Execution Flow

Step 1 — Rapid Data Gathering (3 parallel web searches)

Run these 3 searches at the same time:

Query A — Price & Performance "<TICKER> stock price today market cap P/E 52 week high low 2026" Extract: Current price, today's change, market cap, 52-week range, P/E, average volume.

Query B — Recent News & Sentiment "<TICKER> stock news analyst rating 2026" Extract: 3-5 recent headlines (note tone), analyst consensus, average price target, upcoming catalyst.

Query C — Technical & Fundamentals Quick Look "<TICKER> stock technical analysis support resistance revenue growth" Extract: Trend direction (above/below 50/200-day MAs), key support/resistance, revenue growth direction, short interest.

Step 2 — Quick Assessment (4 dimensions)

• Trend: Uptrend / Downtrend / Sideways (based on price vs MAs and 52-week range position)
• Valuation: P/E reasonable for sector and growth rate? (quick gut check)
• Sentiment: Recent headlines and analyst ratings positive, negative, or mixed?
• Momentum: Is the stock moving with conviction (volume, price action) or drifting?

Step 3 — Generate Signal

If 3 of 4 dimensions align in one direction → that signal. If 2-2 split → Hold.

Signal	Criteria
BUY	Uptrend + reasonable valuation + positive sentiment + strong momentum
HOLD	Mixed signals, no clear edge either way
SELL	Downtrend + overvalued + negative sentiment + weak momentum
AVOID	Multiple red flags — structural problems, extreme overvaluation, or collapsing fundamentals

Apply contrarian checks before finalizing:

• Bullish contrarian: Stock down 30%+ with no fundamental deterioration, RSI < 25 at major support, insider cluster buying, short interest > 25%
• Bearish contrarian: Stock up 50%+ in 30 days no fundamental change, RSI > 80 declining volume, insiders selling large blocks, social media FOMO mania

Step 4 — Identify Key Factors

Exactly 3 bullish + 3 bearish factors. Each must be specific with at least one number.

Good factors: "Revenue grew 34% YoY, accelerating from 28% prior quarter" / "Trading 15% below analyst average target of $185" / "RSI at 28 — deeply oversold with support at $142" Bad factors (do NOT write): "The company has growth potential" / "There are some risks"

Step 5 — Output Scorecard

Terminal output only. Under 40 lines total.

Signal Calibration

BUY (need 3+ of): Above 50/200-day MA, P/E at or below sector avg, predominantly positive news, analyst consensus Buy, volume confirming move, RSI < 70, insider buying present, clear positive catalyst.

SELL (need 3+ of): Below 50/200-day MA, P/E significantly above sector avg without growth, predominantly negative news, analyst downgrades, volume increasing on down days, breaking below key support, insider selling.

AVOID: Fraud concerns, P/E > 100 with declining growth, collapsing fundamentals, multiple Sell ratings, very thin trading volume, imminent dilution or bankruptcy risk.
