Logic: Buy when price is above a 20-hour MA (uptrend), MACD(12,26,9) histogram is positive and expanding, RSI(14) is between 50-70, and volume confirms; sell on a 0.8% stop-loss from entry or a 1% trailing stop from the peak price, whichever is tighter.

Universe: each cycle pulls the current technical top-picks list from the system screener (stock_picks.php) — up to 30 top-ranked symbols out of a 60-symbol screened pool, refreshed once per day (cached), plus any symbols already held.
Signal: for each symbol under consideration, ~55 recent trading days of hourly price/volume bars are used to compute a 20-hour trend MA, MACD(12,26,9), and RSI(14) of the hourly close, plus each day's total volume vs its trailing 5-day average.
Buy: triggers when price is above the 20-hour MA (uptrend), the MACD histogram is positive and expanding vs the prior bar (accelerating momentum), RSI(14) is between 50 and 70 (healthy, not overbought), and the day's volume is above its 5-day average.
Sell: triggers on a 0.8% hard stop-loss from entry, or a 1% trailing stop from the peak price since entry — whichever is tighter at any moment. No death-cross wait; exits are proactive.
Sizing: available cash is split evenly across this cycle's qualifying buy candidates (ranked by volume score, highest first), each getting up to 95% of its share; there is no additional per-trade equity cap configured for this account.
Execution: buy/sell decisions are computed from the hourly-bar indicators above, but the fill price and stop-loss check use the live market snapshot price at the moment of execution, not the (potentially stale) bar close.
Cadence: a new cycle runs at most every ~30 seconds, only within the 06:00-20:00 ET trading window; every eligible symbol (held positions plus current screener picks, up to the configured per-cycle limit) is re-evaluated each cycle.
