Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00046 | $0.02319 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.01159 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00464 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00232 |
Grade A, and why
dan-zanger-breakout-strategy scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Dan Zanger Breakout Strategy
Background and Track Record
Dan Zanger turned $10,775 into $42 million in 23 months (1998-2000), verified by the IRS. He spent 21 years (1976-1997) studying charts before his breakout run during the late-1990s tech bull market. His edge came from recognizing recurring price patterns that precede major stock advances.
His core philosophy: Price + Volume = All the information you need.
He uses no complex indicators. Every decision is based on chart patterns, price action, and volume behavior.
Key stocks from his legendary run: Qualcomm, Juniper Networks, JDS Uniphase, Broadcom.
Core Strategy Formula
Success = Preparation + Opportunity
- Master a small set of high-probability chart patterns
- Wait for the right market environment (strong bull market / leading sector)
- Execute with discipline when patterns and volume align
- Cut losses immediately when breakouts fail
- Let winners run and pyramid into strength
The Six Breakout Setups
1. Cup and Handle
Structure: Rounded decline (cup) followed by a short, shallow pullback (handle) near the prior high.
Supply/Demand Logic:
- Left side: profit-taking after a prior advance creates selling pressure
- Bottom: volume dries up as aggressive sellers exit; shares transfer to stronger hands
- Right side: demand returns, pushing price back toward the prior high
- Handle: last wave of sellers (trapped investors exiting at breakeven) creates a shallow pullback with contracting volume
Buy Point: Break above the top of the handle on a surge in volume.
Key Detail: Volume must contract during the handle and expand on the breakout.
2. High Tight Flag
Structure: Explosive rally of 80-100%+ in a few weeks (flagpole), followed by a very shallow sideways consolidation (flag) near the highs.
Supply/Demand Logic:
- Flagpole: massive institutional accumulation drives rapid price appreciation on heavy volume
- Flag: correction is unusually shallow (price stays near highs); volume dries up indicating minimal selling pressure
- Remaining supply gets absorbed during the tight consolidation
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
