Analyze stocks with Mark Minervini's SEPA (Specific Entry Point Analysis) methodology: stage analysis, the 8-condition trend template, fundamentals, VCP and other base patterns, pivot-point entries, market environment, and risk-based position sizing. Use this skill whenever the user mentions SEPA, Minervini, superperformance, the trend template, VCP (volatility contraction pattern), Stage 2, pivot or breakout entries, moving-average stacking (price above the 50/150/200-day MAs), breakout volume, position sizing from risk percentage, growth-stock screening or swing-trade entry criteria, or bases such as cup-with-handle, flat base, bull flag, or high tight flag. Also use it when the user asks "should I buy this stock" or "is this a good setup" about a growth or momentum name, or shares a chart for pattern analysis.

What this skill does
SEPA Strategy Analysis Analyze stocks using Mark Minervini's SEPA (Specific Entry Point Analysis) framework — a complete system for identifying high-probability growth stock entries with strict risk management. Core philosophy: Buy the right stock, in the right stage, at a precise entry point, with strict risk controls. Win rate is ~50-55% — profitability comes from asymmetric risk/reward (small losses, large gains), not from predicting direction. This skill is for educational/analytical purposes only. It does not constitute investment advice. Never execute trades based solely on this analysis. --- Step 1: Gather Stock Data Collect the following data for the stock. Use yfinance or any available market data tool. Data needed Purpose --- --- Current price Trend template check 50-day, 150-day, 200-day moving averages MA alignment verification 52-week high and low Price position check 200MA value from 1 month ago and 4-5 months ago MA200 slope direction 20-day average volume + today's volume Volume ratio analysis Recent quarterly EPS (last 3-4 quarters) EPS growth & acceleration Annual EPS (last 3 years) Long-term growth trend Recent quarterly revenue (last 3-4 quarters) Revenue growth check Gross margin and net margin trend Margin health Institutional ownership changes (if available) Smart money signal RS rating or 12-month relative performance vs S&P 500 Relative strength Price history for pattern recognition VCP / chart pattern analysis Compute the moving averages, 200MA slope, 52-week range, volume ratio, and relative performance from daily price history in code rather than estimating them — two years of history covers the 200-day MA and its 5-month slope. If certain data is unavailable, note it and proceed with what you have. Missing RS rating is a significant gap — flag it. --- Step 2: Stage Analysis — Identify the Current Stage Every stock cycles through four stages. Read references/stage-analysis.md for full details. …
