Separate score from the 8-point Trend Template (8/8): the Trend Template grades the price structure, this grades the company & leadership (earnings, sales, margins, RS rank). A stock can ride a clean trend while its fundamentals lag, so the two often differ by design — they are not the same checklist.

EXACT LEVELS · PRO
Minervini B · Watch — The deterministic methodology check is Watch; wait for the failing or incomplete criteria to improve before the trigger can qualify.
Pivot

Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Trail
Rule-basedPublished-method rule: Hold the initial stop until the trade proves itself; near +1R move to breakeven, then trail a higher low or rising 10/21-day average once well extended.

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~276.87 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~115.24. A push back above 369.95 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 438.50 invalidates it.
