Skill Positioning

This skill is used to screen, from a group of stocks, the candidate targets "closest to an effective breakout," and to transform vague chart observations into an actionable candidate pool. The output focus is not simply listing stocks that hit new highs, but simultaneously assessing price structure, volume conditions, catalyst background, trade crowding, and invalidation boundaries, helping users focus their attention on the breakout opportunities most worth preparing for in advance.

Function Overview

The core function of this skill is: to screen breakout candidate stocks with mature patterns that are poised to move on increased volume, and to provide trigger conditions.

It emphasizes connecting candidate discovery, structural judgment, priority ranking, and pre-execution verification into a complete chain, avoiding the mistake of writing "looks like it is about to break out" as "can already be entered."

Use Cases

Short-to-medium-term traders need to find, from a stock pool, the targets closest to a breakout.
A research or trading team needs to form the key watchlist for the day before the market opens.
After a sector enters a strengthening phase, it is necessary to identify who is more likely to become the leader first.
The user does not want to watch all stocks and hopes to allocate time first to the candidate stocks with the most complete structures.

Working Principles

Breakout screening must simultaneously cover position, structure, volume, catalysts, and risk, and must not only look at price approaching prior highs.
Any candidate conclusion must include trigger conditions and invalidation boundaries; it cannot have only direction without discipline.
It is necessary to distinguish the three stages of "preparing to break out," "confirmed breakout," and "false breakout" to avoid confusing the stages.
If the market environment does not support broadening, the breakout score of an individual stock should be lowered; it cannot be judged separately from the environment.
The main text presents only the analysis logic and conclusions, and does not discuss the internal invocation process.

Execution Process

Step 1: Confirm the screening scope and trading time frame

First confirm which type of stock pool this screening targets, as well as the user's trading cycle:

Whether it is a whole-market scan, industry screening, or only a watchlist
Whether it is a short-term breakout biased toward 1-5 days, or a swing breakout of 2-8 weeks
Whether the user places more importance on immediate triggers, or is willing to wait for secondary confirmation
Whether the current task is pre-market preparation, intraday narrowing, or weekly candidate pool updates

If the user does not specify, by default proceed with "short-to-medium-term candidate stocks that may form an effective breakout within the most recent one to three weeks."

Step 2: First exclude targets that do not have breakout discussion value

First do a first round of rough screening, removing stocks that are clearly unsuitable for entering the candidate pool, focusing on excluding:

Targets whose long-term trend is downward and which have not yet formed a bottom-rebuilding structure
Targets whose prices have moved unusually but with chaotic volatility and lacking a clear consolidation platform
Targets with insufficient liquidity, overly thin trading, and difficulty forming effective trading absorption
Targets approaching major uncertain events, suspension risk, or overly strong single-news-driven moves

The goal of this step is not to identify the best opportunity, but first to ensure that the remaining candidates have a basis for comparison.

Step 3: Identify consolidation platforms and key resistance levels

For the stocks that remain, focus on determining whether they have formed a breakout preparation structure with trading significance:

Whether there is a clear platform, box, cup with handle, flag, or high-level consolidation zone
Whether the platform duration is sufficient and whether the necessary chip exchange has occurred
Whether the resistance level is clear and whether the user can clearly know "at what price area the breakout occurs"
Whether the current price is too far from the key level, just approaching it, or has already priced it in ahead of time

Only after the position and structure are clearly defined does the subsequent discussion of "breakout probability" become meaningful.

Step 4: Check the volume-price relationship and the quality of chip absorption

The quality of a breakout opportunity lies not in "how much it has risen," but in "whether it is rising healthily." Focus on observing:

Whether volatility converges, selling pressure weakens, and turnover improves during the consolidation period
Whether there is moderate volume expansion rather than disorderly violent swings as the key level is approached
Whether the volume structure on up days and pullback days is relatively strong and reflects active absorption
Whether, historically, there have been multiple failed rallies when approaching the same resistance level

If the volume-price structure shows excessive divergence, priority should be lowered even if the chart looks good.

Step 5: Supplement with catalysts and fundamental background

High-quality breakouts often involve more than just a valid chart pattern; they also need support from a narrative, event, or operational change. It is necessary to confirm:

Whether there are new catalysts recently, such as performance, orders, products, policies, or theme reinforcement
Whether the sector in which the company operates is in an upward phase of capital preference
If the stock price is close to a breakout, whether the current valuation and financial quality are sufficient to support continued attention
Whether there are upcoming major events that could determine the success or failure of the breakout

The purpose of this step is not to rewrite technical stock selection into in-depth fundamental research, but to avoid picking targets with "beautiful charts but hollow logic."

Step 6: Judge the market environment in which the breakout occurs

Even the best individual stock needs a suitable environment to cooperate. It is necessary to judge at the same time:

Whether the market is willing to accept high-level breakouts or strong chasing of gains
Whether a leader within the sector has already reached a high level, bringing positive feedback
Whether the current environment is more suitable for continuation of a main upward wave, or more like a rotational spike under stock-game conditions
If the index, sentiment, or sector enters a retreat phase, whether the success rate of candidate stocks will be significantly suppressed

Breakout screening must evaluate "individual stock structure" and "environmental tolerance" together.

Step 7: Provide candidate priorities and trigger conditions

Layer the remaining targets according to breakout readiness, distinguishing at least:

First priority: mature structure, clear resistance, healthy volume-price, and relatively good catalyst support
Second priority: structure is acceptable, but still needs confirmation from volume, environment, or events
Watch level: has potential, but the timing is too early or uncertainty is relatively high

Each candidate must be given:

Trigger condition
Confirmation signal
Invalidation boundary
If the first trigger point is missed, how to handle it afterward

Step 8: Integrate into a finished draft of breakout candidates

The final output should help users know in a very short time "who to watch first today, what to wait for, under what conditions it counts as valid, and under what conditions not to act." The main text should retain only conclusions, evidence, and a pre-execution verification framework, without showing the intermediate retrieval process.

Quality requirements

Candidate screening must reflect the three elements of structure, volume-price, and catalyst, and must not be ranked only by gains.
Each key target must provide clear trigger conditions and invalidation conditions.
It is necessary to distinguish between "can be watched in advance" and "breakout already confirmed."
If the overall environment is unsupportive, the expected breakout success rate should be clearly lowered rather than forcefully giving aggressive conclusions.
The output must serve real observation and execution, and avoid being written as general technical commentary.
