This study examined the top 100 performing stocks over the previous year and identified 58 clean Qullamaggie-style breakout setups. The trades carried average risk of approximately 3% and produced an average return of 62%, equivalent to more than 20 times the initial risk. The findings show how strong momentum, orderly consolidation and precise entries can create exceptional asymmetric trading opportunities.
