From symbol page to Hunt
When ATHENA context is worth acting on versus when to keep reading—and which Hunt mode matches your question.
Why this page exists
Symbol pages are dense. Hunt is goal-oriented. This guide connects the two without repeating the full Hunt, Cash Hunt, and optimization reference.
Step 1 — Read the symbol page with discipline
Start with Reading a symbol page in three minutes: timestamp, stage, AI Signal, and whether panels agree. If stamps are old or panels fight, fix that before Hunt—see When panels disagree and Status, delays, and “is it broken?”.
Step 2 — Decide what question you are really asking
| Your question | Best next step in IRIS |
|---|---|
| “Should I replace a loser I already hold?” | Hunt in replace mode (nominate the holding to exit). You get replacement candidates, often with sector context. |
| “Is ticker X a good add to what I already own?” | Hunt in interest / suitability style flow for that candidate. You get fit reasoning vs your book. |
| “Is my whole book drifted or late-cycle?” | Hunt general assessment—health, weak names, paginated swap ideas. |
| “I have cash and want ranked buys under my caps.” | Cash Hunt, not replace mode. |
| “I want a full draft portfolio under constraints.” | Optimize portfolio (DIONYSUS)—see Hunt vs optimization. |
Step 3 — Actionable vs cosmetic ATHENA context
Lean toward acting (after your own risk checks) when: stage and AI Signal align, confidence is meaningful for you, SATA or gates match your rules, and you have a clear invalidation (see Interpreting confidence in practice).
Lean toward waiting when: data is stale, Pattern Direction and AI Signal disagree without a story you accept, or the name fails your liquidity / concentration / thesis rules—even if Hunt later still surfaces it.
ATHENA does not carry your tax, macro, or fundamental thesis—see How ATHENA fits your trading process. Hunt inherits those limits.
Step 4 — After Hunt returns
- Compare Hunt’s reasoning to what you read on the symbol page for the same ticker. If they clash, trust the newer analysis or repeat batch refresh if your workspace allows.
- If Hunt and optimization disagree, treat that as two opinions—see How Hunt and Cash Hunt fit your process.
