Step-by-step

  1. What this page is

    Fresh clears and early momentum structures from the nightly breakout scan — not mid-trend Continuation pauses (those live on Momentum Continuation). Three pattern tags: High Tight Flag, Active Breakout, and Fresh Turnaround Breakout.

  2. High Tight Flag (HTF)

    Pole-and-flag geometry: a rapid advance (pole) followed by a tight, low-volume flag. The card shows pole/flag stats the model measured.

  3. Active Breakout

    First clear move out of a multi-week base on strong volume (typically 1.5×+ vs recent averages). Classic Stage 2 launch structure in the scan.

  4. Fresh Turnaround Breakout

    Early reversal clear after a downtrend or base repair — turnaround momentum with volume checked against the 50-day average.

  5. Filter by pattern

    Use pattern pills to isolate HTF, Active BO, or Fresh Turnaround. Each bucket describes different structure.

  6. Volume & score

    Every tagged row carries volume-quality scoring. Check Vol Q, Vol ×50d, total score, and Fail risk on each card.

  7. vs Base Formation

    Base Formation lists names still below the pivot in base shape. Buildup rows already triggered breakout-style rules.

  8. Research workflow

    Filter → open card → stock page for full metrics and chart levels. Use Position Sizing separately if you work out size.

Detailed reference

Buildup vs continuation

Buildup = earlier-stage clears (HTF, Active BO, Fresh Turnaround). Continuation = mid-trend pause. Both from one daily breakout pass.

Vol ×50d

Signal-day volume divided by the 50-day average. Higher = heavier participation on the day the model flagged the move.

Fields on each card

  • Total score (0–100) — weighted mix of base quality, RS, volume participation, and failure-risk flags.
  • Signal — short label from the score band (Very Strong down to Weak). Describes the row, not an action.
  • RS rank — percentile vs other names in the same nightly scan (higher = stronger relative performance).
  • Vol Q — volume quality tag (dry-up in a base, surge on a break, low participation on a clear, etc.).
  • From pivot — distance (%) from the scan’s pivot level; extension context only.
  • Fail risk — flag when structure looks extended, late, or prone to false breaks in the model.
  • Vol ×50d — how the signal-day volume compared to the 50-day average on breakout-style scans.

Filter pills

Pills like All, Strongest, F&O, Vol Confirmed, and Leading RS only hide rows on your screen. They do not re-run the scan or change saved data.
