Base Breakout Setup
A simple horizontal consolidation that resolves with a breakout above the range high on heavy volume. The catch-all for breakouts that don't fit a more specific pattern (VCP, Cup & Handle, etc.) but show clean accumulation.
Target before stop: 30% reached +20% before −8% within 40 sessions. Sample: n=37 eligible setups. Average: +1.9% per setup (+0.24R).
Source-bar window: 2025-03-17–2026-09-04. Entry requires an executable breakout fill after the signal; unresolved setups receive the full replay window. Historical and illustrative, not predictive. No brokerage slippage, fees, taxes, or individualized sizing.
