Open no full-sized position at $516.23. Take a 25% tactical position only after a close above $534.30, Tier-1 breadth reaches at least 3/7 above the 20-day line, and up-day relative volume is at least 1.2×; add after a weekly close above $568.86, a $561.77 retest holds, and breadth reaches 5/7 above the 50-day line.
The ladder separates a trading stop from thesis falsification. At the $534.30 trigger, reward to the $610 base path versus a $499 close stop is about 2.1:1; a weekly break of $398.36 is the structural failure line.
