Recent High Breakout Stock Alerts
Detect stocks breaking above a recent chart high with ChartsWatcher. Choose a supported candle interval and distinguish local breakouts from new daily highs.
Understand the trigger
What is Break over recent high?
This alert identifies price breaking over the latest high formed on the candlestick chart for the selected timeframe. Its reference is a recent chart high, which may be below the stock’s high of the day. Changing the interval changes the chart structure under review. ChartsWatcher supports several intraday options as well as a four-hour option for this alert, and calculates it across regular and extended-hours sessions.
An illustrative example
Break over recent high in practice
A hypothetical stock may establish a recent high at $18.60 on its five-minute chart while its earlier daily high remains $19.10. A move above the recent $18.60 level illustrates this alert’s purpose. The stock need not make a new high of the day to cross that nearer reference.
