Method Playbook

Trade it like O'Neil EXACT LEVELS · PRO
O'Neil D · Avoid — The deterministic methodology check is Avoid; wait until the blocking criteria are resolved.
Pivot
Pro level
Published-method rule: Use the proper base pivot or handle high after CANSLIM leadership and market-direction checks are satisfied.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Entry trigger
Pro level
Published-method rule: Require a breakout through the pivot on volume at least 40% above average; the valid buy zone ends 5% above the pivot.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Initial stop
Pro level
Published-method rule: Use the setup's structural stop with a hard 7–8% maximum-loss ceiling from the actual entry.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Trail
Rule-based
Published-method rule: Protect progress under constructive support such as the 21-day or 10-week line; a stop may ratchet higher but never lower.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.
Exit / invalidation
Pro level
Published-method rule: Exit on the hard loss limit, a decisive support break, or a rule-based climax/distribution signal; a normal 20–25% advance is reviewed rather than assumed permanent.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

VCP bullish near confirmation
85% built

Possible VCP forming — contractions 11% → 6% → 4%. Watch for a final tighter contraction with volume drying up, then a move through ~261.12 on strong volume. A break below ~249.58 invalidates the base.

Inverse Head & Shoulders bullish forming
80% built

Possible inverse head & shoulders — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close above ~310.18 (neckline) to confirm, with a measured move toward ~394.19. A drop under the right shoulder near 251.93 weakens the structure; a close below the head near 226.16 invalidates it.

LS 238.25 / head 226.16 / RS 251.93, neckline ~310.18, 18.8% below confirmation

Predictive pattern recognition is educational — most forming structures never confirm. Wait for the confirmation level before treating this as a setup.
