The Stages of Stage Analysis are defined in more of a descriptive than a simple mathematical manner, with entry to Stage 2 being from a breakout from Stage 1 and entry into Stage 4 on a breakdown from Stage 3.  At best we can make an algorithm that identifies a reasonable approximation to the stages.  Picking breakouts for humans is easier than for computers - as typically for the computer to do so we need to plot a channel (e.g. a Donchian channel) and identify a breakout from it.  However, what is the approrpiate time period for the channel varies from chart to chart.  I've ignored channels and used an algorithm that works something like this...

I take it that you haven't seen the Stage Analysis Technical Attributes (SATA) indicator that I created on Tradingview, which gives a good automated guide of the Stages, and uses a scoring system based on 10 key characteristics from the method, and was expanded from my original work on the SATA concept 10 years ago when I first launched the site, when I was looking for common characteristics of the Stages.

This is currently being developed for the frontend on the website, since Christmas, and a new Stage Analysis screener using it with individual pages for each stock will be included with it and much more. Is going to be a great tool, and help with the forest to the trees approach and relative strength.
