High Tight Flag Setup
A rare Minervini-style explosive leader pattern with O'Neil roots. The stock doubles or more in 4–8 weeks (the pole), then consolidates 10–25% for 3–5 weeks in a tight flag. The HTF signals explosive institutional demand. When it breaks out, it can continue with another major move.
Historical replay numbers are unavailable because the artifact is stale (source bars are 15 days old). The page does not substitute zeros or older results.
How this is measured →Setup Criteria
- › Flagpole: 100%+ advance in 4–8 weeks
- › Flag depth: 10–25% max (tighter = better)
- › Flag duration: 3–5 weeks
- › Volume contraction during flag (major dryup)
- › Stock must have dominant EPS/sales growth
Breakout above the flag high on heavy volume.
Below the bottom of the flag — small position given high price level.
