How to read it

01

Header — instrument, tier and horizon

Conviction calls run three to ten sessions, swing setups two to five, volatility reads to the next event. The tier tells you how the position should be sized and how long it is meant to be held.

02

Side and reference price

The price printed is the reference at publication, not a limit order. If the tape has already moved more than a third of the expected move in your favour, the edge is gone — skip it.

03

Target and invalidation

Target is the modelled level over the stated horizon. Invalidation is the level at which the thesis is wrong, and it is set before publication so the risk is never rationalised after the fact.

04

Calibrated probability versus the tape

The model probability is compared to the probability already implied by option pricing and realised volatility. Edge is the difference. No positive edge, no publication.

05

Factor drivers

The three factors doing the most work — weight multiplied by standardised score — are printed on every idea, so you can see whether a call is momentum-led, flow-led or valuation-led.

06

Position weight

A fractional-Kelly weight expressed as a percentage of risk capital, capped so a single idea can never dominate the book.
