Unleveraged share cap at top of entry band: — shares (scenario, not a position recommendation)
Technical exit / reduction warnings
- No listed trend-break rule triggered; this does not establish safety.
Warnings refer only to the displayed daily bar; intraday or historical states require review.
My position / hypothetical trade check
Enter cost and an initial stop below cost. Missing values do not imply a position.
Inputs are page-only scenarios, not saved or submitted as orders. Cost is not an automatic stop; cost and quotes must use consistent split adjustments.
Limitations: current-data research, not performance-backtested or author-endorsed. VCP uses fixed segments; RS is universe-relative. Earnings announcement dates, sales acceleration, margins, industry leadership and catalysts still need manual review. Holidays are handled conservatively as weekdays. Stops do not guarantee fills; sizing excludes fees, slippage and other portfolio risk.
