Screen US stocks for Stockbee-style Momentum Burst setups using 4% breakout, range expansion, and volume triggers.
What is stockbee-momentum-burst-screener?
Identifies short-term swing momentum candidates using Stockbee methodology, screening for 4% breakouts, dollar breakouts, range expansion, and volume expansion with setup-quality scoring. Use when analyzing 3-5 day burst setups or reviewing whether a daily breakout meets A/B/C setup criteria.
- Screens US equities for 4% breakout, dollar breakout, and range expansion triggers
- Scores setup quality using volume expansion, base contraction, close location, and risk-distance metrics
- Applies failure filters such as prior 3-day run-up and recent 4% breakdown detection
- Generates structured JSON and markdown reports with candidate ratings (A/A-/B/Watch-only/Rejected)
- Supports three input modes: FMP live universe scan, explicit symbol list, or offline OHLCV JSON
- Integrates with downstream skills (technical-analyst, position-sizer, trader-memory-core) for trade planning
How to install stockbee-momentum-burst-screener
npx skills add https://github.com/tradermonty/claude-trading-skills --skill stockbee-momentum-burst-screener- FMP API key (export FMP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here) for live universe and historical OHLCV data
- Alternatively, provide daily OHLCV data as JSON file (--prices-json mode requires no API key)
- Python 3 environment with required dependencies
How to use stockbee-momentum-burst-screener
- 1.Choose an input mode: FMP universe scan (--fmp-universe), explicit symbols (--symbols NVDA SMCI...), or offline JSON (--prices-json data/daily_ohlcv.json)
- 2.Run the screening script with your chosen mode and output directory (--output-dir reports/)
- 3.Review the generated JSON and markdown reports, noting trigger type, setup score, rating, and reject reasons for each candidate
- 4.Filter candidates by rating: send A/A- to technical-analyst for chart validation, keep B candidates on watchlist, retain rejected candidates for post-analysis
- 5.Hand off validated candidates to position-sizer and trader-memory-core for trade planning and execution
Use cases
- Screen a watchlist of 50–300 symbols for momentum burst candidates at market open or end-of-day
- Review whether a specific stock's daily breakout qualifies as A-grade setup quality
- Generate a filtered candidate list to hand off to technical-analyst for manual chart validation
- Build a swing-trading watchlist from FMP universe filtered by momentum burst triggers
- Validate setup quality before position sizing and risk calculation
- Swing traders seeking short-term momentum setups
- Traders using Stockbee or Pradeep Bonde methodology
- Quantitative traders building candidate-generation workflows
- Portfolio managers screening for 3-5 day burst opportunities
stockbee-momentum-burst-screener FAQ
A short-term swing setup characterized by a 4% price breakout, dollar breakout, or range expansion with volume expansion, prior base contraction, and favorable close location, typically playing out over 3–5 days.
Only if using --fmp-universe or --symbols modes for live data. You can provide historical OHLCV as JSON (--prices-json) to run offline without an API key.
A/A- candidates meet high-quality criteria and are ready for chart validation and position sizing. B candidates are lower-confidence watchlist items. Watch-only candidates lack sufficient trigger strength. Rejected candidates fail one or more failure filters.
No. The skill is a candidate-generation workflow, not a signal service. Always validate A/A- candidates with technical-analyst for manual chart review before position sizing and execution.
Output feeds into technical-analyst (chart validation), position-sizer (risk and sizing calculation), and trader-memory-core (trade logging and post-analysis).

name: stockbee-momentum-burst-screener description: Screen US stocks for Stockbee-style short-term Momentum Burst setups using 4% breakout, dollar breakout, range expansion, volume expansion, prior range contraction, close-location, failure filters, and risk-distance scoring. Use when the user asks for Stockbee, Pradeep Bonde, momentum burst, 4% breakout, range expansion, dollar breakout, short-term swing momentum candidates, or 3-5 day burst setup review.
Stockbee Momentum Burst Screener
Screen US equities for Stockbee-style short-term Momentum Burst candidates. The skill is a candidate-generation and setup-quality workflow, not a signal service or an auto-execution system.
When to Use
- User asks for Stockbee / Pradeep Bonde style Momentum Burst screening
- User wants 4% breakout, dollar breakout, or range expansion candidates
- User asks for short-term 3-5 day swing momentum setups
- User wants to review whether a daily breakout has A/B/C setup quality
- User provides a symbol list, universe file, or historical OHLCV JSON for screening
- User wants candidate outputs to feed into
technical-analyst,position-sizer, ortrader-memory-core
Prerequisites
- FMP API key for live universe and historical OHLCV screening:
export FMP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here - Optional no-API path: provide
--prices-jsoncontaining daily OHLCV bars by symbol. - Run only after the market-regime workflow allows new swing risk, or mark output as manual-review-only.
Workflow
Step 1: Choose Input Mode
Use one of three modes:
Mode A: FMP universe scan
python3 skills/stockbee-momentum-burst-screener/scripts/screen_momentum_burst.py \
--fmp-universe \
--max-symbols 300 \
--output-dir reports/
Mode B: Explicit symbols
python3 skills/stockbee-momentum-burst-screener/scripts/screen_momentum_burst.py \
--symbols NVDA SMCI PLTR TSLA \
--output-dir reports/
Mode C: Offline OHLCV JSON
python3 skills/stockbee-momentum-burst-screener/scripts/screen_momentum_burst.py \
--prices-json data/daily_ohlcv.json \
--output-dir reports/
Step 2: Run the Screening Pass
The script detects these trigger families:
- 4% Breakout:
close / previous_close >= 1.04, volume above previous day, and volume above the liquidity floor - Dollar Breakout:
close - open >= 0.90, volume above the liquidity floor - Range Expansion: current daily range exceeds the prior three daily ranges while the prior day was not already extended
It then scores setup quality using:
- Trigger strength
- Volume expansion
- Prior base / range contraction quality
- Close location near the high of day
- Risk distance to the trigger-day low
- Failure filters such as prior 3-day run-up or recent 4% breakdown
- Market gate alignment
Step 3: Review Output
Read the generated JSON and Markdown reports. For each candidate, present:
- Trigger type and all matched trigger tags
- Day gain, dollar gain, volume ratio, and close-location percentage
- Prior base length and base width
- Entry reference, stop reference, and risk percentage to stop
- Setup score, rating, state, and reject reasons
- Suggested downstream action
Step 4: Send Survivors to Trade Planning
Use the output conservatively:
- A / A- candidates: send to
technical-analystfor manual chart validation, thenposition-sizer - B candidates: watchlist or smaller-risk review only
- Watch-only candidates: keep in model book; do not plan a trade unless chart review upgrades the setup
- Rejected candidates: retain for post-analysis, not for execution
