Breaking Out — Momentum

What it is

A daily-updated scanner that surfaces stocks triggering breakout and bullish continuation signals from the TraderDaddy detection engine. Learn how to read the signal cards, what each signal type means, and how to cross-reference with unusual flow before entering a trade.

Signal types

• Breakout / Breakdown — price breaking through a key resistance (bullish) or support (bearish) level identified by the TraderDaddy oscillator.
• Bullish / Bearish Continuation — an established trend resuming after a pullback. A lower-risk entry than a fresh breakout because the trend is already in place.

Scan cadence

• Daily — runs once after the close (4:15 PM ET) on end-of-day data. One signal per ticker per type per day; if a breakout fired, a same-day continuation for that ticker is suppressed.
• Hourly — runs at :15 past the hour through the session (the offset accounts for the ~15-minute intraday data delay so the just-closed candle is complete).

Reading the card and workflow

Each card shows the signal type, price + % change at detection, signal strength (Strong/Moderate/Weak), the breakout level breached, SMA 20/50 position, and volume vs. average (highlighted at 2× and 3×).

Intended workflow: wait for a pullback to the breakout level, then confirm with the Unusual Activity feed and GEX before entering. A breakout plus a same-day sweep in the same direction is a higher-quality setup than either alone.
