Leader Template

Q: Is this connected to Mark Minervini?

It is inspired by the trend template from his books, but the rotation and sell rules were built independently by ChartArmory. He has no connection to it.

Q: Do signals change later?

No. It only judges closed daily bars and fills at the next open.

An 8-point screen that only rides the horses already running

Checks 30 large caps every day on 8 points, holds the ones that pass all 8 in 4 slots, and sells without regret when the 50-day line breaks.
