Quality Standards
- No vague language. Every claim must have a number, date, or specific reference.
- Balanced perspective. Bear case must be as thoroughly researched as bull case.
- Actionable entries. Price levels must be from actual technical levels — not arbitrary round numbers.
- Internally consistent. Stop loss used in position sizing must match stop loss in exit plan.
