Short-term conviction -2 points.
Price bars, sourced event fields, and benchmark math only. This can adjust displayed short-term conviction; it does not change the stored scanner score or readiness.

- A sourced earnings report is still pending inside the risk window; ordinary technical conviction is reduced until it is out.
