Volume Confirmation (Minervini's Rule)

At 4:30 PM Israel (market open), check each stock's volume on TradingView:

1. Open the stock chart on TradingView (1-min or 5-min timeframe) 2. At 5:00 PM Israel (30 min after open), check total volume for the day 3. If volume already exceeds the "30-Min Target" above = institutions are buying, GO 4. If volume is below target = no conviction yet, WAIT

> "On the day of a breakout, I want to see volume at least 150% of average. In the first hour you can already tell - if volume is running hot, institutions are moving in." - Mark Minervini

System Info

Entry Strategy: RELAXED (RS + Price > MA50) - "Loose Entry, Tight Exit" Exit Strategy: O'Neil + Minervini Trailing Stops (BE at +16%, Trail at +20%) Rotation Rules: MU Rule (20%+ winners protected), RS Threshold (+5)
