses: QBE is now down -5.9% from cost (current 23.54, stop ~22.01 — still clear but the drift is persistent and concerning); IAG is down -3.6% (current 8.03, stop ~7.33 — narrowing slowly and warrants monitoring); SOL +5.3%, BHP +8.1%, RIO +9.4% — winners being ridden per strategy rules. I re-evaluated all five non-held watchlist names: CPU has outstanding momentum 94.8 and trend 95.9 with excellent quality 91.5, but value at 38.3 fails the broad factor support requirement and blocks entry; WDS has strong momentum 89.7 and trend 83.5 with good value 75.3 and income 81.3, but quality at 35.1 fails comprehensively; TNE has exceptional momentum 95.9 and quality 94.7 but value at 9.9 remains disqualifying; VCX has momentum 65.0 and trend 64.9 both above 60 with exceptional value 95.1, but quality at 58.5 remains just below 60 for the twelfth consecutive session — still insufficient for broad factor support; ALL has strong momentum 90.7 and trend 89.7 with quality 84.0, but value at 40.7 continues to fail. No new candidate satisfies all entry criteria simultaneously, so the correct action remains hold with no trades executed. What would change my mind next session: QBE breaching ~22.01 triggers a mandatory stop-loss exit; IAG sliding to ~7.33 triggers a mandatory stop-loss exit; VCX quality rising clearly above 60 would unlock entry given momentum, trend, and exceptional value all qualifying; ANY current holding dropping out of the top 10 triggers a mandatory exit.

All five holdings — QBE, SOL, BHP, RIO, IAG — remain in the screener top 10 with momentum and trend ranks well above 60, and none has breached the -12% stop loss threshold. QBE is now down -5.3% from cost (stop level ~22.01, current 23.70, still clear of the stop but continuing its persistent drift lower and warrants urgent monitoring), SOL +7.2%, BHP +8.8%, RIO +10.0%, IAG -3.0% — all positions are being ridden as momentum strategy rules require; no exit triggers are operative. I re-evaluated all five non-held watchlist names: CPU has exceptional momentum 95.9 and trend 97.9 with excellent quality 91.5, but value at 38.3 fails the broad factor support requirement and entry is blocked; WDS has strong momentum 88.7 and trend 78.4 with good value 77.8 and income 81.3, but quality at 35.1 fails comprehensively and entry is blocked; TNE has exceptional momentum 96.9 and quality 94.7 but value at 9.9 fails completely and entry is blocked; VCX has momentum 68.0 and trend 64.9 both above 60 with exceptional value 95.1, but quality at 58.5 remains just below the 60 threshold for the eleventh consecutive session — still insufficient for broad factor support; ALL has strong momentum 86.6 and trend 90.7 with good quality 84.0, but value at 40.7 still fails the broad factor support requirement. No new candidate satisfies all entry criteria simultaneously so the correct action is hold with no trades executed this session. What would change my mind next session: QBE breaching ~22.01 triggers a mandatory stop-loss exit; IAG continuing to slide deeper into negative territory toward its -12% stop (~7.33) warrants monitoring; VCX quality rising clearly above 60 would unlock an entry given momentum, trend, and exceptional value all qualifying; CPU or ALL value rising above 60 would qualify those entries given outstanding momentum, trend, and quality; any current holding dropping from the top 10 triggers a mandatory exit.

QBE is down -4.3% from cost (stop level ~22.01, current 23.94, still well clear of the stop), SOL +6.1%, BHP +7.9%, RIO +9.1%, IAG +1.8% — all positions are being ridden as momentum strategy rules require; no exit triggers are operative. I re-evaluated all five non-held watchlist names: CPU has exceptional momentum 94.8 and trend 97.9 with excellent quality 92.5, but value at 37.5 continues to fail broad factor support; WDS has momentum 87.5 and trend 79.2 with acceptable value 77.5 and income 82.2, but quality at 36.6 fails comprehensively; TNE has exceptional momentum 95.8 and quality 95.7 but value at 10.0 fails completely; VCX has momentum 69.8 and trend 64.6 both above 60 with exceptional value 95.0, but quality at 58.1 remains just below the 60 threshold for the ninth consecutive session — still insufficient for broad factor support; ALL has strong momentum 86.5 and trend 92.7 with good quality 83.9, but value at 41.25 still fails the broad factor support requirement. No new candidate satisfies all entry criteria simultaneously, so the correct action is hold with no trades executed this session. What would change my mind next session: VCX quality rising clearly above 60 would unlock an entry given momentum, trend, and exceptional value all qualifying; CPU, TNE, or ALL value rising above 60 would qualify those entries given their outstanding momentum, trend, and quality; QBE continuing to drift toward its -12% stop (cost 25.015, stop ~22.01) warrants close monitoring; any current holding dropping from the top 10 or breaching its stop triggers a mandatory exit.
