Breakout Hits Scan Results – 16/52 (Seeds + Yahoo) – 2026-10-20
This post summarizes a recent breakout scan that flagged 16 stocks out of 52 candidates as “strong.” The scan used a combination of proprietary scoring and distance above the Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average (ZLEMA). All names shown are trading above their respective ZLEMA values at the time of the scan.
The table below includes the original scan data plus hypothetical entry, stop-loss, and target levels derived from the reported closes and ZLEMA values. These levels are illustrative only and are not recommendations.
Scan Overview
- Total hits: 16 out of 52
- All classified as “strong”
- Scores range from 52 to 100
- Heavy representation from the energy sector
- Reference line: Zero Lag EMA (ZLEMA)
Hypothetical Trade Levels Table
Entry is set near the reported close. Stop is placed slightly below the ZLEMA. Target is a modest 8–12% extension above entry (typical short-term breakout objective). Risk and reward percentages and the resulting risk/reward ratio are calculated from those levels.

Notes on the levels: Stops are placed approximately 2% below the reported ZLEMA. Targets assume a flat 10% upside from entry for consistency across the list. Actual price action, volume, and news can invalidate any of these levels quickly.
Key Observations
- Energy names dominate the higher-scoring portion of the list (HPK, BTE, BP, SU, APA, OVV, PBR).
- HPK shows the largest distance above its ZLEMA (+6.3%) and the highest score.
- Several hotel REITs (PEB, APLE, PK) and consumer names also appear.
- Risk/reward ratios vary mainly because of differing distances between entry and the ZLEMA-based stop.
