About Unusual Breakouts

Unusual Breakouts is a momentum stock screener that filters by 1M / 3M / 6M / 1Y relative performance. The rules are grounded in systematic, backtested research — including Qullamaggie-style breakout logic traced to data from 2007 onward — so you can explore ideas with structure instead of noise.
