VCP Breakout Scan Skill

Data dependencies and execution prerequisites

It is recommended to use Wind wind-mcp-skill to obtain underlying data. Before execution, first check whether there is already a local wind-mcp-skill; if not, prompt the user to install:

Skill positioning

This skill is used to find breakout-ready stocks whose volatility gradually contracts, supply gradually weakens, and price structure matures. The output focus is not broadly finding consolidation patterns, but identifying which stocks have already entered the key stage of "compressed volatility, waiting for release," and whether this structure has favorable conditions for a subsequent breakout.

Function overview

The core function of this skill is to screen VCP pre-breakout stocks with sufficient volatility convergence and breakout conditions.

It emphasizes integrating volatility compression, decreasing pullback magnitude, volume convergence, supply-demand improvement, and the market environment to help users build a high-quality list of breakout-ready stocks.

Use scenarios

• The user adopts a volatility contraction strategy to find stocks in the preparation period before a main upward move.
• After strong stocks pull back, it is necessary to determine which ones have completed sufficient shakeout.
• The team needs to screen technical structure candidates that are "only one step away from a breakout."
• It is necessary to convert chart observation into a disciplined watchlist.

Working principles

1. The core of the VCP structure is convergence of volatility and supply; one cannot look only at sideways price movement.
2. It must be checked whether the pullback magnitude gradually narrows, rather than stagnation after a single sharp decline.
3. Volume changes and structural position must be judged together; extremely low trading volume cannot simply be understood as healthy.
4. It is necessary to combine fundamentals or catalyst background to confirm that it is not purely technical noise.
5. Internal implementation methods are not explicitly mentioned in the main text.

Execution process

Step 1: Confirm screening targets and time cycle

First clarify whether the scan target is:

• Market-wide VCP pre-breakout stocks
• Structural screening within a certain sector or style
• A second consolidation of previously strong stocks
• Or a focused technical structure review of watchlist stocks

At the same time, confirm whether the user is focused on a daily-level contraction structure or a higher-timeframe one.

Step 2: Identify the prior uptrend foundation

VCP structures usually appear in stocks that already have an uptrend foundation, so first confirm:

• Whether the stock already had a clear upward leg before entering the contraction period
• Whether the prior rise was supported by fundamentals, themes, or capital flow mainlines
• Whether it belongs to a genuine strong-stock consolidation rather than long-term weak sideways movement

Sideways movement without a prior strong foundation can hardly constitute a high-quality VCP candidate.

Step 3: Check whether volatility contracts step by step

This is the most core judgment step of this skill. Focus on observing:

• Whether each round of pullback is shallower than the previous round
• Whether the high after each recovery is closer to the previous high
• Whether intraday and range volatility show a compression trend
• Whether violent fluctuations clearly decrease in the later stage of consolidation

True volatility contraction should reflect "selling pressure decreasing," not "trading stagnating."

Step 4: Check whether volume converges simultaneously

If volatility contraction lacks volume confirmation, its credibility will drop significantly. It should be judged:

• whether volume gradually shrinks during the pullback phase
• whether there is occasional moderate volume expansion during the rebound phase, indicating absorption
• whether volume mildly picks up as the key level is approached
• whether there is a single high-volume decline that damages the supply-demand balance

Step 5: Define key positions and trigger conditions

For each candidate, it is necessary to clarify:

• where the true breakout trigger level is
• which price area is the most critical supply-demand turning point
• what volume-price confirmation needs to appear at the breakout
• if it fails to hold effectively, how failure should be defined

Step 6: Add fundamental or catalytic support

High-quality VCP candidates often are not just technically well structured. It is also necessary to confirm:

• whether there is support from performance, products, themes, orders, or industry prosperity
• whether the sector is in a strengthening cycle
• if the structure holds, whether the market has reason to give it sustained attention

Step 7: Rank by maturity tiers

Divide candidates into:

• priority targets with mature structure and near trigger
• intermediate targets whose contraction is still forming and still need time
• cautious targets whose structure looks similar but whose supply-demand is not healthy enough

Step 8: Integrate into a volatility contraction breakout draft

The final output should help users know "which stocks have the highest-quality volatility contraction, what to wait for, how to confirm, and when to give up." The main text should retain only the judgment and observation framework.

Quality requirements

1. Volatility compression and volume convergence must be evaluated simultaneously.
2. Do not misjudge ordinary sideways movement or weak consolidation as a VCP.
3. Key levels, confirmation conditions, and invalidation boundaries must be clearly defined.
4. Fundamental or thematic support should be added to avoid purely chart-based conclusions.
5. The output should serve the continuous tracking of breakout-ready stocks.
