Technical Signals
Chartlas screens 34,000+ securities daily across 70+ exchanges for 23 technical signals. Here are four of them, with live results from large-cap stocks ($10B+ market cap).
Volume Breakout
What It Is
A Volume Breakout occurs when trading volume surges significantly above its recent average. Unusual volume often precedes or confirms major price moves — it reflects a sudden shift in market interest. A spike on an up day suggests buying pressure; on a down day, it points to distribution or panic selling. Volume breakouts are among the earliest signs that something is changing in a stock.
How Chartlas Detects It
Chartlas compares each day’s volume to the 20-day rolling average. When volume exceeds 2× the average, the stock is flagged as a Volume Breakout. The direction (bullish or bearish) is determined by the candle: if the close is above the open, it’s bullish; below, it’s bearish. This runs daily across 30,000+ securities after each exchange closes.

MACD Crossover
What It Is
The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) crossover is one of the most widely followed momentum signals in technical analysis. It measures the relationship between two exponential moving averages of a stock’s price. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it suggests bullish momentum is building. When it crosses below, momentum is turning bearish. Traders use it to confirm trend direction and spot potential reversals early.
How Chartlas Detects It
Chartlas computes the MACD line (12-day EMA minus 26-day EMA) and the signal line (9-day EMA of the MACD line) for every security, every day. A bullish trigger fires when the MACD line crosses above the signal line; bearish when it crosses below. The MACD histogram (difference between the two lines) is displayed in the chart’s sub-panel for visual confirmation.

Higher Highs & Higher Lows Streak
What It Is
A streak of consecutive days making higher highs and higher lows is the textbook definition of an uptrend. The reverse — lower lows and lower highs — defines a downtrend. This signal captures the purest form of price structure: is the stock making progress in one direction?
How Chartlas Detects It
Chartlas tracks consecutive trading days where both the daily high exceeds the prior day’s high and the daily low exceeds the prior day’s low (bullish), or the mirror image for bearish. The signal triggers when a streak reaches a minimum length, confirming a directional commitment. This is computed daily across the entire universe after each exchange close.

CHRT Industry Index — MA Crossover
What It Is
A Moving Average Crossover occurs when a shorter-term moving average crosses a longer-term one. When the 50-day MA crosses above the 200-day MA (a Golden Cross), it suggests a shift toward bullish momentum. The opposite — a Death Cross — signals bearish momentum. Applied to CHRT equal-weighted industry indexes, this signal helps identify which sectors and industries are gaining or losing trend strength across different geographies.
How Chartlas Detects It
Chartlas computes 4,000+ custom equal-weighted industry indexes across 8 geographies. Each index gives every constituent the same weight, so a handful of large stocks can’t mask what’s really happening in the industry. The MA Crossover signal runs on these indexes daily, flagging Golden Crosses and Death Crosses.

Bullish Trend Breakdown
What It Is
A Bullish Trend Breakdown flags stocks that have been in a long-term uptrend but are now showing short-term weakness. The stock is trading near its long-term highs, but the short-term structure is breaking down. This matters because it can be an early warning that a sustained uptrend is losing steam. For short sellers, it’s a potential entry signal. For long holders, it’s a yellow flag.
How Chartlas Detects It
Chartlas identifies stocks whose price remains within the upper range of long-term price action but has confirmed a short-term breakdown by registering a 20-day new low. This combination — long-term strength plus short-term deterioration — is the trigger. The signal is always bearish by definition and runs daily across the full global universe.

Double Top Breakout
What It Is
A Double Top Breakout is a bullish signal. A stock tests the same resistance level twice, pulling back each time, then finally breaks through. The two failed attempts to push past a ceiling, followed by a decisive move higher, signals that buying pressure has overcome the resistance. This pattern often marks the beginning of a new uptrend. Once a resistance level that held twice is finally cleared, it tends to become support.
How Chartlas Detects It
Chartlas uses volatility-adjusted tolerance to identify two peaks at similar levels. The tolerance is normalized by each stock’s daily volatility, so stable stocks require tighter peak alignment while volatile names allow more room. The algorithm confirms a meaningful retracement between peaks, validates that no price between the peaks exceeded the resistance, then triggers when the closing price breaks above. Failed breakouts are tracked separately as a bearish reversal signal.

Double Bottom Breakdown
What It Is
A Double Bottom Breakdown is a bearish signal — the mirror image of the Double Top Breakout. A stock bounces off the same support level twice, rallies between bounces, then breaks below that support. The floor that held twice has cracked, signaling that sellers have taken control. Double bottom breakdowns often accelerate after the break, as stop-losses trigger and longs capitulate.
How Chartlas Detects It
Chartlas identifies two troughs at similar levels using the same volatility-adjusted tolerance as the Double Top Breakout. It validates that no price between the troughs fell below the support, confirms a meaningful rally between them, then triggers when the closing price breaks below. Failed breakdowns are tracked separately as a bullish reversal signal.
