MAD Setups and the Playbook

The setups we focus on, what each one looks like, and where nightly detection surfaces them. The playbook is the reference; the detection is the sweep.

This guide is part of Stock Alerts + Tools.

What Is in This Guide

  • The playbook documents each setup with an illustrative chart and what the scan looks for.
  • Detection runs nightly across the whole market.
  • Setups appear on the dashboard, in the scanner, and per-symbol.
  • Both need Premium Stock Alerts.
  • The base rate for chart patterns applies to these exactly as it does to any.
