Is the COST momentum real?

Engine state as of 2026-09-01: LONG aged 10 bars, open uPnL -2.8%, total return -10.4%. Momentum is treated as a step-four check only — it never overrides the quality (100/100) and valuation gates that come before it.

How to read an aging signal

10 bars is relatively fresh, but every signal still owes you a current reason. uPnL measures the engine's history, not your future.
