SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

πŸ’‘ This Skill requires yfinance, pandas, numpy, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It removes the guesswork of discovering which US large-cap equities are forming tight, high-quality pre-breakout bases so you can focus on the names most likely to trigger soon with disciplined risk levels.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Valid base detection: Screens US large caps for Minervini Trend Template passers and candidate bases using a geometry/width heuristic with squeeze and relative-strength gating.
  • Actionable signal staging: Classifies candidates into πŸš€ breakout today, πŸ”₯ imminent, ⏳ coiled, or πŸ“Š forming based on proximity to the pivot plus quality metrics.
  • Risk framing with ATR stops: Computes an ATR-based stop anchored to the pivot (pivot βˆ’ mult Γ— ATR) and tracks persistence in history to identify maturing setups.
  • Daily persistence + follow-through context: Logs snapshots per trading day, shows breakouts, dropouts (with reasons), and tracks which setups persist across runs.

Quick Start

Run the scan to get today’s breakout/near-breakout watchlist for valid pre-breakout base setups across US large caps.

Frequently Asked Questions about base-breakout-scan

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I screen stocks for pre-breakout base patterns and breakout signals?β–Ό

You can screen for pre-breakout base patterns by running a daily stock screener that applies Minervini trend-template gating, base geometry, and squeeze metrics to identify valid setups. This Skill automates that process to produce actionable watchlists for US large-cap equities.

What is the difference between coiled, imminent, and breakout-ready stocks in equity screening?β–Ό

In equity screening, stocks are classified by breakout proximity based on their distance to the pivot price. Candidates are staged as breakout today, imminent, coiled, or forming, allowing you to prioritize watchlists by setup maturity and readiness.

How do I calculate an ATR-based stop loss for a breakout trade?β–Ό

To calculate an ATR-based stop loss for a breakout trade, compute the pivot price minus a multiplier times the Average True Range (pivot βˆ’ mult Γ— ATR). This Skill automatically anchors and computes ATR stops for every candidate it identifies.

Can I use this breakout scanner for single-ticker chart analysis?β–Ό

No, this breakout scanner is designed for daily screening workflows across US large-cap equities, not single-ticker chart analysis. It identifies and ranks valid pre-breakout base patterns across a broad universe to generate actionable watchlists.

Does the stock screener track breakout watchlists over multiple trading days?β–Ό

Yes, the stock screener tracks breakout watchlists over multiple trading days using persistent history snapshotting. It logs daily snapshots to show which setups persist, break out, or drop out, providing follow-through context for maturing candidates.

What relative strength criteria are used to validate a pre-breakout stock base?β–Ό

Validating a pre-breakout stock base requires passing the Minervini trend template alongside relative-strength gating and base geometry heuristics. These technical analysis criteria ensure a tight, high-quality setup before ranking by breakout proximity.
