Another idea might simply be to create a chartlist of all the early Stage 2 breakouts already in progress. i.e making their first or second significant advance higher following the initial Stage 2A breakout point on heavy volume i.e during wave 1 or wave 3 if you like Elliott wave theory. And then just simply look through the chartlist at the end of each week for the first multi week pullback.
At that point if you drop down the timeframes to the 2 hour chart, you can practice Stage Analysis on an intraday level to perfectly time the entry point, as the pullback on the 2 hour chart will present as a Stage 4 decline if you setup the 2 hour chart with the same settings as the weekly chart.
So you simply wait for the stocks Stage 1 base to form on the 2 hour chart, and monitor the volume of the decline compared to the 2 hour Stage 2 advance that just preceeded it. Then as the pullback slows you should see a Stage 1 base forming on the 2 hour chart, which after the initial bounce will give you a level to watch for a Stage 2A breakout as it would on the weekly, you can even use the 2 hour ichimoku cloud to see resistance. Then as with a weekly Stage 2A breakout, all the same rules apply. The breakout above that Stage 1 level should be on at least 2x the volume on the 2 hour chart, and it should be relatively outperforming the S&P 500, or it's a pass.
This multi timeframe method on pullbacks is not part of Stans method, but something I've used to good effect many times, and something that I'm continuing to refine as my own improvement to the Stage Analysis method. As well as a multi timeframe approach on the breakouts, where I use the monthly, weekly, daily and 2 hours charts.
