"New highs are not the ceilingβ€”they're the floor for what comes next."

Weathered face with laugh lines earned in a hundred different markets. Wears cargo pants with too many pockets (each one has a chart in it).

βš™οΈ 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.""

πŸ“œ 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.

πŸ“– 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.
