THE TRADER READRecurring relationship, inactive in the latest snapshot

6 of 12 measured session-normalized paths align to the upside across 4.7 effective names. Common-bar coverage spans 12 of 17 cohort members. SWK is also moving with filing-linked members. Capital-flow agreement is 1%, so the basket is not yet clean. No verified headline preceded the measured move.
