High Tight Flag Setup
One of O'Neil's rarest and most powerful patterns. The stock doubles or more in 4–8 weeks (the pole), then consolidates 10–25% for 3–5 weeks in a tight flag. The HTF signals a stock with explosive earnings and explosive institutional demand. When it breaks out, it often continues with another 100%+ move.
Setup Criteria
- › Flagpole: 100%+ advance in 4–8 weeks
- › Flag depth: 10–25% max (tighter = better)
- › Flag duration: 3–5 weeks
- › Volume contraction during flag (major dryup)
- › Stock must have dominant EPS/sales growth
Entry
Breakout above the flag high on heavy volume.
Stop Loss
Below the bottom of the flag — small position given high price level.
