Minervini VCP
Use this skill to apply Mark Minervini-style Volatility Contraction Pattern analysis: find leading stocks in uptrends, wait for volatility to contract through successive pullbacks, buy the breakout through a pivot, and cut quickly if the setup fails.
When To Use
Use this skill when the user asks for:
- VCP pattern review
- Platform/base breakout analysis
- Tightness and volatility contraction checks
- Moving-average and relative-strength alignment
- Entry, stop, and add plan for a growth leader
Trigger phrases include Minervini, VCP, volatility contraction, tightness, platform, pivot, SEPA, stage 2, and breakout.
Do Not Use When
- The stock is below key moving averages or in a downtrend.
- The base is wide, loose, and volatile.
- The breakout is far extended from the pivot.
- The user wants long-term value analysis only.
Inputs Needed
- Ticker, timeframe, and recent OHLCV
- Moving averages: 50-day, 150-day, 200-day if available
- Relative strength versus market and industry
- VCP contractions, pivot, volume dry-up, and breakout volume
- Earnings/sales growth if available
- Risk budget if sizing is requested
Process
- Confirm stage-2 uptrend and moving-average alignment.
- Check relative strength and leadership.
- Identify contraction sequence: each pullback should get smaller and tighter.
- Confirm volume dries up near the pivot.
- Define pivot, entry, stop, first add, and invalidation.
- Reject loose, extended, or lagging setups.
