Define a research universe 500, 1000 names... depends on your time dedicated for market research each day & weekend.
Make sure you go through the same list every single day.
What you miss earlier you might capture later.
You see the development of price charts better
Open each chart with the same template. Don't go into style drift by saying: Hmm.. let me see what X indicator is doing or let me go into hourly chart etc.
You have 1hr (or how much it takes to finish the list you have built) to finish the work and move off the screen.
Before you finalize, see if any pattern fit your criteria. Save those to a separate folder and review them the next day first thing after the market close. That's your watchlist.
(2) Symmetrical triangle formed right below the 200-day average. Breakout took place at the same price level which I call inflection point. When such condition is met, it is a high conviction setup for me.
(3) Breakout took place with a gap opening. This was a clear breakaway gap as explained by Schabacker.
Breakout took place above the 200-day average and it was a change in trend as well. A significant technical development.
Richard Schabacker - Technical Analysis and Stock Market Profits on Gaps...
I incorporate breakaway gaps into my analysis as I mainly trade breakouts. Breakaway gaps will appear at the time of breakout through the pattern boundary.
If after a breakout your position is holding its gains and not turning negative (no challenge of pattern boundary), chances are high the move will extend way beyond the price objective.
In such cases employ a trend following tool to capture more of the uptrend.
