Separate score from the 8-point Trend Template (5/8): 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.

📋 Trade it like Weinstein EXACT LEVELS · PRO

Minervini O'Neil Livermore Weinstein Darvas Wyckoff

Weinstein D · Watch — The deterministic methodology check is Watch; wait for the failing or incomplete criteria to improve before the trigger can qualify.

Pivot

Pro level

Published-method rule: Use Stage 1 resistance and the rising 30-week moving average as the Stage 2 transition boundary.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Entry trigger

Pro level

Published-method rule: Require a Stage 2 breakout above resistance on expanding volume; avoid entries while the 30-week average is flat or falling.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Initial stop

Pro level

Published-method rule: Start below the breakout structure or Stage 1 support where a return to the base invalidates the Stage 2 transition.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Trail

Rule-based

Published-method rule: Trail beneath rising 30-week support or later higher swing lows while Stage 2 remains intact.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.

Exit / invalidation

Pro level

Published-method rule: Exit on a decisive 30-week support failure or a Stage 3/Stage 4 transition; never treat a failed Stage 2 break as healthy consolidation.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Head & Shoulders bearish forming

75% built

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~239.34 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~166.21. A push back above 280.59 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 312.48 invalidates it.

LS 282.53 / head 312.48 / RS 280.59, neckline ~239.34, vol_fading=no

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