          "reasoning": "I need to select exactly 5 candidates for a short-term mean reversion strategy based on the provided universe data. Let me analyze the requirements:\n\n1. Target: Short-term mean reversion in liquid equities\n2. Selection criteria:\n   - Select exactly 5 candidates\n   - Avoid earnings within 5 trading days (none have earnings dates, so this is fine)\n   - Avoid binary/event-driven moves (none have notable news headlines)\n   - Avoid sector concentration: max 1 per sector (but sectors are unknown for most)\n\nFor mean reversion, I should look for:\n- Stocks that have moved significantly from their moving averages (negative distance from MA50/200 indicates potential oversold conditions)\n- Reasonable volatility (not too extreme)\n- Strong 1-day change that might be reverting\n\nLet me evaluate each stock:\n\nLooking at the key metrics:\n- distance_from_ma50_pct: negative values suggest oversold (below MA50)\n- distance_from_ma200_pct: negative values suggest longer-term oversold\n- volatility_20d_pct: should be reasonable (not extremely high)\n- change_1d_pct: significant drop might indicate mean reversion opportunity\n\nI'll prioritize stocks that:\n1. Have negative distance from MA50 (oversold short-term)\n2. Have reasonable volatility (not too extreme)\n3. Show significant 1-day drops\n\nLet me score them:\n\nBest candidates for mean reversion (oversold with potential to bounce):\n\n1. **BPT_CFD.UK**: -7.5% from MA50, -11.5% from MA200, -5.9% 1-day change, 77.7% volatility - GOOD\n2. **BFAM_CFD.US**: -13.6% from MA50, -23% from MA200, -3.8% 1-day change, 50.5% volatility - GOOD\n\n\n3. **BYIT_CFD.UK**: -13.7% from MA50, -27.2% from MA200, -9.9% 1-day change, 86.4% volatility - GOOD but high volatility\n4. **AJG_CFD.US**: -5.8% from MA50, -18.1% from MA200, -2.8% 1-day change, 59.1% volatility - GOOD\n5. **BRO_CFD.US**: -6.6% from MA50, -21.5% from MA200, 2.8% 1-day change, 57.5% volatility - Mixed signals\n\nContinuing my analysis, I'm seeing some nuanced patterns in the data. The BYIT_CFD.UK stands out with its significant price drop and substantial distance from moving averages, which could indicate a strong mean reversion potential. However, its high volatility requires careful consideration. The AJG_CFD.US shows a moderate oversold condition with a smaller daily change, suggesting a more stable mean reversion opportunity.\n\nThe BRO_CFD.US presents an interesting case with a positive 1-day change despite being oversold, which might indicate early momentum in a potential price recovery. I'll need to cross-reference these observations with additional market indicators to validate these initial findings.
