Why this action

Technical

breakout on 2026-10-02 is extended; buy only on a retracement into 1387.99-1415.35
close is 2.31 ATR above EMA20: too extended to enter
reward/risk 1.67 to target 1 is below the 2 minimum; the target is structural and is not moved
the position is too large for this portfolio profile (MAX_POSITION_VALUE); the strategy setup itself is unchanged
RS20 vs SPY 19.1%, vs QQQ 14.2%
