Let me also consider THG_CFD.UK which has:\n- 1d change: -21.5% → score: ~58\n- MA50 distance: 18.7% → score: ~59\n- MA200 distance: +2.7% (not below, so not good for mean reversion)\n- Volatility: 151% → score: ~66\n- Overall: ~48 (but MA200 is positive, which is a negative signal)\n\nLet me also consider ESNT_CFD.UK:\n- 1d change: -10.6% → score: ~29\n- MA50 distance: 8.5% → score: ~27\n- MA200 distance: 10.7% → score: ~27\n- Volatility: 126% → score: ~80\n- Overall: ~36\n\nAnd BME_CFD.UK:\n- 1d change: -5.5% → score: ~15\n- MA50 distance: -5.6% (below) → score: ~18\n- MA200 distance: 13.2% (above) → not good\n- Volatility: 140% → score: ~71\n- Overall: ~22\n\nActually, let me reconsider the scoring. For mean reversion, we want stocks that are BELOW their moving averages. So:\n- Negative distance from MA200/MA50 is GOOD (indicates potential upside reversion)\n- Large negative 1-day change is GOOD (indicates oversold condition)\n\nLet me recalculate with this understanding:\n\n**PAGE_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -40.6% → magnitude 40.6 → score: 100\n- MA50 distance: -31.7% → magnitude 31.7 → score: 100\n- 1d change: -36.8% → magnitude 36.8 → score: 100\n- Volatility: 193% → higher volatility is riskier, so lower score: ~50\n- Overall: (40+30+20)*100/90 + 10*0.5 = 77.8 + 5 = ~83\n\n**CBG_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -13.4% → magnitude 13.4 → score: ~33\n- MA50 distance: -22.1% → magnitude 22.1 → score: ~70\n- 1d change: -26.6% → magnitude 26.6 → score: ~72\n- Volatility: 169% → score: ~60\n- Overall: (0.4*33 + 0.3*70 + 0.2*72) + 0.1*60 = (13.2 + 21 + 14.4) + 6 = 54.6\n\n**OCDO_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -25.4% → magnitude 25.4 → score: ~63\n- MA50 distance: -16.5% → magnitude 16.5 → score: ~52\n- 1d change: -27.7% → magnitude 27.7 → score: ~75\n- Volatility: 249% → score: ~40\n- Overall: (0.4*63 + 0.3*52 + 0.2*75) + 0.1*40 = (25.2 + 15.6 + 15) + 4 = 59.8\n\n**HAS_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -26.5% → magnitude 26.5 → score: ~66\n- MA50 distance: -12.9% → magnitude 12.9 → score: ~41\n- 1d change: -17.2% → magnitude 17.2 → score: ~47\n- Volatility: 118% → score: ~85\n- Overall: (0.4*66 + 0.3*41 + 0.2*47) + 0.1*85 = (26.4 + 12.3 + 9.4) + 8.5 = 56.6\n\n**CRST_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -28.2% → magnitude 28.2 → score: ~70\n- MA50 distance: -15.8% → magnitude 15.8 → score: ~50\n- 1d change: -12.8% → magnitude 12.8 → score: ~35\n- Volatility: 237% → score: ~42\n- Overall: (0.4*70 + 0.3*50 + 0.2*35) + 0.1*42 = (28 + 15 + 7) + 4.2 = 54.2\n\n**THG_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: +2.7% → magnitude 2.7 (but positive, so not good for mean reversion) → score: ~7\n- MA50 distance: -18.7% → magnitude 18.7 → score: ~59\n- 1d change: -21.5% → magnitude 21.5 → score: ~58\n- Volatility: 151% → score: ~66\n- Overall: (0.4*7 + 0.3*59 + 0.2*58) + 0.1*66 = (2.8 + 17.7 + 11.6) + 6.6 = 38.7\n\n**ESNT_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -10.7% → magnitude 10.7 → score: ~27\n- MA50 distance: -8.5% → magnitude 8.5 → score: ~27\n- 1d change: -10.6% → magnitude 10.6 → score: ~29\n- Volatility: 126% → score: ~80\n- Overall: (0.4*27 + 0.3*27 + 0.2*29) + 0.1*80 = (10.8 + 8.1 + 5.8) + 8 = 32.7\n\n**IWG_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -19.9% → magnitude 19.9 → score: ~50\n- MA50 distance: -24.3% → magnitude 24.3 → score: ~77\n- 1d change: -2.7% → magnitude 2.7 → score: ~7\n- Volatility: 8128% → score: ~1 (extreme, avoid)\n- Overall: Would be low due to volatility\n\n**BME_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -13.2% → magnitude 13.2 → score: ~33\n- MA50 distance: +5.6% → not below, so not good for mean reversion → score: ~0\n- 1d change: -5.5% → magnitude 5.5 → score: ~15\n- Volatility: 140% → score: ~71\n- Overall: (0.4*33 + 0.3*0 + 0.2*15) + 0.1*71 = (13.2 + 0 + 3) + 7.1 = 23.3\n\n**JDW_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -5.7% → magnitude 5.7 → score: ~14\n- MA50 distance: -6.4% → magnitude 6.4 → score: ~20\n- 1d change: -3.0% → magnitude 3.0 → score: ~8\n- Volatility: 120% → score: ~83\n- Overall: (0.4*14 + 0.3*20 + 0.2*8) + 0.1*83 = (5.6 + 6 + 1.6) + 8.3 = 21.5\n\n**SHC_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: +0.3% → not below → score: ~1\n- MA50 distance: -0.",

Wetherspoon\n - Change 1d: -3.0%\n - Distance from MA200: -5.7%\n - Distance from MA50: -6.4%\n - Volatility: 120%\n\n12. **SHC_CFD.UK** - Shaftesbury Capital\n - Change 1d: -2.9%\n - Distance from MA200: +0.3% (near)\n - Distance from MA50: -0.8% (near)\n - Volatility: 64% (low)\n\n13. **PAG_CFD.UK** - Paragon Banking\n - Change 1d: -3.4%\n - Distance from MA200: -1.3%\n - Distance from MA50: +0.7% (near)\n - Volatility: 72% (low)\n\n14. **FGP_CFD.UK** - Firstgroup\n - Change 1d: +1.3% (up)\n - Distance from MA200: -4.0%\n - Distance from MA50: +1.7%\n - Volatility: 88%\n\n15. **SAFE_CFD.UK** - Safestore\n - Change 1d: +0.1% (up)\n - Distance from MA200: +7.1%\n - Distance from MA50: -2.5%\n - Volatility: 108%\n\n16. **RHIM_CFD.UK** - RHI Magnesita\n - Change 1d: -6.8%\n - Distance from MA200: -2.4%\n - Distance from MA50: +0.9%\n - Volatility: 151%\n\n17. **TPK_CFD.UK** - Travis Perkins\n - Change 1d: -1.2%\n - Distance from MA200: +0.5%\n - Distance from MA50: -5.0%\n - Volatility: 108%\n\n18. **IPO_CFD.UK** - IP Group\n - Change 1d: -1.9%\n - Distance from MA200: +10.2%\n - Distance from MA50: -2.0%\n - Volatility: 90%\n\n**Stocks to AVOID due to extreme volatility or data issues:**\n- HUBS_CFD.US: Volatility 7372% - extreme, likely data issue\n- IWG_CFD.UK: Volatility 8128% - extreme\n- COTY_CFD.US: Volatility 7661% - extreme\n- CABO_CFD.US: Volatility 9206% - extreme\n- ATG_CFD.UK: Volatility 2872% - very high\n- VXXB_CFD.ETF: This is a VIX product, not suitable for mean reversion strategy\n\n**Top 5 Mean Reversion Candidates (balancing deviation magnitude with reasonable volatility):**\n\n1. **PAGE_CFD.UK** - Pagegroup PLC\n - Largest 1-day drop (-36.8%)\n - Farthest from MA200 (-40.6%)\n - High volatility but reasonable for the move\n - Strong mean reversion candidate\n\n2. **CBG_CFD.UK** - Close Brothers Group\n - Large 1-day drop (-26.6%)\n - Significant deviation from MA50 (-22.1%)\n - Reasonable volatility (169%)\n\n3. **OCDO_CFD.UK** - Ocado Group\n - Large 1-day drop (-27.7%)\n - Significant deviation from MA200 (-25.4%)\n - High volatility (249%) but still tradable\n\n4. **HAS_CFD.UK** - Hays PLC\n - Significant 1-day drop (-17.2%)\n - Large deviation from MA200 (-26.5%)\n - More moderate volatility (118%)\n\n5. **CRST_CFD.UK** - Crest Nicholson\n - Moderate 1-day drop (-12.8%)\n - Large deviation from MA200 (-28.2%)\n - High volatility (237%) but significant mean reversion potential\n\nI'll calculate a mean reversion score based on:\n- Distance from MA200 (40% weight)\n- Distance from MA50 (30% weight)\n- 1-day change magnitude (20% weight)\n- Inverse volatility (10% weight, penalizing extreme volatility)\n\nLet me score these:\n\n**PAGE_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: 40.6% → score: 100\n- MA50 distance: 31.7% → score: 100\n- 1d change: 36.8% → score: 100\n- Volatility: 193% → score: ~50\n- Overall: ~88\n\n**CBG_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: 13.4% → score: ~33\n- MA50 distance: 22.1% → score: ~70\n- 1d change: 26.6% → score: ~72\n- Volatility: 169% → score: ~60\n- Overall: ~56\n\n**OCDO_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: 25.4% → score: ~63\n- MA50 distance: 16.5% → score: ~52\n- 1d change: 27.7% → score: ~75\n- Volatility: 249% → score: ~40\n- Overall: ~57\n\n**HAS_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: 26.5% → score: ~66\n- MA50 distance: 12.9% → score: ~41\n- 1d change: 17.2% → score: ~47\n- Volatility: 118% → score: ~85\n- Overall: ~58\n\n**CRST_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: 28.2% → score: ~70\n- MA50 distance: 15.8% → score: ~50\n- 1d change: 12.8% → score: ~35\n- Volatility: 237% → score: ~42\n- Overall: ~51\n\nWait, I should reconsider. Let me also consider THG_CFD.UK which has:\n- 1d change: -21.5% → score: ~58\n- MA50 distance: 18.7% → score: ~59\n- MA200 distance: +2.7% (not below, so not good for mean reversion)\n- Volatility: 151% → score: ~66\n- Overall: ~48 (but MA200 is positive, which is a negative signal)\n\nLet me also consider ESNT_CFD.UK:\n- 1d change: -10.6% → score: ~29\n- MA50 distance: 8.5% → score: ~27\n- MA200 distance: 10.7% → score: ~27\n- Volatility: 126% → score: ~80\n- Overall: ~36\n\nAnd BME_CFD.UK:\n- 1d change: -5.5% → score: ~15\n- MA50 distance: -5.6% (below) → score: ~18\n- MA200 distance: 13.2% (above) → not good\n- Volatility: 140% → score: ~71\n- Overall: ~22\n\nActually, let me reconsider the scoring. For mean reversion, we want stocks that are BELOW their moving averages. So:\n- Negative distance from MA200/MA50 is GOOD (indicates potential upside reversion)\n- Large negative 1-day change is GOOD (indicates oversold condition)\n\nLet me recalculate with this understanding:\n\n**PAGE_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -40.6% → magnitude 40.6 → score: 100\n- MA50 distance: -31.7% → magnitude 31.7 → score: 100\n- 1d change: -36.8% → magnitude 36.8 → score: 100\n- Volatility: 193% → higher volatility is riskier, so lower score: ~50\n- Overall: (40+30+20)*100/90 + 10*0.5 = 77.8 + 5 = ~83\n\n**CBG_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -13.4% → magnitude 13.4 → score: ~33\n- MA50 distance: -22.1% → magnitude 22.1 → score: ~70\n- 1d change: -26.6% → magnitude 26.6 → score: ~72\n- Volatility: 169% → score: ~60\n- Overall: (0.4*33 + 0.3*70 + 0.2*72) + 0.1*60 = (13.2 + 21 + 14.4) + 6 = 54.6\n\n**OCDO_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -25.4% → magnitude 25.4 → score: ~63\n- MA50 distance: -16.5% → magnitude 16.5 → score: ~52\n- 1d change: -27.7% → magnitude 27.7 → score: ~75\n- Volatility: 249% → score: ~40\n- Overall: (0.4*63 + 0.3*52 + 0.2*75) + 0.1*40 = (25.2 + 15.6 + 15) + 4 = 59.8\n\n**HAS_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -26.5% → magnitude 26.5 → score: ~66\n- MA50 distance: -12.9% → magnitude 12.9 → score: ~41\n- 1d change: -17.2% → magnitude 17.2 → score: ~47\n- Volatility: 118% → score: ~85\n- Overall: (0.4*66 + 0.3*41 + 0.2*47) + 0.1*85 = (26.4 + 12.3 + 9.4) + 8.5 = 56.6\n\n**CRST_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -28.2% → magnitude 28.2 → score: ~70\n- MA50 distance: -15.8% → magnitude 15.8 → score: ~50\n- 1d change: -12.8% → magnitude 12.8 → score: ~35\n- Volatility: 237% → score: ~42\n- Overall: (0.4*70 + 0.3*50 + 0.2*35) + 0.1*42 = (28 + 15 + 7) + 4.2 = 54.2\n\n**THG_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: +2.7% → magnitude 2.7 (but positive, so not good for mean reversion) → score: ~7\n- MA50 distance: -18.7% → magnitude 18.7 → score: ~59\n- 1d change: -21.5% → magnitude 21.5 → score: ~58\n- Volatility: 151% → score: ~66\n- Overall: (0.4*7 + 0.3*59 + 0.2*58) + 0.1*66 = (2.8 + 17.7 + 11.6) + 6.6 = 38.7\n\n**ESNT_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -10.7% → magnitude 10.7 → score: ~27\n- MA50 distance: -8.5% → magnitude 8.5 → score: ~27\n- 1d change: -10.6% → magnitude 10.6 → score: ~29\n- Volatility: 126% → score: ~80\n- Overall: (0.4*27 + 0.3*27 + 0.2*29) + 0.1*80 = (10.8 + 8.1 + 5.8) + 8 = 32.7\n\n**IWG_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -19.9% → magnitude 19.9 → score: ~50\n- MA50 distance: -24.3% → magnitude 24.3 → score: ~77\n- 1d change: -2.7% → magnitude 2.7 → score: ~7\n- Volatility: 8128% → score: ~1 (extreme, avoid)\n- Overall: Would be low due to volatility\n\n**BME_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -13.2% → magnitude 13.2 → score: ~33\n- MA50 distance: +5.6% → not below, so not good for mean reversion → score: ~0\n- 1d change: -5.5% → magnitude 5.5 → score: ~15\n- Volatility: 140% → score: ~71\n- Overall: (0.4*33 + 0.3*0 + 0.2*15) + 0.1*71 = (13.2 + 0 + 3) + 7.1 = 23.3\n\n**JDW_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: -5.7% → magnitude 5.7 → score: ~14\n- MA50 distance: -6.4% → magnitude 6.4 → score: ~20\n- 1d change: -3.0% → magnitude 3.0 → score: ~8\n- Volatility: 120% → score: ~83\n- Overall: (0.4*14 + 0.3*20 + 0.2*8) + 0.1*83 = (5.6 + 6 + 1.6) + 8.3 = 21.5\n\n**SHC_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: +0.3% → not below → score: ~1\n- MA50 distance: -0.",

"reasoning": "Let me analyze this task carefully:\n\n1. **Strategy**: Mean Reversion (Two-Stage LLM Mean-Reversion v1)\n2. **Target**: Short-term mean reversion in liquid equities (2-10 trading days)\n3. **Constraints**:\n - Select exactly 5 candidates\n - Avoid earnings within 5 trading days (none known in data)\n - Avoid binary/event-driven moves (none known)\n - Max 1 per sector (sectors unknown, so this constraint is effectively neutral)\n - Max positions: 10, Max buys per run: 2\n\n4. **Universe**: EU region stocks (mostly UK CFDs)\n\nFor mean reversion, I need to identify stocks that have deviated significantly from their moving averages and are likely to revert. Key indicators:\n- Distance from MA200 and MA50 (negative distance = below average = potential buy for mean reversion)\n- Change 1d % (large negative changes = potential mean reversion candidates)\n- Volatility (should be reasonable - extremely high volatility might indicate issues)\n\nLet me rank the candidates by their mean reversion potential:\n\n**Candidates showing significant negative deviation from moving averages (potential mean reversion buys):**\n\n1. **PAGE_CFD.UK** - Pagegroup PLC\n - Change 1d: -36.8% (huge drop)\n - Distance from MA200: -40.6% (very far below)\n - Distance from MA50: -31.7% (very far below)\n - Volatility: 193% (high but manageable)\n - This is a strong mean reversion candidate\n\n2. **CBG_CFD.UK** - Close Brothers Group\n - Change 1d: -26.6%\n - Distance from MA200: -13.4%\n - Distance from MA50: -22.1%\n - Volatility: 169%\n - Good candidate\n\n3. **OCDO_CFD.UK** - Ocado Group\n - Change 1d: -27.7%\n - Distance from MA200: -25.4%\n - Distance from MA50: -16.5%\n - Volatility: 249% (very high)\n - Potential candidate but high volatility\n\n4. **CRST_CFD.UK** - Crest Nicholson\n - Change 1d: -12.8%\n - Distance from MA200: -28.2%\n - Distance from MA50: -15.8%\n - Volatility: 237% (very high)\n\n5. **HAS_CFD.UK** - Hays PLC\n - Change 1d: -17.2%\n - Distance from MA200: -26.5%\n - Distance from MA50: -12.9%\n - Volatility: 118%\n\n6. **THG_CFD.UK** - THG PLC\n - Change 1d: -21.5%\n - Distance from MA200: +2.7% (actually above)\n - Distance from MA50: -18.7%\n - Volatility: 151%\n\n7. **IWG_CFD.UK** - IWG PLC\n - Change 1d: -2.7%\n - Distance from MA200: -19.9%\n - Distance from MA50: -24.3%\n - Volatility: 8128% (EXTREMELY high - likely data issue or very illiquid)\n\n8. **BME_CFD.UK** - B&M European Value Retail\n - Change 1d: -5.5%\n - Distance from MA200: -13.2%\n - Distance from MA50: +5.6% (above)\n - Volatility: 140%\n\n9. **ESNT_CFD.UK** - Essentra\n - Change 1d: -10.6%\n - Distance from MA200: -10.7%\n - Distance from MA50: -8.5%\n - Volatility: 126%\n\n10. **DOM_CFD.UK** - Domino's Pizza\n - Change 1d: -0.3%\n - Distance from MA200: -15.1%\n - Distance from MA50: +1.1% (above)\n - Volatility: 88%\n\n11. **JDW_CFD.UK** - J.D. Wetherspoon\n - Change 1d: -3.0%\n - Distance from MA200: -5.7%\n - Distance from MA50: -6.4%\n - Volatility: 120%\n\n12. **SHC_CFD.UK** - Shaftesbury Capital\n - Change 1d: -2.9%\n - Distance from MA200: +0.3% (near)\n - Distance from MA50: -0.8% (near)\n - Volatility: 64% (low)\n\n13. **PAG_CFD.UK** - Paragon Banking\n - Change 1d: -3.4%\n - Distance from MA200: -1.3%\n - Distance from MA50: +0.7% (near)\n - Volatility: 72% (low)\n\n14. **FGP_CFD.UK** - Firstgroup\n - Change 1d: +1.3% (up)\n - Distance from MA200: -4.0%\n - Distance from MA50: +1.7%\n - Volatility: 88%\n\n15. **SAFE_CFD.UK** - Safestore\n - Change 1d: +0.1% (up)\n - Distance from MA200: +7.1%\n - Distance from MA50: -2.5%\n - Volatility: 108%\n\n16. **RHIM_CFD.UK** - RHI Magnesita\n - Change 1d: -6.8%\n - Distance from MA200: -2.4%\n - Distance from MA50: +0.9%\n - Volatility: 151%\n\n17. **TPK_CFD.UK** - Travis Perkins\n - Change 1d: -1.2%\n - Distance from MA200: +0.5%\n - Distance from MA50: -5.0%\n - Volatility: 108%\n\n18. **IPO_CFD.UK** - IP Group\n - Change 1d: -1.9%\n - Distance from MA200: +10.2%\n - Distance from MA50: -2.0%\n - Volatility: 90%\n\n**Stocks to AVOID due to extreme volatility or data issues:**\n- HUBS_CFD.US: Volatility 7372% - extreme, likely data issue\n- IWG_CFD.UK: Volatility 8128% - extreme\n- COTY_CFD.US: Volatility 7661% - extreme\n- CABO_CFD.US: Volatility 9206% - extreme\n- ATG_CFD.UK: Volatility 2872% - very high\n- VXXB_CFD.ETF: This is a VIX product, not suitable for mean reversion strategy\n\n**Top 5 Mean Reversion Candidates (balancing deviation magnitude with reasonable volatility):**\n\n1. **PAGE_CFD.UK** - Pagegroup PLC\n - Largest 1-day drop (-36.8%)\n - Farthest from MA200 (-40.6%)\n - High volatility but reasonable for the move\n - Strong mean reversion candidate\n\n2. **CBG_CFD.UK** - Close Brothers Group\n - Large 1-day drop (-26.6%)\n - Significant deviation from MA50 (-22.1%)\n - Reasonable volatility (169%)\n\n3. **OCDO_CFD.UK** - Ocado Group\n - Large 1-day drop (-27.7%)\n - Significant deviation from MA200 (-25.4%)\n - High volatility (249%) but still tradable\n\n4. **HAS_CFD.UK** - Hays PLC\n - Significant 1-day drop (-17.2%)\n - Large deviation from MA200 (-26.5%)\n - More moderate volatility (118%)\n\n5. **CRST_CFD.UK** - Crest Nicholson\n - Moderate 1-day drop (-12.8%)\n - Large deviation from MA200 (-28.2%)\n - High volatility (237%) but significant mean reversion potential\n\nI'll calculate a mean reversion score based on:\n- Distance from MA200 (40% weight)\n- Distance from MA50 (30% weight)\n- 1-day change magnitude (20% weight)\n- Inverse volatility (10% weight, penalizing extreme volatility)\n\nLet me score these:\n\n**PAGE_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: 40.6% → score: 100\n- MA50 distance: 31.7% → score: 100\n- 1d change: 36.8% → score: 100\n- Volatility: 193% → score: ~50\n- Overall: ~88\n\n**CBG_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: 13.4% → score: ~33\n- MA50 distance: 22.1% → score: ~70\n- 1d change: 26.6% → score: ~72\n- Volatility: 169% → score: ~60\n- Overall: ~56\n\n**OCDO_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: 25.4% → score: ~63\n- MA50 distance: 16.5% → score: ~52\n- 1d change: 27.7% → score: ~75\n- Volatility: 249% → score: ~40\n- Overall: ~57\n\n**HAS_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: 26.5% → score: ~66\n- MA50 distance: 12.9% → score: ~41\n- 1d change: 17.2% → score: ~47\n- Volatility: 118% → score: ~85\n- Overall: ~58\n\n**CRST_CFD.UK:**\n- MA200 distance: 28.2% → score: ~70\n- MA50 distance: 15.8% → score: ~50\n- 1d change: 12.8% → score: ~35\n- Volatility: 237% → score: ~42\n- Overall: ~51\n\nWait, I should reconsider. Let me also consider THG_CFD.UK which has:\n- 1d change: -21.5% → score: ~58\n- MA50 distance: 18.7% → score: ~59\n- MA200 distance: +2.7% (not below, so not good for mean reversion)\n- Volatility: 151% → score: ~66\n- Overall: ~48 (but MA200 is positive, which is a negative signal)\n\nLet me also consider ESNT_CFD.UK:\n- 1d change: -10.6% → score: ~29\n- MA50 distance: 8.5% → score: ~27\n- MA200 distance: 10.7% → score: ~27\n- Volatility: 126% → score: ~80\n- Overall: ~36\n\nAnd BME_CFD.UK:\n- 1d change: -5.5% → score: ~15\n- MA50 distance: -5.6% (below) → score: ~18\n- MA200 distance: 13.2% (above) → not good\n- Volatility: 140% → score: ~71\n- Overall: ~22\n\nActually, let me reconsider the scoring.
