4 Manual Tuning Guide

You can manually change the filters to fit your style:

Raise the proximity threshold to 98% to see stocks only at the breakout edge.
Add a minimum of 500,000 volume to eliminate low liquidity noise.
Set Market Cap to a minimum of 1,000M to filter out small company noise.
Add a minimum of +0.5 to Change (%) to see only candidates rising today.

5 Real-World Scenario

AAPL is trading at 97% of its 52-week peak with above-average volume. This is a signal to test the peak. Historically, 60% of stocks at 95%+ proximity set a new peak within 10 days.

6 Risks & Warnings

Stocks near peaks can be "bull traps."
Individual breakouts often fail during a general market decline.
Always set a stop-loss—peak rejection can lead to sharp drops.
