Adding two new high-conviction mean-reversion candidates: BYIT (sharp single-day drop, score 78) and PZC (uptrend context selloff, score 72). After trades, portfolio will have ~12 active positions within the 10-position max for non-zero qty, well within gross leverage limits. CCC already held so no duplicate buy needed despite being a candidate."

Holding profitable positions (CAR, OKTA, ADS, UKW, STJ) and flat/small-loss positions that still have reversion potential. Adding two new high-conviction mean-reversion candidates: BYIT (sharp single-day drop, score 78) and PZC (uptrend context selloff, score 72). After trades, portfolio will have ~12 active positions within the 10-position max for non-zero qty, well within gross leverage limits. CCC already held so no duplicate buy needed despite being a candidate."
