momentum-squeeze

momentum-squeeze is a skill for Claude Code from mphinance/alpha-skills. It costs 83 tokens per session (817 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A stock-screening playbook for finding shares with unusually quiet price movement and signs of a possible upward breakout, then assessing pullback entries in an existing uptrend.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps scan stocks for volatility squeezes, find pullback entries, and evaluate where a ticker sits in its cycle from quiet trading to breakout and trend exhaustion.
Why use it?
It gives a repeatable way to judge whether a stock is coiling before a breakout or has already broken out and pulled back, instead of relying on an ad hoc chart reading.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

momentum-squeeze 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 1mo 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.

Momentum & Squeeze Strategy

Two complementary strategies that capture different phases of a stock's momentum cycle. A name typically rotates: Squeeze → breakout → Momentum pullback → trend exhaustion → re-coil → Squeeze again.

1. Volatility Squeeze ("The Snap") — pre-breakout

Find stocks quietly coiling, ready to explode.

Condition Meaning
SqueezeRatio < 1.0 Daily ATR compressed vs weekly ATR
SqueezeRatio < 0.7 Extremely tight — maximum coil
EMA stack aligned 8 > 21 > 34 > 55 > 89 (bullish bias)
Not at 52wk high Avoid flatlined M&A targets
Rel Volume ≥ 1.3x Starting to wake up
SqueezeRatio = ATR(14) / (ATR_Weekly / 2)
  < 0.70  → 🔋 Tight squeeze (ready to snap)
  < 0.85  → ⚡ Moderate
  < 1.00  → 📊 Light compression
  > 1.00  → ❌ Expanded (not squeezed)

Entry signals: Volume Spark (1.5x+), Deep Coil (ADX < 15), Price at EMA.

Thesis: "Gone quiet. Daily volatility compressed against the weekly baseline. EMAs bullishly stacked. Volume picking up. Ready to snap."

2. Momentum with Pullback — mid-trend

Find confirmed uptrends that pulled back to a buyable entry. Requires triple timeframe EMA alignment (8 > 21 > 34 > 55 > 89 on Daily AND Weekly AND Monthly = confirmed mega-trend).

Pullback filter Purpose
SMA50 > EMA200 (D/W/M) Uptrend on all timeframes
Stochastic < 40 Oscillator oversold (the dip)
Within 1 ATR of EMA21 Not overextended
ADX 20–40 Trending but not exhausted

Thesis: "Powerful multi-timeframe uptrend, just pulled back to the 21 EMA, stochastic oversold. Perfect dip buy."

Comparison

Aspect Squeeze Momentum Pullback
Stage Pre-breakout Mid-trend
Volatility Compressed Normal/Expanded
Stochastic Any < 40
Risk / Reward Higher / Higher Lower / Moderate
Timeframe Daily only Daily + Weekly + Monthly

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.
