FAQPage Schema
How do I generate breakout trade plans from VCP screener results?

To generate breakout trade plans from VCP screener results, provide a VCP screener JSON as input. The planner calculates Minervini-style entry, stop, target, and position sizing, then outputs JSON plus Markdown reports.

What is a VCP breakout strategy and how does position sizing work?

A VCP breakout strategy follows Minervini's methodology to enter stocks on volatility contraction breakouts. Position sizing calculates share quantity using worst-case entry prices while enforcing strict portfolio risk limits.

Does this trade planner support Alpaca API order templates?

You can use your existing VCP screener JSON output as long as it contains the appropriate fields required by the planner. The skill parses the JSON to automate risk calculations and generate trade plans.

What risk management limits are applied when calculating position sizes?
