Near-Close Operations
The intended production cadence is relative to the market close rather than a fixed wall-clock time.
Suggested Routine
| Time | Action |
|---|---|
| Close - 15 min | Optional broad scan to see whether many names are forming lower-wick reversals |
| Close - 5 min | Refresh candidates and remove names with weak close-location or wide risk |
| Close - 2 min | Run final scan, review top candidates manually, and decide whether any deserve a small planned entry |
| Close + 1 min | Save final report and ingest studyable examples into the model book |

If scheduling this scan, use an exchange calendar and run at market_close - 2 minutes. Do not hard-code 15:58 ET without handling early-close sessions and market holidays.
Handling Half Days
On early-close days, either:
- Run at the adjusted close minus two minutes, or
- Disable near-close actionability and use the output for study only.
