Pick a stock to see its signals across 23 techniques; click a technique to draw its chart. The live timing view runs in the GetCoattail app — this page lists every technique it checks, in the app's own words.
A ★ next to a stock in the app means the selected technique's buy signal is on right now. Signals use real Yahoo daily bars; if the bars cannot be loaded the chart is marked unavailable — it is never filled in with invented data.
Basics
| Technique | Role | What it reads |
|---|
| Reading Candles | Confirmation | Reads the balance of buying and selling pressure from candle bodies and wicks. Interpretive — the chart is shown without an automatic signal. |
| Moving Averages | Direction | The golden cross — the 20-day line crossing up through the 60-day line — is the signal. |
| Volume | Confirmation | Marks up-days where volume exceeds twice the 20-day average. |
Masters
| Technique | Role | What it reads |
|---|
| Darvas Box | Entry | A close breaking above a 20-day box formed near the 52-week high. |
| Wyckoff Spring | Entry | Hunts the trap where price briefly breaks support and snaps back. Interpretive — practice it in Holdfire review mode. |
| Turtle Trading | Entry & exit | Entry when the close exceeds the prior 20-day high; the 20-day low is the exit line. |
| Livermore Pivot Breakout | Entry | A break of the 30-day pivot high on rising volume (1.5x the average). |
| Minervini VCP | Entry | Volatility contracting within 5% of the 60-day high — judged mechanically: average true range shrinking across the 5-, 10- and 20-day windows while price holds near the high. |
| O'Neil Cup & Handle | Entry | A recovery to within 3% of the high after a drop of 15% or more from the 120-day high. |
| Sakata Five Methods | Confirmation | The classic candle patterns — three mountains, three rivers, three gaps, three soldiers, three methods. Interpretive — chart only. |
| Elder Triple Screen | Regime filter & entry | Inside a weekly uptrend, a daily stochastic dip below 30. |
Indicators
| Technique | Role | What it reads |
|---|
| RSI | Entry | RSI(14) coming back above 30 after dipping below it. |
| MACD | Direction | The MACD line crossing up through the signal line. |
| Bollinger Bands | Entry | The close re-entering the band after closing below the lower band. |
| ADX | Regime filter | ADX (14) above 25 with +DI above -DI means a live uptrend. |
| Stochastic | Entry | %K (14) crossing up through %D, its 3-day average, while %D is below 20. |
| Ichimoku Cloud | Direction | Price above the cloud with the conversion line above the base line. |
Intraday
| Technique | Role | What it reads |
|---|
| ORB | Entry | Breakouts of the opening range. Needs intraday bars — the daily chart is shown only. |
| VWAP | Entry | Price action around the volume-weighted average price. Needs intraday bars — the daily chart is shown only. |
| Pullback Entry | Entry | In an uptrend above the 60-day line, a dip to the 20-day line that recovers by the close. |
| Volatility Interruption | Entry | Built on the Korean market's volatility-interruption mechanism — not applicable to U.S. stocks. |
| Opening Gap | Entry | A gap-up day opening more than 1% above the prior day's high. |
Risk
| Technique | Role | What it reads |
|---|
| Stops & Risk-Reward | Exit | Not an entry signal — an exit rule. The stop is drawn 2x ATR below the close. |
