US stocks tightening into a volatility contraction
A Volatility Contraction Pattern is what a base looks like when supply is drying up: each pullback is shallower than the last and volume falls away. It is a visual pattern, so no screen reproduces it exactly. What a screen can do is find the names where the measurable parts are true, so you have twenty charts to look at instead of five thousand.

The exact criteria
Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) is Mark Minervini's, published in Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard (2013). It is a pattern you see on a chart, so no screen reproduces it exactly: the nine checks below are its measurable parts, as we read them. Treat them as a shortlist to open charts from, not the pattern itself.
- 1.Price is above both the 150-day and the 200-day moving average1,820 pass
- 2.The 150-day moving average is above the 200-day2,456 pass
- 3.The 200-day moving average is trending up2,311 pass
- 4.The 50-day moving average is above both the 150-day and the 200-day2,103 pass
- 5.Price is above the 50-day moving average1,760 pass
- 6.Price is within 15% of its 52-week high, so the base is near the highs1,503 pass
- 7.Trading in the upper part of its recent range, not breaking down5,260 pass
- 8.Volume is below its 50-day average, so supply is drying up3,061 pass
- 9.Relative strength rank is 70 or better1,514 pass
Each count is that rule applied on its own to every US stock we cover, so you can see which one is doing the work. The list below is the names that pass all of them.

Where our read differs
Of the 80 names above, 3 are flagged Early entry by our own model: still early enough in their move that the trade has room, rather than names that have already run. A screen tells you a stock qualifies; it does not tell you whether you are late. That second question is the one we built the engine to answer.
