1) TL;DR
Breakout Radar helps you grade signal quality, not just detect movement. It matters because weak breakouts fail fast and trap entries. Use it before every breakout trade decision.
2) Hook (Pain-Driven)
Most breakout losses come from confusing motion with quality. Price can pop, but without participation and structure, follow-through is low.
3) Problem
Raw breakouts are noisy. You need a quality model that confirms whether the move is likely to continue or fade.
4) Solution (Widget Introduction)
Use Breakout Radar labels and score decomposition to inspect structure, volume participation, and catalyst support in one view.
5) Logic Breakdown (Formula + Thresholds)
- High quality: SignalQuality ≥ 80 and Volume Surge Ratio > 1.5
- Medium quality: 65-79 with at most one weak component
- Low quality: < 65 or multiple weak components
6) Practical Use (IF X → THEN Y)
- If quality is high and regime is supportive, then stage entry.
- If quality is medium, then wait for one more confirmation session.
- If quality is low, then skip regardless of rank.
Should I buy now? Buy only high-quality breakouts. Is this signal strong? Strong means structure plus participation. What should I do next? Confirm quality band, then execute or skip.
7) Common Mistakes
- Buying every breakout label the same way
- Ignoring participation weakness in early spikes
- Skipping regime checks when volatility is high
This is not a standalone buy signal and requires trend confirmation and position sizing rules.
