1	# SEPA Strategy Analysis
2
3	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.
4
5	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.
6
7	> This skill is for educational/analytical purposes only. It does not constitute investment advice. Never execute trades based solely on this analysis.
8
9	---
10
11	## Step 1: Gather Stock Data
12
13	Collect the following data for the stock. Use yfinance, funda-data, or any available market data tool.
14
15	\| Data needed \| Purpose \|
16	\|---\|---\|
17	\| Current price \| Trend template check \|
18	\| 50-day, 150-day, 200-day moving averages \| MA alignment verification \|
19	\| 52-week high and low \| Price position check \|
20	\| 200MA value from 1 month ago and 4-5 months ago \| MA200 slope direction \|
21	\| 20-day average volume + today's volume \| Volume ratio analysis \|
22	\| Recent quarterly EPS (last 3-4 quarters) \| EPS growth & acceleration \|
23	\| Annual EPS (last 3 years) \| Long-term growth trend \|
24	\| Recent quarterly revenue (last 3-4 quarters) \| Revenue growth check \|
25	\| Gross margin and net margin trend \| Margin health \|
26	\| Institutional ownership changes (if available) \| Smart money signal \|
27	\| RS rating or 12-month relative performance vs S&P 500 \| Relative strength \|
28	\| Price history for pattern recognition \| VCP / chart pattern analysis \|
29
30	If certain data is unavailable, note it and proceed with what you have. Missing RS rating is a significant gap — flag it.
31
32	---
33
34	## Step 2: Stage Analysis — Identify the Current Stage
35
36	Every stock cycles through four stages. Read `references/stage-analysis.md` for full details.
37
38	Determine which stage the stock is in:
39
40	\| Stage \| Characteristics \| Action \|
41	\|---\|---\|---\|
42	\| Stage 1 — Basing \| Price near 200MA, MA flat/declining, MAs tangled, low volume \| Do nothing, wait \|
43	\| Stage 2 — Advancing \| Making higher highs/lows, bullish MA alignment, volume on up days \| Only stage to buy \|
44	\| Stage 3 — Topping \| Wide swings at highs, frequent false breakouts, heavy volume without progress \| Reduce, no new positions \|
45	\| Stage 4 — Declining \| Below all MAs, bearish alignment, bounces are selling opportunities \| Full cash, stay away \|
46
47	If the stock is NOT in Stage 2, stop here and tell the user. No further analysis needed.
48
49	Within Stage 2, count the base number (how many consolidation-then-breakout cycles have occurred):
50	- Base 1-2: Safest, most upside potential — full position
51	- Base 3-4: Still valid but reduce position size
52	- Base 5-6: Late stage — half position at most
53	- Base 7+: Avoid — likely transitioning to Stage 3
54
55	---
56
57	## Step 3: Trend Template — 8 Mandatory Conditions
58
59	All 8 conditions must be met simultaneously. If any fails, the stock does not qualify. Read `references/trend-template.md` for detailed explanations.
60
61	Present results as a checklist:
62
63	\| # \| Condition \| Status \| Value \|
64	\|---\|---\|---\|---\|
65	\| 1 \| Price > 150MA and Price > 200MA \| Pass/Fail \| [actual values] \|
66	\| 2 \| 150MA > 200MA \| Pass/Fail \| [actual values] \|
67	\| 3 \| 200MA trending up for ≥1 month (ideally 4-5 months) \| Pass/Fail \| [slope data] \|
68	\| 4 \| 50MA > 150MA and 50MA > 200MA \| Pass/Fail \| [actual values] \|
69	\| 5 \| Price > 50MA \| Pass/Fail \| [actual values] \|
70	\| 6 \| Price ≥ 30% above 52-week low \| Pass/Fail \| [% above low] \|
71	\| 7 \| Price within 25% of 52-week high \| Pass/Fail \| [% from high] \|
72	\| 8 \| Relative Strength > 70th percentile (prefer 85-90+) \| Pass/Fail/Unknown \| [RS if available] \|
73
74	Memory aid: Conditions 1-5 = "MA staircase" (Price > 50MA > 150MA > 200MA, 200MA rising). Conditions 6-7 = "Price position" (far from low, near high). Condition 8 = "Relative strength" (market leader).
75
76	---
77
78	## Step 4: Fundamental Check
79
80	Strong fundamentals separate real leaders from momentum-only stocks. Read `references/f
