# Breakout Trade Planner Generate trade plans from VCP screener output following Mark Minervini's breakout methodology. Calculate position sizes using worst-case entry prices, enforce portfolio risk limits, and output Alpaca API-compatible order templates. ## When to Use - User has VCP screener JSON output and wants trade plans - User asks for breakout entry/stop/target calculation - User wants Alpaca order templates for VCP breakout candidates - User needs position sizing with portfolio heat management ## Prerequisites - VCP screener JSON output with `schema_version: "1.0"` - No API keys required (works with local JSON files) - No external skill dependencies (position sizing is built-in) ## Workflow ### Step 1: Generate Trade Plans Run the planner with VCP screener output: ```bash python3 skills/breakout-trade-planner/scripts/plan_breakout_trades.py \ --input reports/vcp_screener_YYYY-MM-DD.json \ --account-size 100000 \ --risk-pct 0.5 \ --output-dir reports/ ``` ### Step 2: Review Output Read the generated JSON and Markdown reports. Present: 1. **Actionable Orders** — Pre-breakout candidates with order templates 2. **Revalidation** — Breakout-state candidates needing live confirmation 3. **Watchlist** — Developing VCP candidates to monitor 4. **Rejected/Deferred/Constrained** — Candidates filtered by Gate or portfolio limits ### Step 3: Explain Trade Plans For each actionable order, explain: - Entry levels (signal vs worst-case) and stop-loss placement
