The chart checks and indicators, explained

Every chip on a Breakaway card measures one thing. Breakaway checks all of them for you, every 15 seconds, so you never have to work any of this out yourself. These pages are here if you want to know what a chip means, why traders watch it, and how the scanner scores it. The indicators traders know by name, from RSI to the golden cross, are here too, each shown on real stocks.
