Skill Positioning
This skill is used to screen candidate targets "closest to effective breakout" from a group of stocks, and convert vague graphical observations into an executable candidate pool. The focus of the output is not simply listing stocks that hit new highs, but simultaneously evaluating price structure, volume conditions, catalyst background, trading congestion, and failure boundaries, helping users focus on the breakout opportunities most worthy of advance preparation.
Function Overview
The core function of this skill is: screening breakout candidate stocks with mature patterns and pending volume expansion, and providing trigger conditions.
It emphasizes connecting candidate discovery, structure judgment, priority sorting, and pre-execution verification into a complete chain, avoiding mistaking "looks like it's about to break out" as "ready to enter".
Application Scenarios
- Short-to-medium-term traders need to find targets closest to breakout from the stock pool.
- Research or trading teams need to form a key observation list for the day before the market opens.
- After a sector enters the strengthening phase, it is necessary to identify which stock is more likely to become the leader first.
- Users do not want to monitor all stocks and hope to prioritize their time on candidate stocks with the most complete structure.
Working Principles
- Breakout screening must cover position, structure, volume, catalyst, and risk simultaneously, not just looking at prices approaching previous highs.
- Any candidate conclusion must be accompanied by trigger conditions and failure boundaries; it cannot only have a direction without discipline.
- It is necessary to distinguish between the three stages of "preparing for breakout", "confirming breakout", and "false breakout" to avoid stage confusion.
- If the market environment does not support expansion, the breakout score of individual stocks should be lowered; judgment cannot be made independently of the environment.
- Only analysis logic and conclusions are presented in the main text, and internal calling processes are not discussed.
Execution Process
Step 1: Confirm Screening Scope and Trading Time Frame
First confirm which type of stock pool this screening is aimed at, as well as the user's trading cycle:
- Is it a full-market scan, intra-industry screening, or only self-selected stocks
- Is it a short-term breakout of 1-5 days, or a swing breakout of 2-8 weeks
- Does the user prioritize immediate triggering, or is willing to wait for secondary confirmation
- Is the current task pre-market preparation, intraday narrowing, or weekly candidate pool update
If the user does not specify, it defaults to "short-to-medium-term candidate stocks that may form an effective breakout within the recent one to three weeks".
Step 2: First Eliminate Targets Without Breakout Discussion Value
First conduct a first-round rough screening to remove stocks that are clearly unsuitable for entering the candidate pool, focusing on excluding:
- Targets with a long-term downward trend and no bottom reconstruction structure yet formed
- Targets with price movements but chaotic fluctuations and no clear consolidation platform
- Targets with insufficient liquidity, overly thin trading volume, and difficulty forming effective trading support
- Targets approaching major uncertain events, suspension risks, or overly driven by a single news item
The goal of this step is not to find the best opportunities, but to first ensure that the remaining candidates have a basis for comparison.
Step 3: Identify Consolidation Platforms and Key Resistance Levels
For the retained stocks, focus on judging whether they have formed a breakout preparation structure with trading significance:
- Whether there is a clear platform, box, cup-and-handle, flag, or high-level consolidation area
- Whether the platform duration is sufficient and whether necessary chip exchange has occurred
- Whether the resistance level is clear, and whether the user can clearly know "in which price range the breakout occurs"
- Whether the current price is too far from the key level, just approaching, or already overdrawn in advance
Only after clearly defining the position and structure can the subsequent discussion of "breakout probability" be meaningful.
Step 4: Check Volume-Price Relationship and Chip Support Quality
The quality of a breakout opportunity lies not in "how much it has risen", but in "whether the rise is healthy". Focus on observing:
- Whether there is volatility convergence, reduced selling pressure, and improved turnover during the consolidation period
- Whether there is moderate volume expansion instead of disorderly sharp fluctuations when approaching the key level
- Whether the volume structure on rising days and pullback days is relatively strong, reflecting active support
- Whether there have been multiple failed attempts to break through the same resistance level in history
If the volume-price structure shows excessive divergence, even if the chart looks good, the priority should be lowered.
Step 5: Supplement Catalyst and Fundamental Background
High-quality breakouts are often not just based on chart patterns, but also require support from narratives, events, or operational changes. It is necessary to confirm:
- Whether there are new catalysts such as performance, orders, products, policies, or theme strengthening recently
- Whether the sector where the company is located is in an upward period of capital preference
- If the stock price is close to breakout, whether the current valuation and financial quality are sufficient to support continued attention
- Whether there is an upcoming major event that may 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 selecting targets with "beautiful charts but hollow logic".
Step 6: Judge the Market Environment for Breakout
No matter how good an individual stock is, it needs a suitable environment to match. It is necessary to judge simultaneously:
- Whether the market is willing to accept high-level breakouts or strong chasing of rising prices
- Whether there is already a leader in the sector that has reached a high level, bringing positive feedback
- Whether the current environment is more suitable for the continuation of the main uptrend, or more like a rotational surge under stock game
- If the index, sentiment, or sector enters a downturn, whether the success rate of candidate stocks will be significantly suppressed
Breakout screening must combine the evaluation of "individual stock structure" and "environmental permissibility".
Step 7: Provide Candidate Priorities and Trigger Conditions
Stratify the remaining targets according to breakout readiness, at least distinguishing:
- First priority: mature structure, clear resistance, healthy volume-price, good catalyst alignment
- Second priority: acceptable structure, but still need to wait for volume, environment, or event confirmation
- Observation level: has potential, but the timing is too early or the uncertainty is high
Each candidate must provide:
- Trigger conditions
- Confirmation signals
- Failure boundaries
- How to handle if the first trigger point is missed
Step 8: Integrate into Breakout Candidate Draft
The final output should help users know "who to watch first today, what to wait for, what constitutes a valid breakout, and what situations to avoid" in a very short time. The main text only retains conclusions, evidence, and pre-execution verification framework, and does not show intermediate retrieval processes.

Quality Requirements
- Candidate screening must reflect the three elements of structure, volume-price, and catalyst, not just ranking by price increase.
- Each key target must provide clear trigger conditions and failure conditions.
- It is necessary to distinguish between "can pay attention in advance" and "breakout has been confirmed".
- If the overall environment does not support, the expected breakout success rate should be clearly lowered instead of forcibly giving radical conclusions.
- The output must serve real observation and execution, and avoid writing as general technical comments.
