Does the volume use the 52-week moving average or the 5-week moving average during the breakout week?

The investor method says that you should have at least 2 times the 4 week average volume on the Stage 2 breakout - A entry point.

I prefer to use the 52 week MA personally, as it is stricter than the the 4 week, as the 2 times rule is only a minimum. So ideally you want to see much more volume than that.

Stan's original chart is very unclear. I wonder if Mansfield chart services is still running? Can the stock charts in the book be viewed online?

The Mansfield Charting service no longer exists I believe. But you can easily set up your charts in the same way via most good charting programs.

And to see the stocks from the book, you'd need a charting service that provides historical data as well.
