Growth Stock Breakouts with EMA, Relative Volume, and Stoch RSI Filters

Summary

This strategy looks for long breakouts in stocks that are consolidating near a fast exponential moving average and trading close to their 52-week high. It triggers when the close exceeds the highest high over a recent lookback and relative volume clears a configurable threshold. Optional filters require bullish EMA conditions and Stoch RSI with its K line above its D line but below an overbought limit.

The script provides several exit choices: moving-average crossunders, percentage stops and targets, or ATR-based stops and targets. Position size can be set as a share quantity or a percentage of strategy equity. The document explains the rules and exposes their parameters, but supplies no performance results or market-by-market validation. The defaults are configurable examples, not evidence that the setup is profitable. The method is long-only, and its signals depend on chart timeframe, price and volume data, and execution assumptions such as zero commission and slippage in the strategy settings.

Key ideas

• Entries combine consolidation near the fast EMA, proximity to a 52-week high, a recent-high breakout, and elevated relative volume.
• The EMA trend and Stoch RSI confirmations can each be enabled or disabled.
• Exits can use EMA crossunders, percentage levels, or ATR-based stop and target prices.
• Position size can be based on equity or a fixed quantity.
• The document describes configurable rules but gives no backtest evidence establishing their performance.
