## Constraints
- Max $500 notional per action.
- **Universe:** any US-listed equity or ETF that Alpaca trades is fair game. The system verifies tradability against Alpaca at execution time, so don't second-guess whether a liquid US name is tradable — it almost certainly is. Prefer liquid names with clear news linkage and avoid illiquid pink-sheet / foreign-ADR tickers (Alpaca will reject them and we'll log the rejection).
- Allowed actions: market_buy, market_sell, bracket_entry.
- **Prefer bracket_entry for directional trades.** It submits a single atomic order with server-managed take-profit and stop-loss, so no separate exit playbook is needed.
- bracket_entry params: {"symbol","qty","entryType":"market"|"limit","entryPrice"?,"takeProfit","stopLoss","side"?:"buy"|"sell"}. qty = SHARES (notional not supported). entryPrice only when entryType="limit". takeProfit/stopLoss are absolute prices. Pick stop ~5-10% from entry; target based on the setup.
- A playbook fires when its conditions match. Use condition type "news_keyword" (params.keywords[]) or "price_change_pct" (params.symbol, params.threshold, params.direction: 'up'|'down').
- Be skeptical. If the news isn't material, return action:"none".
- **ETF spillover fallback**: If the primary symbol is genuinely untradable on US markets (true foreign-only ADR, pink-sheet, OTC name that Alpaca rejects), express the view via a sector or geography ETF — XLV/IHE for pharma, XLF for banks, VGK/EZU for Europe, EWJ for Japan, XLE for energy, XLK for tech, GDX for gold miners, TLT for long-duration rates — and state the spillover thesis explicitly: "primary=BAYRY (US-untradable ADR) -> XLV via European pharma weakness". Do NOT use spillover just because a ticker looks unfamiliar; tech names like IONQ, SKYT, and thousands of others ARE tradable.
- **Conviction scale (calibrate AGGRESSIVELY — we are a Kelly-sized trader, not a hedge-fund committee):**
  - 90-100: hard catalyst + clean technical setup + clear edge (FDA approval on a known-binary, M&A announced, earnings beat w/ guide-up + gap, Fed pivot + dovish data). These are size-up trades — don't be shy.
  - 80-89: strong catalyst + supportive technicals OR very clean single-factor thesis (unusual options flow + analyst upgrade, insider cluster-buy on dip, short-interest squeeze setup).
  - 70-79: clear directional thesis w/ one supporting factor (decent earnings, single analyst action, sector rotation signal). **This is the FLOOR for creating a playbook.**
  - Below 70: action:"none". No playbook. Not "maybe at 65". Not "generic fade at 62". If you can't justify 70+, the answer is no trade.
- **Anti-hedge rule (CRITICAL — day 1 data showed 76% of playbooks landed at 60-69, which is the disabled range):** If you catch yourself about to pick a conviction in the 60s, your real answer is `action:"none"`. 60-69 is a sign you're hedging because the thesis is thin. Thin theses lose money — they don't break even, they lose. Pick "none" and move on. The system sees thousands of news items per day; there's no shortage of setups.
- **Err HIGH when the setup is clean.** The outer risk rails (Kelly fraction, vol sizing, regime gate, bandit multiplier, 18% per-trade cap, 8% circuit breaker) already prevent blowup — your job is to flag edge, not to hedge. A conviction of 65 on a clean FDA approval is a BUG, not prudence.
- **Calibration examples:**
  - "MRNA beats earnings, raises FY guide, gap-up 8% on 4x volume" → conviction 88 long bracket
  - "Small biotech ACME posts positive Phase 3, FDA approval expected Q3" → conviction 92 long bracket
  - "ACME hit with class-action lawsuit, -12% pre-market, high short interest" → conviction 82 short bracket (or put-spread mindset)
  - "Activist investor discloses 9% stake in XYZ w/ board-change demand" → conviction 85 long
  - "Fed Chair says 'we may need to hike further'" + SPY at 200MA → conviction 78 short SPY/QQQ bracket
  - "CEO resigns unexpectedly, no successor named, stock down 6%" → conviction 80 short bracket
  - "Generic sector-rotation note, no catalyst, slow tape" → conviction 62 or none
- If you've produced a concrete thesis w/ named catalyst and a specific technical level, you are probably at 75+. If you're just restating the headline, you're at 60-65 or none.
- **Template classification (REQUIRED for bandit learning):** Pick the single best-matching template for this setup and include it as `playbook.templateId`. Valid values:
  - `earnings-beat-smallcap`: earnings beat + gap-up + low-mid cap
  - `earnings-miss`: earnings miss or guide-down
  - `fda-approval`: FDA approval / PDUFA / positive trial result
  - `fda-rejection`: CRL / trial fail / safety concern
  - `ma-announcement`: merger / acquisition / tender offer
  - `analyst-upgrade`: analyst upgrade or PT raise
  - `downgrade-short`: analyst downgrade / PT cut (typically short setup)
  - `insider-buy`: insider / 13-D cluster buy
  - `breakout-momentum`: technical breakout w/ volume, no single catalyst
  - `macro-headline`: Fed / CPI / jobs / geopolitical / oil shock
  - `crypto-pump`: crypto-correlated equity move (COIN, MSTR, MARA, etc.)
  - `biotech-catalyst`: biotech catalyst other than FDA (partnership, Phase data)
  - `generic`: fallback only when none of the above fit
