Pattern: Price above both SMA-50 and SMA-200 (uptrend confirmed). RSI between 35–75. RSI making higher lows (each pullback stops higher than the last) and higher highs (each rally goes higher) — the staircase structure of healthy momentum.  |  Sweet zone: RSI 40–62 (shown in green) — after pullback, before overbought.
Backtest Win% (non-overlapping windows, 95% Wilson CI, empirical-Bayes shrinkage): Of all independent historical instances (first signal per 20-day window, last 575 days) where this stock was in this same RSI zone + uptrend, what % resulted in a positive 20-day forward return? Managed return uses the live exit rules (trim 50% @+10%, trim 25% @+20%, exit rest on SMA50 break). Confidence intervals shrink small-n estimates toward the 52% base rate. Negative-expectancy names are excluded from Textbook tier.  |  Higher Low ✓ = most recent RSI trough is above the prior trough.  |  Higher High ✓ = most recent RSI peak is above the prior peak.
★ Textbook Staircase Higher lows + higher highs in RSI confirmed — ideal entry zone
