# base-breakout-scan Find US equities in **valid pre-breakout bases** — tight consolidations near 52-week highs after a prior advance, with quality metrics (Bollinger Band squeeze, volume dry-up, rising relative strength) showing the setup is "loaded". Surface a daily watchlist of which names are 🚀 breaking out today, 🔥 imminent, ⏳ coiled, or 📊 still forming, and track which setups persist across runs. The natural sibling of `momentum-scan`: that one finds **what's already running** (high trailing return); this one finds **what's about to run** (the build-up before the move). They filter for opposite price patterns by design — momentum-scan's `--min-return-pct 30` floor would reject every name this scan surfaces, since basers are ranging, not climbing. **The big idea**: a stock that's already up 50% in 3 months is usually too extended to chase. A stock that ran up 50%, then consolidated tightly for 8-20 weeks while sellers exhausted and RS quietly improved, is a high-quality setup *if* the trend holds — that's what this finds. The literature backing is the William O'Neil / Mark Minervini / Stan Weinstein school: their published win rates on this exact pattern are 40-50%, which is enough to be profitable when paired with a 7-8% stop loss (asymmetric payoff). By default each run surfaces four entry layers on every pick: (1) a **composite Base Score** (0-100) summarizing setup quality, (2) a **Signal** classification (🚀 breakout today / 🔥 imminent / ⏳ coiled / 📊 formin
