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 (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.

Minervini C · Avoid — The deterministic methodology check is Avoid; wait until the blocking criteria are resolved.

Pivot

Pro level

Published-method rule: Use the tight base's structural pivot; the setup must retain Trend Template leadership into the trigger.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Entry trigger

Pro level

Published-method rule: Require a decisive move through the pivot with volume confirmation, and do not initiate more than 5% above it.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Initial stop

Pro level

Published-method rule: Start at the tighter structural invalidation; the initial loss limit must not exceed roughly 7–8% from entry.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Trail

Rule-based

Published-method rule: Hold the initial stop until the trade proves itself; near +1R move to breakeven, then trail a higher low or rising 10/21-day average once well extended.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.

Exit / invalidation

Pro level

Published-method rule: Exit when the structural stop or a meaningful higher-low/short-term trend violation fires; never widen the stop.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
