Skill Positioning

This skill is used to screen from a group of stocks the candidates "closest to an effective breakout," and to transform vague chart observations into an executable candidate pool. The output focus is not simply listing stocks that hit new highs, but simultaneously assessing price structure, volume conditions, catalyst background, trading 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: screen breakout candidate stocks with mature patterns that are poised to move on increased volume, and provide trigger conditions.

It emphasizes connecting candidate discovery, structure judgment, priority ranking, and pre-execution verification into a complete chain, avoiding the mistake of writing "looks close to breaking out" as "already can be entered."

Use Cases

  • Short-to-medium-term traders need to find the targets closest to breakout from a stock pool.
  • A research or trading team needs to form the day's key watchlist before the market opens.
  • After a sector enters a strengthening phase, it is necessary to identify who is more likely to lead and 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 structure.

Working Principles

  1. Breakout screening must simultaneously cover position, structure, volume, catalysts, and risk; it cannot only look at price approaching the prior high.
  2. Any candidate conclusion must be accompanied by trigger conditions and invalidation boundaries; it cannot have only direction without discipline.
  3. It must distinguish the three stages of "preparing to break out," "confirmed breakout," and "false breakout" to avoid stage confusion.
  4. If the market environment does not support diffusion, the breakout score of an individual stock should be lowered; it cannot be judged separately from the environment.
  5. 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:

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

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

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

First conduct a first round of rough screening, removing stocks clearly unsuitable for entering the candidate pool, with emphasis on excluding:

  • Targets with a long-term downward trend that 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 effects

The goal of this step is not to find the best opportunity, but first to ensure 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 it has undergone the necessary chip exchange
  • Whether the resistance level is clear and whether users can clearly know "at what price zone the breakout occurs"
  • Whether the current price is too far from the key level, just approaching it, or has already been prematurely exhausted

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 is not primarily about "how much it has risen," but about "whether it has risen healthily." Focus on observing:

  • Whether volatility has converged, selling pressure has weakened, and turnover has improved during the consolidation period
  • Whether there is moderate volume expansion rather than disorderly violent swings as it approaches the key level
  • Whether the volume structure on up days versus pullback days is relatively strong and whether it reflects active absorption
  • Whether historically, when approaching the same resistance level, there have been multiple failed attempts to push higher

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

Step 5: Supplement catalysts and fundamental background

High-quality breakouts often are not just about the chart forming; they also need support from narrative, events, or operational changes. Need to confirm:

  • Whether there are recent new catalysts such as earnings, orders, products, policies, or theme reinforcement
  • Whether the sector the company is in is in a period of upward capital preference
  • If the stock price is approaching 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 deep fundamental research, but to avoid picking targets that are "pretty in chart but hollow in logic."

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

Even the best individual stock needs a suitable environment to cooperate. Must simultaneously judge:

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

Breakout screening must combine "individual stock structure" and "environmental permissiveness" in the assessment.

Step 7: Give candidate priority levels and trigger conditions

Layer the remaining targets by breakout readiness, at least distinguishing:

  • First priority: mature structure, clear resistance, healthy volume-price, 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 conditions
  • Confirmation signals
  • Invalidation boundaries
  • 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 an extremely 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 the pre-execution verification framework, and should not show the intermediate retrieval process.

Quality Requirements

  1. Candidate screening must reflect the three elements of structure, volume-price, and catalysts, and must not rank solely by price gain.
  2. Each key target must provide clear trigger conditions and invalidation conditions.
  3. It is necessary to distinguish between "can be watched in advance" and "breakout already confirmed."
  4. If the overall environment is unsupportive, the expected breakout success rate should be explicitly lowered, rather than forcibly giving aggressive conclusions.
  5. The output must serve real observation and execution, and avoid being written as general technical commentary.
