Breakout Logic + AI Picks

Proprietary breakout detection identifies volume spikes, price compression, and momentum signals. AI then generates actionable picks with entry, target, and stop-loss levels delivered to your dashboard daily.

📊

Live Dashboard

Real-time positions, P/L tracking, live price updates, and market intel — gainers, losers, and volume spikes at a glance.

🔗

Multi-Broker Trading

Connect your E*Trade or Alpaca account. Execute trades directly from the dashboard. Paper trade first, go live when ready.

🛡️

Bracket Orders

Automatic stop-loss and take-profit orders on every buy. Set your risk tolerance and the system handles the exits.

📈

Balance Management

Track deposits, withdrawals, per-pick allocation, and daily P/L across all brokers. Trading/cash split management built in. Balance tracking is for simulation purposes — you control your own funds.

Transparent Track Record

Every pick the system generates is tracked with entry price, target, and final result. New users see the full system history from day one — nothing hidden, nothing cherry-picked.

From signal to trade in minutes

Breakout detection finds the signals. AI generates additional picks. You make the final call.

Breakout Detection Scans the Market

Click SKIP to pass on a pick, or BAD to flag it as a poor pick. Both remove the pick from your actionable list. Skipped and bad picks are tracked for performance analysis — see which ones would have been winners to refine your strategy.

🔥 Breakout Detection Parameters
