Technical Scanner

Mark Minervini's trend template: price stacked above rising 50, 150 and 200-day averages, well off the yearly low and near the yearly high.

Reward approach: Aim for at least 2–3× the risk taken; trail the stop under the 50-day average as the trend extends.

Volatility Contraction Pattern: a stock in a Stage 2 trend whose price swings narrow and volume dries up before a possible breakout.

Reward approach: Tight stop allows 3× or more of risk if the breakout follows through.

William O'Neil's CAN SLIM technical side: price clearing a prior multi-month high on strong volume.

Reward approach: O'Neil's rule of thumb: take partial profits around 20–25% gains.

Stan Weinstein's Stage 2: price breaking above its long-term (30-week ≈ 150-day) average and prior resistance with volume.

Reward approach: Hold while price stays above a rising 30-week average; positional, not quick trades.

Nicolas Darvas's box theory: stocks pushing above a defined trading box near the 52-week high with volume.

Reward approach: Move the stop up as each new, higher box forms.

Jesse Livermore-style pivotal points: price clearing a key earlier high (or low) with a volume surge.

Reward approach: Let winners run while the move stays beyond the pivot; cut losers quickly.
