Research a stock in 20 minutes — then stop
This is a homework drill, not a trading session. Pull the quote elsewhere, staff the desk, read splits, write one kill-condition, then stop — before fluency turns into a false sense of completion.
Step 1
Get the quote elsewhere
Yahoo, your broker, or Koyfin for last price, a quick chart, and a path to filings. Agents61 is not the tape. Confirm the ticker exists and you are looking at the right share class before you spend seats.
Step 2
Open the desk and pick a mode
Register if you need an account, then ask the committee with the ticker. Use Isolated unless the question is clearly a sequence (trend → cycle → selection → debate). Empty seats stay empty — that is the product.
Step 3
Read the clerk stack first
Agreements before poetry. Splits before the most eloquent seat. If the stack is thin, the run was thin — do not paper over it with a fluent paragraph from one master.
Step 4
Force one kill-condition — then stop
Write what would invalidate the idea in one sentence. If you cannot, you are not done. Do not end the drill with a buy button. Size and execution stay outside Agents61.
Register and run the 20-minute drill on a real ticker
Create an account, staff isolated seats, and read the clerk stack. Same rule as this guide: stop after one kill-condition — research simulation, not a trade ticket.
