Base Quality Score
Swing Edge composite of base depth, tightness, pole structure and volume dry-up.
Base quality is a 0–100 composite in Swing Edge research snapshots combining base depth, tightness, prior trend leg, and volume contraction. Higher scores mean a cleaner, more textbook consolidation — not a guarantee of breakout success.
The VCP Coiling hub ranks candidates by base quality first, then volume quality and total pre-breakout score.
