Breakout Health
No active breakout tracked — Legend AI monitors daily for pivot-point breaks. What's a breakout?
🕯 Latest candle: Shooting Star — Long upper shadow with a small body near the low — sellers rejected higher prices. A caution flag when price is extended above a pivot.

Separate score from the 8-point Trend Template (7/8): the Trend Template grades the price structure, this grades the company & leadership (earnings, sales, margins, RS rank). A stock can ride a clean trend while its fundamentals lag, so the two often differ by design — they are not the same checklist.

O'Neil D · Avoid — The deterministic methodology check is Avoid; wait until the blocking criteria are resolved.
Pivot

Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Entry trigger
Pro levelPublished-method rule: Require a breakout through the pivot on volume at least 40% above average; the valid buy zone ends 5% above the pivot.

Trail
Rule-basedPublished-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 levelPublished-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.

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~189.74 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~72.11. A push back above 247.49 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 307.37 invalidates it.
