What Breakout does

Breakout writes a swing or intraday momentum strategy for Superior Trade using prior highs, range expansion, and trailing stops. It also flags that long-only breakouts can fail in downtrends and should use a regime filter or multi-pair scan.

Breakout is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Breakout comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, ai-agents, algorithmic-trading, backtesting and equities.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Strategy: Momentum · Breakout

When to use

A user asks for "breakout", "momentum", "trend following", "buy new highs", "Donchian breakout", "range expansion". Single or multi-pair, hour-scale, with a trailing stop.

Honest framing

The reference backtest was unprofitable (36% WR, −0.95% PnL) on BTC/USDC:USDC 1h Jan-May 2026 — but BTC fell −13% in that window. Long-only breakouts in a downtrend are structurally a losing setup. The strategy is correct; the regime was wrong.

Two practical paths to make this work:

Add a regime filter (e.g. only enter when close > ema_200 on the higher timeframe).
Run on a wider, multi-pair scan so trending alts contribute even when BTC is weak.
