Everyone watches the high of day. That's the opportunity and the trap.
A new session high is the most-watched event on a momentum name: the cleanest continuation trigger there is, and precisely because everyone sees it, the most manufactured fakeout. A HOD scanner earns its place by qualifying breaks, not just listing them.
Qualify the break, not the tick
Three qualifications separate a break from a poke. Volume: the break window should expand against the prior five minutes. A high taken on shrinking volume is an invitation to the fade. Stretch: distance from VWAP is the honest "how late am I?" gauge, printed on the row rather than filtered, because your playbook's tolerance is yours. History: the count of prior tests this session. A third clean test behaves differently from a first, and both differently from a level that's been poked and rejected twice.
The clock and the halt state change everything
A HOD break at 9:33 is opening rotation noise; at 10:45 it's information; at 12:30 on lunch tape, 2× the prior five minutes can still be nothing. And a halted name reopening through its high is not a breakout at all. It's a reopen trade with its own rules and its own risk. The scanner shows the clock context and the halt state so the same alert never means two different things silently.
