⚙️ Trading Strategy
20-day high breakout with 2% confirmation
Waits for price to break above the 20-day high with at least 2% confirmation. Volume should spike on the breakout. Rides the trend until it breaks.
🎯 Best Suited For
Growth stocks breaking out of bases
"Every all-time high was once considered "too expensive.""
📜 Why This Strategy Works
When a stock breaks to new highs, there's no one "trapped" overhead wanting to sell. All the bagholders are gone. The path of least resistance is up.

📖 Historical Origin
Origin: William O'Neil's CANSLIM system
William O'Neil started as a stockbroker in 1958, but his system crystallized in the early 1960s. He studied every big winner for decades and found a pattern: the best stocks broke out to new highs before their biggest moves.
