Here are all 13.

Every one is checked the same way on every stock, every 15 seconds. You never have to run one yourself.

Trend
  • The moving averages stacked in order, 8 over 21 over 50 over 200
  • Holding above a rising 21-day line
  • The weekly chart agreeing with the daily
  • A higher high and a higher low than the session before
  • Within 5% of its 52-week high
Participation
  • Volume at least 1.5 times its 20-day average
  • Volume dried up under 0.7 times average while it rests
  • More volume on up days than down days over 50 sessions
Compression
  • The daily range in the tightest quarter of its own year
  • Bollinger Bands squeezed inside the Keltner Channels
  • The narrowest range of the last seven sessions
Accumulation
  • On-balance volume at a 20-day high
  • Closing in the top third of the day's range
  • Undercut the 10-day low and closed back above it

Heavy volume and dried-up volume are opposites, so 13 is the most a stock can show at once.

One stock card: the quality score badge, the trait count out of 13, the trend word, the pills for each scoring part, and four meters for trend, participation, compression, and accumulation

Four groups, one card

Trend: the moving averages stacked and rising. Participation: volume expanding or drying up. Compression: a squeeze forming. Accumulation: on-balance volume at a high, closes near the top of the bar. Each group is a meter with its count.

The same rule on every stock

Every trait is checked against the same definition on every stock, every 15 seconds, so the count means the same thing on every stock. Seven or more is uncommon. Nine or more is rare.

The score builds on it

The trait count is the start. The Quality Score adds the long-term trend, company size, profit from the filing, news, insider trades, and government trades, and prints every point with its reason.

Questions

Straight Answers

How does the free trial work?

Seven days, no card. Sign up with your email and you are in; the trial starts that moment, and confirming the address turns on alerts by email and receipts. Everything in the plan is open for the seven days. When it ends the scanner locks until you subscribe, and your watchlist, alerts, and saved scans are kept and come back the moment you do. One trial per person, so a second email or a second device does not start another.

What does it cost?

One plan with everything in it: $29 a month, $69 for three months or $249 a year. The first 100 yearly members pay $199 a year and keep that price. You pick the billing period when the trial ends, and payments go through Stripe, so Breakaway never sees your card.

Can I cancel?

Yes, from the billing page in your dashboard, in two clicks. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.

Where does the data come from?

Daily bars, quotes, reference data, headlines, and short interest come from Massive, formerly Polygon, a licensed market data vendor. The age of the quotes is shown at the top of every page. Insider trades, notable holders and profits come straight from the SEC. That means Form 4 filings, 13F filings and XBRL financial data on EDGAR. Government trades come from the public STOCK Act and Office of Government Ethics filings. The market-wide headlines on the market line also come from the public headline feeds CNBC, MarketWatch and Yahoo Finance publish, shown as the headline, the source and a link to the article. Splits, dividends, and the financial statements on each ticker page come from the vendor's reference data. The 8-K filings on EDGAR are read for the items that move a price. Five years of history is loaded for every stock. So the 200-day and 52-week traits and the setup odds rest on real history. Options flow is not part of the product.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, and it works well. Breakaway was designed for a phone screen first. You get one column of cards. The movers and your watchlist are strips you swipe. The map's tables scroll sideways. Every control sits within reach of a thumb. Alerts arrive as push notifications on the phone itself. On an iPhone, add Breakaway to your Home Screen first and push notifications work from there. The whole ticker page works one-handed, chart and trade plan included. Nothing overflows and nothing needs pinching.

Is this investment advice?

No. It is a screening tool that ranks technical and news conditions. It does not know your situation and it is not a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Please do your own research.
