  • Focus on what's under the index

    Peter Lynch's checks on every breakout, using only filings that existed before the trade: which ratios mattered and how the company score sizes positions.

  • Focus on buying breakouts on a bull market

    Same breakout strategy with and without an SPY 140-day EMA filter — what the backtest showed about market regime and CAGR.

    Same breakout strategy on top-100 vs ranks 100–1000 — what the backtest showed about momentum universes.

  • Focus on breakouts from tight consolidations

    Loose-range vs tight-base breakouts on the same trigger: what the equity curves showed about where the edge really is.
